Stand outside white house gate and give a press conference about how fucked everything is.

Join a protest crowd near a Tesla

Go to a trump/musk conference (or some of their top goons) and ask them some questions

When they chain up another department, show up with some boltcutters

I've been working on weekends for a few months not because I have to (or Im pressured into it), but because it's a really interesting project and I'm having a great time figuring it out.

It's nice to see you're not alone in your thoughts, that the world is crazy not you.

But yeah that's about it :(

They even scratched some eyelashes into it, so cute ❤️

Empathy is easily used for propaganda as well. All those "immigrants are going to r your wife" and "radical elites transing your children" are the appeals to empathy that work very well (there are examples from the left too lets be honest, they're just less unhinged)

IMO you need empathy, rationality and introspection: empathy to feel for your fellow human, rationality to not fall for the grift, introspection to realize in what ways you were an idiot and self-correct.

The wave of scepticism that will inevitably come in 2030s will weed out the grifters, but I doubt it'll last. Time is a flat circle afterall.

The real brain melter was the societal culture shift.

I grew up witnessing "the end of history" with my own eyes. People were getting wiser and kinder year after year, decade after decade. It was like a feedback loop of positive changes, the only way was up.

Then 2010s hit and I'm still processing the 180 degrees shift. I read dozens of books about nazis, authoritarianism, societal memory, cults, fucking roman empire. But I still have cognitive dissonance every time I open news feed.

"Fediverse chick" has such a 2010 vibe

"Hi! This is Hobby X channel and Im the only woman with a decent follower count amidst an ocean of white dudes, I've accepted the need to pander to teen male audience so you can just call me the ActivityGirl/Chick/Babe"

Ya, its a mode! There's like 25 of those. This game has a lot of content if you love the format.

I think it's less about sympathy and more about understanding what lead him to this point.

You can analyze why a "normal" person did monstrous things without shedding a tear for them. One day someone will make "Zone of Interest" about billionaires living in their bunkers, cleaning air filters from human ash.

Im a mid with two juniors under me, super happy when they take initiative and do something creative

.. instead of following youtrack to the letter, leaving me to rewrite half of it before the merge 😔

Blursed doesn't have difficulty choices iirc. It starts easy with some blessings, and becomes increasingly impossible with a mountain of curses.

I haven't played since september though, should probably go checkout new patch!

I played hundreds of hours of blursed runs on my phone. My longest is 135 fights :3
