indigenous woman who is also a vidya designer, on the "indigenous" section on CBC:

Neighbor why are "indigenous" and "aboriginal" activist foids always like the Whitest motherlovers on the planet?

When the video game Custer's Revenge first came out more than 30 years ago, a successful boycott eventually caused it to be pulled from store shelves The controversial video game, made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique (now defunct), depicts indigenous women tied to trees and cacti and r*ped.

When indigenous game designer Elizabeth LaPensée found out this game was again available for play online she took to Twitter to voice her outrage.

"The game reinforces systemic violence against native women," said LaPensée.

Daniel Starkey, a Chickashsha Nation game journ*list, was researching a story about Native American representation in games when he came across YouTube videos of Custer's Revenge. Starkey spoke with LaPensée about his find. The two of them were able to find several game-play footage videos on YouTube, but it wasn't until Starkey dug deeper that he actually found a playable link to a remade version of the game.

"I'm not in a position to go to that link, download it and play it. I don't know how far back that would put me in my personal healing," said LaPenśee from her home in Oregon. But Starkey did download the game to prove that it can be played.

"[It] made me sick to my stomach and brought me to tears," said Starkey. "I respect its right to exist, but it's almost impossible for me to figure out how anyone could consider the game of cultural value to anyone."

B-WORD THIS IS A FRICKING ATARI GAME FROM 1982

IT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTED WHEN IT CAME OUT

THE COMPANY THAT MADE IT DOESN'T EXISTS ANYMORE

THE DEVS WHO CREATED IT ARE IN THEIR 70S OR 80S IF THEY ARE STILL ALIVE

ARE YOU GONNA CALL FOR THE BOYCOTT OF SALÒ AND ERASERHEAD NEXT?

LaPensée is a former game journ*list turned game designer. Until now, LaPensée had not spoken out against violence against women in video games. The gaming industry has come under fire for its sexual harassment against women and female game designers and journ*lists have had their safety and lives threatened.

LaPensée said she has stayed quiet for this very reason.

"If anyone were to attack me in that way, I just don't have the allies in the game industry who would help protect me and look out for me, I have the native community too," said LaPensée.

For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic.

• Elizabeth LaPensée, video game designer

LaPensée, who designs games that promote indigenous heritage and healing, said her decision to speak out now is based on her career's work.

"This has been my whole life's work, starting off as a g*mer and then looking at native representation in video games. And finding the places that we can step up, and step in and define our representations ourselves," said LaPensée.

"For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic."

In the last 24 hours, since LaPensée`s initial tweet and the follow-up Twitter conversation, several videos of game-play footage have been taken down. Starkey added the footage violates YouTube's terms of service by containing explicit content and uncensored nudity.

LaPensée said that even though a game like this exists, the indigenous community can change the narrative by replacing the content with positive messages.

"We can make games too. We're completely capable of it. The cowtools are much more accessible, the technology is much more accessible than it used to be," said LaPensée, adding a lot of her work is responding to a game like this.

Holy fricking shit, imagine sperging out about a game that was 31 years old (now 41) by the time this article was written, this is even more pathetic than the Brapzilian Pentecostal TV channel in 2011 sperging out against Duke Nukem 3D , this is like if Jack Thompson came back from the shadows and started to shit on Doom and Doom 2 30 years later

The tumblr post announcing the depooning

https://mantimecomic.tumblr.com/post/772596812377980928/hello-all

I'll preface this post by saying that it's not a political statement. I have no agenda here other than telling my own story, and I have no ill-will towards anyone in this community.

I'm detransitioning. I have many reasons – Some related to my medical health, some to my mental and emotional health, and some to changing feelings about my identity. I won't go into too much detail here, as I like to keep my private life private.

I will share that the medical issues testosterone caused me had to do with reproductive system health, blood pressure and cholesterol, undiagnosed polycythemia, and mental health issues. I'm not a doctor, so I'm not in a position to make any medical statements.

However I feel that I have the obligation and the right to share my story about how testosterone was harmful to me. Because of these side effects, and the psychological trauma I experienced due to them, I began to reconsider how I feel about my identity and my body.

I came to the conclusion that I'm simply a masculine lesbian woman. Transition wasn't the right path for me. So I've reversed course and am becoming the person I feel I was meant to be all along. My feelings of gender dysphoria have been resolved. Through detransition, my medical and mental health issues have also for the most part resolved, and I'm feeling much happier and more optimistic for the future!

That's my truth. Your truth may be different, and I respect that. Please take a moment to think before you send hate messages. I'm not putting any hate out here and I'd appreciate it if you all would meet me with the same respect. And no, my account has not been hacked. I stopped posting new work here because of what I've been going through, and because it started to feel disingenuous when my mindset about my identity shifted.

My intentions with this post are to share my story and to reach out so that followers who are going through similar things know that they're not alone and there is support. If you're struggling, feel free to reach out in my DMs. I can connect you to support groups and try to help you find any resources you may need.

Thank you all for supporting my comic and for the years of good vibes! I'll make an update if I decide to start sharing work on a new account.

new 8 minute compilation:

2024 meltdown compilation:

2016 all over again:

the moment when MSNBC announced his win

/r/teachers meltdown @iStillMissEd

Intro

Greetings, fellow dramatards . When Mr. Beast burgers first launched, I, like any other functioning adult, didn't give a shit. But ever since they announced he was planning to sue the dark kitchen he partnered with for this venture—and in turn, they were suing him back —I developed this morbid curiosity to try them. Recently, with all the drama surrounding Mr. Beast, I decided that if I wanted to try them, it would be now or never, before this affront to all fast food finally goes where it belongs: the grave.

I'll try to keep this brief but informative .

Order

This was my order:

• 1 Beast Style Burger

• 1 Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich

• 1 Beast Style Fries

• 1 Chocolate Cookie

It's a lot of food , but worry not, I just wanted to get one of all my fast food favorites since I don't think I'll be ordering this shit ever again in my life . Hopefully, it'll be worth it to save half of each thing for tomorrow, rather than throwing it all out... and speaking of being worth it...

Price

I know prices might change depending on the region, so I will add a similar McDonald's order for comparison. On this order, I spent... $9.99 for a Beast Style Burger, $6.79 for the Beast Style Fries, $9.49 for the Chicken Sandwich, and $2.99 for the cookie. That is a grand total of...

$29.26!! (+ delivery fees)

That is fricking insane . For comparison, a similar McDonald's order would cost me $18.60 (Quarter Pounder: $5.95, McCrispy: $5.60, Basket of Fries: $4.05, 2 Cookies: $3.00).

Mr. Beast is 57.3% more expensive than Mickey D's .

Jesus. But I'm sure it'll be worth it, right?

The Food

It came wrapped up in this cute bag.

Something I found really cool were these safety seals which indicate if your delivery guy tried to steal some of your fries .

I gotta be honest, I love it. It's cute branding, and it made me feel like as long as the food is good, I didn't get THAT ripped off.

Taking out the items was easy, and they all came individually wrapped too. Another good thing .

I actually had to wait a good 15 minutes before starting to unwrap my meal since I got busy. Again, credit where credit is due, the food was still pretty hot when I got to it. Didn't even have to pop it into the microwave.

Now, the moment we've all been waiting for... how does it look?

Ok, two things immediately jump to mind:

• This looks really good

• This looks COMPLETELY different from what I saw on their menu and many social media posts .

I don't know if I got unlucky (or lucky ) or if they just gave up and now deliver whatever the frick the dark kitchen is making for themselves (as this comment wisely pointed out).

I guess I am a little disappointed that I won't get the raw meat burger experience I was promised . But enough sulking, let's give them a try.

TASTE

Beast Style Burger

To me, it looks really good... but does it taste good? ...

Yes! Well ... kind of . The patty is pretty tasty, the buns are good if nothing special, the cheese is not bad quality, which is always a risk with these types of ventures, and the mayo-ketchup ratio is good. I honestly can't find a single thing to complain about, other than there's nothing special about it .

It's not THE BEST burger I've had, but it's not bad. Here, I'll give a list of how other burgers compare in my mind, along with this one, so you can get a feel of my preferences:

• Wendy's Baconator: 10/10. The absolute pinnacle of fast food. I love it, and I've never had a bad one.

• Quarter Pounder: 8/10. Pretty good. Not as good as the Baconator, but a solid option that plays in its own field.

• Burger King: No idea. It's trash, all of it.

• Whataburger: 6/10. Not a fan. They are a little dry for my taste.

Now, what would I score this one? ...

• Beast Style Burger: 7/10.

As I said, it's not bad at all, but really, even if you ignore the price (which is a big fricking if), it still gets outclassed by a Quarter Pounder. Overall, not a bad experience, but I'm pretty sure it's a far cry from what a lot of people got to taste.

The one thing that I guess is a constant are the ingredients, and this burger is condiment HEAVY. It has a good amount of mayonnaise , which I never add to my burgers. Despite it not being bad, the reality is that once you account for its price, it's just not worth it at all... let's see how everything else fares.

Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich

I'll be honest. This one looks a lot less impressive than the burger . It's just 2 pieces of chicken and some lettuce. I actually prefer chicken sandwiches to burgers, but it's rare for a burger chain to nail them. I usually order mine from Wingstop. Is this one even close to the supreme Wingstop Louisiana or Cajun sandwiches?

• Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich: 5/10.

Nope. Not at all.

I'll explain my scoring system a little, to make my opinion on this one a bit clearer. Anything between 1 and 3 is something I would NOT EAT, even if freely available. A 4 I might consider if I'm starving and won't be able to eat anything else for a good 3 or 4 hours.

Between 5 and 6, you'll find all the things that I am willing to eat FOR FREE. Meaning that I would never, in a million years, order them for myself, but if I attend an event or someone's party and that's what they have, sure, whatever, it's better than nothing. This falls squarely there. It was extremely forgettable and a waste of money, if I'm honest. NEXT.

Beast Style Fries

These are weird . They're just regular fries but with caramelized onions, American cheese, pickles, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Not bad, I guess, but again, really condiment heavy. To me, this just highlights how much this food was targeted for babies and little kids. No adult needs this much shit added to their fries to enjoy them .

* Beast Style Fries: 6/10.

Now, for the last part, dessert

Cookie

It was not even a fricking cookie. They gave me a brownie. EXTREMELY sugary, but not dry. 4/10.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my food review c:

It has recently come to my attention that we, as a community, are wasting too much time discussing the ban of the discussion about the ban of twitter links. To prevent a dip on drama contracts being carried out and keep the marleycoin economy of the town flowing, all discussion of any kind of ban discussion is banned.

I would love to cast blessing of light on all of you, brothers and sisters, to guide you on your path towards salvation and productivity, unfortunately I am merely a Lv1 Cleric, so I shall save it for the comment that needs me the most.

Thank you so much for your attention. May the Gods bless you all

We were not compatible, had very little if anything in common, and she stalked me.Others I was not attracted to at all, and they had zero boundaries. The one woman is incredibly self centered, almost narcissistic, goes into massive debt, love and s*x bombs, treats her family horribly, hangs out with hard drug addicts who she should have ended the friendship with decades ago, and just makes very bad life choices like getting pregnant on purpose to illegal immigrants who are using her and their kid for a visa or to try to get citizenship and are deadbeat dads neglecting their kids.Another woman had zero goals or ambitions, dropped out of a university, dropped out of a local community college, smoked and used drugs, could have inherited a highly successful business and ran it but refused, has zero self confidence, got with an abusive ex and then got with a sugar daddy who she drained (pun intended) baby trapped and married this abusive man and feels trapped and they are broke.I also re...

One I rejected was, had an instant red flag. We hung out one night but the next day I was sick. I was sick for the next week. We were talking and texting the entire time. Everything seemed normal. Just out of the blue she texted and said if I didn't come over now, I don't care about her. I instantly blocked her without a reply. I was still sick. Another one I rejected had ex, 'trying to commit suicide.' She went over there. She was telling me about it the entire time it was happening and I told her it was not a good idea and that she needed to call the police. If he was willing to hurt himself, there's no telling what he might do to her, I said. She still went, she found herself locked in the bathroom calling me up to get her. I did, but that was the last night I seen her. (1)

Pre COVID I used to have women sneak up on me and play with my hair to flirt with me and that's an instant rejection.  It's a crappy person who touches a stranger's afro. (124)

My husband had a fro as a young man, and he also hated that shit. He said it was an easy litmus test; if a woman touched his shit without permission, she was obviously a dumb b-word and he had no interest in anything with her.And before anyone says anything about "dumb b-word", if a man were to walk up and touch any part of me without my permission I would immediately consider him to be a stupid butthole, so I think that's a fair comparison, if we're going to insult people of either gender who do dumb shit.

Canadians aren't angry at average Americans. You're our neighbors and closest allies. The issue is with your government disrespecting our politicians and sovereignty, not with the average person. Most people here understand that the general public isn't to blame for this. Unless someone comes in spewing nonsense and supporting a "takeover" of Canada, there's no real problem. You might get the occasional comment about it, but our frustration is directed at your male feminist tyrant, not Americans as a whole. (1)
