  • I thought being a gamer meant I was prepared. " No “Get off the Nintendo” or “just pause it” from me I naively thought, “I’ll be able to play all their games and even enjoy the game!” I was such an idiot.

    Nothing could have prepared me for the rapid clip “game surfing”. What’s worse, I can remember how to play them all just fine from my own childhood, but it’s the constant in and out of memory that gets me lol

    I know what it feels like to be RAM LMAO

    Lol how nice you can just label any word you don’t like as a “thought terminating cliche” or was it just an “Ill defined term” or was it just because “authoritarianism is ill defined”

    In any case I used it to describe a group of people who are quite literally authoritarian as described here:

    Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

    insomuch as USAID was a tool for exerting soft power by lifting up global communities and spreading goodwill for America through humanitarian effort, I support what it was, I didn’t want to see it gutted. insomuch as China is exerting soft power by building infrastructure and investing in industry, it’d be nice to see the US exert a little soft power against us citizens from time to time.

    Yes, similar goals, differing execution
