Putting ideology ("voting legitimizes the illegitimate authority") over pragmatism is goofy IMO. Like, whether you view the state as legitimate or not, in the here-and-now it exists and has power, giving up your influence because you don't like it is counterproductive.

Also this post reeks of Sovereign Citizen nonsense, "I do not consent to being ruled" okay well you are, might as well have a say in the rules.

More edge than point.

In c/greentext, it doesn't matter if the post is a greentext? "This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon"

This doesn't even tell a story, it's just a random 4chan thread.

Not a greentext

No, you missed the point.

I know what greentexts are, just because I think yours is low effort slop doesn't mean I need it explained.

A) 4Chan isn't dead

B) Greentexts are a part of imageboard culture in general

is the date cropped because it's from today? because it seems like you went looking for the first post with greentext for the purpose of submitting anything

I really don’t see this as a negative strawman

All strawmen are negative, if a person (or their argument) needs to be caricatured to be attacked, it shouldn't be attacked. If it can be attacked and you're just caricaturing for fun, then you're diluting the argument and shouldn't.

Anyone using the word Obongo to refer to Obama does not make that distinction

idk, that's a strawman. Obongo is often just used as a funny word because it's 4chan

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sure, that's plausible, but that's also just 4chan lingo.

 
 

Humble changed their pricing model this year, so it's my last year subscribing, so I want to use a little more discretion and skip some months because they do have "tent poles" that interest me sometimes. This month the tent pole is Persona 5, which I hear is good, but I still have Persona 4 on my backlog and it doesn't interest me too much.

Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.

Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.
