Personal story about Christianity/religion 

@LukeAlmighty i've noticed a lot of people go to church SPECIFICALLY for the community, more or less, especially when it comes to non-denominational Christians. they all might have some slightly different beliefs on things and they are a lot more relaxed on that sort of thing, and they gather pretty frequently. at the end of the day though it's still a pastor preaching to them and then asking for their money, though. i guess it becomes more like a club with a president than a religion at that point, but i can't subscribe to that with a clean conscience.

@Nesano @TornadoOfTerror i actually really enjoyed uncharted 1 and 2, 3 had awesome multiplayer but i could tell they were starting to stretch the franchise a little bit.

then druckmann took over for uncharted 4 and it was shit.

i also really like the first last of us, but i understand why it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea because the gameplay does leave something to be desired. i still think it's really good, though, and i hate how much it got fucked over. i like the game, but i hate what it did to naughty dog and honestly the industry as a whole.

jak and crash are good too, though. they definitely represent a better era of naughty dog that they will never return to. i mean damn, uncharted 3 multiplayer was so connected to the community and they had like 4 different thrusting emotes and a lot of funny skins and stuff, but then all that got thrown away in favor of making dogshit for an entirely different audience.

Personal story about Christianity/religion 

@LukeAlmighty yeah don't worry lol, i'm not usually one to get mad over comparisons like that haha. we all experience things differently and being able to relate to each other at any level is good.

well, i won't speak too much about the aftermath because that gets into a completely different can of worms, but long story short it fucked up a lot of stuff with family and friends. i think i kind of took a lot of people with me though lol, after the initial shock of "beard isn't mormon anymore?!" they started to realize that i was still myself, but a lot better off for it. 4/5 of my closest friends, my mom, and my brother left the church a little while after. so thankfully i wasn't completely outcast, but it was definitely rocky there for a while and there are still some recovering relationships.

@BlinkRape "waaaah we didn't want to arm our citizens until they were being killed 😭"

@Evil_Bender @tyler @Matty @Owl @TheWanax the only people that enlist these days are people who have no idea what the fuck to do with their life or people that think they can make money and get free housing/education/health care by doing it, while pushing the risk in the back of their mind.

there's a 17 year old kid at work who is trying to graduate early so he can join the military right when he turns 18, even despite all the shit that's going on right now he doesn't know what else to do and thinks that he'll be able to coast on by and get skills he'll be able to use in another career after he retires (at age 38, according to him, so 20 years in the military good luck kid, hopefully no wars break ou.... wait).

Columbus Day vs Indigenous Peoples Day is such a telling contrast. The former is the commemoration of a European Great Man of History whose genius conquered the horizon; the latter, a commemoration of an undifferentiated brown blob who do nothing but collect welfare and huff gasoline.

It's so unsubtle it could be lifted right out of an Ayn Rand novel.
By forcing people to delay child birth, ZOG has sown the seeds of its own destruction—creating a generation of autistic anime racists.

@TornadoOfTerror @bleedingphoenix it was basically going to be the "factions" mode from the first game but expanded to an entire live service kind of thing. it was going to be shit regardless so i'm glad it's in the dirt.

@skylar @Shlomo yo if those are chocolate coins i'll fight to death for israel

PS. Taiwan belongs to Japan and if not the Japanese, then the indigenous Taiwanese. If the latter, then all Han need to leave.
