  • Fascists co-opt other groups and movements constantly because fascists don’t create, they only take and destroy. But hydro homies is well past it’s incredibly edgy start and is now just the liquids equivalent of Linux users - never shutting up about how superior they are for doing a minor thing.

    Fascists definitely love the in group-ness of it, but there’s no “only soda” group that’s fighting them and therefore no one to point to as an “other” to forward fascist ideals. Hydro homies is extremely low on the priority for the fascist pipeline. They are incredibly obnoxious when they leak out though.

    Also, I vote the potential only sodas group to be called the “soda jerks”









  • Aight, I’m a modern Nintendo hater, but the DS lite was so good. It had a great games library, an excellent layout that didn’t cramp my hands as a child or an adult, and a solid touch screen. Peer to peer networking was so nice in an era where you very rarely had internet anywhere and it was never fast enough for gaming.

    I think I must’ve spent hours in pitcochat alone. Plus, my almost 20 year old DS lite still works. I used it to play some of the Layton games just recently! I did manage to break one, but that was cause my mother put some obnoxiously large case on it that made it impossible to play anything. Tried ripping it off and tore the sections in half


  • I was just discussing with a friend of mine how we’re rapidly approaching the dead internet. At some point, many websites will likely just be chat bots talking to other chat bots, which then gets used to train further chat bots. Human made content is already becoming harder and harder to find on algorithm heavy websites like Reddit and facebooks suite of sites. The bots can easily outpace any algorithmic changes they might make to help deter them, but my fb using family members all constantly block those weird Jesus accounts and they still show up constantly






  • Yeah, desensitizing people to violence is the original argument. It’s always “if they’re willing to shoot people in video games, why not real life!?” Crap.

    It’s been disproven so often that my shitty little uni assigned that research to first year psych students. It’s not a thing. Media is a reflection of society, not society itself. Violent societies like violent media. Violent media doesn’t create violent societies. Propaganda based media can, but no one’s committing murders cause they saw Knives Out or played COD 23
