DoctaMario

I think it's a combination of the film not being catered to them and the movie being unabashed about what it is more than likely.  The critics are in the dark for the most and this movie helps very little to ease them in to anything so they don't understand and it frustrates them.  I actually just finished watching it for the 2nd time tonight and I still loved the movie just about as much as I did the first time watching it.  The plot is simple and you just let the movie whisk you away without having to think too hard on anything.  It's not perfect but I gotta say I wish the Sonic movies were closer to how this Mario movie was...they did SO much right with it.

i bugged dead cells today. i called out the cat and serenade sword skill at the same time at the cell shop between levels. and it triggers a "cutscene" but i jumped mid air when i called the cat out and it froze my game.
also, if u have the cat on your shoulder while wearing invisible amulet the cat turns invisible too on your shoulder. interesting.
ps
kings sceptre is really good against hand of the king boss. he managed to hit me only once while i pogo stick on his ass.

Thousands of people complain to Uber about tip-baiting.
Uber: 🤷🏻‍♂️Nothing we can do!
Uber CEO gets tip baited.
Uber: 🤔Hmm we gotta fix this!

I think a lot of the funding is coming from organizations tied to the pharmaceutical industry who see HRT, gender reassignment surgeries and other trans adjacent surgeries and medical tech as the next big profit frontier.
 
This article has some information about who is funding a some of these initiatives. JB Pritzker, who is the governor of Illinois and who has a trans sibling, his family owns a lot of stake in companies doing trans-related medical research and technology. From the article:
 
 

I was very effeminate presenting from about 16 to 26. not necessarily doing drag but pretty androgynous (more in line with rock stars like Bowie and Prince than Rupaul), never once did I consider that I was a woman or even wanted to be one. Many gay men and women are like this. Hell many straight men and women enjoyed and presented with androgynous aesthetics and mindsets.

What's going on now sadly could be seen from one lens as an extreme form of conversion therapy, where young impressionable and confused gay, bi, and lesbian kids (who probably don't feel comfortable in their skin because EVERYONE DID NOT FEEL SECURE IN THEIR SKIN AT THAT AGE!!!) are being subjected to the wrong conclusions and therefore going along with the wrong decisions.

I think in a few years there will be a huge backlash and thousands of detrans cases emerging.

An important question to ask is who and why is this being pushed so loudly? Who is funding this ideology because more than 90% of the gays and lesbians in my life do not agree with this. We didn't even go to Pride last year because of how stupid it has become with all these bandwagoners and KIDS.

Well there is a distinction that needs to be made.

Traditionally, the LGBT formed as it was because heterosexual society made no distinction between trans men/women and LGB, we were pooled together and treated equally shit. So our fight for freedom was one. This was all fine and dandy until about 6-8 years ago the movement was pretty much hijacked IMO by the QIA+ becoming the LGBTQIA+ all of sudden and flooded media with the Trans and Gender ideology (the stuff with 100 genders and pronouns).

Growing up if you were a feminine guy you were just that, and being a tomboy just meant that for girls. These are personality/character traits. So the way all of this was suddenly repackaged and sold to gen Z was nothing short of shocking.

This is when the bandwagon "trans kids" started showing up, they are predominantly middle-upper class white girls who self-identify as Trans (without a clinical diagnosis mind you). When once upon a time being Trans quite literally implied transitioning between the binary, now it has become a type of Pokémon to be collected by a bored and idle generation. 
 
This entire thing seems to be beginning to wind down a bit due to backlashes from all sides but it has been a great disservice to LGBT people from previous generations who wanted nothing more than to stand side by side with heterosexuals with pride instead of shame.
 
What's worse is that this thing has also turned the suffering of actual Transsexuals (people who have the chronic mental condition known as gender dysmorphia) into a joke on display.

Oh man...he really brought this up unironically?  Oooooooo....

When you tell an entire room you didn't pay attention to the movie. 

Bullshit. If you were part of the LGBT you would know that we don’t walk away… We sashay away.
 
These bandwagon homos are the problem. Smh

You don't like cats?

MEME MONDAY! Bean edition! 
 

Company hit me with the "We wish you the best in your future endeavors"  WWE line when I quit. Nice 🤣

Day 1 of training to be a VIP tour guide for the mouse. Day 1 of 9 we'll see how I do. 

Started a new dev project that I'm really gonna try with cos I think I might have something if it all goes to plan. It doesn't have a name yet but it's a survival horror RPG heavily inspired by Suspiria, The Beyond, the Giallo genre,  ResEvil, Punch Out and Undertale. Getting more of a grip on things with programming and how Godot works in general and it's a lot of fun. Lot's of placeholder stuff and things not even implemented but it's going pretty well and I'm hoping I can have a demo/prologue out by halloween.
 
 

R.Kelly left a void.

He should become a Cardinal or a Bishop. He'd fit right in with the Catholics.  🤡

Generally blowing up at someone in the professional world as you exit will almost always come back and bite you in the ass.

The urge is STRONG to really tell them what I think about how I was treated during the last incident, buy yea, I may have to cross them again someday, its not so much being professional as being pragmatic

Well, today is the day I give my two week notice and tell my old company to go fuck themselves. (Im gonna be civil tho, don't wanna burn any bridges, but the thought definitely crossed my mind)🤣

I appreciate all of you.

Yup. And the upper middle class/rich kid to "socialist" pipeline is hilariously well populated

Tbh mine spent a good bit of time plugged in because the rechargeable batteries I used for it got chewed up fairly quick.
 
I miss that old GameBoy, even though there's no real reason I should. The idea of being able to play games on the go like that was fucking awesome back in the day.
