"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

[Judy Fenestrator]

it's super frustrating because i have precisely what i want but I don't know how to describe it.

I want a classic American style sketchy outline for Sisyphus.

Apparently I didn't know how to achieve this image either but this one was pretty fuckin great

 

[God's strongest milkman]

I wanted to make a logo for a product I wanted to sell online and I learned very quickly just looking up design terms and art styles and using an AI can get you really really close. and get you a real good example to give an actual artist.

Also unrelated, does anyone know where to find the public gumroad content? like where does he post it after its out of the paywall?

They post to Rumble for sure

I think I've proposed this idea before, but a website that has the full transcript of every episode (transcribed using ai) would be great. Like if you're trying to find a specific episode and only remember there was a segment talking about Wings doing something you can search for 'Wings' to find the episode.

You mean the MATI Transcription Website?

Yes, I'm behind, I know.

From what I read, you're getting 3 "dlcs" worth of content along with all the other crap for about $40. Considering we're talking about paradox, this isn't too bad. If we get Battle for Bosoporos tier focus trees, then it might be worth getting upset over.

They specifically said that's what they were going to do for focuses in places like India, Afghanistan, and other shitholes (7:40 https://youtu.be/vfpjRVIo9X8). Germany, Austria, Hungary, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Belgium congo all will receive actually good and in depth focus trees. Aside from that they are bringing in tons of new features that sound fun (if implemented well)

The Congo getting a focus tree is retarded and it's absolutely going to be Iceland-tier garbage, but it's nice that Belgium is finally getting content. Slovakia would have made more sense for a puppet that gets spat out early on in the war, but Paradox is saving that for a Balkan rework that may or may not (it will) cost money.

Also Japan deserved the rework more than Germany but Germany sells, even though its focus tree is better than France's or America's, both of which are newer than it.

 

[Useful_Mistake]

The Congo getting a focus tree is retarded

Yeah, it's going to be one of those nations nobody plays (like all of Africa and South America (despite new focus trees in the latter (fuck the new Monroe doctrine)). But, hey, Germany has been needing a touch up for years, and Austria has needed a focus tree since forever. Switzerland got one before them.

 

[Sneedmiser]

Switzerland got one before them.

I forget that Switzerland has one because, unlike South America that ruins campaigns by doing retarded shit even with historical on, the AI just sits on its hands unless you decide to do Operation Tannenbaum.

I'd put money down on the next DLC being a Japan/China rework that includes a piddly little shared Philippines/British Malaya/Indonesia focus trees, but I haven't spent money on paradox since CK3 came out.

In my area it’s mostly Whites, Hispanics and the occasional Arab that drives them.
Luckily the person who did the burn outs on the pride road wasn’t a pajeet

Based. It's actually astonishing how the street shitters and muslims here bend a knee to the LGBT shit and don't openly attack it.

Or if they do the media hides it.

 

[Dicksmash Turbofist]

To elaborate, I meant outsourcing the work which resuled in shitty trees that are a nightmare to navigate (except Bulgaria). Fuck the Turkish focus tree.

Why bother with an afghan expansion, the goat fuckers were doing nothing the entire war because they knew any attack on the soviets would be futile. Honestly I want a rework for china or any of the other British colonies who played a significant role in the war.

 

[Dicksmash Turbofist]

Yeah, it's going to be one of those nations nobody plays (like all of Africa and South America (despite new focus trees in the latter (fuck the new Monroe doctrine)).

I must admit, some of the most engaging and fun gameplay came from going for the achievements in South America and Ethiopia. By Blood Alone is one of my favorite expansions next to No Step Back.

The people want to know Null's take on this gentleman.

This guy threatened his parents and was in a police standoff back in 2014 btw:

GROSS! Hide that...thing behind a spoiler tag or something. Please, I beg of you.

With regard to rape penalties, a large reason it doesn't carry similar sentencing to murder is that most rapes don't end in murder and if the two crimes were punished in the same way, there's not much reason not to kill the victim too because it makes covering things up easier and you're now down a witness, often the most important one. This applies to kidnapping as well.

Then why tf Danny Masterson serving life in prison for like 2 rapes, but actual killers get out on parole? That 70's Show was bad, but not that bad.

With regard to rape penalties

If you really want to go down a cynical path: From a "value lost --> punishment or compensation/solution" perspective, the government don't see it as a "big deal", hence not worth going after.

• Got pregnant? - Day after pill or an abortion. (Government pays for it anyways + antinatalists can now use this as an pro abotion talking point)
• Got an STD? - You can live with it thanks to medications. (Some pharmaceutical company now earns money from it).
• Got traumatised? - Here is antidepressants and a therapist. (Now you got a bunch of new "therapy" jobs to make the economy go around even more)
• You want to see justice? - Jails are full and it's better to keep the perpetrator working so he can pay taxes for all the said things above. (We are not sacrificing more tax money to keep someone in a facitly with nothing in return, just because of you experiencing a few minutes of "unwilling dick")

You might call me skitzo, but I truelly believe that there are law makers who are unironically thinking along these lines. There is much more effort in chasing tax evaders, than some rapists since they don't do as much damage to the system. If you do this from an "risk analysis" perspective, you could reduce the situation from where these things occur the most, which the governments (at least in the West) seems to optimize instead.

A very public trial must be sentenced to "what looks good" in the public eye, so people don't get too demoralized to what is going on. Look at Harvey Weinstein, he got sentenced, but if we are being honest here: you know nothing really changed in how Hollywood works.

Could just shoot him but I guess if he remains active he is recruiting more customers so probably better if he lives

The dirty secret is there actually isn’t as much rape as everyone thinks there is - once you factor out regretsex.

True rape rape (victim doesn’t know attacker, actual violent rape not a bar date gone sexual) should be punished instantly by quartering.
