  • i’ll spell it out really slow like for ya if it’ll help.

    israel’s treatment of the palestinian people is that of an ethnic cleansing.

    they are removing their heritage sites.

    flooding their farmlands during winter so they’re fucked in the spring.

    constantly boxing in all palestinians that live in any of the palestinian territories that still exist.

    shooting palestinian women, children

    shooting journalists and medics that choose to help or report on the situation.

    bulldozing their land and homes to make room for new israeli settlers that will happily steal that land from the palestinians.

    responding with disproportionate force after palestinians are goaded into defending themselves. one molotov should not equal days of missile strikes.

    they have consistently “accidentally” targeted school buildings and hospitals for missile strikes during disproportionate responses.

    basically all of these actions amount to ethnic cleansing, which is a facet of genocide.

    israel’s M.O. is to act like nazi lite, then when the world takes notice and outrage occurs, they back off. during that time, they lobby the US government and pull strings and make threats.

    and if you criticize israel at all for their behavior on the world stage? well then you’re just a fucking antisemite, and they’ll be quick to call it that.

    they spend some of the most money of any world government using social media teams to protect their country’s interests.

    you’re looking at smarter nazis with better PR and lots of money.




  • bethesda announces game concept.

    people freak.

    bethesda announces game. 

    people hype.

    bethesda starts hyping the game.

    people go fucking nuts hyping the game as a result. their social media team plants those seeds to make it look organic.

    a year or more of speculation occurs.

    todd howard being his little schmuck self comes out and boasts about their new game.

    people lose their god damn minds.

    whispers of shitty gameplay start occurring closer to launch.

    the masses tell those people to fuck off how could they know, dishonest review etc etc.

    the big names in game reviews all review it and give it out of the park amazing reviews.

    people go batshit crazy. people are out in the streets killing their parents for a chance at the new bethesda god game.

    the game is released and is somewhat playable but jesus fuck is it lacking, it’s buggy, and every character looks like they’ve been updated from skyrim graphics of yore. the story sucks. the game play is empty but goddamn is there a lot to explore.

    everyone rushes in like a madman.

    everyone realizes the gameplay sucks.

    people start bitching.

    others say “oh don’t worry, DLC and user created mods will fill the game out nicely.”

    years pass.

    the unpaid modding community pours their heart and soul into making the game not fucking suck.

    after all the DLC has come out (all with mostly positive or mixed reviews on steam) the game will go dark for a year or so.

    todd howard wakes from his capitalist vampire coma needing fresh life force. the blood money of his unsuspecting idiot fans.

    todd howard makes it into the office and says we could make a new game or we can milk this game for the next decade and a half. quick come up with names to rerelease the game under. game of the year edition. complete edition. master edition. elite edition. remastered. remastered complete. anything works!

    over the course of the next three decades, todd howard is fed the blood of bethesda’s fan base.

    he is swollen, like a fat tick upon his harkonen throne, waiting to burst.

    “the people. they call for a NEW game”, he says, a devilish sneer contorts his face.

    and the cycle continues.

    and these fucking idiots. every goddamn time.







  • i worked for a hybrid hosting and cloud provider that was partnered with Electronic Arts for the SimCity reboot.

    well half way through they decided our cloud wasn’t worth it, and moved providers. but no one bothered to tell all the outsourced foreign developers that they were on a new provider architecture.

    all the shit storm fail launch of SimCity was because of extremely shitty code that was meant to work on one cloud and didn’t really work on another. but they assumed hurr hurr all server same.

    so you guys got that shit launch and i knew exactly why and couldn’t say a damn thing for YEARS
