Take off your pants, and use the shit to write an apology letter on the wall… Then leave the house with no pants on, clutching the poop. Remember to put dots of shit behind you just in case you get lost on your way home, or if that hot person at the party wants to follow you home. Your sent is strong, I’m quite sure someone will be motivated enough to follow the obvious signs of seduction you’re dripping.

Mail in votes made illegal, especially in blue states!

Goblin name too.

The State Premier for NSW, Chris Minns is very happily in bed with rightwing Israeli forces. Importing foreign state actors (last month is was a bunch of IDF athletes).

This is because whilst being from the nominally leftwing Labor party, he’s from its rightwing faction.

Some posters on Lemmy periodically try to manufacture a meme/viral moment. But rather than expressing something of the communities character, or being interesting it’s just a “this week we’re posting bananas” type shit.

It’s like when a corporation wants to get in the news but isn’t creative or in touch enough.

The manufactured “har har Lemmy is trying to meme” crap just makes me close the app and walk away.

Nah, he’s pretty easy to ignore once you accept he’s a buffoon… And the culmination of American history. Reagan, Nixon, and Bush had aspects of Trump.

He’s more like a court jester who has shit himself, and refuses to admit it.

I don’t think that’s the stigma in question. It’s “China makes bad quality products” not " china is an existential threat."

So yeah, this kind of proves my point, the “made in china = crappy products” stigma doesn’t really exist any more, to the point people don’t know what it was.

66% of Australians believe in man made climate change.

I don’t think the “made in china” stigma exists anymore.

1997

Yeah, but the US has dementia so whatever it says can be ignored.

2026: Kill billionaires.

That’s kind of the point of Poe’s law…

It was a weak sense of parody. Like what are they parodying? That drug and fast food ads exist? We live in an age of Trumpism… People wearing gold diapers… You think I’m flinch at ads for drugs or meat?

There’s no play or even pushing of limits there. There was no spice to it.

That’s funny because what’s human can change from culture to culture. Still globalization has been changing that… Making a more universal culture via the Internet.

Yeah, and there’s some swamp area stuff in this clip - but I don’t think that’s a very wide net of parody.

I think you’re right. It will be A+ gameplay and detail. Switching between feelings of tension, panic, and business. And no doubt there’s cops to escape.

Watch Dogs had some of that. It didn’t sell it though. GTA5 exploded in popularity because the media were baited into talking about it, GTA6 feels like a mature game in a genre defined by GTA5. That fine, enough for most people. Cops and Robbers is a fun enough genre for most people.

Isn’t that the premise of every cop/drug movie ever?

I kind of expected a game where you shifted between comedic versions of the current cast of social characters there are in American society today.

Parodying all sides of poverty/wealth, woke and Nazis, Q-pilled Grandmas with guns, Tech Billionaires and fascists, gen-Z and gen Alpha and aging millennials… Hit us all up and make fun of it all.

I’m betting there’s no ICE deportations, flock cameras, or AI bros in the script.

Rockstar used to be a British company parodying American extremism… But they moved the whole company to LA. Now they’re an American company, contributing to America’s corporate culture and politics. That’s probably why this feels undercooked.

Yes, the drug one cut off early… The fast food one felt like society has already passed that level of marketing. Like, if it was on TV today I would jusr accept it as a marketing campaign.

People IRL know where meat comes from. It wasn’t like “hunt your own burger” - or “Now with the special cannibal beef”… It was Poe’s law, nothing signalling extreme parody.

…they just felt like, ads. More like a simulation of what some executive thought was in GTA5, rather than someone moving with it.

From the clip GTA6 feels like Reacher, the video game.
