They've been going around, as everyone has surely seen by now, so I decided to make a quick rough draft for Rex. Might touch it up in the future, who knows.

Warframe is the type of game that allows you to play as a flying pregnant woman capable of producing destruction equivalent to that of a Tsar Nuke and I think that’s beautiful.

this happens with ADHD too if you're smart enough to overcome studying you become an undiagnosed adult and crash and burn

yes, asian and african rivers produce 95% of ocean plastic but nobody asks where the plastic comes from.

plastic recycling is a scam. always has been.
the industry knew since 1974 it “cant be justified economically”

they funded the recycling campaigns anyway because the alternative was banning plastic.

only 5-6% of US plastic actually gets recycled and europe isnt better.
the EU exports 1.1 million tonnes of plastic waste per year, 3 million kg leaving every single day.
31% goes to turkey, 16% to malaysia, 13% to indonesia, all labeled “recyclable”

most plastics cant even be recycled to begin with (thousands of types, different chemical properties). and for the few that can, the output is lower quality and more toxic than virgin plastic.
you literally degrade the material each cycle until its worthless.

so what happens to the other 95%?
western countries ship it to southeast asia and africa under the label “recycling exports” with the receiving countries promising to recycle it in their stead for a price, but those countries dont have facilities either. so they burn it or dump it in rivers.

every 20 minutes, a 10-tonne truckload of plastic enters the ocean in indonesia alone.
it may look like indonesians pollute more but that’s because we ship them our garbage and they have no infrastructure to handle it.

china used to absorb it all. when they banned imports in 2018, the west just redirected to countries with weaker regulations. malaysia, vietnam, philippines. the map below shows the result.

you sort your trash so you feel like youre helping, the plastic goes on a boat, gets burned in a village without emissions controls, poisons their air and water, flows into their rivers, enters the ocean, and in your food and water.
you feel good about the plastic you recycled and never think about it again but you end up eating it anyway.

then we ban straws and plastic bags and call it environmentalism

Mustelids are funny because you'll be looking at the cutest little bouncy guy only to find out it kills prey 10x its size in the most fucked up ways possible.

tbh part of why I hated hanging out with other boys as a kid was cause you notice this behavior in almost everything they do lol

You are not "on the right side of history."

You are on the side that always says the same thing, in every century, with a different flag.

"Indians = savages.
Settlers = civilization."

"Vietnamese = gooks.
America = liberators."

"Algerians = terrorists.
France = democracy."

"Blacks = criminals.
America = order."

Now you recycle the script:

"Palestine = terror.
Israel = freedom."

You didn’t invent this.

You are just the latest man cheering for whoever holds the gun.

You scream "Palestine = terror, murder and violence"

While the side you worship drops 2,000 pound bombs on refugee camps, starves children, flattens schools and hospitals, and snipes medics and journalists.

You call that "freedom, culture and democracy" because empire trained you to believe that as long as the victims are Arab, the word "terror" only points one way.

You say "Fuck Palestine" like you are brave.

You are not brave.

Bravery is a boy in Gaza digging his sister out of the rubble with his bare hands.

Bravery is a doctor operating in a tent with no anesthesia.

Bravery is a mother who buries half her family and still says "we are not leaving."

Bravery is standing with the oppressed, not cheering for the ones who cage them.

Bravery is calling a crime a crime even when your allies commit it.

Bravery is letting truth break the propaganda you were raised on.

You are not on the right side of history.

You are the kind of man history buries in a footnote under "those who cheered."

And when this is all over, and the photos of the dead are in museums, and children learn the word "Nakba" the way they learned "apartheid" and "Jim Crow,"

No one will quote your little tantrum.

They will look at the rubble, the mass graves, the satellite images of erased neighborhoods,

And they will know exactly who was Palestine

And who was terror.

Because history always remembers the victims.

It never remembers the cowards who celebrated their death.

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A CHECKMARK!? This is the most based dev team of all time; please vote for them in every category they're nominated in (most nominations by far, by the way 🤪🥰). I admittedly hate turn-based gameplay, even in E33, and they still deserve all of it anyway.

WHAT

[Rerum Genetrix @JesHumphries]

I need it to be known that I viscerally despise MTG and all TCGs to an incomprehensible degree. They're basically just NFTs, and I think everyone who likes them is an inherently inferior being (for most, only by an infinitesimal amount, but still).
