When it comes to protesting like this I don’t really give a shit if someone paints over parts of a building. But the books themselves? That’s just fucked up. I understand they are trying to get people pissed over this but this is entirely the wrong way to do it. All this will do is make everyone pissed off at you instead. I’d say a good rule of thumb for protest graffiti is whether or not it can still be used after it’s been covered in paint. Graffiti on a wall doesn’t make the wall unusable. But if someone put graffiti on the windshield of my car I’d be so pissed off I wouldn’t give two shits about the message.

We’re all kids. We just have responsibility now so we have to pretend we don’t want to sit around and play with Legos all day. None of us have “figured it out” and the only reason it seemed like adults knew what they were doing when we were kids was because adults were old enough to have fucked everything up at least once.

The best part about late stage capitalism is that all the worst people have all the money to do whatever the hell they want.

The snow golem.

You’re goddamn right I do.

It’s crazy how fatal falls can be for ANYONE. Seriously. I’ve seen people fall off a 4 foot ladder and have it be fatal. Or slip on ice. Or just trip on something. I’m also a kinda tall clumsy person so I think about this a lot too. Plus I’ve taken OSHA classes on fall protection which only made it worse. :)

This is a very common thing outside the bubble that is the US. In fact, before COVID it was totally normal to see people wearing masks when they were sick in public places. A little strange to see, but still normal and nobody really cared. People didn’t give two shits back then versus now where they stick out like a sore thumb. Before you’d see someone wearing a mask and think “oh, they might be sick” and move on with your life before you even had a chance to put it into your long term memory. It’s not that it’s weird to wear a mask. It’s that everyone forgot that it used to not be weird at all. The fact that they are getting judged in the first place would seem completely ridiculous 5 years ago.

The fact that there is a stigma in the first place is incredibly silly. Masks are a great tool to prevent getting others sick. It’s like if someone made fun of you for using a screwdriver instead of doing it by hand.

I wear one when I’m sick. Outside of places like the United States it’s actually very common to wear masks when you are sick. There used to not be a stigma about masks even in the US before COVID. This is because masks were never meant to be used as a way to prevent getting sick but as a way to not get others sick, therefore slowing the spread of disease. Somewhere over the past few years the lines got crossed and everyone started calling masks bullshit because they misinterpreted the actual use for them. Doctors don’t wear masks because they don’t want to get sick. They wear them so they don’t get their patients sick.

I wish Valve had some sort of monetary incentive to fix this. If this happened to the cash cow that is Counter Strike this would have been fixed already. It’s sad to see this going on especially with the resurgence TF2 has been having lately.

Watched the first season before Amazon added ads to their streaming. It was pretty decent. Not decent enough to watch ads or pay more.

“hey christians! do you sin? now you can buy your way out of hell!”

What’s the fucking point of court if the worst corporations don’t even have to show up? That’s just fucking stupid.

Just look up Sam Altman on job replacement my dude. He doesn’t give a single fuck about anyone and just keeps going for the sake of progress. All he does is avoid questions and use buzzwords just like the rest of them. He sounds like Elon Musk 10 years ago before he stopped trying to hide the crazy.

You should watch some of the interviews with these non profits. They sound like cartoon super villains.

Two morally bankrupt companies pooling their resources to make the most controversial and often shady tech we’ve seen in years. What could go wrong?

I mean, every company making AI these days is morally bankrupt. It’s just the idea of any of them teaming up in the first place that gives me a bad feeling.

This time last year I was 29 years old, had no house, $7,000 of credit card debt, and made $21 an hour.

Right now I’m 30 years old, I have no house, $7,000 of credit card debt, and make $21 an hour.

Of course I’m unsatisfied. Because I know my hard work doesn’t pay off and all I’m doing is existing with no money or time left over for myself. I don’t give a single fuck about my job at this point besides doing the bare minimum. Which is pretty sad because I used to actually enjoy my job and would work as hard as I could.

I get this all the time because I tend to binge games over weekends when I got nothing else going on. I’ll give two examples that I remember the most.

One of the most prolific is Factorio. Seeing conveyor belts everywhere I go. Whether I’m awake or about to fall asleep I just constantly see conveyor belts as I solve non existent problems with the efficiency of said conveyor belts.

The weirdest was after Outer Wilds. I binged it for about 12 hours straight one day. You spend a lot of time orbiting around planets and landing on them. After I was done I was walking around my apartment and felt like I was “orbiting” a spaceship around my apartment. It felt super weird to walk. Felt like the floor was the surface of a planet and my head was a spaceship flying miles above it trying to land.

Not exactly. But if you disagree with their decision you’re automatically antisemitic.

Honestly, as a dude, I’m 100% down for male birth control. Can’t wait.
