I think something people are missing when thinking less work overall will happen is that this gives opportunities for new job openings for at least part time (if not just more full time position) people to fill in the gaps, or the people already working will just get paid much better. Both are wins imo

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Do… do you think the people who actually make the game get royalties or something? Bc once the game is made that’s it for them lol

I typically feel like people like this aren’t dumb, they’re just so incredibly distrustful of authority figures like teachers or scientists or the government that on some level they reject reality and when videos “kinda make sense” or “have some points” about shit we all know is fake, it gives them the ability to choose what they think is correct and because they’re already rejecting what they’re being told is real by people they don’t trust it’s really easy to let conspiracies fill in the gap of how it works

Nobody builds the spaceship. Nobody I know has ever built the ship, unless they were playing the save our ships mod (I think that’s the mod name IDK I don’t use that one) but then that’s not end game

I just accepted that I will only ever lose and it’s fine

There’s this one McDonald’s on this busy road where we live and I jokingly started calling the right lane the “McDonald’s lane” because so many cars in that lane were always turning in. I realized earlier this week that these days most cars drive past instead.

We’re just money cattle

You don’t even know the half of it, he played this MUD I was really into, his character’s name was Vanmar, everyone hated him. Maybe a year or so before the pharmacy story broke he got perma banned from the game (oh god I’m gonna skim over a lot here, bear with me) he bought another player’s super high skill character for iirc around 5k, went around bullying people who he couldn’t take in pvp beforehand, then got the permanent ban for all of his accounts by forcibly role-playing a blowjob in a public area (a boat I think) on some other dudes character.

That was his second perma ban, he bought his way out of the first one, I don’t recall how the first one came about.

Anyway, total twat. If you go deep in a search engine for Vanmar and DragonRealms you might find more info buried, a lot of its been lost to time and he bought one of the popular player forums around the game and locked it up so all that info is just lost.

Cis woman here, I not only have never been afraid of the possibility that a man might enter the woman’s bathroom, if I ever encountered a man in the woman’s bathroom I’d just assume they accidentally went in the wrong one or maybe it was a dad taking his daughter in or something similarly innocuous.

I really hope all trans women can feel safe one day entering the women’s room (and trans men with the men’s room) so they can use it in peace. Bathroom policers can fuck all the way off.

When do we get to blame the shit candidate who lost instead? Bernie didn’t ignore and not campaign in multiple states because he thought they were in the bag, that was Hillary. Bernie didn’t conspire with the dnc to put up the worse polling candidate because it was “their turn”, that was Hillary. Bernie supporters didn’t say “we don’t need your vote” to the progressive voters, those were Hillary supporters.

This shit makes me want to write Bernie in instead of holding my nose and voting for Biden like I did last time.

It was a lot of stuff. I’m still mad about it. Of the top of my head: they very quickly got rid of polling locations in places he was polling high in multiple states after they realized he was doing well and people were standing in line to vote for over 8 hours, they lied about stupid shit like the fake chair throwing thing they made up to make it sound like anyone on his side were violent, they ignored the caucus rules in Nevada where he clearly won based on video at the time, there was more, but it’s been a long time and this are just a few examples that cross my mind on occasion

There have been a handful of times where I wish I had just written it down because I see the “I never saw/ heard about this” line often enough.

The DNC admitted collision in court, what else do you need lol

It’s really weird to me that you write just like Jesse talks on the No Till Growers youtube channel

My mom died on the 24th, so Christmas was pretty shit

I’m not so sure, I saw this short the other day of this Gen z woman with a caption that said something like “you can tell gen z from millennial by the rise of their jeans” with her wearing mid rise (labeled low) and high rise jeans, and the comments were full of millennial women pointing out that in the 90s the low rise was like way way way low (which they were) or that millennial wore low rise first, or that it was a bad style or whatever input they felt they needed to give

And I realized this Gen z girl doesn’t care about any of this, and is actually quite clever, she’s just effectively gotten an insane amount of engagement and is positioning herself as an influencer because much of my generation are idiots and are commenting and reacting on her stuff over the rise of pants

Some I haven’t seen after scrolling for a while

Maangchi - she made me fall in love with Korean food

Future Canoe - only if you want radioactive chicken

North of the Border - umm clay art. Just watched reverse centaur, it was a thing indeed

Unresolved Textual Tension - book reviews, I’m here for Will’s sass but Maria and Katie are good too

Ordinary Sausage - actually extraordinary

John Maclean - I wish I was as pretty as he is

I’m probably missing somebody but this is a good weird list

Republicans have been wild for a long time, these days they’re rabid

Wasn’t the idea and origin story of Jesus stolen from previous texts and religions lol

There is no way rich people are less happy than the average poor person bar mental health conditions, they may have stressors like a demanding job, but that is nothing compared to whether or not you’ll lose everything if you get too sick, or whether you can pay the bills because you didn’t get enough hours at one of your jobs, or if you have enough food to feed your family. Wealth gives so much more opportunity to fulfill desires and become happy.

Have you ever been actually poor? Have you ever been homeless or lived in a shelter? I can’t help but feel like your words may be that of privilege.

“Being rich is not good” is a very naive take. Being rich means less stress and more opportunities.

I’m not gonna vote for anyone because I’m way too left to agree with a lot of their politics, I’m just gonna vote against Trump. It doesn’t matter who is running against him, I’m not letting that dipshit win again. Or the republican party in general at this point, they’ve gotten too crazy.

Centrist City here I plod

Him eating his booger on the debate stage still makes me gag uncontrollably if I see the clip, and if it pops into my head sometimes I’ll start gagging, which is pretty much every time I see his name

There are very few things that make me gag in disgust, this one gets me every time
