Please do not perceive me.
You know nothing about my life. Nor, apparently, the lives of your neighbors who suffer beside you. To be this ignorant is a great privelege. I hope for your sake you never need to learn about the reality of the world around you, because when it comes knocking, it will not come quietly.
I am quite certain they would be happy to hear that their friends and family back home continued to live on past them.
Climate change is the sort of existential threat that will literally kill every single person you’ve ever met. It is not the same. If I could volunteer to give my own life to reverse catastrophic climate change it wouldn’t even be a question. But no matter how many of us go and die about it we are now past the point where we can make a difference. The ice caps are in runaway melt loops. This is now a self perpetuating problem that cannot be solved without some new major scientific breakthrough. Habitable portions of the earth are going to shrink to single digit percentages of what we have right now, over the next couple hundred years. We can no longer stop this from happening, and it all happened because some of the very worst parts of humanity decided they needed a few extra thousand dollars every year.
Housing prices? That’s your argument? That’s your bleak outlook?
Can’t afford a home? That means you’re homeless. That’s a crime now. To the prison work camp you go, chop chop.
Dude, up until relatively recently you couldn’t have a baby without it dying or dying yourself.
Still can’t in a lot of places. Not to mention, in America, assuming you both survive you’re now $50k in medical debt for the privelege of reproducing.
Common cold? Deceased.
People still die from pneumonia daily.
There are people alive today who are being murdered because their existence maddens someone and your argument is that your housing costs have gone up.
Two problems can exist at once.
Get some perspective. Your life isn’t that bad.
My friends and family and coworkers are the ones being threatened with murder because their existence maddens someone. Get some perspective.
Yeah this is spot on. Tech literacy is at an all time low, today’s kids and young adults are having to be taught during work orientation what a file browser is now.
People who are currently between the ages of 30 and 60 are the generation that learned how to use their technology effectively. Older than that and you’re likely to be the “clueless boomer” trope, younger than that and you’re likely to be a tablet baby.
Not to mention that in my experience at least, public school teachers cared about basically every single petty problem except for the ones that would have actually benefitted anyone. You’ve been punched straight in the face every single day for two years by the same bully? I sleep. One of the girls wore shorts this morning and has visible knees? Get sent straight home immediately. Do not pass Go. This is a sin that cannot be tolerated.
All that to say, this story is definitely made up but there are places in America today where it could happen 100% as written.
You could install Mint on your mother’s computer and don’t tell her, and she’d probably still think she was using Windows until it came time to install new software. Linux For Normies has come a long way, especially recently. It could be ready for mass adoption very soon, if not already.
Been seeing some of that as well, so I looked it up myself. The actual text of the EULA states:
"You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.”
That’s a brick. They haven’t actually done it to anyone yet, but they’ve reserved their rights.
So I may shed my mortal flesh and exist as a shadow being upon the tapestry of the mind of another?
Sure yeah, I’m down
Same, and I know this is true and not just me being crazy because I’ve heard it rather than felt it when my phone is sitting on my desk.
Love my guy George. Listening to Cardboard Castles got me through a really rough time in my life and I don’t expect to ever be able to repay it. Least I can do is to spread the word.
Braindead former humans wander the land aimlessly and cause huge problems for everyone else.
They’re the same picture
That’s essentially how they wrote the song, so yeah! I can see it. I’d watch this.
Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse
For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think
I don’t like his movies but I respect his hustle. He has enough money to approach an agent and tell them “I want to make this movie, I want to cast all my friends in it, and I want my character to walk away with a hot date at the end” and the agent just says okay.
They’re pretty much all the same movie with different names on them. But it’s pretty clear that everyone involved in those movies was just having a great time making them.

He sent his co-stars dead animals and condoms as “gifts”
Here’s my entire credit card and I’m bringing my steel-toes
I hope someone came and removed the litter.
Alright fair point on the nitpick. I meant that less as an attack on Rimworld and more of an expression of respect to Dwarf Fortress. That’s where that load-bearing “but” came in to play. Point taken though. I have great respect for both games and the developers of them. I admit I am on Team Dwarf if we come to blows though, I played that one first and it is, to date, one of the most genuinely incredible pieces of software I’ve ever encountered.
Absolutely no hate for Rimworld though. It’s a good game through and through.
Man I wish I could like Isaac like that. I’m not good at it at all. Every time I try to play the game it turns into an angry sweat fest as I take tons of stupid avoidable damage and don’t find any fucking keys for the third floor in a row
I’ve watched a thousand hours of Northernlion and I could probably tell you every item in the game on sight but my sticky notes look like sad trash.
Don’t even get me started on the challenges, I fear that list, but I want half those unlocks to get all my other unlocks.
Valve recently released the source code so that’s probably really easy to do now
I want to see Atlus mop the floor with Nintendo over this because Shin Megami Tensei had all these features 6 years before the first Pokémon game ever existed.
