Ancient people had buff ankles holy hell

Seizing the means of stealing your heart 💐

Yay lobbying! /s

Not spam.

“Too many poor smart people are fucking, and that means the populace is harder to control” is what eugenics boils down to.

Non-conformity is a threat.

I had to work with windows last night and it was repeatedly deleting programs against my consent no matter what antivirus settings I tried to turn off (“quarantining” Produkey, off of my flash drive not even the drive windows was installed on) so yes. Fuck that guy and burn his house down 😁

Isn’t part of the Kickstarter ToS that you understand there’s a chance the project won’t come to fruition?

This is pretty much exactly what I think of when someone says “medieval castle.” Neat.

I do also feel kind of weird about being pampered, but admittedly it doesn’t stress me out to the same level you have to deal with.

For me it’s less about the people themselves and their intent and more about being reminded that I’m helpless for a little while. My family also tends to respect when I can get things myself, though.

I do break to pressure when I’m not feeling well too. Having to be in any sort of high sensory/social situation when I’m sick or recovering from something leaves me in tears the second I’m out of public view. Sometimes even the thought of an obligation makes me break down.

Fortunately my loved ones tend to be understanding even if they don’t always remember my exact temperaments on these things and I try to keep that in mind when I’m frustrated.

I think most of it comes down to feeling like I’m not in control of the few things I usually get to be when I’m vulnerable and it builds up.

TL;DR: You’re not alone on this one. Well meaning but obtuse family happens lol, maybe making your position extra clear about it beforehand could help if you haven’t already.

That’s her couch now. Guess you didn’t get the repossession notice yet, sorry 😬

How disrespectful!

The hole was on the sides, not the front.

Slime Rancher 2!

It officially launched on the 23rd and I’ve been playing it (admittedly sparingly) since then. The environments are lush, the slimes are just as cute plus new ones, and the gameplay discovery feels delightfully natural.

The upgrade loop is slower and it can make managing ranch/exploration balance trickier than the original but on easy settings it’s not too much of an issue.

Overall it’s pretty relaxing and it’s well worth the ~$20USD on Steam while it’s on sale. Oh and the original is on sale for $2! Highly recommend.

How nice of Dash to share their tummy 🖤

I’ve gotten about all of 20-30 mins sleep but that’s okay. I’ve been playing Slime Rancher 2 on and off since it (finally!) came out of early access and officially launched on the 23rd. Has this week’s sense of time felt weird to anyone else?

Hope your tummy feels better soon.

The Dragon’s Tooth Sword from Deus Ex.

It was about as close to a lightsaber you could get without being a lightsaber and it blew all the other melee weapons out of the water. Plus the quest to get it is fun.

Getting in between a shareholder and their profits is gonna lead to a bad time.

How dare they cast the role of Caribbean princess as a young black girl? /s

(I know the stories are Danish or something but Disney put these films in tropical island settings)

You mean autistic people…are human? 🤯

Imagine thinking neurotypes are binary and not a gradient of human experiences. Imagine also thinking one swath of neurotypes is a disease and not also simply part of said human experience.

These are also the same jackasses who think only one sleep pattern is “correct” despite…well, history, but that’s a separate rant.

Nah fam.

I used to joke about furries but after being here for the last ~6 months they’re one of the last bastions of free expression and also more or less an inextricable part of any online spaces worth participating in.

The presence of furries is unironically a sign of resilience. Let them be.
