Space Jam but its the new Gundam series where all your faves play basketball in mivile suits.

Life hack: disassociation makes everything someone else problem

Chad at the gym wearing a red shirt with yellow all caps "CCCP" on it.

Feels like doxing myself suggesting I live somewhere this is even slightly socially acceptable.

I hate being so familiar with what is now considered nostalgic

Clue was an interesting movie and theres TWO endings!!!

For all the talk on :lib: social media of Gabe Newell being the One Good Billionaire, Steam could be taking a much smaller cut of the profits from game devs and still be massively profitable. Steam employees make from 100 to 300k and there are maybe 400 of them, no shareholders to speak of, and yet GabeN has the most expensive yacht in the world, or close to it, raking in billions.

Buying condoms from my work laptop so my employer knows I’m a responsible adult.

Had the pleasure of seeing an old friend for the first time in years. Told her my situation. Sometimes things have to take their course. And it sunk in now. It felt better, yeah I have this and that to consider, but also things just take turns like this. It acknowledged my feelings but also gently got me to move along. The breakup is starting to hurt a lot less. The sadness i feel is for me alone now. It was the healing i need, and a great justification for why i so strongly felt the desire to maintain this friendship fraught with troubles of all sorts.

Sometimes the advice you need feels like it has to come from someone who sees deep inside of you, even when it’s the same thing you’ve heard before.

Further out from the release state for my Foundry plugin than I thought I was. Now I need to figure out how to get the server to connect to Foundry as a player/gm, which is very silly but right now the workaround is to have it running in two windows which is even sillier.

I am so sick of seeing people just say any old bullshit about China. It is so fucking annoying that moronic us citizens who have never left heir shitty little corner of the world. Don't know shit about shit besides which funko pop misprint boxes are worth double. Somehow still thinks they are an expert on China because they can parrot some nonsense their worst uncle made up from facts he also didn't know. Slavering at the mouth to call it west taiwan, genuinely believing they aren't being played. It is so transparent and sad.

I accidentally bought a sweater that's like 4 sizes too big but it'd take a 6 hour drive to return it so I kept it intending to cannibalize it and learn to sew. However it's been paying dividends in the cozy department of wearing-things-around-the-house Inc. so it will live to see another day

Self-critting on my earlier post about Chi Osse now that it’s less opaque where the lines were drawn on it, and since I also did some self-reflection on my initial reactions. I'm less wary that he's an opportunist now and I honestly think he should be endorsed next cycle if he continues to align with the socialist movement. I think I ended up negatively polarizing myself against it because I saw a lot of X Dot Com accounts I deem rather credulous making it into a sectarian wedge which rubbed against my outside-chapter view of the situation being more of a resource allocation debate.

TL;DR:

People still believe American propaganda about the DPRK because they never got invaded. If the Iraq war hadnt happened somehow people would totally believe Iraq still has WMD. The only way to prove you arent lying or that theyre lying about you to even some of the American people is to get invaded and devasted by war. Then 10 years later they'll say you should have been left alone.

I am intrigued by True Blood If I choose to add it to my Plex and watch it what should I expect?

Do people actually get into political arguments at thanksgiving dinners or or is it just a meme?

After 15 years I've started getting dental work done and my phone noticed. Im getting YouTube ads for fucking dentures and they are advertised at young people as an alternative for paying dentist bills.

Cool so all the YouTube music playlists I had are now not only falling apart from copyright strikes, account closure and the like, now there are accounts taken over(?) that replace the songs with 60 minute audio talking about crypto currency investment (third track)

It's so cool how gaming media consists 40% of people who think women shouldn't be in video games, and 40% of people who think you're entitled if you don't want to pay 200 dollars for a video game

You can't do 'old timey voice' when talking about 1972 it's not allowed

Ash just straight up trying to punch Mewtwo in the first movie is quite a move to make, but Mewtwo also uses that blue ball psychic shield he uses when figuting Mew to block. Ash is 10, just take the weak ass punch. The fact he had to use the shield would make me think anything he doesnt block with that would take him out instantly.

Fuck Germany.

Fuck Japan.

I finally gave Dogville a watch. As much as I adore pretentious art films, this movie just seems like a case where the director jerks himself off in your face with enough confidence that the cinema bros gave it rave reviews

I been slacking so hard I haven't been practicing my battle idle animation stance, how will ever be a master with such lax routines

I just found out that the whole Mr Beastland thing is only for 45 days, and then presumably they throw it all away. jfc the amount of waste that must be happening with this whole Riyadh festival thing must be catastrophic.

Like say what you want about American carnivals but the rides and attractions usually get packed up and travel to the next city when it's over.

I've been working on a bit, it's called "Liberal Morpheus (from the matrix films)", the name is honestly as far as I have gotten but I think it has some potential

Our department head invited himself to my team's end of year wrap up lunch. I'm gunna take a sick day instead (technically he's not our dept head he's the director of a related department but still

Recently broke up with someone and this weekend she’s been sending me abusive texts and crashing out for like 48 hours. It doesn’t stop much except when she’s sleeping. I’ve messaged a couple of times to say I’m not engaging while she’s berating me and clearly not doing well, since Friday I’ve only responded twice, both times I asked her to speak to a friend instead of sitting at home hitting nitrous oxide and crashing out. She just slings more insults in response. Like from the highest level of attacking me as a person to the core, to the pettiest - for example sending me a photo of her eating chicken that she was “eating in my honour”, to piss me off because I’m vegan I guess?

I really don’t know what to do except stick to what I said and not engage. It sucks because obviously we cared for each other during our relationship, and I still don’t want her to suffer. I’d like to help but feeding this feels completely wrong. We haven’t actually been together for a few months, this is because she wanted to get back together and I was hesitant and thinking we probably shouldn’t. Because stuff like this happened when we were together too (to a lesser degree). I guess I feel validated in that hesitancy now, god damn.

Honestly I was half expecting to arrive home yesterday to some property damage at my place, she lives close by and she is completely off the rails. I don’t know what to do except hope she calms down.

So is there a guy that rotate all the sundials slightly for daylight savings?

Real dream I had last night: I was a wizard. I had a wizard's staff that was a symbol of my office and status, and when I held it, the wind blew in front of me. My wizard job was pumping gas at a gas station.
