situations where arguments must be made from 'law and order' are inexorably undivorceable from a Hitlerian school of statecraft. outright saying 'there is no argument against your cause, but you're not respecting me and you're making me look weak, so I'll stamp you out.'

it’s so incredibly back. this is super informal and like it 4x’d expected turnout. People are steadily trickling in. The tide shift is real. I haven’t felt hope like this since 2020 lea-smile

  1. obviously there's the fact that her critiques of DE are so unabashedly surface-level that you cannot tell if she's actually played the game or read a plot summary/review of it.
  2. but there's also the fact that she's proposing a supposed improvement on what DE is with her own prompt, which in-and-of-itself is the lowest form of critique in my eyes–'what if you had an entirely different idea?'
  3. and then the prompt itself is a doozy:
    1. she somehow found a way to both critique DE for being unimaginative with its scenario/having a white man protag and propose, in alternative, the absolute whitest possible scenario imaginable
    2. in the implicit shift from a grimy Eastern Europe to a comfy Western Europe, she's managed to gentrify her scenario proposed in a critique about diversity
    3. she wants to keep disco elysium's, unexamined by her, 'wonderful writing', while stripping it of all the rawness and deliberate confrontation that is at the heart of it that would conflict with the idyllic nature of her scenario and her stated opposition to griminess
    4. her idea of a more diverse story, if we're taking it as she's presenting it, is swapping a white guy with a white gal, which, I mean, diversity win, I guess.
    5. the fact that this is the most generic, safest-possible indie game idea imaginable. I could go on itch.io and find 50 of pretty much that game. this is the idea that like 50% of developers have when they're thinking of a quick point-and-click game for a game jam.

i could go on, but the most scathing possible point I could make to this tweet is that this person is a BAFTA Judge strangelove-wow

6 hours monitored, 3.5 hours slept, 25 lapses into apnea. In deep sleep the rate practically doubles for me.

Diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, as they said the line for severe with that duration was 30. I’m genuinely relieved that I know it’s not a habit-centric issue causing this. Also may play a part in the amount of stress I’ve had trying to stay on top of my junior year semesters, along with my ADHD. I AM NOT CRAZY chicanery lea-bounce

Getting a CPAP ordered and delivered. If you feel consistently tired throughout the day, look into a sleep study. Anyone can have sleep apnea, it’s not just an aging thing, I’m 20 and I just got diagnosed with it.

Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change - not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

the principle of 'anyone who brings up a sexual inclination in a recurrent manner probably has that sexual inclination' continues to be true

also, as a neurotic infosec gal, I have to bring it up: what a fucking rookie mistake. even if the shit he had on his drive wasn't totally creepo, it's just bad practice to have fetishistic/pornographic material that easily accessible on a public-facing computer. 'never have your porn folder a click away' is basic fucking wisdom. buy an external drive. make an encrypted disk image. buy a laptop. nest the folder to hell and back. add literally any degree of separation between shit you don't want to air out publicly and your stream pc. foolish horndog behavior.
