Baby dragonfly fart-waterskiing was not on my bingo card of things I expected to learn but here we are

“Accept that you are human and self-grace is part of success”

The ATF already exists

Are you a cat?

We’re not putting enough heads beneath a suspended blade, rather.

I want my money to be used to feed the hungry, provide housing to those in need, fund education and healthcare. I want that money to build safer roads and more greenspace, to expand public transportation and to make life better for the majority who live here.

I don’t care if my taxes feed a family who “doesn’t need it.” I just don’t want my fucking money to go to harming and killing innocent people anywhere in the world.

ETA: I’m also okay if my taxes go to helping feed/aid people in need in other countries. Just no harm.

An ambulance would probably help since it sounds like a stroke

She wants to help you! That’s the whole reason she’s there in that room with you. You deserve to take up space, and have your concerns attended to /gen /pos

The same few people who would treat robots/synthetic life as garbage are the same people who already treat other living, breathing human beings like garbage. lol.

The rest of us get sad when you can’t pet the dog in a video game :)

No cold seeping so deeply into my bones that it lodges itself there to radiate outward through my whole body so I can barely move.

No aching dryness making it almost impossible to breathe.

I know many aren’t built for heat but cold causes me near-debilitating pain and drains my soul of life. I’ll enjoy the warmth and sun while it lasts.

~79°F for the USians

Of course, how else would they play sports?

You can buy mantis eggs?! That’s incredible 😭💚

Mantids are awesome lil critters. They’re majestic insects, and even the babies are adorable tiny ninjas.

Video games, drawing/art, photography, having cats as pets, and wearing almost exclusively unisex clothing.

Yep. 12 year old me would have been quite happy to see me now.

I only just finally caved and got Cyberpunk recently, and that’s because it was on sale for ~$18USD.

Waiting for a price drop is the only way unless you have magic money burning a hole in your pocket and you’re dying for a game that never goes on sale (Factorio I’m looking at you)

I’m also a slow gamer. Take HLTB as a rough estimate, then add ~15-20% over if it’s not absurdly bite sized like a tiny puzzle game and has quests, exploration, narrative, etc.

HLTB is also a matter of averages, and the people who are likely to report are also a self-selected sample. Don’t beat yourself up for it; as long as you’re enjoying your time that’s what matters most.

System board (at least for laptops)

Yeah, not like those parents would sign away custody so Mr. Tyler could take that teenager all over the country. That’s silly!

Turns out getting your life together doesn’t really ease the constantly simmering existential dread.

At least I know that now.

Absolutely Intoxicated

There’s a very light “tutorial” but Breath of the Wild is like that. Especially on Hero Mode (I think that’s what it’s called)

I was 20 hours in when I found out cooking was an option. No explanation of the mechanic in-game
