@yon@sakurajima.moe global warming hell on earth

I’m traveling and It is in the mid 80s here. In October. What the hell is this shit? What in the Almighty’s name is it like in summer? Is God trying to pre-acclimatize you all to the hell you’ve clearly sinned your way into?

Text editing on mobile is just awful. Even given the limits of the interface, it’s just poorly implemented in almost every application.

The thing I miss most about living near people I knew is just getting coffee early in the morning.

There is almost something sacred about sharing coffee or tea in the early morning as the sun is rising. I miss it intensely.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net You probably know the answer, but simply: You don't. The best you do is hope they'll let you catch them on the fall.

Life is unfair like that. You can't save everyone, and often times you can't even save the ones you're able, because of things like this. But you cannot force it on them, even if you know they're making a mistake. If you're not willing to let people make mistakes, you don't actually care about their freedom and choices (and thus, them).

You just have to let go, remind them that you're around if they change their mind, and then watch the trainwreck.

@jcktmn you kinda just need to be a dick and play social chicken by saying “either we use X or we don’t talk”.

It’s mostly working for me.

@yon@sakurajima.moe you’d be surprised at how hard that conclusion is for me to reach some days.

I can’t stop myself from replaying even trivial conversations, and it kills me when I look deeper and realize how accidentally judgmental or unkind something could have been taken.

At least these moments serve to prevent me from mistaking myself as intelligent, emotional or otherwise.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net better contact its family. ​​

I was about 5 minutes from making dinner when the power went out. ​​

I’m still mad about the ending after sleeping on it. Spoilers, but the game is garbage so I don’t care to hide it.

In the ending, the rebels betray you for pretty much no reason and the big bad cuts a last minute deal with the US Government that gives them full immunity. Unable to take it (and with no other witnesses) our handler shoots the BBEG, and we get a runoff about how she’s going to jail and we’re supposed to feel she did good even if the system fucked her.

This ending cuts our characters out of the ending and we end up being the grunts for the real protagonist - the handler. But worse, the only ones who witness this killing are us, and previous missions in the campaign make it ABUNDANTLY clear that we’re willing to lie and cover up the misdeeds of our compatriots from the US government to “keep it in the family”. So like… there is no way she’d have gone to jail.

@dean@urusai.social indie indeed. Developed by two companies. About 300 employees in one company and 2500 in the other. The poor babes.

If I had to make a real guess, they already have 1-2 quarters of work planned out and they refuse to delay any current work. That’s kinda dismissive to me but whatever.

@dean@urusai.social that’s pretty wild. It took them all this time to announce it, and then they’re not fixing it until next year?? Clowns.

I finished a co-op campaign of Ghost Recon: Wildlands and... ​​ Well, I enjoyed hanging with my friend across the country, but the game itself was ass, with an ass ending.

@demi@wetdry.world you have been seen. Have a good rest of the day.

DST/time zones are just a bunch of ‘off by 1’ bugs codified into the collective perception of reality and you can’t convince me otherwise. ​​

I don’t know what they put into American “chocolate” candies, but every time I have some I just break out in the worst way.

I forgot this fact until it was too late. Ugh.

“Alt-left” because you think that the American right and its policies are fascist? What?

Honey, that’s just “the left”, and has been since some angry ladies in Petrograd wanted more bread and rights. Read some memos.

This is your minor reminder that for a lot of reasons, your local food banks and pantries are going to be under enormous stress.

A little money or time goes a long way if you can spare it. Many employers even have a matching program buried in their handbooks. Look it up if you can.
