At the very least he legally can’t be elected on the next election.

Nothing was ever made better by the usage of the blockchain.

So just buy the pixel first and then the iPhone?

24 hours is sadly quite common for me. Max might have been just past 45 hours. I don’t think I ever reached 48.

I don’t always feel anything, but if I try to do work after taking the meds I can …just work.

The only exception is when I’m already hyper focused on something other than work.

Feels like everything from Japan either belongs to Sony or Kadokawa already. If this goes through, Sony will will pretty much own everything made in Japan. Not just Elden Ring, but all sorts of stuff from Rpg Maker to a ton of anime.

Something in the way of “an apartment key is useless if you can’t get into the building”.

Orange Season was a pretty neat game when it was being made in rpg maker. When the devs changed and it got shifted into unity it turned into an awful mess.

I only started remembering which side west is (relative to north) when I started thinking of “the wild west” and then thinking of where the wild west was. Still can’t use it in the real world for anything though. At most if I’m at my own town I know approximately where north is, but anywhere else I’ll quickly lose the sense of which direction is which.

But other countries do have protests and riots for a lot less. I think the reason it doesn’t happen in America is mostly because of the lack of organized unions and stuff like that.

Where I live if some law suggested doctors could be facing jail time for providing care to someone who had a miscarriage, it wouldn’t take a week for doctors to go on strike, which would probably be organized by their union. And even anti-choice doctors would strike too.

And yet a ton of people apparently only found out that Biden wasn’t running when his name wasn’t on the ballot.

They are talking about education, not intelligence. Children of couples with higher education will usually have a better education too.

Also none of the sources linked there mention anything about trans women.

I wish I could say that people would riot before that happen, but these days I think that Americans will just take whatever the government does to them and at most will make some memes on the internet about how fucked up they were.

Back when roe V wade was overturned I still thought “this is gonna be the straw” but nope, nobody did anything at all, not even any minor protest.

America just doesn’t have any structure for fighting back. With just two parties and barely any relevant unions for anything, there’s nobody willing to organize anything to push back.

Nearly 20 years ago I was on a meeting when one of my coworkers suddenly jumps back, takes off his shoe and throws it in the middle of the room, with a scared face. Everybody looks at the shoe and out of it comes crawling a spider. At this moment the boss walks into the room and notices the spider too and says: “woah, careful, that spider is extremely venomous”. The other guy then looks even more terrified.

Boss takes him to the hospital and he took the antidote within like 15 minutes from being bitten, so no big deal at the end of the day, just the story of how he was wearing a shoe with a spider in it for over an hour before it bit him. We were all laughing and cracking jokes in the afternoon but the guy was just relieved about no longer feeling the pain from it.

I have no idea what spider it was, but this happened on a small town in the Atlantic forest region of southern Brazil. My guess would be that it was a Brazilian Wandering Spider (the spider famous for giving painful long lasting erections).

Two games I was looking forward to, both launching on the same day. One has Denuvo (civ 7), the other has not (KCD2). Guess which one I’m going to be playing.

Rule of thumb:

• are you making fun or otherwise mocking someone?
• are you doing it for any “bad reason” whatsoever?
• are you doing something that is/was primarily done by others for “bad reasons”, historically?
• are you doing something that other groups started doing as a replacement for something else that they were not allowed to (that you are)?

I’m half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn’t, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.

Unlikely to ever happen, but Xenogears.
