Remember a few years ago when a load of americans were freaking out about getting sent mysterious seeds from China

What sounded very cool and funny of course was peppered with the usual sinophobic hatred and bullshit. And it turned out later that [EDIT: some of] those people had ordered the seeds and just forgotten about it. Even after receiving them

I wonder how much of it was hysteria and how much was just another manifestation of doublethink, made very easy by the opportunity to be racist

today was pretty bad but I'm still going to flood the earth. fuck you, humans

not many people have survived finding this out but it's actually not possible to kill a vega

@topaz I do not know this reference

@fesshole you don't have to fuck someone else to get divorced and in fact it's a LOT simpler not to

new version

twenty-three thousand yard stare

(CW lots of food in photo)

i have found on a unrelated site, a "weekly shop" for one woman, used as the basis for their (very welcome, since regardless of the amount, its consistency works as a relative measure of price changes) price tracker

this is... this is WAY TOO MUCH, right? For a WEEK? I know I'm poor as shit but WHAT

@uoou I figure it's a rolling thing, so the mayonnaise one week stands in for more milk the next or a pizza or whatever

but even if those are one offs.... that's a lot? ;'(

@CedarTea my last landlord literally used her "charity" work with homeless people (which she mysteriously had time to do. Must have been getting lots of money from somewhere) as moral licence for knowingly helping my abuser to punish me for defending myself

they fucking LOVE creating more homeless people. it hands them everything

worried your game might be enjoyable? No problem! Make it a roguelike

@elilla fuck astronauts I guess

love to be poor and have everything gated by ever more intrusive corporate surveillance because rich people hate public infrastructure

@fesshole imagine a world where 5% of the energy the straights put into making us miserable went into building a relationship with the people they marry instead

rich tech boys made software that consumes the entire internet and regurgitates random vaguely plausible-sounding rearrangements of it in a way that tells them they're a special clever boy

I don't know if any sci fi writer had the nerve to publish this instead of reigning it in as too stupid and clumsy

There's perhaps no sadder indictment than that Graham wrote in 2014 that he was asking for pitches because most games writing was terrible, and that he last night wrote that he wasn't including any writing about games in his colum about good articles, because he doesn't like any of it

There was a brief period when things were getting better. And then 95% of the media let the fascists in, then helped them break containment. And here we are, not just games but the whole internet and public life

@fesshole weird ceremony, probably not legally binding

just reminded myself there was a thing up in the doctor's about "sore throat" illustrated with blades and stuff and the message was.... sore throats are unpleasant! talk to your pharmacist for advice

If I was a pharmacist I'd honestly be considering a lawsuit

but then you'd need to convince everyone involved to stop pretending they think the pandemic ended before they'd even be able to look at your case without their brains blocking it out like fuckin predator vision

@eniko me and the girls reaching across the aisle so as not to alienate potential voters

"why do people download x instead of streaming"

I dunno man, why do you buy clothes instead of just assuming the clothes shop will always be there
