SARGE

I sent this to some friends with my own added text of "Russia: doing a genocide. Israel: totally a-ok, no genocide here, carry on"

One of the people surprised me with a "how can you possibly think Russia isn't trying to genocide Ukraine" and was completely flabbergasted that I was actually suggesting that Israel fucking is.

Even if that's the way you think, I thought my sarcasm was perfectly clear and would be obvious to them what my stance is...

You think you know some people.

My favorite part of control is how they go into juuuuuuust a little bit of explaining how things work in a science way, and sometimes you can almost feel how things are connected, and then it's like "Yeah we have no fucking clue how any of this actually works, we're just trying to keep it all from destroying the universe and keeping notes along the way."

And then you meet the next thing that almost makes sense. Until it doesn't.

I don't remember if I ever finished AW but I do believe I have the disk around here somewhere. The control dlc definitely rekindled my interest.

Okay but like... If I only have a pile like.... A foot tall...

Will the dragon be hamster sized, Chihuahua sized, great Pyrenees size, or bear size?

Cause depending on the answer, I have some saving to do...

"Computer, emergency protocol 68 on my location"

Look, there's a reason you can wire almost any heavy machinery into any random console or wall panel... When you run this much power to every station, exploding panels are gonna happen.

It's either that, or we run our ships like Vulcans, and that's just boring.

I mean, what were they going to do, say "yes we keep slaves, next question please"?

Control was great

I love games that make me think outside the box

"I deserve to exist"

"wow, why did you have to make things political"

A statement dreamt up by the utterly deranged.

Not even a little. I went out in shorts and a t-shirt for about an hour, exchanged banal pleasantries with family until my anxiety got the better of me and I had to leave, sat in a room with no windows watching old shows and snacking, and am waiting until exhaustion allows me to sleep a couple hours until I go to work on one of the two days remaining on my schedule. After that I might not have any work for months unless I can find something close by that doesn't make me legitimately contemplate things. I have a broken tooth, some kind of respiratory thing going on, and an unmentionable medical issue that really needs to be seen by a doctor but I can't afford one and my government insurance was denied because I made a couple thousand more this year than last year.

On the bright side, my truck is finally working again and assuming the now-slowly-leaking-while-on fuel pump doesn't catch a spark before I can afford to have it replaced I don't have to share a car this week. Which is nice.

Damn, here I thought I was going to be original for once...

"while not criminal"

Hmmm. Making threats? Of a political nature in order to coerce change?

In my neck of the woods, we call that "domestic terrorism", but they freely admit that to the world:
