Remember a few years back when we’d have a running gag of saying something violently over the top and adding “in Minecraft” to the end? Some dude on 4chan got arrested for doing that with death threats, and yet for years I’ve been hearing other people, guys with actual political power and platforms, muttering “politically” after way worse shit. It’s a good thing whenever anyone acts on anything it’s a false flag, it’d suck if they ever had to face any consequences.
On work days I always get a good 7-8 hours, but if I’m not working I very rarely manage more than 3-4, it’s as if my brain feels like it’s wasting the day. I’m one of those people who can operate comfortably on very little sleep. I use a sleep cycle alarm that is supposed to wake me when it senses I’m only sleeping lightly or something, no idea if any of that stuff’s real/helpful but it can’t hurt. I also maintain a healthy weight (I used to be overweight) which keeps pressure off my neck and reduces snoring & breathing interruptions, that definitely helps with feeling rested.
Once in a blue moon my body decides to sleep about 9 hours longer than planned to catch up on missed sleep, but I either rarely feel particularly tired or I’ve been doing this long enough that I don’t remember what being properly awake felt like 🤷♂️
You did it, you saved Palestine. Bravo!
That’s good, but what exactly is the cutoff line? Tucker toured with fuckin Clive Palmer just a few months ago, and I’d take Owens over him any day.
He knows it and he did it intentionally, but the people laughing at him are his imagination. He’s projected these thoughts onto them because he feels self-conscious, nobody said a word to him. It’s just as likely the woman was laughing because she’s on the phone, or the man was smirking at something on a podcast he’s got playing.
Edit: Will you people stop telling me you laugh at Cybertrucks. I don’t care, that’s not the point.
I realized she was laughing derisively. She was like, “What kind of person would drive something like that?” Or, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something, but I’m pretty sure I saw what I saw. Then today, I was at a four-way stop, and a guy in a Nissan Titan/Toyota Tundra or something smiled and then chuckled like: “What a tool.” Or, who would drive something like that?”
Mate, these thoughts are in your head. My partner has bouts of anxiety where she assumes people are always thinking the worst of her, so I’m hesitant to make fun of the dude because I’ve seen what it can do to someone, but he’s clearly bought a dumbass car to get attention and now he’s feeling insecure about it. It’s sad.
These comics are from the Onion iirc, they’re intentionally shit takes.
The tweet linked in the article is from a dude who bitches about the “uglification of women” in games and Ubisoft being too focused on DEI. The post the article is about is clearly talking about people like him. The fact that there’s only one other comment here calling this out tells me either nobody actually looked into this at all because you’re all too excited to dogpile Ubisoft and don’t even care why, or you agree. Both are worrying.
That’s a cool idea, thanks. I’ll probably have forgotten all about this by the next time it starts so it should be a nice surprise.
Candle & Crow, book 3 in the Ink & Sigil series by Kevin Hearne came out today, I’m looking forward to getting into it. It’s set in the same world as the Iron Druid Chronicles, but isn’t really related outside of a couple of old characters popping up IIRC. I don’t think I even knew about this until I saw it on a list of upcoming releases last week.
I’m also reading through Swifts and Us by Sarah Gibson, which is a book my gf got for me last Christmas and only just got around to handing over 9 months later. It’s a non-fiction book about my favourite bird, nothing to do with pop singers.
Space Marine 2. It might happen, or it might not. The devs think it could be a good idea but Sony isn’t currently interested and it’s not being worked on. This is like the courier in Skyrim running up to tell you you’ve got no mail.
This isn’t news, we’ve known this for months. There were articles 4 months ago with the devs talking about how these 2 games didn’t meet sales expectations. At least one of them is out on PC now, though I haven’t played yet because it’s only been a day and the download is 140gb.
4, but it was peanut butter and jam.
That’s the book I start leafing through when my D&D players screw around for too long, they know something bad is about to happen.
It’s such a cool book, I love the silver edges on the pages. Not a huge fan of the stories themselves, sadly. Someday I hope they’ll click with me.
On today’s episode of Trump quote or Markov Chain Text…
Don’t forget, Madame Web was this year too.
I’m listening to The Wise Man’s Fear, and my rule is I can only listen while jogging (training for an event in about 5 weeks). It’s working, I’m getting a good 40-50 minutes a day out of it and the workouts are much more tolerable.
I finally managed to get into Breath of the Wild the other night after getting it on launch day and never enjoying it. I played 9 hours solid, then had to go to work for a few days, so I’m looking forward to going home more than usual.
Other than that, there’s the seemingly endless hunt for my last 3 Monster Hunter World achievements (only ~480 hours in, so I’m doing ok). Also, I’ve finally got around to trying Suicide Squad, and I kinda dig it so far. Just gotta clear my plate a bit for the PC release of FF16 in a few weeks, but I can almost guarantee I’ll be too stuck into either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom to play it.
Exactly. I’m there to lose myself in the crowd and to feel the music. Being right up near the amps makes me feel alive. Every bass drum beat feels like it’s kicking you in the chest, every time the pyros go off you feel the heat on your face, mosh pits open up spontaneously around you, it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had. If I just want to listen to the band I’ll stay home and put an album on, save myself a hundred bucks.
Jones hasn’t crawled under any rocks, he’s been going strong even with a billion dollar judgement against him and filing for bankruptcy. Infowars is being auctioned off in a week so it might be bought by someone who will just keep him exactly where he is, but he’s been openly setting up a backup business and directing people to it, which he’s said ON AIR he’ll just fold into the existing business if all goes well. His dad has a completely independent supplement company and he’s got completely unaffiliated mates selling his merch.
The only reason he’s less prominent now is because the politicians and the mainstream media in the US are so fucking unhinged that he’s struggling to stay relevant in his niche.
