I am a documentation writer at my day job. I spend an obscene amount of time writing and rewriting support materials for our software to make sure the instructions are as clean as possible. The end users of the software are busy doctors and nurses so I get why they dont have time to read and just want quick answers from our support team. I get that.
What I dont forgive is how many times the support team will complain to me that a scenario or a feature isnt in the documentation, despite me bolding, bullet listing, and highlighting THE EXACT THING THEY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I usually relink it to them and screenshot the relevant section.
Look, anyone with a working brain should be worried about the prospect, because if he wins, then that means we're in for the worst four years (and probably much longer than four years) of our lives here in the United States. I don't think we come back from that.
Right. And now, going into an election year where misinformation is growing in weight and volume, we will have no idea who's artificially boosting their content.
Also, it means that every single breaking news tweet, who are you going to see first? All the dick riders who paid for Blue, which slants a very particular demographic's way.
The real power fantasy is being able to help people. Because that's the worst sort of helplessness, seeing bad shit happen and knowing deep in your heart that there's very little you can do about it.
Yeah, this is pretty much it. Survival strategies for most schools are to lay low, don't draw attention to yourself, and definitely don't give the bullies easy ammunition.
In my small town, a three-letter f word slur was employed regularly by pre-teens who had no understanding of what that word meant. You knew they learned it from their parents, because what fucking kid learns that kind of language in the 80s and 90s without the internet?
Of course people didn't hear about trans kids. Because if you did, they would have been bullied so much that they'd either leave, or just be a legendary target forever.
I swear, people forget what it's like to be in school with aloof administrative staff and shitty peers.
It's the ol' Blizzard "Look, we're introducing a new character who might be gay! There's no lore that references it anywhere, we're just tellin' you they're gay or lesbian, aren't we great!" kind of maneuver. Ooh, look at the special thing we're doing, aren't we playful and fun?
For the record, I'm all for inclusiveness, I just use Blizzard as an example since they used to be just so transparent about that before the really dark times.
Sure, but one person's shovelware is another person's cherished childhood. We should preserve what's been created as much as reasonably possible, simply for the record.
Great fuckin game, I just wish it wasnt as buggy as it was. But yeah, there was nothing quite so satisfying as spinning a double blade sword and parrying blows or the incredible crunch of whipping around a flail and smashing an enemy to bits

People. Do. Not. Read.
Be the change you want to see
Alternate take: that may indicate you're spending too much time doomscrolling

2024 is going to be a nightmare.
You know, one time I also found a deceased man in clownish makeup in a Wendy's parking lot in '96. Had his pants down. The strangest thing.
I had the strongest need to urinate, and I inexplicably pissed all over this dead clown.
I think about it constantly.
Naw, it'd be a fun episode where Moss gets REALLY into roguelikes
The Dimension 20 crew from Neverafter are gonna have to get real good at Minecraft RAD 2
I like how it started with a smaller Fuck Spez until some group clearly went "nah, we need to go bigger"
Legit. It's been great, keeping up while not having to actually do anything that might support reddit.

This has been the most singularly useful tip in trying to equate F to C. Thanks!
My dude, America is one of the most right-wing places in the world by comparison lol

I'm a simple man, I see anyone use the word "neolib", I downvote
If someone's gonna cut out a person out of their lives because of the choice of their phone, you're better off without that person in your life.

Those games were great! Ogre battle 64 for the N64 was super great too
