I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.

The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.

HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.

The porn was fun though.

Use your words. Tell her you don’t want to and why.

This is great! Now we don’t have to let any immigrants in. Instead we can have them do all our menial chores remotely with this robot and we don’t have to give them citizenship. Everyone wins! Huzzah!

Emotional reward.

Yay, it can be stopped. Somebody else get on that right away.

So… what’s the second rule of talking to Fox News?

Cory Doctorow and I suggest reading Walkaway. I found it transformative.

It’s a matter of privilege. Trump had the opportunity to stack the courts in his favor. SBF didn’t. The rich rally around Trump because they see him as one of their own. SBF was an interloper. Trump has a rabid fan base willing to commit violence in his name. SBF cloaked himself in effective altruism.

If they both don’t rot in jail, then the myth of the social contract in the US will be torn to shreds. I fear what would happen after that.

Only because Eric hasn’t figured out how to turn the hot water on yet.

Lemmy is home.

Probably shouldn’t have put her in Lady Ballers. Welp, too late to do anything about that shit.

I would also like to point out after Rittenhouse had murdered two people, he was photographed flashing a white power symbol wearing a “free as fuck” t-shirt with the Proud Boys.

There isn’t a doubt in my mind he went to that protest to murder.

And schadenfreude is the leftover discharge from anal sex. Named after former US senator and moral crusader Rick Schadenfreude.

NBCnews put on their clown makeup on for this one. This is the last NBC clickbait I ever click on.

Imagine if you will you have a direct communication link with God. He tells ya, “You’re gonna be the prez of the US, Mikey.” And then this orange turd of human being says, “Be my vice prez, and you’ll be one heart attack way from the Oval Office.” All you have to do is give up the entire moral structure you’ve based your life around. But God said it would happen, right?

Then the bronze shit stain tries to get you killed because you have one, single, last thread of what you were that even God himself wouldn’t ask for you to give up. But still there’s that hope. “But God said…” So you hang on while the golden idol’s flying monkeys boo you every time you step in front of a crowd. You hang onto hope until finally you realize what you thought was God --in fact-- was your own inner dialog bouncing around the insides of your cavernous skull.

That’s why Pence, after it was all said and done, finally won’t endorse the antichrist.

That’s news to my brows. Mine are growing longer. A few more years of this and I’ll look like the mentats from Lynch’s Dune.

Put more thought into realistic options for my career.
