Like having cancer and AIDS at the same time.

Xariphon ,

I used to do Renaissance Faires.

"Wild Mountain Thyme" was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.

It hits me like a truck every time.

Xariphon ,

Sounds like how the people of Palestine feel all the time.

Xariphon ,

So why do so many keep dying?

Because these deaths are caused by murderous assholes with over-inflated egos and immunity to consequences. ACAB.

Xariphon ,

Magnus did nothing wrong and Russ has fleas.

The Horus Heresy. When you see what the Emperor's vision actually was, and really get to compare it to the galaxy they got, it's just... so much worse. And the galaxy is pretty goddamn bad to begin with. But you know there's a special place at the very bottom of hell for Erebus.

Xariphon ,

All 13 of Erebus's Black Crusades aren't better. >..>

Xariphon ,

Have you tried earning people's attention instead of demanding it?

Xariphon ,

would have been stolen*

They're not failing. They're actively choosing not to.

Florida gets closer to banning social media for kids under 16 (abcnews.go.com)

Florida is on the verge of passing one of the nation’s most restrictive bans on minors’ use of social media after the state Senate passed a bill Thursday that would keep children under the age of 16 off popular platforms regardless of parental approval....

Xariphon ,

Because that's what young people need, more ways to be excluded from society and isolated.

Xariphon ,

I'm shocked he got any consequences at all. His magic costume must've not been enough to grant immunity for once.

Xariphon ,

Anyone enrolled in the SAVE Plan who took out less than $12,000 in initial loans and has been paying them down for the past 10 years or more will have them forgiven.

It always pisses me off when I see qualifications like this. You know who needs forgiveness? People who got suckered into a lot of fucking debt. You know who needs forgiveness? People who have missed a lot of fucking payments.

Qualifications like this seem designed to make sure relief goes directly to those who need it least every time.

Xariphon ,

Any excuse to further marginalize young people and exclude them from society. Fellow old people never fail to disappoint me.

Xariphon ,

If you haven't played StS: Downfall yet you should.

Xariphon ,

I've always thought the name Buchanan sounded... Not cool per se but... Atmospheric? Like it could only belong to one of those old-money families up to their eyeballs in secret societies and mystery.

Xariphon ,

I barely remember that show. Was that his character's name?

Xariphon ,

Good.

More ways to exclude and marginalize young people is not what society needs. Social media can be a lifeline for people who otherwise cannot live authentically or get access to literally anything true any other way.

How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?

So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male...

Xariphon ,

In an at-will state, which I think is most or all of them.

Right-to-work is different; it means you can't be required to join a union in order to take a job.

Florida man seriously injured and unable to speak after encounter with police, daughter says after her father was falsely accused of stealing a banana (wiredposts.com)

A woman in Florida says her 55-year-old “medically fragile” father was falsely accused of theft at a Florida grocery store last week and then seriously injured in a violent encounter with police. Now, she says, he is hospitalized and has lost the ability to speak.

Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?

Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful...

Xariphon ,

There's just so many characters whose entire presence makes me go "please shut the fuck up" that it's hard to pick just one. Like yeah pretty much anybody would sell Preston Garvey to Satan for half a donut, but there are just so many other annoying characters...

Xariphon ,

These people are choosing to represent their country, not just going about their private business.

Biden Threatens to Veto Bill That Would Help Israel but Not Ukraine (www.nytimes.com)

President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border....

Xariphon ,

What's the controversy with Yandere Simulator? I missed it.

Xariphon ,

They failed the last one and they've only gotten worse since, so...

Xariphon ,

I'm interested but I'm not sure I have the brain cells for this right now.

Xariphon ,

Pharma Bro. Martin something? Even if I didn't know he was a dogshit human being, he has a punchable face.

Xariphon ,

Nah.

I legit loved him in Barbie. Not even kidding. Like, the guy has made an entire career out of playing the forgettable Everyman, and he just lampshaded the fuck out of it. Low key hilarious.

Xariphon ,

My wife and I do this, mostly because we're both often doing stuff in the house, but also want to send each other cat pictures, which don't demand an immediate response.

Xariphon ,

If she hates it then maybe stop?

Xariphon ,

I mean, it's also objectively true, but "leftist" and "true" align more often than not.

Xariphon ,

I'm just here for the Konohana Kitan wallpaper.

Xariphon ,

That episode hits so hard if you think of the idea that Picard sacrificed basically everything for his career. He never married, never had a family or settled down on some backwater planet.

And then for a lifetime - in 27 minutes - he did. He got to have the life he never got to have.

It just. My soul hurts for him. I still don't know if it's sad or beautiful or both but that episode tears my heart out every time.

Xariphon ,

Can we stop extending "just a kid" into ever older years? Society already years anybody under 18 like they're the same as a goddamn fetus. Human life expectancy being what it is, we shouldn't be treating people... not even like they don't know anything but like they couldn't even conceivably know anything for fully a third of it.

Xariphon ,

This. Sorry that was less than clear.

Xariphon ,

Don't apologize for telling the truth.

Xariphon ,

Legend of Dragoon. The game where a main character dies and is immediately replaced with an off brand of himself, and that includes a boss rush mid game that is unavoidable and punishes you for trying to use the game's signature mechanic.
