Dailies in games suck but imagine if you had a boss give you a free ticket to a gacha every day for completing your reports and junk. A literal 99 cent value sexy waifu toy.

Like ok that’s slightly better than an occasional pizza party but still insulting, lol

Literally right now, my daughter and I split an ice cream cookie sandwich after a long day of cleaning. It’s the simple things.

I wonder if it’s also because they’ve got healthier bodies or less stress or something. In any case, a wank a day keeps the doctor away?

This is the worst Weekend At Bernie’s sequel, and that includes the weird, racist voodoo one.

Hmm… maybe. The state of the world has been pretty awful for the past year so I imagine that plays a part. Aside from trolls, lots of us are on edge as the whole world seems to tilt right with propaganda and AI.

That said, I like us.

I browse bluesky too and find I actually prefer Lemmy because it’s a bit more self-policing… Like regarding AI slop, bluesky is fucking rampant with it, like Trump dressed as a clown or Newsom with abs, it’s fucking awful. Lemmy has a couple communities for AI but on average, you try that shit and you’ll get publicly shamed. That could be considered mean, but I appreciate it (especially if it’s AI I can’t even tell).

Welp, I guess they don’t need the money now…

I’m playing through an old PS2 title Radiata Stories. I don’t get why this title is so overlooked! It’s really fucking funny to play in 2025 cause its weirdly apt with nepotism, classism and going to war over wage theft (kinda, anyway).

I don’t wanna spoil it though.

Oh cool, now let’s do Loss 2 with a bad ending to this one.

Good examples from others but I also want to bring up microaggressions. Basically, small things that add up, like a white woman gripping her bag tightly when a black man enters an elevator, or a white man crossing the street because a Latino guy is approaching who looks a little “gangy.” Usually they aren’t that progressive (e.g. they support diversity but critical race theory is a bridge too far).

That said, prejudice is something we all have and is part of human nature. It protects us historically from things like snakes and spiders who may not be venomous but on the off chance they are, better safe than sorry. Prejudice leads to stereotypes, stereotypes lead to discrimination. Conscious effort is needed to overcome that, and progressives do that better than not but no one is fully immune to your natural instincts.

Jokes on you, it’s secret answer 3, all O3 (ozone) disappeared for five seconds and everyone got wicked sunburns as a result.

Well, maybe not a full sunburn. But you’d get mighty uncomfortable in the sun for those five seconds!

Man I’d love to see them try and fail, especially in those thin margin areas, although I’m pretty sure they’re going to also make it’s so difficult to vote blue by locating polling stations, adding even more restrictions (but only on Dems), and so on.

Given a non-zero number of reds being pissed off over tarrifs, Epstein, etc., it’s certainly possible that it still backfires even with all the cheating, though. Throw in some underdog democrat not even backed by their own party and you might even end up with a weirdly progressive rep— imagine no boomers (mail in ban), no traditional neolib Dems (no nearby polling station or motivation), and an influx of unemployed, pissed off young people willing to camp out at the polls… anything could happen.
