Starfield new game plus being a soul sucking grind that ultimately is not fun COULD actually be an interesting meta-narrative point,.....if only you could permanently reject being a starborn like maybe close the unity or something.

estrogen is a hell of a drug
Posting old and unfinished poetry:
I speak of love and I speak of visceral hands that push and pull to find any spot that yields or squirms under pressure.
The hand that feeds you robs you also And if you should not accede It could grasp you with a single finger and crush you dead.
So you grasp from others and eat their succor to fill your quota instead.
But if every held hand held open with the other clawing down
Held themselves clenched against the sky
Prying fingers would find no purchase.
No crack in tight flesh and bone and blood would yield under their nails that scrape desperate and teetering under the weight of their sin.
Finally the strength of one in five held together again and again would be found within.
We may begin
To in the web of digits bound by fate and by need
Find strength and purpose and our own nail-fought purchase
To get out from under the thumbs.
To claw and in that clawing hear the heat of the drums
Of a thousand million heartbeats
And in that blissful thrum Come to the conclusion
That it takes hand over hand over hand
it's time to sleep and let marx mess with my dreams again because I need to stop reading before bed time
Lol forgot that Furio hates Columbus for being Genoan
I wanna play Minecraft on the lemmygrad server but none of the launchers I patched to build on OpenBSD work :(
Why tf would you make a game in Java (portable, usually, kinda, mostly) require launchers that don't work outside of PCs running Linux or Windows??
reading a bit of the 3 body problem, it's very funny that the book starts off with a struggle session

reposting more dating app whining from last thread
i wish ppl would unmatch more liberally on the apps when they decide they're not interested, the two people i asked out never got back to me. sucks in this case because most of my matches i can take or leave but these two actually had a lot in common w/ me on paper and seemed like they could've been genuinely promising. but anyway is it ever worth sending a chill follow up message in this situation? lol it feels desperate and pathetic to me, but i take it that boundary/consent etiquette is that if they haven't unmatched ur still in the "maybe" pile
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IM FRICKING PISSED OFF
I’m ok now
If you ever want to know what oil field workers spend their blood money on, it's mushroom gatcha games
Feeding some strays on my lunch break. Stole some deli slices from the damaged pile.
They sure are gobbling it down.
i martialed all my willpower to not procrastinate another day on getting my car inspected, went to two places, the first "doesn't have an inspector today" and won't on my next day off either. The other "doesn't have a computer hooked up for it" and "there's one guy in the state who does that"
and then I drove 20 minutes to another place after calling to confirm that they could do that, an oil change, and change my headlights, and they were like yeah. Well they unplugged my battery to do the headlights and apparently that means NO FUCKING INSPECTION TODAY. And they won't be able to do an inspection on my next fucking day off either.
and they charged me 40 motherfucking dollars in labor to change my headlights, per bulb, what the actual fuck. I was ready to pay like 50-60 total and that still be too much, really, but fine. I don't fucking know how they can justify that labor price, I promise that mechanic back there isn't getting paid 80 fucking dollars for the 20 minutes it took to change two lightbulbs.
The woke mind virus has finally made its way to China of all places. Apparently women no longer hold up half the sky, they get a third at most now but the radical gender ideologists want to make it so women only hold up 1/32 of the sky to make room for all the new genders. 🙄🙄🙄

JOE BRANDON GAVE MY KID PRONOUNS
Moths are so fucking cool
There's been a common theme with the guys I'm attracted to/attract. They tend to like Brandon Sanderson, paradox games, and have played or still plays league of legends. One ended up being a vaush fan too. Should I be more vigilant with this combination in the future or give up on dating men?

HEARTBREAKING: EMOTIONALLY OVER-INVESTED PUPPYDOG DEEPLY SADDENED THAT HER DIVER PILOT BUDDY DOES NOT FLIRT WITH HER
Yeah look at all this fucking restraint, I didn't even clog both megas with like 75 comments. You cannot envision the sheer willpower I'm expending just to not embarrass myself.
Light spoilers for Unjust Depths 6.0-6.5
So the juice is at its juiciest (also the amount of characters who fit the description of "sad lonely sexy milf" is rising) and the Iron Lady has been tailing the Brigand, which I was like OOOOOOOOOO the hype thrusters are at maximum along with the TENSION, it's not all that clear before this where Gertrude stands, but now I'm thinkin' it's probably just left of "d*generates like you belong on a cross" :3
Mostly I get that from her exchange with Yana, which also had my adoration of Yana increasing exponentially with her sass:
"Inquisitor, as kinky as it sounds, that's just not my idea of a good time. Such handsomeness as you possess is wasted completely if you can't read what your partner wants from you. I would not be surprised to find out you've been quite unlucky in love if this is how you flirt with a gorgeous older woman the first chance you get."
Which is incredible, wtf I love Yana, but it gets even better when Gertrude flips out and says "You bastards; you fucking animals; you'll desist at once. At once!" She just wants her gf back y'know
Also I'm enjoying the Certified Diver Gang® more and more, it's so cute how they all dorkily applaud and approve of Murati's tactical planning. Getting to see them work together in the field is great, I mean when Kajida calls Valya a "good little enby"? Superb stuff, no notes.
Megathread
I was inspired by the Garfield without Garfield comic strip edits so I decided to make my own. It's called Homophobic Heathcliff and you won't believe what this darn cat gets up to!
