and it was easily the most exciting and interesting and amazing experience i have had in gaming since i played outer wilds. which, let me be clear, is i think the highest praise i could possibly give.

if anyone else can see the throughline between those two games could give me some more recommendations i would really appreciate it! i'm thinking along the lines of "games that strongly reaffirm your belief that video games are art"

Jason Carter, the former president's grandson, recently told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that his grandfather hopes to live long enough to cast his vote in this year’s presidential election.

“I'm only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” President Carter reportedly told loved ones

lmao they're keeping this fossil on life support just so he can

Early voting in Georgia, where Carter lives, opens on Oct. 15 for the Nov. 5 election, and absentee ballots are sent out up to 29 days before the election. Georgia does not have any laws prohibiting a ballot from being counted if someone dies between the early voting period and Election Day.

just two more weeks, buddy! you can do it!

that's gonna be so funny

i just saw the clip where, in relation to the "migrants eating cats and dogs in springfield, ohio" thing, jd says "if i have to create stories so that the american media actually pays attention to the suffering of the american people, then that's what i'm gonna do"

and that's just so, so funny. and i will laugh with my whole belly when what that wins him is getting thrown under the bus by our very, very dry boy

it's actually been 121 months, and i just realized bc I was thinking about other stuff that was going on in my life at the time and it occurred to me that it was a whole ass decade ago.

not asking for praise or anything, just sharin. need to let you all know that

a few years ago i worked in a shitty little retail shop that was owned by two brothers i never met that lived in another state (the company owned a chain of these stores across 2 or 3 states, there were maybe 4 or 5 total stores). we used this ipad in a stand to clock in and out. you had to take a picture of yourself every time, which i despised. i had been there for maybe 7 months or so when one day i decided to look at the app that was like the user version of the app from the ipad. it had a record of all of my in and out times... and a record of every time they had been edited.

and edited they had been. every single shift, one of the two owners was shaving off between 1 and 15 minutes from clock out time. i brought it up with my manager, who i got along really well with, and got him to look at his. same thing. my other coworker, same thing. i went home and made a spreadsheet containing every single time it had happened for as far back as the records went. it ended up being something like $400 worth of time they had taken from me.

the next day i got a call from that owner, and he explained to me that he felt like i was taking too long to close the store, that it shouldn't take that long, and that he was sorry (sorry that he got caught!) and was going to add $200 to my next paycheck (half of what he stole), plus from now on all clock in and out times would be rounded to the nearest quarter hour, and asked me if that made it better.

i was in a pretty bad place at the time, financially and mentally, and for as terrible as that job was i did also kind of like it, and didn't think i could find anything better, so i accepted the money and the apology and let it go.

anything like that ever happened to you? did you do anything cooler than roll over like i did?
