Yeah it's an incredibly beautiful game considering it was made in the late 80s probably by like 5 people. I was always drawn to how gross the levels looked as a kid, but it was the era of a lot of kids stuff being all weird and gross looking. Like garbage pail kids and shit like that

I have a job, but I hate it and I've been applying for a few weeks now. Not a single response from anything, even shit I'm exactly qualified for. Like everything they are asking for is on my resume and it's not even a lie, still no calls.

I do have one lead on a really high paying fintech job. A friend works for their parent company and referred me the other day so I'm hoping that I at least get a practice interview out of it.

I fucking hate this shit so much tho. Having to be so fake just to get a job is incredibly frustrating for me. I hate having to lie about everything. I hate having to use phrases like "proven track record" and "user-centric, scalable web apps". I just want to tell them "hey I know how to do the thing you want and I'm pretty good at it" and then they pay me and leave me alone while I work on their stupid fucking app

So I'm old, but there's this NES game called Abadox that my brother and I played growing up. It was an insanely hard shooter that scrolled horizontally and vertically. You're inside some sort of alien body zooming around killing shit, but also some paths will dead end and you just die if you go the wrong way so you gotta memorize (or hand draw) the maps. One hit kills you and you lose all upgrades, so sometimes continuing becomes impossible because the enemies are too hard without upgrades.

I used to have nightmares about this game

This was absolutely necessary, thank you

You don't think permanent removal is at least part of the point of prisons/jails? Seems like there are quite a few people who think of prisons as a way to get rid of "undesirables" and there has been a constant push to speed up death penalty proceedings. The entire probation/parole system seems like a way to keep people coming back.

Like yeah there are economic reasons, but that's pretty much always true under capitalism. There were also economic reasons for Nazi concentration camps.

Plus the entire system was built around putting black people in prison to continue slavery. How is that not permanent removal? The US has basically just been making baby steps towards prison reform for 100+ years so it isn't quite as blatant these days, but literally millions of people have been permanently removed by it

Honestly, US prisons in general seem like concentration camps to me. Lots of persecuted minorities, forced labor, cramped spaces and overcrowding, torture, etc. Plenty of laws seem arbitrary or overly punitive: drugs, 3 strikes laws, failure to pay fines, probation violations, shit like loitering and vagrancy.

Fuck I hate this place

Everyone knows only rightwingers identify as helicopters so this is clearly their fault

I'll regret this, but hwat?

That's actually Bernie Sanders

It would be so funny if Elon did a coup

I mean, the middle of the river is generally considered the border. All I'm pointing out here is that California isn't really importing water if they're getting it from a river that is at least partially part of California

Part of the Colorado River is in California? Do they go further upstream to get water or something? I'm genuinely confused. Everything I'm looking up basically says California moves water around the state, but isn't really "importing" it from out of state or out of the country in large quantities.
