This is a very inefficient method of telling everyone that you don’t know how to camp for shit.

The Democrats in charge benefit from the status quo. It’s that simple. They would prefer to let Republicans win elections if the only other option is letting a pro worker candidate win.

Peanut butter is literally my favorite food but I wouldn’t take a single bite of this thing. There’s like 40 grams of sugar here. I ain’t 12.

Really? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’ve always thought Reno 911 made cops look like incompetent assholes.

MicroLED are currently being developed, so we’ll see what those are like. Imagining the world in 50 years is a scary exercise. There probably won’t be any wildlife left.

Whatever replaces OLED monitors. People are quick to defend OLED, citing the fabulous picture quality, but I’m not about to spend that kind of money on a display with a built in expiration date. They only last until the burn-in becomes too pronounced to continue enjoying it. This issue is especially troublesome for people who play certain games with persistent UI elements.

It’s refreshing that this article used the phrase “half a million” instead of the way the American protests have been framed as “tens of thousands” when they know damn well that it was millions.

I hope we get more Palestine focused protests!

I’ve done some reading about CPTSD and it’s… surreal to read about something that so perfectly explains my situation. Autism itself isn’t a disability, but rather it’s CPTSD that does the disabling.

I’ll have to check out those videos. I appreciate the suggestion.

While Cyberpunk is indeed not a happy game I still greatly appreciate the maturity, the heavy themes, and the critiques of American society and capitalism. Even the romances are mature and well written.

Luckily I haven’t had to explain it to anyone yet, as I am a security guard and spend the majority of my time at work alone. Security can be a great job for people on the spectrum. It’s important to note that unarmed security is the chill kind where you rarely have to actually deal with people.

I don’t have any interest in being an armed guard. That shit sounds stressful.

I have a lifetime of unprocessed trauma leaking into my every day life. I was put on antidepressants when I was 12 and weened myself off of them when I was 31. Taking the lid off Pandora’s box has overall improved my life but every once in a while something will trigger repressed emotions and I’ll have a period of a few days to a few weeks where I can’t stop crying. It’s pure, unfiltered grief. And it comes in waves.

This time it was Cyberpunk 2077. I had heard that this game was emotional, so I was prepared for the effect it was always going to have on me. Or at least I thought I was prepared. A particular storyline put a large hole in the dam holding everything back. I do appreciate it when a piece of media can punch a hole in my dam, as it needs to happen, but I sure am fucked up right now.

Crying in public and at work isn’t fun.

I was 28 when I was diagnosed autistic. Up until then I had just assumed I was shitty and worthless. Turns out there has never been anything wrong with me, it’s actually society that has failed me.

The beginning of “Up” isn’t sad, it’s bittersweet. It shows that obtaining the best things in life always leads to hardship because nothing is permanent. The rest of the movie shows you that it’s still worth obtaining things that don’t last.

Bad enough that I cannot handle music with lyrics, with a few exceptions. Genres like post-rock are all I listen to.

His last name, obviously. His ancestor getting his brains blown out gave him his entire career.

Sounds like a good law. The comments on the article are absolutely unhinged.

They are polluting on our behalf. Saying it’s entirely their fault is like blaming China for plastic pollution. They are producing that plastic for the world.

Cool. Picking on people who are already hurting, again. At least they’re consistent?

Is this AI? Where else would someone find a single file grocery store isle?

This is neither light hearted nor accepted by everyone, hence the existence of this conversation. If it’s satire it’s not obvious at all.
