cikero
brother’s friend’s kid came up to me and asked if I’ve ever played smash bros. nah never let’s play it on your switch little guy
Nossa, não tava imaginando que ia aparecer esse tanto de voto kkkkkk. Tava imaginando que a enquete ia ficar jogada pras moscas e que nem teria interesse para saber qual é o plot.
Bom, pelos cálculos do Instituto Banana Preta, a quantidade de votos foram bem superiores a meta, por conta disso, resolvi ser legal e liberar mais coisas além do plot, como sistema de jogo, o nome dos skeletons e uma rápida definição de cada um para vocês irem já pensando em personagens, fcs e etc…
Não esqueçam de votar na enquete no final do read more, se der mais do que 7 votos pra sim, eu posto um cronograma.
Mandem ask se tiverem dúvidas ou se algo na proposta tiver incomodando pq estou aberto a discussão.

There’s a branch of the Medicis that moved to Ireland and now are running a successful chain of fried chicken restaurants which is a very different vinbe from when they were like buying popes and stuff

The current heir to the main branch of the Hapsburg family is an endurance race car driver

Correction: it's not the Medicis who run the Dublin fried chicken shops, but the direct decendants of the enemies of the Medici; the Borgias. The chain is called Borza and is better known for fish and chips. They moved to Ireland in the early 20th century. They are also said to have introduced the deep fried Mars bar from Scotland to Ireland.

The Borgias, among the most feared and reviled families in European history, running a fish 'n chips shop with deep fried Mars bars is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. It's like something from a D&D campaign where they decided to completely change genres.

So as a sequel to yesterday’s post; Kanks is now saying the US will “run” Venezuela for the indefinite future.
And anyone who knows even a modicum of US history knows this means they’ll put in a puppet dictator which will FUCK Venezuela.
And if you’re misguided enough to believe he did this out of the kindness of his heart? He admitted it’s for the oil:
Something which the lovely AOC ALSO pointed out:
Too bad his supporters are too damn stupid to listen. And yeah if all this was about drugs, why pardon the president of Honduras?
And in keeping with “peace”, now they’re talking about setting their sights on Mexico and Columbia with them in their OWN WORDS saying the Columbian president should “watch his ass” as well as saying “something’s gonna have to be done with Mexico”.
Congress? WHEN are you gonna get off your asses and remove this clown? He is off his rocker and will destroy the whole damn world. He is WAY too dangerous to be left alone with NO guard rails to keep him in line.
Again he wants to do something about other countries when he FUCKED his own.
Not to mention, Stephen Miller’s dumb cunt wife (who’s just another Melania and Usha, i.e, just as evil as their husbands) is posting an image of a US flag with Greenland.
Why? To fulfill the ambitions of JD Vance’s sugar daddies, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, to make “nation states” where they lord over people like kings because they’re losers who nobody likes.
Oh and for his whole “peace shit”? At least FORTY people were killed. But yeah he’s “pro life”.
Oh and there’s “news” floating about on Twitter from a loser named Nick Shirley (who I was gonna make an expose post about but this shit happened) basically trying to say how Venezuelans are “happy” with Kanks.
In Florida yes.
ACTUALLY people in Venezuela are pissed because again what Kanks did VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW. And his own house is broken yet he wants to fix others?
And France is burning their flags.
Like the idiots MAGAts and the selfish apathetic fools do NOT understand the long term ramifications of all this.
I’ll close this with saying if you thought Kamala was a “war hawk” or “genocidal” or “the same as Trump”? FUCK YOU. This blood is on your hands as well as those sorry ass republicans in Congress

It is really important to me that all of you learn about Al Bean, astronaut on Apollo 12 and the fourth man to walk on the moon, who after 20 years in the US Navy and 18 years with NASA during which he spent 69 days in space and more than 10 hours doing EVAs on the moon , retired to become a painter.
He is my favorite astronaut for any number of reasons, but he’s also one of my favorite visual artists.
Like, look at this stuff????
It’s all so expressive and textured and colorful! He literally painted his own experience on the moon! And that's just really fucking cool to me!
Just look at this! This is one of my absolute favorite emotions of all time. Is Anyone Out There? is like the ultimate reaction image. Any time I have an existential crisis, this is how I picture myself.
And then there's this one:
The Fantasy
For all of the six Apollo missions to land on the moon, there was no spare time. Every second of their time on the surface was budgeted to perfection: sleeping, eating, putting on the suits, entering and exiting the LEM, rock collection, setting up longterm experiments to transmit data back to Earth, everything. These timetables usually got screwed over by something, but for the most part the astronauts stuck to them.
The crew of Apollo 12 (Pete Conrad, Al Bean, and Dick Gordon) had other plans. Conrad and Bean had snuck a small camera with a timer into the LEM to take a couple pictures together on the moon throughout the mission. They had hidden the key for the timer in one of the rock collection bags, with the idea being to grab the key soon after landing, take some fun photos here and there, and then sneak the camera back to Earth to develop them. They had practiced where they would hide the key and how to get it out from under the collected rocks back on Earth dozens of times.
But when they got to the moon, the key was nowhere to be found. Al Bean spent precious time digging through the collection bags before he called it off. The camera had been pushing their luck anyways, he couldn't afford to spend anymore time not on the mission objectives. Conrad and Bean continued the mission as per the NASA plan while Dick Gordon orbited overhead.
Fast forward to the very end of the mission. Bean and Conrad are doing last checks of the LEM before they enter for the last time and depart from the moon. As Bean is stowing one of the collection bags, the camera key falls out. The unofficially planned photo time has come and gone, and he tosses the key over his shoulder to rest forever on the surface of the moon.
This painting, The Fantasy, is that moment. There have never been three people on the moon at the same time, there was never an unofficial photo shoot on the moon, this picture could never have happened.
"The most experienced astronaut was designated commander, in charge of all aspects of the mission, including flying the lunar module. Prudent thinking suggested that the next-most-experienced crew member be assigned to take care of the command module, since it was our only way back home. Pete had flown two Gemini flights, the second with Dick as his crewmate. This left the least experienced - me - to accompany the commander on the lunar surface.
"I was the rookie. I had not flown at all; yet I got the prize assignment. But not once during the three years of training which preceded our mission did Dick say that it wasn't fair and that he wished he could walk on the moon, too. I do not have his unwavering discipline or strength of character.
"We often fantasized about Dick's joining us on the moon but we never found a way. In my paintings, though, I can have it my way. Now, at last, our best friend has come the last sixty miles." - Al Bean, about The Fantasy.

There’s also Alexei Leonov, writer and artist and first person to conduct a spacewalk!

You can't forget this, the first art made in space.
March 1965, Alexei Leonov made this drawing only moments after narrowly surviving the very first space walk.

this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long
like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal
doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY
i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong

this was being worked towards by leftist labor unions way back in the day after the time of FDRs new deal. people in the 40s and 50s were already starting to realize that we no longer actually needed an 8 hour work day or even a 5 day work week.
even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste.
socialist-weeaboo
The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.

I’d also like to add it’s also been studied and scientifically proven that after 6 hours, we have an extremely noticeable drop in productivity. Sweden saw nothing but benefits from a 6-hour work day, including worker productivity, happiness, and half the amount of sick-leave used when applied to nurses.
laughterkey
Just gonna add that the IWW is still kicking and basically anyone who is not an employer can join.
