My child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they're dumb and lazy, like all kids these days.

kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i'm 19 he's 18 and the woman at the door didn't want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i'm still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy's hand while they play video games. kids aren't just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we're addicted to our phones because there's nothing else to fucking do

I'm sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don't have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society.

honestly rare for me to get really into the worldbuilding of a video game because i am a gameplay/mechanics person overall but arc raiders is hitting me in the same way that dishonored did. the gameplay/mechanics are so intertwined with the story, the story doesn't even need to be much, what's there just has to be compelling. dishonored and arc raiders both have this lonely survival horror aspect to it - you are on a mission and it is difficult to trust anyone you come across. it is beautiful and dangerous and you gotta search thru the trash to get Stuff while you're watching the nearest corner very anxiously in case anything or anyone comes around it and instantly tries to kill you. and your choices affect the game

dishonored’s chaos metric decides how dark and dangerous the world can be. in my first runthrough i played high chaos and really struggled to finish the game because how high security was and how many god damn rats there were everywhere. in my second playthrough, i kept it at low chaos and ghost for most of the missions and breezed through the ending. arc raiders has an aggression mechanic - the more raiders you kill, the more likely you are to be put in more aggressive lobbies. my friends complain that nearly everyone they come across is aggro - my lobbies are overall very friendly. it used to be that you would only see emperor bots (huge, huge spider-ish bots that meander on the horizon) on certain maps, one at a time. yesterday i loaded onto a map where id never seen them before, and spent a while looking at two of them walk on the horizon. i like a game that’s got some real roleplay factor. im a raider that wants to bring supplies home to my little underground city and fights are about to get a lot harder, but nearly everyone i interact with is nice. silly.

To update this, the astronaut didn’t actually do it, she and her wife were getting a divorce and the wife plead guilty to lying to the feds about it

And framing your ex for a crime mid-divorce while they are actively in space is some Agatha Christie level shit

i want someone who will sit on a rooftop with me at 3 am and shave their head while i shave my head and then hotglue the hair to the roof so the roof will have hair

Stop listening to folk punk

Ilya meeting Shane's parents must be insane for them like. Mr Ilya "The Terminator" Rozanov, terror on ice and menace in bed, politely stands there. Your very shy son admonishes him for using the word "lovers" and Russia's Greatest Rage Machine just takes it.

You ask when this started and Mister Dickhead makes sure Shane is accurate about when they started this. How dare you stave off half a year of us, Shane?

You ask if they talked to Scott Hunter and Ra Ra Rasputin says that he, famous asshole extraordinaire went to talk to Patron Saint of Hockey Gays to offer him congratulations.

You ask if he has no loyalty to Boston and Mr Fucking Fuck San Francisco is like. Nyet

Your son is having a panic attack and Miike Snow Genghis Khan calls them "boyfriends" and it's your own extremely shy and sensitive and loving son that is like MY WHAT

The funniest part of Sinners was when the Native Americans just said “yeahhh good luck with that”

i like this show in a cool ironic detached intellectual way btw

Does he have "nonbinary vibes" or is he just east asian

logic behind the teeth one is that I suspect a large amount of people answering "yes" are answering so bc of wisdom teeth removal or other dental work.
