happy N7 day to everyone except EA

I think they changed the dates on my legacy achievements at some point to just be the ARR date??? I know it used to actually show the 1.0 dates...

one of the best things about having had my own website since 2004 and being a digital hoarder is that sometimes you can go into the files on the website and find something that inflicts massive psychic damage to your friends.

People on here will post anything. 'Baseball games have 9 innings.' No they don’t. That isn’t true.

i love being on social media with my friends and seeing a post and going OH this is so [friend] only to see that they're the ones who put it on my feed, it's so nice to know that yes i did get the interests correct

Keryn is what I like to call the fantasy spelling of my real name. Trevelyan is a Goldeneye reference but i do get the occasional dragon age shoutouts from people. It's also vaguely in line with Elezen naming conventions.

For the height of this sort of deliciousness is to have nothing but the blanket between you and your snugness and the cold of the outer air

once again having creation ideas above my skill level but how else will i grow my skills.

ideal social media is you see your friends posting about the fermented cabbage they ate today or the art or music they made and youre like thats so cool. an update on the lives of my friends and their gay little hobbies. and you decide to do your gay little hobbies in response

That's awesome dude, I love the internet and being old.

and then people have the audacity to claim it's because you're not trying. your life flashes before your eyes. you are forced to internalize the reality that you trying your goddamned best is other people's version of "not trying at all"

the aws outage should be evidence that running half the internet on a single company's servers is a terrible idea but i fear nothing will change

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Weirdly fun to block the White House

Microsoft hates computers AND everyone who uses them, whereas Apple only hates computers, and Linux only hates the people who use them. In this essay I will

It’s just an urban legend that Dr Pepper is made with prune juice but the fact that it’s so believable is DAMNING

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Oh I see we've hit the stomach dropped existential dread point of Sunday night.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Why can they fly the stupid fucking helicopter around after 11pm.

you know what fair

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Dispatch for those catching up: talkingpointsmemo.com/news/judge-m...

I think the biggest difference between The Internet Then and The Internet Now is how Being Mad Online used to be the one thing you could never admit to, under pain of death, and now, Being Mad Online is a whole career path with a skill tree and an ever-expanding variety of debuffs.

i think basically these platforms have a very specific boring use case they're fine for -- letting people know when you're live for a stream, letting people know when your commissions are open, sharing art, etc -- but necessarily cannot support actual communities

THE US GOVERNMENT HAS SHUT DOWN. I, STARSCREAM, AM NOW YOUR LEADER.

(solemnly) You've had mail.

I've gotta stop staying up til midnight when I need to wake up at 7am the next day fucking hell

This is how Toys-R-Us, Payless, etc. fell. Private equity firms can saddle a purchased company with the entire debt of their own purchase, strip every asset from the company, shuffle it off as its own entity, and declare bankruptcy on just the corpse with no harm to their own credit. EA is dead.

Visit... War-Ravaged Portland

A lot of conservatives are unironically afraid of places that look like this though

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Bro they keep moving my wedding dress pickup time I'm gonna mcfucking lose my shit if it moves one more time

one reason i don't complain much about bluesky's (terrible) moderation is because you're supposed to hate the mods. there has never been a good mod. best case scenario, a poster sacrifices his humanity and takes on the mantle knowing he will be villified, spat on, name cursed for generations, etc

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

being sandwiched between two completely computer-illiterate generations is so disheartening lmao neither of them has any idea how computers or the internet or anything works and can't find a file's path, update a driver, what encryption is, etc

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Removed a wedding stress point over the weekend, then today the stress point was back so hard I had to take a half day from work and gave myself a headache I'm so tired

I sure can, we just called them forums.

not me forgetting to do rising gradually on the alts and then realizing it ends and i need to run uhhh like 6 characters through it.

democrat melissa hortman was literally politically assassinated in her fucking home less than 3 months ago and now everyone wants to comment on how bad it’ll be now like ok
