- Comment on Recommendations for Pacific Northwest Themed Games? 1 week ago:
If that’s what the devs said, sure. But the game does literally start with you taking a ferry to an island which always see very whidby/orcas/san juan.
But I’ll admit to my bias, I was driving through whidby at night on a regular basis when I played the game so they always seemed linked to me.
- Comment on Recommendations for Pacific Northwest Themed Games? 1 week ago:
The advertisements for the game didn’t mention it at all. But as soon as the game starts I was like “Wait is this Whidby Island”?
Which actually kind of backfired on me since for work I had to regularly drive through Whidby late at night. Some of the games monsters were hard not to think about alone at 3 AM. 😂

Jesus. Leave me alone. You aren’t saying anything of value. Don’t make me block you over this.

intentionally exaggerating
🙄🙄🙄
You can “uh actually” my phrasing if you really want to, but playing tone police is to miss my actual point how these are long standing and well known problem.
If you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute to the conversation, it’s okay to just keep scrolling.

it was influential.
But only on one topic. Yes the FDA was created in large part from outrage over food condtions described in the book. But that really is only one chapter of the text, the majority of it deals with the exploration of workers in ALL sorts of industries (not just food), how preadatory home loans lead to finical ruins, how voting systems are rigged and how our policing system only produces more experienced criminals, not reform.
I mean heck, the last 2-3 chapters are explicitly socialist talking points that are still being said, for good reason, today. If the book was as influential as Sinclair wanted it to be, then we would’ve seen FAR FAR FAR more than the FDA.

Jurgis recollected how, when he had first come to Packingtown, he had stood and watched the hog-killing, and thought how cruel and savage it was, and come away congratulating himself that he was not a hog; now his new acquaintance showed him that a hog was just what he had been-one of the packers’ hogs. What they wanted from a hog was all the profits that could be got out of him; and that was what they wanted from the workingman, and also that was what they wanted from the public. What the hog thought of it, and what he suffered, were not considered; and no more was it with labor, and no more with the purchaser of meat. That was true everywhere in the world, but it was especially true in Packingtown; there seemed to be something about the work of slaughtering that tended to ruthlessness and ferocity-it was literally the fact that in the methods of the packers a hundred human lives did not balance a penny of profit.

I read The Jungle a few months ago and its aged so depressingly well.

It’s such a trash take to put Skylar on this list. She reacted reasonably, understandably and went way above what could be expected to protect Walter.
To hate Sky is to misunderstand the entries show.
- Comment on Anon has an asexual gf 4 weeks ago:
Maybe she isn’t explaining very well or maybe he is ignoring what she has said because it seems contradictory to him. At any rate, there is definitely communication problems here that need to be worked out ASAP if this relationship has any hope.
He would be uninformed because its a very obscure situation to be in in the real world.
I’ll admit to being bias, but I have lots of ace friends. Granted I am already part of the queer community and I take your larger point that allo people would have trouble understanding this, but we are less obscure than you might think. There is a lot of shame and stigma around saying “I don’t want to have sex”, most people take it as an invitation to “fix you”.To speak nothing of the boundary trouble allo/ace relationships have. I don’t know you, but I’d bet hard cash money that someone in your life is shades of ace.
- Comment on Anon has an asexual gf 4 weeks ago:
This made me question my sanity for a moment. Apparently I was uninformed about how to spell uninformed.
- Comment on Anon has an asexual gf 4 weeks ago:
She still is? Being in to link has nothing to do with being ace. She may not have sexual desire or want sexual contact (which are VERY different things) is entirely seperate from the dynamics of a kink relationship.
Anon probably isn’t being malicious, but is definitely uniformed.

HA! That sounds great, not the expanse bit, but I am actually a sort of new trekkie? I’m working my way through TNG for the first time so Resurgence actually sounds sorta perfect for me. Thanks! <3
- Comment on Telltale Games Releases New Screenshots Of The Wolf Among Us 2 Alongside Development Update 4 weeks ago:
Awwwwww, is it bad? That sucks to hear. Loved some of the early Telltale games and the Expanse show, so I was vaguely thinking of getting that.

Except when Shatner got a chance to direct, they went out to find God. Soooo… good quote, but from a pretty bad source.
- Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life? 1 month ago:
It’s vulnerable people that the general people laugh, mock and say “glad that’s not me”.
TLC is the new Jerry Springer only washed through a pseudo documentary style. There is nothing educational or informative about watching morbidly obese people ignore doctors and receive toxic “advice” from amateur fitness trainers.
Watch what you like, but understand that it’s junk food trash TV. I enjoy trash like love is blind, so I’m no better, but at least that’s affluent conventionally attractive people harassing each other. Not gawking at the vulnerable and suffering.
- Comment on '3 Body Problem' Is a Tech-Heavy Head Trip | Wired 1 month ago:
No Luo Gi? He’s basically the main character.
Yeah, he was who we followed but was he really a character? I deeply loved Three Body Problem but my only critism was that the charcters were kind of cardboard cutouts with thin personalities. But that didn’t matter because the concepts, physics and ideas in the books were so dang interesting.
No clue if this adaption will work, just that I can see a version with basically none of the original main characters still working. Just gotta wait and see how this all plays out.

- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 4 months ago:
The location has been closed for nearly a year after officials say shoplifters set fires in the store to distract from their thieving
And I have zero fucking sympathy for Wal Mart, their entire business model is based on exploitation both of the surrounding community, the government and of their own workers. Burn the police station down with it next time, so long as you get what ya need.

I actively enjoy cooking, but it’s shocking and shameful how little a classic education does for one of the most fundamental aspects of living your life. Home ec should be a mandatory class because every single one of us needs to eat and should be able to provide a solid meal for ourselves. I don’t put the fault on any individual person for not knowing, but it is a skill that EVERYONE should foster.
Check in to the American test kitchen YouTube for all sorts of advice, or go to the library and check out their extensive catalog. You’d be suprised how easy obtainable restaurant quality food is from your own kitchen.
