There’s always someone else we can blame. Door Dash execs can just say if they don’t deliver then one of their competitors will. Everyone’s being shitty and it’s no one’s fault.

That’s kind of the cruelty of capitalism. You can coerce people do unsafe or unpleasant things, but it gets framed as a favour because hey they’re getting paid.
Whereas if the person you were paying was truly comfortable and didn’t need money for survival, there is a chance that they would forego working on that kind of night.
- Comment on Vibes based cooking 6 days ago:
I usually try to stick reasonably closely to the recipe the first time I’m trying something out. That way if I don’t like the result, I know it’s not just that I ruined the recipe with my modifications.

I think the smaller communities helps with giving eachother the benefit of the doubt. Like if I’m disagreeing with someone from my own insurance, or another small one I know is generally cool, I’ll try much harder to figure out what their point is.

There’s a fine line between satire and being an idiot but on purpose.

I don’t track or rank joy like that, but discovering the dark world in The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past is definitely up there. Just realising the world had this whole extra dimension to it.
I still love dimensionality / hidden depth in games.
I mean, who doesn’t?

Like you put the ram back in the other way - like flipping a toasted halfway through to make sure both sides get exactly the same treatment?
- Comment on Balatro dev shares an excellent list of his favourite indie games of 2024 2 weeks ago:
I heard one video essayist identify it as a “metroidbrainia” - a game where progression is gated not simply by items/keys, but by knowledge of systems, many of them hidden.

Ball-haver here, and agreed. Balls also hurt for a variety of reasons. Sometimes just gently elbowing yourself can lead to a dull ache that leaves you squirming.
Anecdotally ball pain does not sound nearly as bad as period cramps - and people are expected to go to work with those!
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I’m fortunate enough to have gone without that particular withdrawal.
But heroin is exactly what I was thinking when I added the qualifier “depending on the drug.”
I would never compare weed to heroin in any aspect.
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 2 weeks ago:
The psychological aspect is the hardest part of any addiction. Yeah withdrawal sucks, but depending on the drug it’s just like being sick.
If all it took to break an addiction was being sick for a week it wouldn’t be hard.

Yeah I’ve got some herbal blend that I’ll roll up every now and again when my brother the smoker comes over, and I kind of get a pang like I’d also like one.

I like the way you think. The logic of video games and what they display don’t have to be limited by anything in the real world. They can invent entirely new forms of perception even (like that Devil Daggers sequel that lets you see behind yourself using colour overlays).
- Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good 3 weeks ago:
Sure you can, just do like “reviewers/players gush about ‘riveting plot’ and ‘characters that feel real’ and ‘a truly compelling story’” or whatever it is.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
On the point of metric, my partner is more used to Imperial measurements so I’ve just put up little hand drawn conversion charts around the house, mostly the kitchen.
On the point of lib bashing, that’s harder. You can really only have those more nuanced conversations with open-minded people in smaller groups (or just find your local socialists).
