Only liberal protesters get harassed. If you have a gun, they hand you a bottle of water.

I got Grotto based on your suggestion. Played it a bit yesterday. Interesting game! I’ve definitely gotten my $1.29 out of it already.

Grim Fandango is an amazing story about life and death and love…
… Built upon an engine where the protagonist walks around at sloth speed. Manny Calavaras just sashays along, and there’s no way to speed his ass up. I wish you could hit escape or something to skip him walking in and out of scenes, but nope! I’m forced to watch him drag his feet from location to location.
But the most touching parts of the story stick with me after 20 years.

Yes! I’m on a local regional server that is nice. I like that it’s locally owned and operated, and we can talk local news and events.

When it happened to me, Medicaid was a way better solution. The only problem was there was a 2 month delay to get through the oppressive application process. However once activated, it was applied retroactively back to the date I lost my job.

- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 7 months ago:
I’d probably quit my job, and work as a writer, artist, game designer, and entertainer full time. I’m worried about health care, though, being in the US. Can you throw in a little Medicaid for All in there?

- Comment on Sunday SOTD thread - April 14th, 2024 8 months ago:
Hey there.
I could use some advice. Here’s my basic SOTD. I got a basic Haggard kit a couple of years ago. I’m still working on the starter razor blades that came with it. I really like the Proraso soap that came with it. I still consider myself a bit of a newbie.
The alum block is a game changer for me. I wish I had known about that earlier in life!
But I’m thinking about branching out and trying new things. I’ve probably got about a month of soap left, and I’m looking for a good soap that’s good for sensitive skin, and maybe comes in “puck” form rather than being in a plastic tub.
Also, now that I’ve got the basics down, are there any “beyond basic” things that you’d recommend to up my game? Thanks in advance.

You’ve touched on the cycle of enshittification. Step 1, everything is free and wonderful. Step 2: milk those customers for money.
The solution is to favor and support services which take capitalism out of the equation. It might cost a little bit, but I think a few small donations can go a long way.
