The Mess

ain't nobody on this damn wept sight got a damn COCK??????

what gets me is that I would have thrived at most points in human species history...Not even saying this as a joke, i would have slayed farming with simple hand tools or following goat herds to gather up the wool and spin it into yarn or harvesting medicinal herbs and reading the signs of nature to understand what our band should do or caring for food forest or hunting small game with handmade traps or

its not like, romanticizing to recognize correctly that yeah maybe i am for being outside and doing physical labor and making stuff with my hands and finding things out about nature using curiosity. this was human life for tens of thousands of years and i'm not broken for being better at identifying plants than talking to people in a loud, crowded room/understanding MacOS filesystem/turning in quizzes according to deadlines/sending emails

i cry and feel so worthless when i think about all the things that are hard for me. But these things are so arbitrary and newly invented, and everybody isn't good at everything anyway

Concept: one-shot oriented tabletop RPG which borrows Land of OG's gimmick whereby each player is only allowed to use a specific, randomly determined list of words when communicating with other players (i.e., all communication not involving these words must be carried out via grunts and gestures), except instead of dumb cave men fucking around it's about a group of dungeon-crawling adventurers ascending the Tower of Babel, or some other suitable framing device, and each player's list of permitted words is re-randomised each time the party ascends to a new floor. Certain types of "damage" might involve modifying the affected player's word list, and one of the game's principal advancement mechanisms would entail "locking in" specific words, rendering them immune to loss or randomisation.

it/its pronouns doesnt mean "use they/them for this person if you feel like it" it means it/its pronouns this is non negotiable and i am going to kill you with my fists and teeth

This reads like a poem

The thing about Game Changer is that the contestants are in my age group and still make me feel old. Some of the challenges here are shit like "post an embarrassing pic to Instagram" and I'm just like who the fuck has Instagram. Someone had to text the 44th contact in their phone. I have 2 contacts in my phone and one of them is my previous boss.

shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.

Creating a soulslike where all of the endings are turbo-horny in wildly incompatible ways and watching the fandom argue about which one is the "good ending".

I'm a Buddhist Inverse Solipsist. I believe that I am the only guy still in samsara, and all of reality is a truman-show-like act by billions of bodhisattvas who are just humoring me.

I'm a Theo-Illegslist Muslim. I believe that Islam was the original religion practiced by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. However, I also believe I shouldn't be held by a divine covenant I wasn't there to sign.

I'm a polytheist with high standards. The pantheon only has the one. For now.

I'm a Post-Nicene Navajo Arianist. I believe that Christ was NOT co-eternal with God the Father, and that Coyote is part of the godhead. I actively refuse to explain how.

I'm a protestant accelerationist. I want the Catholic Church to sell more indulgences so god will smite them faster.

I'm a scientific puritan. I believe the only way to truly test if humans have free will is to try and convince Christ to kill himself.

I'm a Judeo-Islamic Para-evangelist. I believe the Messiah will only return once every jinn has converted to Judaism.

I'm a Sumerian Traditionalist. All the gods are dead because we haven't fed their idols in 2400 years.
