it don't matter to me now

Rika is unfortunately hitting the (pretty harsh) consequences of having to push through and ignore fairly severe conditions for years or even decades; if you happen to have some change to throw into this hat, I would be most grateful.

since someone asked, I still have a Canadian bank account and the interac e-transfer email is still [email protected] if someone wants to donate but doesn't want to deal with gfm :)

y'know i don't really love how people use "butch" interchangeably with "handy"

*north american approaching lesbian couple* so which one of you is useful and which one of you is the woman

imagine being called a bottom twink by the kid who moaned when you telekinesis-ed him to his knees in the 70s. armand should be worse

orson welles was 25 when he directed citizen kane. steve jobs didn't start apple until he was 21. bobby fischer didn't become grandmaster until 15. mozart didn't even compose his first symphony until he was 8. you have time.

maybe next year instead of amateur fireworks on every block for hours and hours we can try holding up a single beautiful flower

Rereading all systems red and the first 2 chapters are strong contenders for funniest intro to a book series. Jumping straight to action, and mb is giving us absolutely no info about anything. Who are those people? Some weird hippies it's not important. Why are they here? Mb does not give a shit. What is this planet? Fuck if it knows. Here is a small paragraph that fucking states everyone's relationship status like a wiki article that we are never gonna get back to. Ugh there are hostiles that keep us away from our media #our media.

we desperately need sex 2

i just know someone's going to mention kink. girl that's still sex 1. we had to invent BDSM cause we didn't have sex 2. tis but a pale reflection. but it's coming

kink reaches mayyybe like sex 1.3 if it hits just right

when sex 2 comes out what sorts of quality of life updates will be included to help draw in people who never really got into sex 1

more pleasurable. more intellectually stimulating. higher skill ceiling. more dynamic metagame. optionally more mental-emotional alignment between parties. less cleanup. more intuitive. more variety in sensation and activity to match diverse sensory tendencies. smoother integration with parties' coupled emotional processing. and so on

Fishing minigame.

Fishing minigame

my dad is very intensely involved a battle with his city’s public administration over a playground they have tried to forcibly remove like five times in the past 20 years and DID remove once in like 2005 but then had to rebuild because my dad was such a pain in their asses and came through with undeniable receipts of the zoning plan from the 60s/the historic/cultural value of the urban planning…. like there’s a woman in the city office who is his arch nemesis. he is literally the daredevil of urban planning

everyone in the tags needs to stop saying they want to fuck my dad.

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

Schism? Schism today?

Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card

@heresylog

Just to be clear to anybody, especially in the USA because I know that Catholicism isn't as common there, this is not a cool rebellion against authority. While some traditionalist Catholics are purely interested in ecumenical things like the Latin mass, in the USA a significant portion of the movement for traditionalism is made up of violent antisemites. The "church's understanding of, and relationship with Judaism" they reference here is the idea that all Jews are not solely personally responsible for the death of Jesus

Yeah, so, do you know how unbelievably too conservative you have to be to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church? This isn’t a cute little rebellion against the pope’s authority or a mild disagreement, it’s partially that but more importantly it’s because SSPX is hardline Latin Mass only, no religious freedom, women can’t wear pants, oh, and Jews killed Jesus anti-Vatican II sect. They’re the kind of people who HATE the pretty minor changes to Mass and seem to believe in tradition for its own sake. In 1988, they consecrated bishops without the approval of the pope and were excommunicated, only for Pope Benedict 16 (I don’t know the Roman numerals) give them a slap on the wrist and brought them back into the fold for the sake of unity. Decades later, they have the pure audacity to do it again, I suspect they either knew they’d get excommunicated again and didn’t care or were bold enough to assume they’d get a different result. Either way, good riddance and I hope they learn their lesson this time.

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc
