Music rules my mind

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

Do you mean community as in "broad coalition of people united by some shared material interests" or do you mean "Discord server"

Schism? Schism today?

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

Wondering how long they had this sitting on their computer waiting for the day to send it

There's a Chinese meme that the Yellow River doesn't need rituals to present sacrifices because if it's hungry it'll come onto the shore and eat the sacrifices itself.

People talk about how the Great Lakes are deadly because they are uncaring, but the Yellow River is literally out to get everyone.

Fun fact! This npc is standing there because that tile is on the same tile as the entrance to wayward cave underneath the cycling road. Because of how the bridge tiles and the tiles below them are programmed, if there wasn’t an npc there biking over that tile would count as going into the cave entrance and would warp the player to the cave. Rather than creating a way for bridge tiles over entrance warps to work with it that happening, they did the simpler thing of just putting a stationary npc on the bridge above

Dispatch hit me in a more personal place than I expected. I related a hell of a lot to Visi. Her ADHD, her anger, her insecurity, the way she identified with villainy.... Some people are naturally assholes. I certainly am. And it sucks when you're a natural asshole but you want to be a good person. Because that's not easy. People say it "costs nothing to be nice," but it's often a lot of hard work. It takes vigilance, reflection, self-awareness, and effort. I do often feel the way she felt in that scene in the park. Like I was put on this earth to be a bad person and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm *great* at being a bad person... but I just don't want to be, y'know? That's not what I want. I want people to be happy to have me in their lives. I want to be the good guy. And that's not natural. I have to work for it, and when I fuck up I have to rely on others to recognize that I'm trying my best. And that sucks. It sucks being dependent on others' forgiveness... It sucks knowing your next fuck-up is right around the corner... But there's no other way to be happy with who I am. So when you put a character in front of me who's going through that exact thing, yeah, it's not even gonna take me a second to press that dialogue option. I won't hesitate. You think you're unforgivable? Well I forgive you.

falsely marked red on shinigami eyes for, you guessed it, jerking off to goombas from the super mario bros games.

Gestures. What if you can't quit. What if hitting the bricks has consequences beyond yourself. What if you have to be responsible for your actions. Are you ready to be an actual grown-up or do you just call yourself one

Carry on my wayward son
