Oh hi! I'm here

When you thought it would be easy peasy lemon squeezy but it turns out to be difficult difficult lemon difficult.

Not the citrus scale I was looking for but I like it

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

People constantlyyyy using new words to water down misogyny when a woman does it. No she is not “male centered” or “not a girls girl” she’s a misogynist just like her boyfriend!!!!

has anyone ever noticed that being in pain takes a lot of energy ?

People are taking the whole “this person is performative for xyz” think too far and it literally shows. Like actually, it’s human nature to want to master a skill and share that with the world. If it’s performative to openly love things and have an open forum about them, then are your favorite authors, singers, and painters performative? We’re literally not letting people fully lean into who they are because we are in a very audience-driven society, and while doing things for brownie points is an issue, being seen doing something at its core is actually quite natural. Like why don’t you just turn the focus to yourself and indulge who you are. You’ll be a lot less miserable that way.

Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely

i have a suggestion

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that will companies are still trying to stomp out.

Listen I don't get to decide when the drunk elf that is my executive actually does the functioning but when he does we have a SMALL WINDOW OF TIME before he finds the schnapps again and we're done

yes this exactly
