this reminds me of a... speedrunner!

oh hey sorry I’ve been distant lately…. I’ve been really busy having a brain that is bad

my mythology pet peeve is when someone describes a scenario in which they keep nearly getting something and then having it snatched away, and everyone's like "one must imagine sisyphus" no!!! one must imagine TANTALUS!!! sisyphus = being made to perform a pointless, aggravating task over and over without ever making any progress. tantalus = being offered a glorious reward only for it to vanish as soon as you reach for it. they are NOT the same

i don't play about corpse rights it's extremely important and serious to me

while i don't believe in an afterlife or souls and do accept that a corpse is an empty space where something once was, i also think that if we give a body which cannot advocate for itself that meaning and personhood, then we cannot simply disregard it as it suits the living to do so without any consideration for the consequences of that, especially when we will all one day be in the same position regardless of our consent in the matter. unlike abortion, where you're advocating for a hypothetical person that doesn't exist yet, a corpse is what remains of someone who did and had a material impact on the world. the dead aren't due any more dignity or respect than the living, but they also aren't due any less for the same reasons, and how much someone values the lives of others among them inevitably reflects how they treat their dead.

none of this is to say you can't have a good laugh about it when some cunt dies badly btw. that the dead aren't due any more or less respect than the living means that if you're a cunt people are going to have feelings about it that they'll want to express the moment it's safe enough to do so. consider being less of a cunt in life and you'll have nothing to worry about. myself i hope that when i die i'll give people something to laugh about without pain or fear, because what could be a better legacy than that?

I don't understand how this is even a defence in the age of drone warfare.

Or even like... Cannon warfare.

Yeah, the Ottomans could have taken this in the fourteenth century.

Are those just shipping containers? You could take that with a circular saw if you took cover behind those water tanks.

Petition for a computer game that's like Hardspace: Shipbreaker except you live in a small community after the Mythical Societal Collapse and the gameplay is you breaking into places like this that the owners have abandoned or died in, in order to find anything still valuable. You have to find the safest entry points without getting minced up by homemade spike traps or rusting barbed wire fences or whatever.

i’m like a clown that no one hired or pays
