  • What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I’m on vacation, but I did play a bunch of Mario 64 on the plane out here, and will probably play some more at night before bed some nights and on the plane back. I love that game. Runs are 60fps on my emulator handheld and I can burn through the first 70 or so stars in a few hours at this point. 120 has only happened once and it took me years as a kid

  • LEAVE AMERICA! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AMERICAN! STOP TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR PITIFUL IMPRESSION OF EUROPEAN SOCDEM POLITICS! YOU ARE SOMEHOW WORSE! COME TO VIETNAM! WE LOVE YOU! STUPID!!!!

  • Does Vietnam accept people with criminal records?

  • Going great.

  • AI slop

  • How do you find the energy to actually do things?

    Jump

  • Perseverance. I don’t have the energy to do anything, but I know if I don’t I’ll feel even worse. So I try to fill my schedule with things as much as possible. Kung fu at least once a week, no matter how much I dread it and feel too tired to go, or how much my joints ache, I just go anyway, and I always feel better after. Full workouts are tough though, I too feel tired after barely any.

  • More than 400 people suspected to have died from extreme heat in Arizona county. August is on track to be hottest on record, with temperatures hitting at least 110F (43C) nearly every day.

    Jump

  • Parable of the Sower style herds of people walking up the freeways to the north, where they’re met with guns but those who don’t want to share their already limited resources, all while being assaulted, robbed, and murdered along the way

  • More than half of US industries are already shedding workers, a 'telling' sign that's accompanied past recessions, top economist says

    Jump

  • It’s only been five years this time, but at least Covid had the perk of increased labor need afterwards, I got a $3/hr raise twice within a year by job hopping until I found something I liked.

  • We are in a recession (cw:alcohol)

    Jump

  • So you’re still in the denial phase it seems lol. It’s okay, if you really go all in on alcoholism you won’t care what it tastes like at all. Hopefully you don’t though, cause alcohol is pretty nasty

  • We are in a recession (cw:alcohol)

    Jump

  • Bruh Steelies are 8%, and 2 of them is 64oz lmao. It doesn’t taste great, but if you’re a drunk you stopped caring about that a long time ago. Or you’re just still in the denial phase and think drinking is cultured, but I used bourbon for that period, back when a good bottle was $30-40.

  • We are in a recession (cw:alcohol)

    Jump

  • Best beer for alcoholism is malt liquor. Idk prices now, but you used to be able to get two tall boys for $5, and that’s enough to get even the drunkest drunk good and tipsy, anyone else will be pretty trashed. I haven’t drank in almost 10 years though

  • I do 6:30-3 and it is indeed great to get off so early. I can get so much done still or just take a nap and still have time to relax before bed.

    (CW: Meat) China university plans nation’s first BBQ research centre to train 1,000 ‘craftsmen’

    Jump

  • Chinese bbq is already superior to most of the world’s bbq, though I gotta say Texas has the best meats I’ve had.

  • Why aren't these lazy bums gambling at our overpriced mob city?!??!?!

    Jump

  • I think of the mob vs venture capital sorta like how I think of national bourgeois vs international bourgeois. They were local to Vegas and so had incentive to make sure it kept running smoothly, venture capital that runs it now only cares that money comes in, workers be damned.

  • Why aren't these lazy bums gambling at our overpriced mob city?!??!?!

    Jump

  • Every time I go somewhere with legal gambling it blows my mind how many people gamble in the weirdest places. When I was in Illinois people were gambling at the local breakfast spot, like wtf? Here there’s only one city you can do it in and it’s hours away from most of civilization, so if people even bother going it’s typically once or twice a year at most.

    Jump

  • I’m pretty sure young people drink a lot less as a generation than all of us old fogies. Breweries and bars are shutting down like crazy now that millennials aren’t spending as much at them and the new generation doesn’t drink much

  • Going on a double date with a friend and his new dude in a couple weeks. Not super often, but it’s a fun thing to do

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Jump

  • No, no, we just put a giant slip ring around the entire earth, so it can rotate with the earth. Or more seriously, they can use microwave power transmission to send the power back to earth. Except, then it would be better to just use satellites because you can lock those in geosynchronous orbits so you’re not only getting power in a tiny window each night.

  • Not a bad idea. Goes with the game theme, and still has a resistance theme while being crypto to people who I don’t tell explicitly that it’s about that. I like it.

  • Usually south park’s relevancy feels very fake and surface level to me, but

    Jump

  • Trey Parker and Matt Stone contributed to my short period of Islamophobia from 2003ish-2006. Team America was big deal with young teenage boys in semi-rural America. I feel so embarrassed how easily I was led into it by the media at the time. Thankfully I got an activist girlfriend who helped me pull my head out of my ass before I got too old. Of course, that led to anarchism, which led to nihilism and alcoholism, which led to criminal charges, which led to sobriety and back to anarchy, before I finally said let’s read some of this commie shit. It was a damn long pipeline for me holy shit.
