Her concern with landscapes and living creatures was passionate. This concern, feebly called, "the love of nature" seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love. There are souls, he thought, whose umbilicus has never been cut. They never got weaned from the universe.

  • Are you personally keeping track? Is anyone else?

  • Phone bad, "lockdowns", poor weight/diet/exercise, anything but the C word.

  • That's my credit card number she's fishing out of there! Tell her to go buy something nice.

  • There are so many. I think I would be happy gaming with only the PS2 library forever. I'd never be able to go through it all, and the variety is unbeatable.

  • Funhole.

  • It is actually Not Very Communist of you to be irritated by unavoidable but preventable loudness. It is in fact Very Communist of me to spread the both avoidable and preventable plague. Learn the rules!

  • "The price of community is inconvenience" people when talking about endless loud music everywhere: 🤗

    "The price of community is inconvenience" people when talking about wearing a mask when they leave their home: 🤬

  • FFXIV does not have proper statistics, but it does have a very large page of analysis, and I have a definitely unbiased opinion that it would score well. There are more "neutral" characters than one would expect, and a lot of them in an almost gender-fucky sort of way? Which is very cool. XIV stays winning.

  • This and OWUWAYN were formative for me in HS/College years. I always wanted to sound like Emily Haines when I sang back then.

  • I am looking respectfully.

  • I have maintained very few long-term relationships. People sing a very different tune after the first year or so when it's apparent one won't just "get better."

  • Every time I post something like this I scratch at least one other person. It's kind of funny.

  • It is in my experience that this is a very, very rare thing unless you organize something yourself, and I'm not in a small part of the world. It is no exaggeration how far the pendulum has swung. No one cares anymore, and they're determined not to care. It's taken me nearly two years to find a doctor that didn't laugh me out of the room when I asked them to take it seriously—and those are doctors! So what hope is there for the average person? I mostly only do things with a close circle of people I can trust (two others) or my local city's still-COVIDing group, and in the latter's case other interests that would bolster a relationship don't always align. Socializing in this era is a special kind of hell.

  • Don't listen, pig. You're perfect just the way you are.

  • These days the primary thing I keep Steam around for is Steam Input, but my pie-in-the-sky dream project is writing my own replacement for it. There is one alternative for my needs, sc-controller—it is the only input mapper for Linux I can find with Steam Controller support which is a requirement for me. Despite that it is very scuffed and it has been tossed around on life support for the last several years. Once I can decouple from Steam Input, I won't have any need for it...and hopefully lots of other folks won't, either. I know I'm not the only one.

  • “I should be able to go into my local park without people blasting music.”

    This is a thread about public transportation. If you want to listen to music in the park, I can avoid you if it bothers me. I cannot avoid you on my bus route to the pharmacy. Do you understand?
