I've been enjoying new, retro point-and-click adventures lately. Especially if they use old graphical styles. One thing I'd like to see more of is games that try to create an aesthetic similar to VGA games of the early 90s. Modern pixel art is different.

The current wave of "AI" stupidity is basically a more complicated version of the perpetual motion machine. The dream will never be achieved, and the reasons why are basic, immutable facts about reality.

If your primary motivation is feeling superior to others, you will fail to meet the present moment. Especially if you feel the need to stereotype political groups and proscribe beliefs onto them based on your own weird grudges, you will just flail and make everything worse.
I've had randos call me a shitlib and other randos call me a leftist nutjob without me even giving an opinion, just asking people to listen better to each other. Stop it. Tantrums don't help. Shadowboxing your own strawmen doesn't help. It makes you no better than a troll.

I characterize the problems on my right side as being like "a pillow stuck in a pillowcase the wrong way." I used that to describe the physical sensations, not necessarily what's going on mechanically.
But tonight I decided to take it a little more seriously, as if the soft tissues have "slipped" relative to the bone they're attached to. I did a manipulation where I use one hand to pull the soft tissue in a direction, and the other hand to push the bone the opposite direction. It seems to be helping. Ehlers-Danlos is wild, man

I certainly do, and I share your frustration. I know from my own perspective, part of my loss isn't just the trajectory of my country, but also my own personal trajectory, starting out in a well-off middle-class home, and then barely scraping by while disabled after moving out and losing the support of most of my family. Even though the home I grew up in was abusive, I miss the material security.

Sometimes my subconscious plucks out a song I haven't thought about in more than a decade and sticks it in my head. I go and check the lyrics, and huh, that's kinda a vibe, but also wow. Don't think I've ever missed the 90s more than I do now. End of an era.

There's a very weird but common misconception that people on disability benefits are somehow a "drain on the economy." But 100% of that money will be *spent*, on things like rent, mortgage, insurance, food, clothing, and so on. That's money that *immediately* goes to business owners and, if those business owners aren't hoarding wealth, will cycle through the rest of the economy.
Drains on the economy are where money *stops* moving, like, for example, when it reaches wealthy billionaires.

I briefly embedded myself in some leftist spaces that get intensely anti-American, and after a couple years of observing how that sphere works, realized it was a dead-end. And also largely a space that launders pro-Kremlin propaganda and dresses it up as leftist. (Usually without even realizing that's what they're doing.) No thank you.

2024-10-22 02:06:47 UTC

Anyways if you're wondering why I, as a leftist, don't support anti-American sentiment, it's because *I fucking live here* and would like to stay alive. Weird, I know.

All of this is tied to the Israel/Palestine conflict as well, which is *not* just about Israel and Palestine. If you think it's just about Israel and Palestine, you do not understand the conflict and the greater forces at play.

And when you connect the dots, you realize that most of the GOP has aligned themselves with anti-American forces, and part of how Russia is helping facilitate the GOP is by pushing disaffected leftists into strong anti-American sentiment so they won't fight back.
This is *not at all a new strategy*, by the way. The only new part is the right wing lining up to support Russian interests.
