This is giving me CICS interface flashbacks. Anyone who worked retail or call centre or adjacent 20+ years ago probably remembers getting really good at using these kind of bespoke CMS front-ends (Bell folks might "fondly" remember ARICS and BCRIS).

Same. It's like a tic, I'm compelled to mutter "fewer" in my mind, or else I can't keep paying attention

Most of the time we don't think about it, because anything medical often comes with its own stress, so just thinking about that is front of mind.

It's only after the dust settles and we're all back home and safe that we might say something like "whew glad that's over! Can you imagine if we had to worry about money on top of that?"

Truly once you're used to single payer, the American alternative seems like lunacy. I cannot imagine the stress of combining some if life's biggest medical decisions with financial considerations

I'd go on but my socials timer is about to go

Yes, and maybe if they'd taken more style inspo from it, the later games wouldn't have gone off the rails.

Still a couple fun games, though

And suffering! I know we already said that one, but I've seen a large farm, and it really feels like a black mark on humanity that these persist

Let's do both! I welcome our imperfect solarpunk future with open arms

Interesting, I hadn't really thought about how I perceive non binary people. Clearly you're very well read on the topic. I think your comment might be coming out of left field for some people (heh, "left" field also kind of implies a binary - this shit is everywhere), but I appreciate you taking the time to share.

Definitely, but I meant the N64 game

Big acorn moment

Damn that sounds like a fun read.

Maybe your awareness splits with each copy, so you go from an "I" to a "we." No such thing as a "master" copy then, just different organs of the same meta entity

Would you be able to live with yourself?

I love that there are still kids learning this hard lesson in the year 2024.

So is Frodo the bourgeoisie in this?

I mean I hadn't seen this until now, so thank you

Thank you for your detailed reply. I just want to add that offering aid to a population that you are oppressing is a tried and true method of undermining a resistance movement. The left hand feeds and clothes some while the right hand crushes and destroys and brings about the need for the support of the left hand policies.

Good post

Thank you for your service

That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for?
