Trash.

I think saying Tankies aren't Communists is a bit like saying Sword Art Online isn't an anime.

Just because they suck doesn't remove them from the category. In fact acknowledging the sucky parts of a

How to drink Prune Juice

Eagleland

I played far too much Earthbound.

listen to audiobooks

Listening to an audiobook is reading unless you're really fucking pedantic. (and in that case, you shouldn't be taken seriously)

The content of an audiobook of, idk, name a story you enjoy, is exactly the same as the content of the paperback or ebook. Unless the book is like. Really avant-garde, the likes of House of Leaves. But let's face it -- Most literature ain't like that.

Communists (internet troll-ish)

As opposed to Communists (just-- communists) from lemmy.ml and Communists (Spicy Communists) from lemmygrad.ml

Fun little anecdote -- One of my neighbours is one such twat. They used to fly a Brazilian flag from their window.

Then Jan 8 2023 came and went, and the "patriots" failed to manifest a CIA-backed military coup in our country by camping outside army boot camps (because the CIA right now has other problems and doesn't care to fund right wing dictatorships in Latin America, and our military does not like to work and will never move their asses, for or against any cause, without a fat paycheck telling them to) -- And they became disillusioned.

So they replaced the Brazilian flag, with the flag of SE Palmeiras, a soccer team. Which is hilarious because Palmeiras has history with the original fascists, like the Italian, Mussolini-before-he-was-hung ones.

I almost took a photo of it in my phone to tell my friends about my great achievment.

I'm imagining that "living in the game" implies something a bit more personal than the game interfaces. So I'd get to attend decadent high-society events, travel around and see the worlds under my domain, meet interesting aliens, have an affair with the fungoid president of planet AZ-12-69 (...)

I mean sure, you're right, I would eventually get my shit wrecked by an endgame crisis and things would go very tits up for my space empire. I'm not that good at Stellaris, just sorta okay, and something tells me that not having the birds' eye view that the game gives you would make the strategising even harder.

... But it is also worth taking into account that we can go beyond the interactions the game allows, so boredom would take quite a bit longer to set in.

That's a story and a half

In early 2020, after 5 years and 3 separate doctors I figured out why my belly hurt all the time. It was crohn's disease. But hey, good news, I could start treatment!

The first treatment we attempted, because we had to, was Azathioprine. It is provided freely by our government's free healthcare service, and it works for a lot of people.

Well it did put the crohn's into remission. After a month I took my first normal shit in eeeeh nine years?

Small problem, it was too toxic for my body and my pancreas rioted.

Anyway we started with Entyvio after I got over the pancreatitis, it is not provided by the government but my parents' health insurance covers it and we found a way.

Spent it in the hospital, drugged with some morphine shit that wasn't actually powerful enough to take away the pain.

Pancreatitis is no joke, kids.

I have no idea what SMIT(ty) is, so I'll just smile and nod [smiles and nods]

You tell me, man. Over here in Brazil, seeing a national flag outside the context of "it's world cup match day" generally signals whoever is flying it is a fascist twat.

YaST on OpenSUSE is pretty nice.

Stellaris.

Going to be a space emperor forever.

I still do

";-;" conveys a fundamentally different vibe as compared to 😭, even if both nominally mean "crying"

Same for ":)" vs. 🙂

I am very sorry and promise to do better in the future.

I wish I was more of an animal.

Where's my tail :<

Just like. Slept in a nice clearing they could find. Like animals. Because that's what they were.
