That video of Carsie Blanton hooked me on her. This is folk music, y’all.

Maybe being in Early Access is why I behave differently with Subnautica 2. I manually save and then exit without saving because, illogically, “I remember exaCtlY wHAt I was dOing at the moment I manually saved, but who knows what the Save & Exit option will do to my saves list without my permission, or where it’ll drop me upon loading as compared to loading my manual save.”

And yet I affirm that every single time I go to load a save, there’s an identical non-manual save parked right above my actual manual save. Can’t tell if it’s an actual separate autosave or just a duplicated view of my manual save, though occasionally I notice two different time stamps (I assume from unsaved Exits I performed when drowning) and my brain says “AHAA! Not catching ME slacking” as I proudly load the manual save.

Just dumb fun brain arguments that only persist because I’m not hurting anyone (else).

A half measure

Didn’t the founders call it project freedom?

And now’s the time to pause it. Got it.

So to you Monsiour Candy I say Goodbye.

Clearly I’m a RA fanboy, but I look at the state of the world and I hear their songs, and they’re the same picture. I can’t ignore their music.

(ehem…except for the new Ricochet album with its questionable production decisions)

Once one accepts that non-binary (NB?) people have the same humanity as any other person, a potential partner’s AGAB matters less. That’s my experience, anyway.

I’m demisexual, attracted to stereotypically feminine or androgynous bodies, and I’ve seen a number of very cute, penis-bearing women. If I had an emotional connection with a NB person or transwoman with the aforementioned body type, I think it’d be fun and exciting to see if we click romantically/sexually.

The ruling is good stuff, but the article says that the GARM entity folded - old news yet news to me. That’s an effect Musk aimed for, and got.

GARM (Global Alliance for Responsible Media) was a nonprofit purported to help businesses avoid having their brands advertised alongside bad content that may damage the brand. Bad Content Incorporated heard about it, and now GARM is no more.

1.99 game, now 8.99 just for you!

I misread the headline’s “abuse” as a verb, and it felt equally feasible.

Would John Oliver be interested

I remember Craig’s face from the PBS commercials/postcredits for Dinosaur Train. Years passed, then I was force feeding my kids Hey Arnold! and saw Craig Bartlett in the credits. Had to look him up and was happy to see it’s the same guy.

Like a contest to determine who gets to marry Texas’s 14 year old daughters.

I once drove cross country in the US from my home in the Ohio valley to the California coast. I have never been on an airplane and had only traveled to the biomes of Appalachia, Great Lakes, or Floridian beach.

I had a wonderful (spiritual?) experience driving through the New Mexico desert. I had never seen so much LAND visible from my point of view, and I got lucky to see this while driving westward at sunrise. Even after seeing the Grand Canyon on this same trip, I wasn’t as affected as I was when I saw the expansive desert.

I am a tall Caucasian male though, so I had a built-in sense of security. It can be a tenuous plan for plucky youngsters, especially young women, safety-wise.

I view your pics all the time and today I just wanna say I admire your commitment and enthusiasm. <3

Andy Beshear is gonna wield the same thing in the presidential race.

“Jesus Camp” is just a dive into evangelical child indoctrination camps, in the George W Bush era. One scene has this prayer circle of children praying to a cardboard cutout of W.

It’s arguably not constructive, but I’d say it’s more a mirror to reflect towards a MAGA viewer “Look - this is you now.”
