Oh fuck you. If you live in a suburb or anything not a big city no one really cares if you go in and take a piss but in major cities its mission impossible to find somewhere 2 piss for free.

And then you wonder why people just piss and shit in the street.

“And remember: the sky is the limit! You can be anything you want to be!”

“Thank you. I want to be a secretary.”

That stopped them short. “What?”

“A secretary,” she repeated.

“But…” they trailed off, dumbfounded. “Why? You could be a CEO, a scientist, a law–”

“I don’t want to be a CEO,” she said. “I want to be a secretary.”

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

Please tell me the eating the note story, I'm so curious

A friend of mine had a really really shitty toxic abusive ex who sent her a love note and flowers during a party and she came over to me with big moony eyes over how sweet the gesture was and I was like “but you’re not thinking of getting together again, right” and she didn’t answer, and when I went go hand her the note back our other friend said “do NOT give it to her” and she was like “haha no it’s fine im not gonna” and they started arguing over whether or not I could give it back so I panicked and instinctively put it in my mouth. They both stopped and stared at me so I had to double down and actually eat it. It was cardstock too so it took an awkwardly long time to chew down. It tasted bad but after the awkward passed we all had a good laugh about it. They did not in fact end up getting back together. I wrote a short comic about it

People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from

the 1997 Anastasia film decided rasputin made a better villain than the bolsheviks and i’m still reeling over the fact an american company was given a once-in-a-lifetime historically justified reason to vilify communism and they SKIPPED it
