honestly i'm just waiting for the boomer generation to keel over and die cause I think even republicans know, once the boomers die the republican party will basically die with it.

hi sorry i have a question. how do you become a person. how do you develop the will to be a person. i have sadly proven unkillable

you have to be sincere. you have to stop being sad that you haven't been killed and take up the burden of loving yourself and taking care of yourself. and when I say love yourself I mean pretend you are an angel sent down by God for the purpose of loving and healing one specific person, yourself. and when I say take care of yourself I mean pretend you are an alien zookeeper and your only job is to look after a single human being in the Earth enclosure, you. after a few years of practicing this, you will develop the ability to like yourself and enjoy your own company, and you'll know enough about yourself to take it from there. I'm ordering you to do this, whether you have the "will" to do it or not, out of pure self-interest, because five years from now it will have made you good company and I prefer the human world to be populated with good companions. little lanterns against the inhospitable night of the age of Iron.

Deeply fucked up that this game (real life) forces you to play a crafting mini-game (cooking) every time you want to replenish your stamina bar.

You can skip the crafting game by using a pre-made consumable if you have them on hand, but high level players will constantly nag you about it and tell you that it damages your character's stats in the long run.

Temeraire's dragons are so sophisticated and respectful but just once would I like to see Temeraire just give Laurence a single full body MLEM. Cleaning him like a kitten. You had a stain there, Laurence. Do not worry. I have done away with it.

Long overdue for a Due South rewatch, gonna do a draw-a-long. Starting with:

The Pilot

This is the scene where Fraser finds out his father has been killed, the origin of the origin story.

One of my favourite moments of the pilot is when Fraser drops the dead caribou on the mortician's table. It is clearly very heavy.

Reports are coming out that Harris is leading in Iowa.

So what does this mean for Iowa voters?

Iowa was red in 2020 and has historically been red. As someone who lives in AZ, a red state that is now a swing state, it is entirely possible to flip a state or at least make the Republican Party sweat. So if you are in Iowa and were considering not voting because “your vote won’t count in a red state anyways”, please get out and vote.

Obviously polls can be inaccurate, but how great would it be if we could flip a state that republicans considered an easy victory?

Iowa also allows same day in person registration!!! So if you are over 18 and a U.S. citizen who resides in Iowa it is not too late! Click here for info on voting in Iowa: https://voterready.iowa.gov/registertovote/

delighted by the discovery of the concept of "doomed by the narrative but your friends are punching the narrative in the face and you're fine now"
