Year end holidays are a stressful time to begin with, but even more so if you have a food allergy or sensitivity. Take care of yourselves, and do what you need to to keep yourself safe.

i do think its very funny how, despite multiple players having their "no more mr nice guy" moments, the winner was the guy who decided this was his no more mr mean guy season

you know, the more i think about it, the angrier i get about how mainstream media and even people in general treated marie kondo when the life changing magic of tidying up got big. it's just so unnecessary and sad to me and i think the vast majority of people would love what she has to say if they just actually looked into it instead of maliciously memeing her to death? i'm not talking about the cutesy does it spark joy stuff but all the things portraying her as some bizarre evil cleaning dictator.

i actually read her book when i was about twelve years old, in the most shocking and probably only example of me ever being ahead of a trend, and even at twelve i really loved everything she said. at that point in time i lived in fear of my mother's threats that she would come and throw everything away while i was school, and my small and very adhd mind simply could not grasp the concept of "have less stuff". have less of WHICH stuff? how? i'd never actually been taught how to clean my room besides being told "pick up stuff" and "be organized", and as she points out multiple times, cleaning is not an intuitive thing. it's a learned behavior and skill.

anyways. her entire philosophy centers on surrounding yourself with things that you love, and only things that you love (or things that you absolutely need). she explicitly says over and over again that it is not about throwing things away, it is not about minimalism, it is not about "what is the smallest amount possible that you can survive on". she literally has a whole section where she talks about how hard it can be to throw things away when you've lived in poverty all your life and you don't have absolute confidence that you can replace something that you really needed if it gets thrown out, even though you're not likely to ever really need it--you've just been conditioned to think that because that's literally how you survive, when you're poor. she talks about how that mindset can serve and how it can damage. she talks about how minimalism is sort of a rich people thing, cause they can afford to throw everything away.

this woman really came out here and said "i want you to be surrounded by things you love and i'm going to validate your fears and your difficulties in getting to that place" and people somehow got mad at her. i don't understand it

I don't think it should be legal for Disney to own the Muppets like Kermit is just a guy you can't own a guy

MCC today

[sillysolita]

love that mcc appears to have invented a saw track for streamers (a mostly uncomplicated puzzle game that nonetheless requires critical thinking and also reading instructions)

[sillysolita]

obsessed with the ambient noise from the footsteps of 40 players pacing and jumping as they place their tiles

for those not on tango’s stream btw bbh is having qsmp era flashbacks because he’s pretty sure he’s found a potentially game-changing glitch in damage calcs and is attempting to replicate it even though it could fully take one of his lives

[sillysolita]

feels so wrong that itll be 2025 soon. fake year. science fiction year

[sillysolita]

Can't believe we've got wild life finale and mcc tomorrow. So much emotional investment in block game, imma be exhausted by the end of it all
