why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.

I saw someone referencing that "what if a game with the depth of Disco Elysium but about finding lost cat in the Alps" tweet (to mock it, natch), and it finally made me figure out why I get angry when people mock that tweet
The reason we don't have games like that is not because they couldn't exist. It's a workers' rights issue.

You just know one day one of these polls is going to pit @derinthescarletpescatarian and myself against each other and the anguished screaming from our overlapping readership is going to be audible from space.

For $300 would you poop on your neighbor's lawn or walkway?
nonnie is this a kink thing? It's a kink thing, isn't it
#I read this as more of a choice.#Like: is $300 enough to poop on the lawn rather than the walkway#or vice versa

Okay, so, have I been missing something incredibly obvious this whole time? In Guards, Guards!
Errol, who's the tiny dragon with way more fight in him than his size would suggest he's capable of, even if he was that belligerent.
Against The Dragon which is huge, majestic, in possession (at least in theory) of a mighty hoard of wealth, typically associated with the nobility, and finds herself rather taken by this small ball of Fight.
That's a metaphor for Sam and Sybil, isn't it?
It's only taken me 20-fucking-years.

Shoutout to this customer at work who didn't know the difference between a bolt and a yard of fabric and put in an order for 8 bolts and then freaked out when it got here and said she didn't want it. we have enough burlap to clothe a small village because of you. What the fuck are we supposed to do with this. We could make individual sacks for every fucking potato in Idaho. We could supply table runners to every single rustic themed white lady pinterest wedding in the continental united states and still have enough to become a rice bag manufacturer. I hope you dream in burlap

Ok, I realised the punchline around the time the Black Gate was mentioned, but the delivery and editing to the theme is perfection.
