  So apparently some guy named Mike Johnson told the US Senate that they can't come to work for the next 3 months straight, conveniently after the midterm election is done. They were about to fire Pete from ruling over the Pentagon, but then Mike stepped up and said, "Nope! No one can work anymore!" And the response of every US senator, including the one you elected, was "OK Mr. Jones. Have a lovely day!" And then they all meekly shuffled out of the Capitol Building to enj...

  Can't emphasize this enough, with a combination of hormones and dietary adjustments you can control your own growth rate. I don't know about transgender or anything, but any parent who isn't informing their child that they get to decide how short they will be is a bad parent, and someone needs to save that kid from them. If you have to be a certain height forever, you ought to at least have some say over what that height is, and there is no other time in your life you can do so. No t...

  Just because there shouldn't be a vote, doesn't mean you should not vote, if you are powerless to stop a vote from happening. What we need is to free our essential needs from national control. Only when people can get what they need, without the express permission of the federal government, do you have any hope of putting a stop to it. The USA was a bad idea and remains a bad idea, so figure out solutions that make it irrelevant. Whether you vote has no bearing on any of these solutions...

  Well I wasn't there so I won't speculate. Sorry if I seemed like I knew what I was talking about. I think the whole instant messaging paradigm is flawed tbh. We need slow, deliberate, composed messaging.

  Ah, theguardian.com, engaging in historical revisionism rewriting history to ignore all the extended care for aged parents we've been doing since humanity came into existence, so that they can justify mass extermination of the weak and elderly. Classy.

  Even that limit was totallly arbitrary. They were like "We got a few extra bits in the packets, so sure why not? And they'll pay 10 cents a pop! 🍭" The character limit was always about draining our attention, keeping us too busy to organize, and rewarding us for shitposting. Can't be typing on your brand new Portable Smart Phone, can you? You're far too busy and important to take your time! Hurry up!

  I'm joking, yes. And also criticizing those servers. But honestly, I don't like writing super long posts. I feel like I'm ignoring people and not letting them get in a word edgewise. When I consider ranting about something in long form, I try to write a little bit at a time, and give people a chance to respond before writing more. Make it a conversation instead of an essay. Or sometimes if I just don't care I'll splurg it all out and hope that nobody bothers reading that shi...

  That's a sort of relationship that develops between any company and a modding community, though Bethesda is one of the worst. (So how's the modding going in Minecraft? (screams of the damned)) It's very toxic, and companies shouldn't be allowed to profit from a game that other people helped create. Even if those people are idiots who worship the company for some reason.
