Ok they weren't all racist. Racism is the basic premise for Lovecraft for sure.

The circumstances of this photo are obviously bizarre and uncomfortable, and fuck fascism and fuck war, but smoking hot is smoking hot.

Vise grip hasn't been oiled since my dad told me to do it thirty years ago. Ah! All those metrics are starving!

This cat with the PC running around unfettered. Scaring all the cats and dogs.

If it exists, you wouldn't see it, because it would be proprietary. It probably does exist, but it's useless.

While this is technically correct, it still doesn't matter. I have built my own high end PCs in the past and it is a huge waste. I'm not even sold on the steam deck yet - I do all my non- critical stuff like lemmy on this 10 year old shit tablet running Android 7

There's obviously a zillion open source games you could add, but I'm partial to pixel dungeon and its many variants

Lmao friend, you probably did well to say nothing and not participate. But please don't forget: you got good ideas

I have been to Springfield, Oh. I delivered heavy equipment to the city administrators. The place has no drama.

As a kid I just wanted to read weird old shit. LOTR, Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, you can guess where this is going. I still can't let go of my childhood Lovecraft nightmares. I am aware most of that is stupid and racist and misguided. But strip that hateful garbage out, you still have a lot

Addendum I f'd up and didn't mention my adoration for Ursula K. Leguin

Even better: get homeless; log in from shelter WiFi. Actually from experience, it doesn't matter. You are a consumer. Being homeless doesn't exclude you from the marketplace. I got a free "obamaphone" while in a shelter. That shit is infested with popups.

Go camping and it is so chill and sweet to hear owls talking to each other across a distance.

 
 

background: staying in a roadside motel in the US. Man and Woman in the next room are screaming at each other. 1:30 in the morning. Not my problem.

But I did get voyeuristic and plant my ear on the wall. Most I could comprehend was "your daughter, but what about MY daughter?" from the woman. That's what I thought I heard.

I was like, if I am certain I can tell that someone is beating on someone, and trying to kill them, or you know just violence is happening, then I'll call 911. but I was far from certain. all i could discern was crying and screaming.

Hour later, someone is pounding on my door. is it someone in distress? I am in the least accessible and least desirable room in the place. It's probably one of those two neighbors, but which one?

Anyways, I'm in the US, so I have one or more guns, but I don't keep them loaded or accessible. by the time I had something ready, I think the neighbors were about to pass out. they currently are quiet after hours of screaming.

So I'm not a fan of cops, but not entirely against them. Situations in which I did call the cops:

-Neighbors were screaming at each other, 3 a.m.; their 6-year-old girl was out in the street crying.

-I heard broken glass and looked out the window, and saw a pair of big man's boots going into what I thought was a single woman's apartment.
