edit: fair warning I’m not doing great so I’m more prone to doomposting. which this is. anyway:

We Balkanize, the good bits get snatched up by other nation states, and the shit bits get snatched up by private militias. Or, with no conventional munitions left to defend ourselves we start a start a nuclear war. Or, slim chance here, people vote against this despite Democrats sabotaging the process and then hold them accountable for consistently fucking this up for the last forever, and we reach a kind of degraded equilibrium, american empire declines, chinese empire rises, and MLs tie themselves in knots trying to justify China doing thebjinds if things necessary for maintaining a global empire

Oh, and the Enlightenment dies. Like you think its dead now, just wait.

If I got isekaid I’d go Connecticut Yankee on their ass. Yes, I am insufferable. No, I will not be changing. Your fantasy world will be industrialized. I am the evil wizard. I cast steam engine.

you know what? you’re right, I really shouldn’t be browsing Lemmy at work

He can’t play PoE2 either

Dear Lord, please grant me this level of pettiness and the presence of mind to wield that pettiness only against those who deserve it. Amen.

Interestingly I fill the same niche here as I did in the IRL BH ward, which is checking in voluntarily for personal reasons and realizing that I am fairly sane, comparatively speaking, and probably could have saved a lot of money by just taking a vacation before I burned out.

please donate to “teaching cats to read.” Every day, thousands of our four legged friends take unnecessary tumbles that could be avoided if they could understand human signs. Join us in creating a world free of feline slip-and-fall injuries. And also a world where Garfield finally learns “who that’s for”

I like that idea, it’s very human.

Love the detail of the toothpick breaking under the strain

Toast is great. I wish I knew who first had the thought to cook bread twice. Did they want more crust? Were they trying to make bread last longer? What was their favorite kind of bread? Did they come up with putting butter on it or was that an innovation from a second, even more brilliant mind? I have so many questions to ask them, I hope the afterlife is real

Can’t wait to see what he does with this epiphany. No, literally, I can’t wait, I have stuff I want to get done in the next eternity.

New incredibly niche conspiracy theory just dropped

You can see in his eyes. He knows exactly what that clip will be used for. The people’s poster.

even if I knew nothing else about Israeli occupation the fact that they call mass killing “mowing the lawn” is enough to know they’re doing crimes against humanity

Simply unalign yourself from the 3d plane and peer through the inter dimensional fence. When a being of 3+n dimensions (where n>1) passes by, ask them if you may see the list of all tesseracts in existence. Prepare for a lot of rejection, most higher-dimensional beings are dickbags who don’t respect us. Be sure to wear goggles or they’ll try to spit on you, and believe you me you do not want 5d saliva in your cranial cavity.

Also, the tesseract list is very long but simultaneously compressed into a single point, so the only way to read it is all at once. Be ready for that. You might want to call ahead to nearby inpatient psychiatric services and tell them you’re about to go quite mad.

Not anymore you dont

I’m new here so please let me know if this isn’t the thread for general blogposting. I realized today that it’s been 3 weeks since I hard capped myself at one drink per day. There have been a couple times I stepped off the wagon - one was an indulgence for celebration, one was a slip up where i used it to cope with something, and one where I ordered a mocktail but was misunderstood. But no more killing sixers. No more morning anxiety about my behavior the night before. I’d be proud of myself if I didn’t feel like shit. Regardless, not drinking today.

Ah yes, but our wetnurse is squeamish. Best that we do not trade hands, seems like dreadful business.

sir, I’m a poster,

(depression is coming back and all of my hobbies are exhausting now)

I’m concerned you may have taken my reply as a plea. Dear sir, it was not a plea, rather it was a warning. Attempt to obtain her digits (palms, knuckles, etc) and you yourself may be unhanded.

also I’m sorry you’re feeling low. post through it til you’re sober buddy. This is a good thread.
