Yeah, this exactly. That's the feeling I'm getting. Maybe there's a reasonable explanation, but maybe the road to hell is lined with "benefit of the doubt".

must have been great to wake up

Have you heard of "expanding earth theory"?

I want to stress that these are all very funny dreams. A "you had to be there" thing. Like, I am simply the victim of a Bugs Bunny or a Clown perhaps, but there is no malicious intent.

sure but that's just what self acceptance is. you're already doing stellar

Update: I am just playing "Sonic Adventure 2 Battle" again.

This style of Sonic game translates really well, and I think it's because the levels are navigable at-speed. I think having small segments to explore, interspersed with "hold forward here" sections, is a really smart idea.

And that opening level really holds up as one of the best of all time. Sorry Doom E1M1, there's a reason you aren't an opening level so beloved that it's casually and consistently remade like Mario 1-1 or Green Hills.

The casual absurdity and destruction is fun. The game is so janky but so charming.

Within context, this sounds like they're talking specifically about those inside the Executive branch of the United States:

But the further down the ranks you go, the more pervasive the anger at the US’s complicity in mass slaughter becomes. An entire contingent of junior White House staffers, for instance, made up a “staffer bloc” in pro-ceasefire demonstrations in Washington, DC. As a former US diplomat, I know that many people have resigned quietly and anonymously over Gaza. Many want to quit but literally don’t know what other work they’d be qualified for. These administrators—the ones who make up most of the foreign policy bureaucracy that the Obama administration derided as “the Blob”—are the ones angriest about American policy in Gaza. They are also the ones who can do the least about it, and they know it.

(That said, I have only read part of this article so far)

These are many points in the Mania camp!

I appreciate this breakdown, I remember Mania receiving a lot of love.

I definitely tried to play the original a few times over the years but I never understood how Sonic was meant to be played. The levels in most 2D Sonics seem to zip by too fast for me to meaningfully interact with them. I think I might start with Mania and then move back

!!! Incredibly cool. Thank you Shadow the Hedgehog for this Plural Pride thread

(yoooo i'm plural too, plural high five)

(i still stand with Shadow the Hedgehog of course)

Sonic moves too fast for me. This might be the Sonic for me

a classic

i made it up

the thinking is that the recommendation schedule is built around assuming herd immunity, and so it doesn't matter if efficacy wears off over the years

All I know is, the smaller they are, the easier to peel and the more scrumptuous.

🔴fuck yeah!!!!🔵

1. i assume netboot is magic and that's beautiful

Also consider this an open offer for me to give you my Raspberry Pis for free. I think they would be better suited in your hands than in mine!

i have gone to one "play" "party" and so i am an authority on this matter. this is what happened irl

social contract was we treated him like a dog. which turns out to be total adoration

water sports is jetskiing

"mommy kink" is when someone tells you they're so so proud of you. and that you are inherently worthy of love as a person.

tell me more about this americano wamericano....

update: it is christmas and i stand by the "christmas is fascist" stuff

now fall in line and prostrate yourself to white santa

• throw immigrants and trans people under the bus at the earliest possible moment
• white men have feelings and they still aren't coddled enough
