:D

Did the hot bath help? :(

how is it working so far?

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/12/a-slice-of-charles-and-dianas-wedding-cake-has-sold-for-2500.html This was the story that was being reported on the radio!

do you think he still does this

coming back to this:

i've tried therapy a few times since this. i was convinced by (1) rick and morty's "pickle rick" episode, and then (2) "call her daddy" the podcast.

the first time, i felt very much like i was having color-by-numbers being done on me.

the second time, they almost explicitly told me, "i'm only here to prescribe conditions so people can get medical marijuana or other drugs. that's why these sessions cost $200 and aren't covered by insurance. we usually don't do second sessions"

this most recent time, i feel like i'm very much having color-by-numbers being done on me.

i don't have anxiety! i'm socially confident and i don't need to work on that! i'm not depressed! i don't want to spend 10 hours and $300 across two months building rapport! i have "crazy brain" and i'd like to work on that please!

I've been thinking about the "free the nipple" movement as I've started to develop breasts.

"Free the nipple" seemed like an obvious, discrete, small, and easily-attainable Feminism Win.

There are a few states where you can technically go topless after a federal win in the 2010s, but even then, so much of public life is on private property, both online and in person. And the stigma is still pretty huge.

You can sexualize breasts, that's fine. There are plenty of body parts that are sexy. People with great forearms are allowed to sleeveless, you can walk around with a bikini bottom that shows off your entire ass and legs. And for the foot fetishists out there, I imagine it must be really hard to visit a place like the beach.

But nipples, apparently, are still obscene. Ugh.

And now, with the Supreme Court the way it is, and with society backsliding so hard, I don't think we'll see even this. It's not like "free the nipple" is the only metric in the Feminism Barometer, but man.

You'd think, "Hey men, you'll get to see more titties if women get this one right! And hey, human rights are even more important than that! Human rights are good!" would be a winning argument. But nope.

Tomorrow, the 31st. First day is the 1st. B)

SOMEONE'S gotta fix all the AI-generated mistakes my coworkers have committed!!

(this is an exaggerated statement) (i am just being silly, i love my coworkers) (not happy about the AI stuff though)

need an update on this

First, this is sitting at +1 upvotes and -9 downvotes. I am one of the downvotes. I've no idea which of these post-powered president-fucking forum freaks have voted this revolting post up.

Second, Jimmy Carter is... Oh no... Ohhoho ... Ohhnno...

Jimmy Carter is 100.25 years old, and his electability has diminished but the DNC is keeping its options open

Desktops never, my phone and router almost always, laptops usually (especially my Apple laptop, which seems to have good idle battery use)

You're telling me Vegeta is a plant woman??

My favorite quote from Sonic the Hedgehog is when Sonic said "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog"

My favorite quote from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is when Robotnik said "I'll get you, Tails! And Sonic the Hedgehog, too!"

My favorite quote from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is when Sonic said, "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! Three of us are here to kick your butt!"

Please do talk to a doctor about that, that actually sounds bad and scary. I hope it's nothing

If that voiceline was in the game, I wouldn't have been able to tell, because of the audio mixing

Update: WOW that's a bad game

It does a few things very well, but this game is defined by jank. It was bad in 2001 and it's unplayable in 2024. Every moment that felt good is subverted by the horrible controls. It's damning that this is the best of the 3D Sonics, too.

The Sonic/Shadow levels are good, the Tails/Eggman levels would be okay if it weren't for the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEPBEEEEEEEEPBEEEEEEEP, and the Knuckles/Rouge levels bring the whole thing down.

I have so much positive memory of this game that I threw away by playing it again. This one should have cooked a lot, lot longer.

I wish I had more good things to say about this. Chao Garden is the best part of the game though

chrimas

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.
