More recently, Starstruck Vagabond has your spaceship be your inventory "backpack"--no odd shapes (that I've seen), but some crates can damage their neighbours, some have to be on electrical lines for power, and maybe other variations. Moving crates is the base loop, so it's pretty satisfying

I got very angry, then despairing, when reading this at first. I had to calm myself and remember that the person writing this, who endured these evils firsthand, chooses to continue to advocate, eloquently and forcefully, for justice. Thank you for keeping on fighting.

O human, know that all glass awnings are an affront unto Me, and lo, I shall destroy them all in time. The rocks of my wrath shall be dropped in their multitudes, and none shall know the time or place of their coming. Build ye not these despiséd structures.

Your Honour, this is the face of a hardened criminal. You can easily see the complete lack of remorse for her many crimes; indeed, she revels in it. We ask that you give the maximum time-out.

I'd be a lot more convinced by people's talk about hope versus doom, if they didn't act like it is a binary instead of a spectrum. Degrees of hope, degrees of despair, rather than instantly pretending any expression of one is identical to a childish embrace of one or the other entirely.

PERFORMATIVE DESPAIR IS NOT A POLITICAL STRATEGY. Do not conjure your own imagined demise. In particular, don't do it collectively, on a communication system meant to amplify emotional contagion. (simpler/more esoteric: don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake)

Except pedestrians walking their dog with one of those decapitating wire "flexleash" things. I definitely hate them. I also hate them off the bike, but that's neither here nor there.

So weird that someone would attack a child possessing no notable traits that might have made them more vulnerable to attacks because of persistent hate-mongering against those traits. Totally random thing, very unacceptable.

No-wiper cheat code: Metamucil. But for real, if you know how to meditate, it means you can enjoy, or at least handle, being stuck having to hold still for long periods. Why wouldn't you take advantage?

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.
