I was involved in beta-reading the first draft of this. And it was good then, but Christian didn't feel it was up to spec and took it back to the shop and overhauled it entirely.

So the final product should be even better!

Clippy just wanted to help. He was like a toddler. Sometimes he can't help and sometimes he made mistakes, and he would be persistent about trying, but his intentions were sincere.

I keep hearing people talk about how good Hoppers are.

Fuck them! You encounter those things about 5 minutes into the fucking game and the damage they do is basically up there with Security-2 Bots, an enemy you won't see until the last 15% of the game!

Is wearing your own merch baseball cap and fucking with your buttons during a dignified transfer ceremony acceptable?

Cuz I recall the GOP losing their minds over the 'disrespect for the troops' by the Coffee Salute.

And the 'disrespect to the presidency' by Tan Suitgate and No coatgate.

A sick joke – Hawk and Awe

Political thoughts about how pathetic the current US political situation is. How despite all our talk of "Strong institutions" and "It can't happen here", it did, it started years ago, people are still arguing about it.

And all it took was a nepobaby failson who was kicked upstairs his whole life.

#336: 06-12-00 GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT OVER NIXON PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS

Even if he wasn't trying to sell it to adversaries, he was CLEARLY trying to get a Nixon-style buyback.

John Roberts and Mitch "Gravedigger of American Democracy" McConnell can whinge all they want about Trump being out of control...but they built the throne, they're only mad who's sitting on it.

Susan Collins said "He learned his lesson" from the 1st impeachment.

I agree he did learn, just that the lesson was "I can do whatever I want."

And getting re-elected after "conspiracy to overthrow the government" and "stealing TS-SCI data and trying to sell it", well.

Reinforced.

Never been very good at Zerg in Starcraft. Used to main Terran but was terrible. Eventually switched to Protoss in SC2 and got into Gold-3 Rank 3 in 2017. Back when I still gamed without a mouse.

So I know 3rax and 4gate. But by the time I get 12pool, my enemy has an army. Help please?

hey pets, this is your report that we've applied for the brasilian poverty aid, and will be receiving money. in 1 to 3 months.

until then, we need money to buy food and other groceries, instead of plain bread, so we'd appreciate any donations if you people are willing to give.πŸ’•πŸ’Έ

It just took me time to analyze, and as I've aged, I fully agree. Any clean good ending would have been a disservice to the readers and the story you'd built.

We didn't get what we wanted as an ending...but at least in my case, I got the ending I needed to think about.

Also since I'm here, I was one of the fans in summer 2001 who was disappointed by the ending. Then I saw your amazingly prescient letter on why you did it.

And as I've grown, I agree. Given the deconstructive nature of the series, a clean happy ending would have been literary malpractice.

Congrats! No Wisconsin stop this time. Loved your talk last time!

You said to keep trying at writing, and I did, and I recently got a piece accepted for publication! Small zine online, first issue, publicity only...but I'm just doing it as a hobby and that's fine to start. :D

This.

I stopped being super-cute about my identity a while back, I've made enough mistakes since 2002.

My primary threat case is someone going Tsutomu Shimomura on me, and being cute with my friends about details won't stop that. Or the government or businesses.

They know if they want to.

So last year I finally put my chars up on Refsheet.net.

Just in time for it to decide to shut down.

I am going to try and do it on my own website now, but does anyone have a template or wordpress plugin that might help?

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research.

@atlasbun.bsky.social Furthermore, when SSI was added in 1972, the limit was 1500.

$1500 in 1972 is over $11600 dollars in today's purchasing power. For many people thats about three months of post-tax wages, and far better.

Think of it this way. I have cheap rent at $800 today. If someone on SSI was here and wanted to move, they need rent for current place, rent for new place, and security deposit. Huh, that's $2400, and we haven't even booked the movers yet.

Very easy to get trapped.

I understand how it works, yes. I have had secondhand experience with this.

But that doesn't fully account either, as there were different bills then (nobody had internet service or a cell phone or a streaming service) and many items were not as inflated by price gouging.

19.02.2026 04:28 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Do this. The limit was last updated in 1989 and let's say that $2K went a lot farther then vs. now.
