    my roommate's boyfriend just went on a conspiracy rant. she had him on speakerphone. it was the craziest shit i've ever heard. i think this might have been qanon stuff? he was saying like, don't you ever notice the little q in the corner while watching tv? all the world's rich people traffic in children as sex slaves and epstein was part of it- but so was oprah and so is justin trudeau. they're all in it to overthrow donald, as he's the only one trying to expose them.

    i don't even think this counts as politics because he didn't actually say anything in support of the president, or about his policies. but holy shit.

    it was drug addict on the street crazy. one of the most surreal things i've ever heard. he goes like ok well i'm getting tired- tomorrow i'll send you some stuff to read about all this. my roommate says ok, hangs up, looks at me- 'am i gonna have to break up with my boyfriend of four years'

    uh, maybe yes!

    But he had to take off his left glove to shoot bees at Spider-Man

    Also he appears to have eyeballs and teeth

    where did he get the eyeballs and teeth from

    Oh I forgot to mention, not only is he a pile of bees with a purple cape, he’s also a nazi skeleton that’s animated by a pile of bees with a purple cape

    Because I forget every year: You only need to report IRA or 401(k) stuff if you do stuff outside of your employer or you cash it, right?

    So I don't need to hunt down forms on horrible websites?

    New PC parts: ORDERED

    Just have to wait like two weeks to get it all. And of course the motherboard is coming last. Gotta shop for better case fans and maybe an RGB strip in the meantime?

    It was the 70s. Every villain had gloves and a cape.

    The eyeballs were obviously ping-pong balls like a muppet

    Democrats scored a significant victory in Wisconsin on Monday night when a liberal challenger upset a Trump-backed incumbent to win a State Supreme Court seat, a down-ballot race that illustrated strong turnout and vote-by-mail efforts in a presidential battleground state.

    The victory, by upward of 120,000 votes as of Monday night, came as a shock to Republicans and Democrats alike in Wisconsin, where contests for president, governor and the state’s high court in the last four years have all been decided by about 30,000 votes or less. It followed weeks of Democratic anger over Republicans’ insistence on holding elections amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    The voting rights thread is closed so I just want to celebrate this quietly here ( Hakkekage )

    While reducing voting numbers is generally good for republicans, I wonder if they ended up sabotaging themselves, since their older demo is much more at risk of covid and perhaps less likely to risk going out to crowded polls.

    Will be interesting to see what the voter turnout looks like when the numbers get crunched

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    I'm sat here trying to wrap my coconut around the little q in the corner of the TV, trying to figure out what the fuck that could be. Best I got is the power symbol, looks kinda like a capital Q if your eyes are busted, I guess. But he did specifically say "little" q, so it can't be capitalized.

    Oh brilliant

    Like every other personality defect, habitual belief in conspiracies is due to an extremely fragile ego that searches desperately for fulfillment, to the point of substituting its own reality of which it has mastery over.

    It amazes me just how far we've gone down the rabbit hole now. People who I knew were fiscally conservative or even socially conservative are now bat-shit-crazy, spewing rabid conspires about how china is trying to poison us and how we should all go back to work or the terrorist win.

    We live in strange times.

    Yeah, after listening to some Reply All episodes about conspiracy theories, I've stopped believing that they are harmless fun (I never thought they were fun or interesting but thought that other people could indulge in them as a fun eccentric habit or w/e) and have decided that they promote dangerous non-reality-based thinking and harmful attitudes. Also my people are often targeted (you mean lizard people, were you not just talking about how you don't make your own body heat? ok yes but no I mean the jews obviously) and that tends to feel not harmless.

    Death Stranding is hecka bleak, but also very uplifting and heartwarming. There's no negative feedback, it ends up feeling kinda cosy in a weird way.

    FF7 Remake is wonderful so far! Some of the expanded material can feel a little bit bloated, but it's the good kind. One of my favorite new additions:
    on the way to bomb Reactor 5, there's a new section where the party has to navigate the underside of a Plate. The elevator up needs power, so they got to reroute it from some "Sun Lamps" which are exactly what they sound like; massive lightbulbs to provide daylight to the slums.

    That's some dope shit, finally explains that key art for FF7 of the massive lights coming out of the Shinra building... though it doesn't really clarify why those ones were angled sideways and above the plate, I suppose ;p

    Oh brilliant

    Hmm... Maybe I'll just have to finally finish my playthrough of Mad Max or revisit Doom? Alas, both are topical at the moment I'd say! Can't decide on anything in particular. I just wanna punch something real good and not work through a whole coreography chart of tactics and strategy, ala God of War. (perfect game, btw)

    I kind of want to see an adaptation of mother night by Kurt Vonnegut with Donald Trump in the Howard W Campbell Jr role.
