Sorry, I forgot you’re the exception to the rule. No one else has ever had to deal with medical issues preventing them from having children, as well as not having a home. You’re the main character and everyone else can “fuck off”.

I’ll let you get back to your little pity party, dealing with the effects of your choices. I hope you can make a nice profit on your current home, since that’s clearly what you want.

You’re not a cockroach, but you should have considered attempting to move before conceiving. You were in a privileged position, not because you were capable enough to find a decent job, which you are and should be proud of, but that you have a whole home for your family already. No one forced you to add an additional member, and thus feel overcrowded. There are consequences to your decisions.

I’m not comparing you to an oligarch, but you have to understand that many young adults who want to own just their first home simply can’t.

One could sit straight if they had some morals to prop themselves up, in the event they don’t have a spine.

Oh, wait…

I’ll never understand people like this. Most of us will never own a home at this rate. Yet there are folks, who already own their home, who are complaining they can’t switch their home like it’s some trading-card game. They’re part of the problem.

Look at that f u c k i n g fireplace mantel; that used to have class to it’s decor. Every administration took pride in giving the Oval Office their touch. Look at Jimmy Carter’s office:

Carter had a clean, understated look. Obama and Biden took a lot of inspiration from the Carter administration.

Now our national office looks like it was decorated by a 12 year old boy still clinging onto all of his T-ball participation trophies he “won” over half a decade ago.

Before you say anything, yes, I know this is such a non-issue in the face of all the actual issues being engineered by this technocratic regime, but… I’m tired, boss. I’ve been screaming about this for years and now the only energy I have left is to pedantically nit-pick the decor choices of US federal administrations. Life is… non-ideal.

What the absolute fuck am I supposed to do with that information?

Nothing. It is culturally-engineered, inflammatory “headlines” meant to overwhelm your emotional response. It is a very common propaganda technique successfully used by big media for decades. Big media is owned by the Bourgeoisie , who very much want you to be tired and conforming.

So the answer is simple: do your best to ignore it. Get your news from a few trusted, un-biased sources and block the rest.

I lived in Suburbia as a child. Happiness is a thin veneer over the contempt the majority of neighbors feel for each other.

I lived in rural towns for much of my young adult life. Monopolized utilities and services, as well as the issue of small-town indoctrination, were reliably present.

I currently live in a metro. The rampant corruption and vehicle-oriented culture are noxious.

I guess I want to live in outer space. It’s pretty quiet up there and I’d imagine it doesn’t really smell all that bad.

Can’t fucking trust any of them to do the right thing at the right time. It’s always because they’re too fucking stupid to critically think before shit gets bad. Every single Republican should be removed from Congress, one way or another. They just can’t handle the job.

It’s not so much an NPC, but the lore behind them: the Keller Tapes from F3. It leaves a lot to the imagination of how horrifying running from an atomic bomb would be.

Edit: it’s F3 not F4

Allow me to exercise our first constitutional right:

In my opinion ICE is a sycophantic, family-destroying, hate-fueled agency intent on filling it’s ranks with slavering, rabid dogs focused solely on ripping people apart. Here’s a hashtag for you: #normalizeICEhate

How do I integrate the trigonometric function sin^7(x)cos4(x)?

It is an America problem. The insurrectionists are, whether we like it or not, US American citizens. The issue has been the decades long systematic reeducation (“un”-education is apropos) of the public-school system. Educated people don’t participate in wanton destruction. That huge demographic of stupid people grew up and voted and now here we are.

100% agree we have an unfair fight with an opponent who doesn’t play by the rules.

It’s their job to speak for the masses, that’s the point of being elected in a democratic authority. If only hushed whispers are spoken in a room full of aggressive baboons, who is going to hear that voice of reason? Law follows precedence and there is no precedence for a coup of the US American government, so what rule of law are they exactly following? The status quo? We need to get uncomfortable, only then will things change.

“Revolutions are the produce of passion, not of sober and tranquil reason.” ~ William Godwin.

I regret to inform you that I am a US American. From my POV living in this country, most US Americans actually like being dominated. I’m pretty vocal about this stuff in my daily life and I hate admitting how often I get told to “just shut up and deal with it, nothing will change”. We’re all too complacent from the gilded decades of post-war economy booms, engorged from all the wealth our government has stolen from other nations. Couple that with the rampant censorship of the past two decades; it’s easy to see the writing on the wall. We’re lazy, fat and stupid and it’s all by design.

I truly believe we’ve moved beyond the precipice and are now on a direct course to the collapse of the American Federal Oligarchy (aka the US government), where the ultra-rich will fully rape our land of all resources and then attempt to assimilate into another country to rinse and repeat.

Unless there is a nation-wide rallying call by a significant authority figure, like there should be by any one of these weak-ass “democratic” politicians, then the American general populace will continue to bitch about it online and that will be the end of the very short but wild history of USA Democracy.

I wish Sanders and AOC would take a more concrete approach to tackling this issue. Talk is cheap, now more than ever. Most Americans who are aware of the coup just need a rallying call.

So shrimp are just sea hot dogs. Got it.

I would do this, specifically for pollinators (i.e. honeybees, hummingbirds, butterflies, bats). They co-habitate fairly well and vertebrate pollinators help keep insect pest populations under control.

A nice bonus would be to add a sizeable water feature to encourage dragonfly growth. Of course, this all depends on the geography.

the Zelda material is super sad for me as well because my late baby sister and I bonded tightly over the Zelda games

First off, I hope you have been able to find your solace. Losing family sucks, but when it’s someone that close to you it frankly changes you. This internet stranger’s heart is with you, FWIW.

My brother and I bonded over the Zelda franchise (specifically the OoT/MM era, plus WW). We grew up rough, weren’t sure if we would even make it to our thirties, and those adventure games helped us escape from some pretty crappy experiences. To us, it’s more than a franchise: it’s a culture.

Link is (usually) never the same character in the games; they’re like reincarnations. Being a Link doesn’t mean being one singular person. To me, being a Link means being steadfast, flexible, compassionate and, above all, adventurous. Things anyone can do/be, and that’s why I think the Zelda franchise fosters some truly amazing gamers when they play those games. Although I do find myself regularly curbing the invasive thoughts to break people’s pots… small price to pay!

I digress, the explosive prevalence of the Internet has led to printed walkthrough manuals being a thing of the Early Aughts. Ahh, it’s great getting older!
