IT’S NOT DIFFERENT AT ALL, IS IT STEVE?

Boris sounds like a cool guy, I wish I had a Boris.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Not to mention, fully consenting Latinas! I know “not being a rapist” is a really low bar to clear, but for a wealthy, male, politically-connected American in 2026? Fantastic. Wonderful. Groundbreaking.

it’s just the usual “hurr durr anything smaller than .45 is for girls” bullshit. Usually espoused by the sort of ancient old farts who remember carrying one in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam; and who dislike the general shift to smaller bullets going faster because they don’t understand terminal ballistics.

Precisely what I mean. If it were a high enough dose to notice, we’d all be tripping balls. If it weren’t, I would assume everyone to just be mildly more pleasant. And uh… that is absolutely not what is happening. Nobody in the news is pleasant right now. At all. I’m certainly not having a great time, are you?

I’m like 50% certain (as someone who has not partaken in the substances which I’m about to talk out my ass regarding) that OOP must’ve simply meant something less… kosher, shall we say – PCP? Bath salts? Cocaine? Some other drug that would actually account for the insanity? As far as I know LSD is a vastly more pleasant experience than whatever the fuck is going on in the world right now, unless you’re taking really massive doses, in which case… I think things would be arguably less coherent, though you’ve absolutely got me stumped as to how the current news cycle could be more insane than it already is.

Like, I know MKULTRA isn’t that obscure, but I also think it’s possible they just don’t know their drugs.

I’d like to think I’d notice if the world suddenly went all kaleidoscope on me, actually.

Wouldn’t that be the Seal of Disapproval, then? The Seal of Approval sounds like an easy mark.

I’ll never get over how some people whiteknight for soulless corporations that not only don’t give a fuck about them but actively hold them in contempt, yes, the internet is a silly place.

no, you don’t understand, as Take Two and R* quite happily also take down free mods.

for the umpteenth time, quit making mods for games that are developed by asshats. Take Two/R* very clearly don’t want a healthy community surrounding and supporting their games as evidenced by virtually every decision they make regarding community modding efforts, stop trying to give them one; spend your time making mods for better games. Or better still, go from modding games to creating them and you could develop your vision without the constraints of someone else’s IP. But for the love of fuck stop giving time and effort to these people who will deliberately squander it.

If you have a swiss army knife with one, use the awl to punch a new hole in the belt. Worked great for me.

Well, if you have an awl handy you could always just make new notches. That’s what I did when I had a belt that didn’t have a hole at the right spacing for me.

Counter-counterpoint: if you, on the other hand, wrap your lips around the spigot while drinking – you have exactly ten seconds to get the fuck out of my sight you absolute gremlin.

I mean, your “starting ingredients” as it were definitely came from someone’s nethers, but I suppose if you want to be pedantic.

Nearly?

If you’re regularly getting accosted by magic trees in your daily life, I would gently suggest either a psychiatric appointment or a trip to rehab.

part of me wants to believe somewhere down the line, days, weeks, months, years – they’ll have a sudden realization in the shower or before bed, and never stop cringing internally

the more realistic part of me knows in my heart that that moment may never come without being gently prodded towards it.

“Why do we even have that space suit?”
