I'm doing my part!
I felt very anxious about the election for months but now it's here... I don't give a fuck. I feel nothing. Who gives a fuck.
I see either outcome as divine punishment for the US so I really don't care at the end of the day.
I don't think anything, shall we say, "exciting" will happen, regardless of the result. 2020 was far more tense. Everyone seems so exhausted this time around.
Soy fascists
BROOO I've been getting into the Sopranos lately and I swear to God I was just gonna look up what Adriana's up to now. Holy shit. And this is lowkey what I expected too lmao.
Edit:
When he brought that Oscar to [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy in Ukraine, I was mortified. Zelenskyy is aligned with the Azov Battalion, and everyone’s crying about racism and this and that. It’s like, ‘Wake up America.’”

I don't know, it's all kind of sad and pathetic. Anyone can become a weird Q MAGA freak. And an OF too? Damn.
It's trash. I maintain one to keep up the normie facade but I only check it on my laptop. I had to delete the app because it just sucks you in. I waste enough time on screens and it was only making it worse. I can't stand the reels format either.
Yeah I've had similar feelings in the past few months, more than normal. Panic attacks and derealization. Reality just feels so arbitrary and unreal.
I agree if they mean it in the Elon "let's heckin colonize Mars and build an epic bitcoin utopia" sense, but I don't see the issue in wanting to explore space out of a sense of curiosity and wonder.
Libs: You're in a cult!
Also libs:
i just hope everyone has a good time
We're American guys, of course we feed someone else's kid 800 calorie costco cookies every day so we can get on TV and become a pro wrestler
the people around me love Israel and complain about woke and invest in the military-industrial complex and watch right-wing media 24/7 
I see a holy war spreading across the planet... a warrior religion that waves the American flag in my father's name... fanatical legions worshiping at the shrine of my father's skull...
We have to vote even harder in 2028!
So I recently finished a hidden gem of a game called The Sea Will Claim Everything, an indie adventure game by Jonas Kyratzes, and wanted to write a quick little review to bring it some attention here. It takes place on the Fortunate Isles in the Lands of Dream, where you meet all sorts of interesting little guys - a talking tree philosopher, Socrates, a dwarf from Middle-earth, a medusa, gender-changing lizards, a druid named The, and so on. It has very charming hand-drawn artwork (done by Jonas's wife, Verena), lovely music, and is both funny and moving.
It's also very explicitly political. The Isles are gripped by an economic crisis and are ruled by corrupt mayors who all serve the interests of Lord Urizen. Austerity has been imposed and goods grow more scarce. All of the characters to some extent have something to say about the state of their world, and a lot of it is clear commentary on the real world. Kyratzes is Greek, so there's some pretty clear parallels to the Greek economic crisis, but that, of course, is but a part of the greater crisis of the 21st century, so it should resonate with anyone even vaguely anti-capitalist.
As for the gameplay, it's a basic adventure game. It's slow-paced and comfy. The controls are all click-based and can be a little awkward at times, and the game largely consists of fetch quests which can be a bit obtuse at points. However, it's not a very long game and it's not terribly difficult, and it's ultimately very much worth playing. It actually affected me in a way much like Disco Elysium - a mirror of our own decaying world inhabited by intriguing, well-written characters that tells a moving story. It's only 10 bucks on Steam so give it a shot.
