#4Games I worked on as a designer, ok. One of those was my earliest design credit (1998!). One of those was my first big budget title. One of those was the most miserable project I worked on. One of those I worked on for 9 years!

@MarvelStrikeF The current mess of all recent events and content has me severely disincentivized to spend any money...

@chrisseltzer @hankgreen Perhaps they SHOULDN'T be offering that "service", at least for non-check transactions (and wild to me checks are still a thing). It's easy for them to approve a series of $10 transactions you can't cover when the bank just sees an opportunity to charge you $30 for each one.

@hankgreen I mean ... I think we need a massive change in the banking system but I'm not sure capping overdraft fees at $5 is going to do that... Arguably banks will just stop offering overdraft?

I think it cannot be overstated that this rule is /fine/ but also the way they let the lawyers be in charge to the extent that they have to use insane language like "cap fees to as low as $5" is embarrassing. Here is the actual rule: They may charge a flat overdraft fee of up to $5 OR They may charge a fee that covers their costs and losses. OR They may charge any fee so long as they disclose the terms of the overdraft loan the way they would for any other loan, typically expressed as an annual percentage rate, or APR. I have no idea what any of that means. I don't know if it's good or bad or better or worse. But some lawyer was like "Look, if we just cap the overdraft fee, they'll sue us and win" and, honestly, who cares. Just pass the rule and let the banks sue you to make the lives of Americans more miserable, and then make a YouTube video saying "THE BANKS SUED US TO MAKE YOUR LIFE MORE MISERABLE." If we keep making the rules of this nation frustratingly impenetrable, citizens will choose to keep handing power over to fascists.

@chewytactical @DirtyEffinHippy Less likely than you might think! 😂 (Honey is one of the foods most commonly fraudulent or adulterated.) theguardian.com/food/2024/nov/…

@DirtyEffinHippy Honey!? In my honey bottle!?

i don’t know what i expected but this was way funnier than it should be in my noggin’

@GailSimone I am professionally obligated at the moment to not name the fandom that I most totally don't grok. 🙃 But beyond that... Buffy. Firefly. The boy wizard by the queen of Terf Island before we even knew what a terrible person she is. Lost. Billie Elish.

Name a fandom that totally passed you by, or you simply didn't get, or that you just missed the timing of for reasons you don't even know.

@Darcy_Bono I have never understood the cursed color of the relish that only seems to exist there, but I cannot begrudge the awesomeness of a Chicago Dog!

Otw home for Thanksgiving. Got me a Chicago Dog baybeeeeee! It may look like the food version of a Hellpit Abomination, but there are few regional foods I love more.

@stinemomo @WielerfanRTM Seriously. I managed to mostly follow the folks I wanted to follow this last week. Now just hoping I find the energy to actually put up some posts over there tomorrow. And followed, of course - I wouldn't know anything at all about pro cycling without your posts! 😂

@SloaneFragment Biggest hurdle for me is that my office has access to bsky blocked but not this dumpster fire. 🙃

@SloaneFragment FWIW, some of the cool af stuff - especially when he decided to have the City start performing gay marriages because he was in a unique position to do so - made me quite a supporter. But I am tired of the other half, and just tired of him anymore.

@SloaneFragment As a long time California resident when he used to be my mayor in San Francisco... That's about right...

@SloaneFragment I had never used that stuff until a month ago when it was part of my mandated surgery prep. In sensitive areas. The results were... unkind. 😭

@CSynthemesc @SloaneFragment Top shelf answer! 💜

@SloaneFragment Smaller than it was before the estradiol

Yes. Hell, I cut most of my relatives out of my life for this years ago, and have no regrets. One of the best things I ever did. And "opposite political opinions" is a hell of a way to soft sell rampant bigotry and fascist sympathies .

@stinemomo Same. Such an honest and vulnerable answer. 💜 And yeah, the only song of of his I know and listen to is 'There's Nothing Holding Me Back' which you turned me on to a few years back.

@ZenOfDesign Counterpoint: Their fries is the only thing about them that isn't terrible. 😋

Well, their fries are garbage for starters.

@SloaneFragment I very much understand the feeling - I feel the same about the States. It's a failed nation I don't ever wish to return to.

As someone said, "The Dreamcast didn't fail. We failed the Dreamcast." Let's celebrate this short-lived, excellent system. "The End of the Dream, P1" 8x8" oil over acrylic on illustration board 🧵1/9

We artists haven't started applying for these shows next year, but I'll try to do all three if I can! Until then, see you NEXT WEEK!

@Altermerea @SloaneFragment For monotherapy which is why I went back on an ultra low dose of androcour for a while. But as of 7 hours ago, any consideration of any blocker is happily never again an issue! 😊

@Altermerea @SloaneFragment I will say that divigel had yielded better results than I expected, at least at the amount my endo put me on (which I gather is less conservative a dose than many get here). So much better than the patches I was on. I feel like my results were just shy of what I would have need..
