@DACDAC4DAC Don't look now, but you're currently demanding that others who don't know you change their lives so you don't have to, because you're afraid to make even minor concessions to public safety. We're still dealing with this pandemic because of people like you.

@rdonoghue One of my favorite things about Witcher 3 is that Geralt is the main character, but it's really Ciri's story.

Struggling a bit with the paradox of player character as protagonist. On one hand, you absolutely should center the player experience, but on the other, I personally find games that really lean into that unengaging. Totally a taste thing.

Today my son found some old dried up pieces of paper and declared them maps and that we would follow them. I asked him where, and he said "California." California, it turns out, is the vacant building down on the corner.

@ShoshanaKessock Right, but then - and hear me out on this - then you add the smell of rotting garbage.

Who in the world thinks that scented garbage bags is a thing? It smells like a chemical factory and a perfume factory had a horrifying monster baby.

@BusinessInsider Why is Business Insider so bad at figuring out what people have been screaming for years?

@petercalloway I read the whole thread, and the summary is: left-wing lawyer believes people who have money should not expect to live more comfortably than those who don’t have it. My core question is, “why not?”

THREAD: There’s a lot of talk right now about crime in San Francisco. Almost everything you’ll read in the mainstream press is wrong. I live in the Tenderloin and work in the courts every day. Here’s my take on what’s happening and why.

In most video games, you learn not to fuck with bears. It's a bit of a meme at this point. Elden Ring ups the ante. I've killed three demigods, six or seven dragons, and countless unfathomable horrors. But bears? Those things still scare me.

Even now, I feel a bit like I'm doing the, "Cis white dudes are the real victims here" thing, and that's not my intent. So I'll just say that a lot of my social interactions are characterized by some combination of anxiety, guilt, and feeling like an outsider and leave it there.

I'm silencing myself because I don't want to seem like I'm doing the "not all men" thing, while simultaneously being aware of how low the bar can be for me, and not wanting to take advantage.

This hit me hard. It's super isolating being a man, and gets worse the more aware you become of the reasons. Rejecting toxic masculinity is a constant, conscious struggle, a process of unlearning things you thought were fundamental truths.
