  • I’ve been teaching my 5 year old man cala. He’s gotten good enough at it that he saw my last move was going to win and he silently stood up and walked away from the table. I asked him “hey aren’t you going to say good game?” And he said “but it WASNT a good game!” Gaming never changes.

    We’re expecting a new addition to the family soon so pretty excited about that. I think we’re ready but there’s always new surprises or things I’ve blocked out from having a newborn in the house.






  • I am painted as unrealistic

    This shit gets me. I get called “too idealistic” and my response is what does that even mean? I think it’s too idealistic for the few to benefit from the work of the many. Seems unsustainable which fits right in to the definitions of idealistic. I think it’s idealistic for the Dems to expect a vote when they can’t give even token concessions. “Unrealistic” get the fuck out of here 70 years ago we’d be blowing ourselves up in a world war for some crusty declining nobles (and soon we might be told to do it again!) now we watch complete strangers appear to entertain us for 30 seconds and evaporate forever on tiktok wtf do we know about realistic.

    This hollow “community” of Democrats will happily cannibalize anyone without a second thought. The least I expect from my lib friends is to vote third party or shut up. Capitalism is a disease. Thanks for ranting so I could rant too


  • A lot of men are misdirected to “misandry” partly because the media use of patriarchy does not address the pressures that men face in this system. Bell hooks really covers it better than I can, but a lot of men in the west have been raised to be big strong emotionless mean men, and to not conform to that mold can mean being lower on the ladder or social ostracizing in some of the nastier social/work circles. It is poisonous for them - they get more money and more treats in exchange for their dehumanized and emotionally stunted existence. Even beyond just acknowledging that its fucked up to exploit people, men have justified grievances against patriarchy that outweigh the material benefits they garner. If that understanding was better attached to the word “patriarchy” I think it would filter out the redeemable people from the “misandry” believer bucket.



  • I had a bad time playing deadlock. I told my lane partner to focus last hitting while I zone the others. This person I frequently don’t get along with (and wasn’t playing) said I was micro managing. It threw off the whole game for me and probably everyone else. I don’t want to walk on eggshells when playing a game and I feel like my lane partner could tell me no if they disagreed.

    I don’t think I was coming off as controlling but what I like most about games is making calls and discussing whether it’s the right play or not. I’m still mad about it. I’m not even that good at the game but here I am analyzing if what I said came off correctly or if I was being a bad typical freeze-gamer or not cri
