I genuinely wracked my brain trying to think of child characters in triple A games that were done well and I think it's pretty much just Ellie in The last of us? I think there's only a few outside AAA, and even less if you go younger than teen. Probably just Clementine from the walking dead

Make of that what you will, but it's both bad journalism and bad business to report the news and pay effectively zero attention to a really, really major story. If you, institutionally, don't think it's a big deal, then have some stones and say why.

Intentional understaffing at workplaces is incredibly cruel, damaging to workers, and dangerous to everyone.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

make sure to tell em' to grab some bear spray, and that the best way to make sure the spray works is to test it in a shower.

This got a loud pop too. Trans colors were all over the place and not just being flown by young folks.

I'm sorry but the WSOF trophy(a boost mobile phone you could use to call your weed hookup in 2008) was the best imo

Pork shoulder is coming along. Cooked 40 hours at 165f/74c in the sous vide, then put in an ice bath to get down to 35f/1.5c to firm up a bit and make it take on smoke better. Just getting back up to 165f/74c with the applewood smoke for texture and flavor

In 2020 when I said Democrats should refuse to seat Republicans I was told if they did that nothing would stop Republicans from doing the same.

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

You want to understand how bad it was? The government and media started to call Frontline workers 'heroes'. In America they usually call people a heroes to make it OK when they die

I was a vendor in retail stores during COVID. I visited hundreds of stores around New England. I saw the staff of these get literally decimated. I had so many stores because my team lost 8/12 people, mostly to pulling out of the workforce for safety reason but a few died.

There's a whole lot of people who didn't work with the public during COVID, so their experience of it was mostly from inside the walls of their homes or from workplaces mostly cut off from the outside. For a huge amount of people it was just weather happening elsewhere.

there’s a thread on reddit right now called “was COVID really that bad?” and it is interesting to read people’s accounts five years out

there seems to be a collective trauma response where people (outside of healthcare workers) don’t remember how many people died

someone called it anticlimactic

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important
