So what happened is I was looking for a built in leftist-enough faction to play and zeroed in on 'rational consensus.' And one of them critters are called the Lacertan Techno-Protectorate. And they sounded cool. The race achieved FTL at the same time they caught the Children of Men disease and it's a race to trans-alien-ism before your population dies out.

Well my population died out! And I managed to (20 months late) get the (dangerous) technology that lets you have Elon Hype AI run shit (therefore having the capacity to house my backed-up population on material world artificial bodies). But I never figured out how to build mechanical bodies so my population of Ghosts in the Shells never got above tiny! And the instant I found another faction next to me I got absolutely stomped!

So then I rerolled the exact same build and made the galaxy bigger. sicko-blur

[I was going to megathread this but after a moment's thought I guess it's substantial enough to be a post.]

I'm sort of a smol scared and alone type of creature right now so I'm nervous about asserting it... I have a lot of questions.

Long winded unhappy storyI'm not doing so great financially, and part of what's going on is I keep calling out from work with muscle strains and stuff. Here's a story: During our rush season this last December, my DSP was pushed out the parking lot at the warehouse to an off-site location. This meant that in addition to all of the other things we did in the morning, we also had to drive 10 minutes between places. THIS WAS NOT ACCOMMODATED BY CLOCKING IN 10 MINUTES EARLIER. And this compounded with a long running beef I've had with the 'actual' amazon employees just ignoring our wave times and pulling us in as much as 15 minutes early. The latter has been going on for the last year at least and has made it so I could only sometimes stretch out before a shift. With the off-site parking, I literally haven't been able to in over a month.

So let me complain about this incident really quickly to add context to my situation now. I work Christmas Eve and I really skid over the finish line. My shoulder is sore enough that by the time my next shift rolls around on new year's eve it still doesn't feel good enough to use. HOWEVER my DSP pushes a notification to everyone that they're going to retaliate with suspension/firing anyone who calls out that day, because no hookie. So I work injured. I basically try to not use that arm as much as possible. Regardless it got fucked up pretty bad. Bad enough that I called out for (fri-sat) the last two days I worked that week at the same time. WELL THEY DECIDED TO JUST TAKE ME OFF THE SCHEDULE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK AFTER THAT WITHOUT ASKING ME OR SAYING ANYTHING. So basically they did textbook retaliation on me? (truth be told I probably needed the time to mend properly...) (I guess I should clarify to people with real jobs that I get my schedule for the week starting Sunday the Xth on Friday the (X-2)nd)

So, my patient reader, that brings you current with last week; me sitting on my ass at home for 9 consecutive days. This probably contributed (or caused..) my hip being sore on this week's Sunday when I went in for my first shift in a WHILE. So again I'm trying to avoid using the body part that hurts. I fail. As is my custom, I take my second 15 minute break at the end of my shift to change into clean clothes, and as I reach down to change my sock BIG UGLY PAIN in my side happens. I have thrown out my hip. I barely get myself home before the true ordeal begins.

So I come to you now having spent the last 4 days practically bedridden, needing to take breaks from strenuous activities such as not being prone in bed by laying prone in bed for hours at a time. The first night I could barely drag my dead weight ass into position and not without an 8 or a 9 on the pain face diagram. Every day has been better but on today, my first shift scheduled since the injury, I still feel the mild tingling soreness. And I know it's only going to get worse over the course of the day so I can't work.

[end of spoiler]

So I already texted the call-in number for work with a vague "I'm not feeling well enough to do my shift" message. I'm hesitating before I pull the trigger on asking the HR Manager/Owner for the worker's comp form. If you skipped the tl;dr spoiler, I missed over a week of wages this month already so I feel financially pressured into doing SOMETHING so I'm not the one holding the bag here. But can you do worker's comp if you're (hoping) not to miss a significant amount of work? SHOULD I just take another whole week-ass period off, weighing the 'of course you idiot' of my health with the 'these are monsters you're dealing with' of my life in capitalist hell?

Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, cited heightened attention on fraud allegations in Minnesota

Late last month, a video from right-wing influencer Nick Shirley went viral, alleging fraud at child care facilities in Minnesota. After the video went viral, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it would freeze all federal child care payments to the state. Days later, Minnesota's Department of Children, Youth, and Families said that investigators found the child care facilities in question "were operating as expected."

"the political gamesmanship we’re seeing from Republicans is only making that fight harder to win. But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all," he said. "Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences."

pooh-wtf

I don't find fault in changing the names because of the history, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a little bummed out by the direction of this. It feels like having your sweets taken away and replaced with vegetables.

This is a story about depression and a child having access to an adult's loaded gun dressed up to be a novel tech moral panic.

Remember in 2004 we all took for granted that as soon as something went online it could never be deleted fully?

Yes. The single individual. Forcing this country of over a billion people against their will to have their own sustainable food supply. On his own. Like a dictator.

Did you coup their democratically elected leader in 2014 for democracy too?

Is that why you sent them weapons to persecute an ethnic cleansing in their borders for eight years? For democracy?

Americans are the most propagandized people in the entire history of the world.
