I was at a pride march early sunmer and there was a "Iranian government protest" that I randomly came across. What made it clear for me that these 'protests' are influence campaigns by some other state were the music was pure AI (it sounded exactly like "we are charlie kirk"), a pride flag, a Israeli flag, and a Ukrainian flag. Waving a USA flag would have looked like it was in its natural habitat.

Seeing all the people holding lion and sun flags listening to an american AI song wailing about some bullshit and I don't know how anyone can believe these protests aren't orchestrated by some foreign government. There's nothing genuine about them!

    Gonna do some science as a vegan, sober person working a physical job. Trying to eat healthy and stuff. I wanna see how big you can get just by working and eating right. Aspiring to get a Soviet worker propaganda physique.

    do you like card games?

    game design for card games is fascinating.

    I made a card game with some help from friends. Its called "cards with rules."
    Everyone gets the same number of cards (dealer decides)
    The remainder of the deck is placed in the middle and the top card is laid face up that number is the "rule card."
    Anyone who plays that number gets to make up a rule. (it has to be a fair rule not like "I win") the majority can decide a rule is not fair but they have to dispute the rule based off fairness not just because they don't like it. ( So "i get to play 2 cards next turn" could be disputed, but "Everyone gets to play 2 cards next turn" would be fine or "if you play a 7 you can play any other card" )
    some classic rules: if you have to pick up cards you have to pick up 3, or if you play a 7 skip the next person's turn, or if you play a face card you can place any card, you can play all the cards of the same number as long as the first one matches suit, If you play a face card you have to drink, If you say any word starting with the letter S you have to pick up 2 cards, all the rules are gone
    You play any number or suit that matches the last card played, If you cannot play you pick up one from the deck. If the deck runs out the face up cards (except the last one played) are shuffled.
    Rules must be enforced before the next person plays. trying to dodge a rule is fair play.
    The first person out of cards wins.

    Oh, I haven't played MTG. I should at least get the app on mobile.

    Are there any other TCGs out there? I only ever hear about MTG and I guess the TCG that Yu-Gi-Oh is based off of (oh, and I guess Pokémon).

    Nintendo or Nintendon't?

    Switch 2 is the question.

    Either way, Shiggy needs me to give Nintendo $450 so I can help him eat tonight.

    (Such a shame his family got left out of that yacht of his but, hey, there's only room for one when it comes to a lavish gourmet dinner that costs $450, amirite?)

    I dreamed someone was riding a log down a flooded river for fun with my kitten that was murdered, so that when the log rolled I lost her again. Very weird dream, but I had seen her pictures a day or so before and felt bittersweet, so I guess it makes sense.

    My dreams sometimes are trying address something in my life, but for me it is usually to the point of being somewhat obvious. However, I have a headache everyday, so I always forget about it anyway.

    Every single day in The Netherlands, Russia is in the news. Mass psychosis at this point. Even the AFD victory had more concerns for them being pro Russia instead of them being literal Nazi's.

    Today was Brazil's independence day. I thought about being a little rebel and going to march into the parade but I really thought about how it isn't worth it to get shunned by my politics-averse cult. Maybe next year, if Brazil is still sovereign lol.

    I had a bit of free time and decided to reread it. It is probably more my sheer burnout preventing me from taking action. But I feel at least somewhat more rested, or rather able to function, now. Like my revolutionary fire has been relit.
