Is there anything more fitting than Europe and America tearing themselves apart over nothing. They ruled the world for a couple centuries and made everyone miserable but now they just burnout fighting themselves. It's like a fucking Stephen King novel ending or something.

Anyways, keep doing nothing and winning Xi. xigma-male

That reply isn't a refutation. All he had to do was post like one thing he enjoys for simple pleasure.

doomer yeah it feels like my vacations just exist to give me enough time to heal from my body's slow deterioration under the normal workflow. Only to immediately find myself exhausted and sore within a couple weeks.

Hey everyone, we all love crosscode right?

Well the developers have released about a hour from the beginning of their next game. Alabaster Dawn. It looks beautiful, plays very nice. No idea if the story will be good but I'm liking the early bit anyways. Just thought I'd share since no one has posted about it yet.

A damning statement on the level of discourse that is allowed on forum/discussion websites and are seen as the mainstream. The expectation from the powers that be that we can never be uncivil to those in those positions of power. Like how senators constantly demand they are called the right honourable, despite the position never holding any honour at all.

So you see the average person who sees our family and friends casually thrown into pits without any civility or honour and then when some obvious asshole finally gets got, they refuse to let us revel in it. They block the posts, they broadcast across the mainstream media and independent media how we have to show respect because actually these ghouls who have caused untold misery on a scale that an average person can barely fathom are actually just like us. Well if their just like us then we should get to piss on their fucking grace in a public forum.

And that why when they die you get ding dong the witch is dead hitting the number 1 spot on the BBC radio most requested song after Thatcher croaked. And likewise we have music subreddits being the only Avenue of protest against the prohibition against incivility. The average person who has been hurt by these public figures wants to dance on their grave. Just fucking let us.

Anyways fuck Kirk, may he rot in piss.

I work retail and make 22 bucks an hour. It's fine. I get by with assistance from a partner. I don't think I'll ever own a house.

But there's no way in hell you ever get 48 hours. You can't get 38 hours. Hell I'm lucky if I get 30 hours. I do get benefits. Because we have union.

48 hours a week retail will break your body. You're either standing not moving at all and that fucks you. Or youre stocking shelves with giant ass heavy shit bending down to uncomfortable stances and ruining your knees, back, shoulders and probably something else. It is not an easy job physically.

the-democrat But inflation has gone down! And the wage growth has never been higher. The economy is actually booming and you stupid plebs don't even know it!

Nice of you to stop by and offer us some unprompted advice that we've totally never heard before.

Causally reading my city's subreddit and the reddit-logo really just jumped out as I was reading a story about police recovering alot of stolen items from one homeless guy. The usual, "oh why can't we solve this?" Without any clue, suggestions of more police, more mental health institutions, except the heavily down voted guy who said the obvious "give them homes!" That pissed off all the people who I assume are threatened by people having safe places to live.

The thing that really broke my brain was a heavily upvoted comment about how we really need to set these bad folks straight, you know break them through work, and literally wrote out "work shall.set them free". And I'm done with my local subreddit for a long while now. 50 upvotes, the guy who calls it out as being a fucking literal Nazis concentration camp motto is down voted and I can't even anymore.

Unsurprisingly over on reddit-logo you had dork gamers decrying the developer for denying the profits to the IP owner. Like literally arguing that the game would not have been made if publisher has not provided funding... But like it definitely wouldn't have been made if the developer hadn't made it. Some people are so far gone.

Hilary Clinton's agents have struck. They swapped out the potion of focus and clarity, with a drowsy and befuddled potion.

So you might have heard that Calgary is currently under heavy water restrictions due to a feeder water main suffering a catastrophic leak that flooded parts of the city, a 2m wide pipe. They initially told us to expect at least a week for repairs to be finished. But as of yesterday we learned the damage is more severe and expect another 3-5 weeks of water restrictions.

It has sucked, and the only thing that was bearable was maybe we could all better understand how to limit our use of essential resources. Well except that significant portions have refused to believe it and increased water usage. So we've been running on a thin line to barely not exceed water reserves for the city.

And the main thought going through my mind is the inability of our government to handle it because there are certain assumptions that have been made. Chiefly that we cannot allow this to impact the economy, or local businesses. So theyre exempt from the water restrictions, although several did take steps to help. Notably my employer, the largest grocery store in Canada, has been completely silent and hasn't even bothered to donate water bottles or something to help offset the water limits on people.

Any attempt to ask for the city to have businesses shut off to prevent the loss of our water has been met with a cry of liberal piggies explaining how they could not possibly survive without their paycheques... Like there is no thoughts that maybe we could just pay people to not work and they could preserve the precarious water situation by giving people an easier time? I also fully expect most of them refuse to go without brunch or fancy dinners out on the town. Treats before anything else!

Basically there is no vision for better solutions because everyone needs to work to get paid and any attempt around it is shouted down as impossible. It is further hindered of course by the Alberta provincial government being so far right wing that the very idea of even asking them for assistance is a fools errand when our premier is highly likely to promote conspiracy theories about the water main break.

This also is further proof of the failure of western powers to bother with maintaining basic infrastructure to ensure this shit doesn't happen. Supposedly the pipe was checked in April, but this is literally a pipe installed in the 1970s and so considering all the issues they're discovering (but not disclosing, which just feeds the conspiracy narrative), the maintenance has been far below sufficient to say the least. But because it is underground it is out of sight out of mind.

Sorry for the rant but nobody in my home or work wants to listen to me. And I've needed to get this off my chest and my work has conveniently given me far more hours than I can comfortably handle in the next 3 weeks so I'm not in a great state of mind.

Death to Canada.

The r/worldnews post about this was pretty peak Reddit brain. Frothing at the mouth with demand for Muslims to be genocided across the globe. Never change Reddit.

I just found it very peculiar that they were complaining about how they had abducted all these female observers, the people who were supposed to be watching Gaza for attacks. Like how did they all get fucking caught? Weren't they watching? They suck so much that they get their asses captured and then the media is like "they targetted the women!" No they took out the sentries on guard because they're at war with them. Are they supposed to ignore women soldiers or something?

Israelis can't stop screaming about how shitty they are at war now it seems, between the woman trying to blame a ten year old for killing fifty soldiers or how they totally didn't get owned by Hamas soldiers, they just blew up their own squad with a tank... Failsons running a military.
