Congrats β you're sober. It will take a while for your body to remember how to metabolize anything that isn't sugar from alcohol, so you're going to be pretty ravenous soon. Eat plenty. You can expect your coordination and balance to improve in a couple of weeks. In two months, you might start sleeping like a normal person. Full recovery will take years, though. Itβll be depressing. And itβll be boring. Donβt expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.

Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
Getting through kiwami 2 I can see why they kiwami'd this one, not a huge spoiler to say but in like a dragon you visit pretty much all the places here in that game so it's easier to justify this game not to mention yakuza 2 being stuck on ps2 and all. I don't know if 3 would be that hard since once you got kamarocho then you're half done in the hub and 4 is all kamorocho 5 is were it has more areas but as with all these games you always head back to kamorocho anyway.
I know that it's slop-brained but I want to see a superhero story with actual realism for once. Superpowers exist for reasons xyz, it ultimately doesn't matter I'm willing to suspend my disbelief for the magic bullshit. How did powers come into being? What effects did it have on the development of society if nuclear level threats are something humanity has had to deal with for potentially hundreds of years? How is damage from kaijus dealt with? I want to see the ways society would fundamentally alter if this shit actually happened and it was actually taken seriously. Fuck it, take different countries and see how different reactions and actions shape how their society handles it. I'm sure stories like it exist but they always end up full of or they just never take thoughts to any actual conclusions and I want the writer to be cool for once
Boku no hero academia lol
I started the show and enjoyed it but fell off after season 3 or 4 because I got bored of waiting. The show has bits of what I'm talking about with the hero registry and schooling system and things of that nature, I just don't remember them getting into things in a way that was satisfying. It was still stuck in the trappings of shonen. I could be completely wrong though, I still need to finish the show
No, I feel the same way
So watchman but theres more actual superheroes than a God?
Watchmen but thorough? Like almost a sociological examination on a society with superhumans. In Watchmen, I don't remember them actually talking about society pre/post superhumans and the changes that would be necessary to create some kind of a stable society. It's always just everything is exactly the same as it is now but also superpowers which feels shallow.
The change from having a work I can walk to to not has affected my fitness level but not my walking pace. Iβm not getting winded but itβs still kinda funny to walk at what is a leisurely pace to me and get sweaty and have my heart rate get pretty high.
You can work to work?
edit: should've kept the funny typo
nobody looked at the cool video about pantograph mills I posted
was it a waffle iron vid?
Yeah, the cool part is the tool more than the product though
I do enjoy that channel
I watched it! I just didn't have anything to add, really, because I'm not remotely handy in that way (a lot of the technical details went over my head), but it was super neat learning about the pantograph and seeing the dude troubleshoot things. I'm always blown away by the ingenuity of engineers in the days before integrated circuits and how much they were able to accomplish through pure mechanics (the secret is often cams! So many cams!). And I love that it was all in service of something silly--that's most of the projects I work on, too, although I haven't done anything nearly as difficult or cool as this one.
I'm not that interested in learning machining, personally, but seeing projects like this makes me want to get back into learning electronics (like soldering and designing circuits and stuff) so I can build things on my own. Kinda hit a wall and got frustrated and gave up, but...if at first you don't succeed, try try again.
The coolest part, for me, was how a pantograph mill plus a 3d printer makes an ersatz CNC mill. That synergy between two technologies that didn't practically coexist in time is amazing.
The pantograph even replicated the faceting of the STL!
Try tinkering with microcontrollers, it's an easy on ramp to electronics hobby projects
Got deep into anbennar lore and Aelnar is really easily most fucked up and scary, elf zionist ass faction (luckily they canonically got reduced to 1 floating castle)
I may have finally gotten a job, but itβs a seasonal position so Iβm making an effort to still apply and take the odd interview.
Does anyone else hate when rejection emails always have the βwe received soooo many applicationsβ bullshit? Like is it a demoralization technique, how is this necessary?
To me it reads βWeβre spoiled for choice. Fuck you.β and people wonder why thereβs a youth unemployment problem? Because you need to meet 100% of the qualifications and beat out hundreds if not thousands for any given job.
It's so you know just competitive the job market is. Everyone wants to work for us
I really do hate that though.
Things like that always bring me back to a single line from The Oblongs of all things, where a lying character is like "Hm? Sorry, I was just thinking about my hundreds of boyfriends"
I saw a cool bird today. It surprisingly wasn't scared of me at all so I could take a few pictures, and it only left after I had finally taken a good one (seen below).
what a cute little bird!!! you got such a great photo too
So pretty!
There are parts of When serfs stood up in Tibet that read like Tom Lehrer wrote them
young squirrels are too brave. one just took a few steps in through my window but freaked out when i gasped and ran right back outside. the older squirrels know not to come inside so I was really surprised
Having to speak in coded language about basically every topic is starting to get really mentally burdensome. Marxism is great for becoming a moral agent and being conscious of yourself and the world, but it's extremely lonely when you can see what the problem someone has and can't guide them to the truth because they'll either ignore you, misunderstand the point or superficially pretend to understand it, or attack you in some form.
At that point it's better to limit your interactions with them
I FUCKING LOVE SHALLOW UNDERSTANDING FROM PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL, IT DOESNT BEWILDER ME AT ALL
If the USSR were in the mix today then shit would be so different. They'd have invented a space vacation destination. FOSS would make silicone valley impossible. China would have a buddy. America couldn't bully people. The world would be a little bit happier
I do wonder how 9/11 and the iraq war might've gone down if the USSR held on but had to lick it's wounds for a decade after 1991. The USSR condemned the Gulf War in real life, it just fell apart after that.
I really think we mightve had where China is at now 15 years earlier with the USSR if it had managed to navigate the crisis successfully. Maybe it had to have the coup successful in '91 I dunno.
I'm learning that the complexities run deeper than the jokes I'm flinging around give it credit for. Turns out there were ways the USSR was... le bad! and a couple ways China was... le bad! Far be it from me to pass substantial judgement on A(existed)S, but it's heartbreaking when you see gestures vaguely
Yeah but also Russians would have never gotten to enjoy Pizza Hut so I think we might live in the world that's best for everyone.
(me when outside of pizza hut delivery radius)
Chicken jockey!

Papal Conclave!
Stormtroopers in super space hell when they see vader goes to jedi heaven
"Ain't no rule says the dog can't become Pope"
Hearing the late Jessica Walter in my head "Do you want ants? Thats how you get ants!" I spilled coffee everywhere last night, basically smacked that cup down. Still cleaning up the splatter!
The 10th star wars movie should start with aboleth/yuuzhan vong/the griss gather up all stormtroopers, declare them cringe, and kill them so hard they get wiped from existence that no obe remembers them
