A Rather Bewildered Owl

well, I just discovered that the reason the internet at my job stops randomly working is because the parental control software IT uses will randomly block and unblock DNS servers.

someone used the word "floor" as a proper noun and I started crying.

thanks for that, @jamesgunn.bsky.social

#TheOuterWorlds2 is a thrilling exploration of a conflict between what Republicans think communism is, capitalists with only slightly less self awareness than they currently have, and Autism.

just met someone so fucking stupid that they *almost* made me believe in eugenics.

after many tense chase sequences where the family is nearly caught, they finally make a mistake and are caught. the screen cuts to black. then, a sliver of light shines on the family as a door opens. the camera pans around and we see the gates to Auschwitz. the monsters were just Nazis all along.

horror movie idea: a family is hiding from "monsters" in dark attics and shadowy basements, constantly on the run with many close calls where the monsters nearly find them. the audience never sees the monsters, they're always just out of frame, but the family is absolutely terrified of them. 1/x

live in the city and one learns vital social skills.

live in a rural area and one learns practical skills.

but what does one learn in the suburbs? paranoia and isolationism?

zoboomafoo lookin' mothafucker.

I have come to the disturbing realization that people are forming parasocial relationships with fictional characters and that's why media literacy has gone to shit.

god damn it, Hellmire is under attack again.

y'all ever been to a party that only ended once the national guard showed up? I have. it was alright.

Unless they're saying "watch me do a sick flip" as they jump off a tall building.

"Won't someone think of the children?!" the parents scream.

"Ok, you first," I reply.

"NO!" the parents scream back.

they think that because mill is an unreliable wincon that it can never do anything. meanwhile my entire point is just that it's obnoxious to play against. mostly because it's an unreliable wincon and is mostly just an obnoxious hindrance to me playing the game.

one guy literally said milling good cards isn't bad because you could've milled bad cards instead. like what the fuck. if hypotheticals make things good then anything your opponent plays against you is good because something else could've happened.

once again trying to explain to redditors that mill is actually obnoxious to play against and they're using their failure to understand statistics as cope to convince themselves it's not.

born on a Monday

same. I don't like this feeling.

can some moderately popular youtuber do a video on how the US customary system actually makes sense in the context it was developed in? I'm really tired of explaining it to redditors. also they never listen to me because they only believe youtube videos now.

JFC, redditors think getting milled in MTG is a good thing BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR ONE DECK ARCHETYPE. if you're not playing a recursion or reanimate heavy deck mill is bad, but they were told it's good in this one situation by a YouTuber or something and now it's good to be milled. fucking idiots.

complained that the way Blue plays in magic is oppressive and unfun and was told by a bunch of blue players to just "get good." which according to the things they're saying means to only play black/blue decks specifically to counter blue players. god these nerds are dumb.

oh thank goodness, he's dead now.

remember kids, the only good fascist is a dead fascist.

a screenshot of Hearts of Iron 4 showing the leader of Fascist New Zealand, who looks absolutely terrifying.

JFC, Fascist New Zealand is terrifying and it's all because of this man.

as the Mexican tanks roll across Germany into Poland, the Polish people attempt to slow us down by destroying their industry. a pitiful attempt, as the MSR controls two continents and does not need inferior Polish technology to fuel the worker's war machine.

at 0200 onApril 29th, 1959 the armored divisions of the Mexican Socialist Republic army seized Been and the capitalist Swiss government conceded to the superiority of Mexican socialism.

should've stayed neutral, bud. actually who am I kidding, we were coming no matter they did.

#HeartsOfIron4

my internet is being stupid so now of course all the programs installed on my PC that don't require the Internet to function won't work. makes perfect sense.

cuban expats in florida are saying Trump is acting like Fidel despite the fact that Trump is doing literally the opposite of everything Fidel did. anticommunists are such a fucking joke.

the USA is now the leader of an islamist faction?

TFW you're playing HOI4 and Nazi Germany falls and Hitler dies in September of 1936.

I do not expect Italy to carry things very far the Axis.

new calendar system idea, 13 months of 28 days, and every 4 years we tack on an extra 5 days. during those 5 days we just throw some super crazy ass parties. like the sort of parties no one remembers until years later when it all comes rushing back all at once in some kind of acid flashback.
