@liquidusmira I should probably play my copy of that some day

context to my earlier post: i was racially profiled on my way home from work today because i'm brown and have a beard so a cop literally followed me from my store across town to another store because he thought i was doing a terrorism. literally was following me until I parked. saw me get out of my car, THEN made a u-turn and left the parking lot.

@scribus The county sheriff would probably help Myers find teenagers to kill tbh, they're worse than useless.

Got a note from a Republican running for office in my district claiming to want me to reach out to chat with him about his platform. Did just that, because his platform was appleing insane and would be more at-home in Nazi Germany. Am eagerly awaiting the response I am totally going to get

@zeldatra That is outright ghastly and entirely un-shocking. Have they started saying that 1/6 was "just a little riot" like MTG?
-
@scribus This is more or less the last time in probably a while that Republicans have a shot at winning a statewide election in Virginia, historically we’ve always voted against the incumbent party no matter what but that anti-White House sentiment, while not totally gone (Biden won the state by ten points but polling shows the race as a toss-up) is kind of diminishing (we used to see swings of like twenty points, now it’s closer to five) and by 2025 it’ll probably be gone entirely, so this entire campaign has just been a big last-ditch effort to maybe hold Richmond one last time. Nothing is too low if you’re going out anyway.
-
@scribus Glenn Youngkin for his part has tried to distance himself from Trump and January 6th mostly because he can’t afford for the DC suburbs to turn out against him and that’s exactly what they’ll do if they think he’s too much like Trump.

Hey guys, take it from someone who is now having to do it for the second time in as many years: having to pretend that an associate at your store is still alive until everyone is notified that she died in surgery this morning is Not Fun.

Clearly not much of a problem anymore. Dole was simply born too early.

No, not Donald Trump telling Republicans not to vote if he isn’t reinstated. Anything but that.
Thursday, 14-Oct-21 00:41:34 UTC from web-
@scribus Oh, also, if he WERE “reinstated” he technically would be allowed to run for a second full term because the only method possible for “reinstatement” involves Republicans winning back the House, making him Speaker, and somehow winning 17 extra Senate seats with a map where they’ll be lucky if they get three, then impeaching/removing Biden-Harris simultaneously for ?????, which obviously would not be possible until 2023, when the next Congress is sworn in. So long as he is sworn in on January 21st or later, he would be allowed to run for another four year term since finish that term would bring him to just under the constitutional limit of ten years. If that’s his plan, it’s an incredibly contrived and unrealistic plan, but it is technically a plan nonetheless.

My store really said “Columbus Day is racist? Dope” and ended holiday pay starting this year, a move negotiated with and sanctioned by UFCW, of course.
Tuesday, 12-Oct-21 02:51:06 UTC from web-
@scribus They didn’t pay us for Juneteenth either despite Congress having made it a federal holiday and The President having signed the bill the week before. Said it was “too late” to change payroll, which is BS.
-
@zeldatra not that accounting can amend it afterwards and give the money with the next paychexk

don’t really see the point in a Nickelodeon crossover fighter if you aren’t gonna have VO. Makes the crossover aspect feel hollow if these cartoon characters are all mutes without personalities. Just play Smash Bros. at that point.

@zeldatra R&S seems so loaded, I'm surprised they'd even make mute or impersonated appearances
-
@scribus I made a video about this last year, but the basic gist of it was that John K. was fired so early into the show’s initial run that it kind of wasn’t even his show anymore by the time the original series ended, so I personally don’t think R&S should necessarily carry his baggage, especially since we don’t really apply that same standard to more recent works with creators who were disgraced for similar reasons (The Loud House got a movie this year, even). https://youtu.be/1bVrf7n_Yek
-
@zeldatra That makes some sense. I never watched it, growing up, or really at all, so I know pretty much zilch on the topic directly. Mostly just aware that separating the achievement from the achiever is always thorny; for example, slave-owners who wrote a legal document that said "all men are created equal."

@ceruleanspark Awesome! Is there any way to chat privately?
-
@feelsbadman Yep. You should be able to DM me with the “Message” button in my profile.

@ceruleanspark Sorry to bother, did you get my messages?

Already my end-of-year savings milestone to be able to buy a house by the end of 2022. West Virginia, here I come.

@scribus I’m gonna say the second one because I’ve said mean things about capitalists on Twitter and so participating in capitalism is liable to get me in a great deal of trouble.

lady that used to steal Sudafed at my old store shops at my new one :/

Just got done driving to Henrico County and during the drive I was trying to come up with a voice for a character. Eventually settled on “Genie from Aladdin but voiced by Dan Castellaneta”, which I realize is basically just a gay, possibly Jewish version of Homer Simpson.

I want to see the new Marvel movie Shang Chi but it feels wrong to go to the cinema.

@scribus I liked it a lot! Ryan Reynolds kind of carries the film and I think without him it isn’t nearly as funny though. He like, makes the movie.
-
@zeldatra @scribus The number of cases are rising here as well and I don't want to risk any contact with strangers that's not necessary, especially when sitting in an enclosed room for hours. I'm vaccinated but still. This time I'll probably go to the sea that is called Internet and become a filthy pirate. I already gave more money than necessary for watching Black Widow at home.
-
all of this moving around between stores finally pays off - I finally have the evidence I need to have a certain customer banned from all of our stores because I personally saw him running the same scam at three separate stores. kinda weird that it took three separate stores though, right?

@scribus I mean last week I managed, using only apt-get upgrade, to uninstall grub from the server, so this is way more "on" than it was
-
@ceruleanspark Oh. Missed that, then.
-
@ceruleanspark Maybe I should finally look into why my personal dot com is 50x-ing me....
-
thinking about buying the cheapest Mac Mini and using that for animation instead of my current PC. I don't believe it would be better (or worse, for that matter) in terms of performance, because let's be real, you don't need a beefcake to run Flash, but i do think it would help with productivity because I would have to switch to my other computer to run any of my games and so that's one less thing to get distracted by.

@zeldatra I tried dual-booting OSes to solve that problem. Didn't work, lol. Better luck, whatever you end up trying.
-
@scribus thought about doing a dual-boot but they don’t make macOS graphics drivers for my hardware, and Adobe Animate won’t run natively on Linux, so it would be more trouble than it’s worth.

Wow this Shakey's Pizza ad may actually have just used text-to-speech instead of hiring a person to talk for 30 seconds

@scribus the same guy’s been recording our phone messages at the store for years and he does the entire district, and they don’t re-record unless they absolutely have to, so up until the covid pandemic (they had to re-record at that point and a couple of times after as new information came out) one store would have an answer menu with a voice that’s audibly years younger than another.

update: if I don’t have covid, then I have something that sure feels a lot like it, because this sucks major balls.

one of the main characters in Swole Foods is a “Californian” (he lived there for six years and has made it his entire identity) but I’ve never lived in California, I only know what I see on the news, so some of these jokes might seem inaccurate to people who actually live there, which I think is pretty fair considering Hollywood directors seem to think Virginia is still a part of the confederacy.
Friday, 06-Aug-21 18:42:02 UTC from web-
@scribus Maybe! Wouldn’t feel right about it until I could pay you tho, so let’s see if I can get this thing picked up or funded first. Flying to Atlanta next year for the first of what is presumably going to be many, many pitches.
-
@zeldatra Good luck on the pitch(es)! As I understand they're super easy, barely an inconvenience. And I appreciate the monetary morals, but if you just need a punchline checked or something then I do the same for my writing group no problemo

So has anyone ported Doom to the Virtual Boy, and do they make a good VB emulator for a VR headset yet? !vgp
Sunday, 01-Aug-21 17:44:27 UTC from web-
@scribus There's actually a VB emulator for the Oculus Quest 2. It's called "Virtual Boy Go".

@ceruleanspark Hmm... I could sure go for a round of Teleroboxer again...

I’m a little old to be waking up to news about Chris Chan, can’t we leave that in the past

@scribus It’s PROBABLY National Enquirer-tier just because of the sheer insanity, but also, that would imply a certain level of untruth to it, and, uhhhhhhh…

If me not wearing a mask increases the likelihood of someone who choose not to get vaccinated to get COVID, I see that as a good thing. I'm sorry for the immunocompromised who get caught in the crossfire.

i put "Jon Lovitz" in the cast list so here's the plot for the darker and edgier Krusty the Clown spinoff that I just made up right now: Krusty's show is taken off the air and in an attempt to revitalize his career, he hires a new publicist, who happens to be none other than Artie Ziff. Meanwhile, due to good behavior, Sideshow Bob is paroled, and Krusty reluctantly lets him live in his mansion because he has nowhere else to go.
Also, Milhouse's parents adopted him out, so he's there too.Tuesday, 27-Jul-21 05:38:17 UTC from web -
I'm not big into LEGO but somehow I want a Star Wars Clone Wars Gunship set.
Thursday, 15-Jul-21 19:19:37 UTC from web-
@adiwan I hope they've revised the design since I tried to build Gherkins old one. That build is an unfun nightmare and produces the flimsiest model.
-
@ceruleanspark From what I've seen is big and sturdy. But I can only say that as an opinion without much insight and experience with big LEGO builds. I want it but I am aware that these sets are luxuriously expensive. I rather buy new Winter tyres for that kind of money.
-
@adiwan Gherkins was one of the first-gen models from the AOTC era, so it's entirely possible they've made the design slightly less likely to just explode on contact with a stiff breeze.

E-mails asking me if I wanna be harder and longer, meanwhile I've been hard long enough and just wanna mellow, man....
