Let me take that for you. No, kiddo, you don’t have to carry anything, you go right ahead and I’ll just make a couple of trips. Get in the house where it’s warm. It’s not that heavy. I can get it. This is dirty, you don’t want to touch it. I’ll wrestle with it, if you could just get me a towel? Let me drop you off, it’s raining pretty hard. I’ll go get the car. It’s not that cold. Sure, I can help you. Three flights of stairs isn’t that much. You don’t have to take the shuttle, I’ll pick you up. Four a.m. isn’t that early. It’ll give me a good start on the rest of the day. It’ll be nice to have your company. Let me drive. You worked all day. I’ll get this check. No, no, you can get the next one. Did I say that last time? You can leave the tip, how about that. Just tell me what you want to do whenever you decide. Last minute is okay. See if any of the other things you’d rather do work out, and if not it’ll be nice to see you. I don’t mind, I want you to have what you want. Don’t worry about that, I’ll take care of it. Let me make a few calls for you. Hold on, I have the number right here. Did you want me to go with you? I’d be happy to; it’s no trouble at all. Sure, I have time. I always have time for you. Here’s an extra twenty bucks. Pay me back when you can. I don’t want you driving around with no cash at all. Are you cold? Take my coat. No, it’s not bad out. Here, I have an extra sweatshirt in the car. Go ahead and take the last of it. I’m not that hungry today. Call me any time, day or night. I just want you to understand that I’m here for whatever you need. Yup, I can give you directions. Sure, I have stamps. No, baby, that was great, just let me hold you know. Let me run out, it’ll just take a second. I’ll be back before you know it, and then you won’t have to wait until morning. Sure, I’ll look at it right now. It’s no trouble. Sure, I can wait. Just let me know when you’re ready, we can go. Sure, I’ll come over and bring my tools.
hey. "your faithful servant" from butch is a noun by s bear bergman
i cant take it seriously when ppl who go "i like age gap yaoi" and the age gap is like a guy and his senior in college. WHERE ARE THE REAL OYAJI FUCKERS IN THIS HOUSE
Somewhat relatedly, when I was a teenager I played a text role playing game called nation states, where diplomacy was often done through bellicose posting. People at the time thought this was very unrealistic

I really wish we had a well funded, power critical fourth estate interested in investigating the source of this clearly coordinated effort by payment processors.
Like, we keep seeing the impact of it, but I really want to know the "who" and the "why" beyond nebulous surveillance/puritanism forces.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
New: an FBI agent who took the routine step of investigating the ICE officer who shot Renee Good has resigned after FBI leadership discouraged the investigation

literally all we have is that painting that feels like an altar lol.
exactly and it just felt so rushed… we don’t ever get to hang out with mels family that she worked so hard to find outside of runs (at least thats what ive been experiencing post “ending”) and the endless runs have like no weight to them anymore we’re excising the possibility of a possibility lol

i didnt mind the ending direction tbh but the change felt SO abrupt it was almost funny
On a kind of similar, more normative ‘big picture’ ideal overview: you are a citizen. You are not a subject or serf. You are also not a consumer or customer. You are a citizen. That comes with meaningful obligations to you, and meaningful obligations from you.

So... can Valve still make its own decisions about what's acceptable to sell? Or just they bend to the values of anyone who can convince payment processors a game or topic is pernicious? @valvesoftware.com , this is a topic that deserves comment to the public & press! arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot
the law isnt a magic wand its an egregore and there's only so much 6 guys in robes can authorize before it loses it legitimacy and that fact constrains them. like these constraints still exist in dictatorships!
the way that no act of right-wing violence ever seems to change the media or political elite of this country's world view is just fucking maddening
Website/device age verification is a privacy and security nightmare and everyone who tells you that this is a solved problem is lying to you.
"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

National dem leadership should be treating Melissa Hortman like a martyr and they aren’t. It might not matter in this information environment but they should at least try.

the personal is not always the political. wonderful, warm people who care deeply about their communities and geniunely mean well can like the cringiest lamest shit possible. real assholes can have incisive artistic taste. they’re mostly separate domains. it’s fine.
Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.
Her name is Rosie: "A lot of vendors are undocumented and can't be here today. So those of us who can, we gotta show up"
this is always what they do. they hate reporters on the scene because reporters on the ground show everybody else what the fuck they're up to. and they don't want anybody average to know: what the fuck they're up to
