hands all parties a Pepsi max

Nah, eBay is mostly warehouse vendors now. I find it a little odd if I find an old school second hand item with bids. Also, at least in my country, most of the warehouse vendors offer free shipping. Aliexpress is generally cheaper per item tho

We got discouraged from doing the heimlich at our first aid training and got taught a different thing that I have forgotten

Idk if this helps. I just feel kinda itchy now

I have to ration disk space and internet here is typically not amazing

hyper-analyse

idk if that’s what you’re doing if your brain goes “ding” every time you see a continuity error or a set expedience. Not everyone wants to watch a movie that is 20 minutes longer because the characters were snacking or going to the bathroom.

Best keep supporting Navalny as well >.>

If the death of a branch of a family was enough to reject something forever, I’ve got some bad news about the US

Kinda depends. Cop on duty? Probably not. Politician or business owner? Unless they can directly affect you, annoying banter. If they can directly affect you, based on vibes.

This is definitely the game that does (become unfun through too much detail) that a lot, but it lets you turn off each mechanic that has been introduced. Real W&Rheads play on “realistic mode”, which means you have to import labour, gravel, concrete, pave roads etc etc. I generally don’t because um.

Um, we make fun of our authority figures but also believe the worst of them whatever they say about our national enemies (regarding Australia, national enemies include China, immigrants, the poor etc). There is more standard capitalist deference as well, you’re not going to slag someone who can fire you (to their face). And people are constantly ladder climbing as well, so there’s this sort of jockeying to have good banter while not creating enemies more powerful than you. I hate it. Its hard to navigate and people hide some real barbs behind “its a joke”.

idk how to change culture >.>

I think it would be dope having either re-fertilising fields or crop rotation or something. Different nitrite levels, acidity etc. The pollution mechanic is also single note

I downloaded a tiny police station that was labelled “Post Office, Not Secret Police”. I laughed, but yes there are some basic government mechanics. It’s pretty underdeveloped compared to the industrial and transport stuff though. Unlike Cities: Skylines, you cannot legalise weed (or even choose crops other than “crops”). You can set prison sentences though.

Interesting thing to write about: Phenomenon where someone will receive ad copy for some tech start up company, and then just never look into it again. Then they go on believing that we’re just on the cusp of cryogenics, life extension, whatever and bring it up in conversation and will heatedly defend that thing despite the OG company having long since disappeared or faded into obscurity. You can use this to time when they had spare time to look this sort of thing up and when they were last talking to drunk engineers.

(also, my examples use ghoulish immortality technologies, but I’ve seen it come up renewable energy, materials science etc)

Weird to see a mention of perth and Kalgoorlie out here in the wild.

I thought it compressed a lot of events into its rather long timeframe, so some scenes that built up scale and atmosphere are quite short compared to the equivalent scenes in the first movie.

Sometimes. I have a hard time when to prioritise my own needs against other people’s, so I wind up vacillating between very meek and belligerent kinda randomly. Especially when it comes to social needs (e.g. if it feels like someone else is dominating a conversation with their topic of interest, and I have something I wanted to say about something 3 minutes ago but the person hasn’t stopped talking, idk what do).

Fort Humble

I had someone tell me it was too harrowing and I could find it myself if I really wanted to (regarding hamas crimes) >.>

Eat shit, disco elysium
