I would also like to point out just how LONG it's been a Tory government. Even though Torylite Blair gave the UK a "break", it has been the Tories specifically eroding any welfare the country has had over a long period of time.

Ok, worth thinking about, so thank you for doing that. I've just seen cases where Europeans miss out due to rules like this.

I don't post gaming memes myself so it won't directly affect me, but how do you count a "Monday" if taking other timezones/countries into consideration? Just curious.

I fucking love those games to death, Thief was so fucking dark and gritty when it first came out and I was so scared when the guards walked past me as I was hiding in the shadows after water arrowing a torch, lol.
And Deus Ex I with it's multiple storylines, choice making and takes on philosophy was mind blowing.
However, they're easy to cheese by modern standards which might be to their detriment when it comes to new players. You can easily blackjack your way through Thief I.
Thief III: Deadly Shadows probably holds up the best gameplay wise, though Thief II has the best storyline imo.
Deus Ex I also has some very unfortunate voice acting choices (incl. white people putting on Asian sounding accents), which I, in the 90s, was ignorant about, but now as an adult it's a cringy struggle to listen to, tbh.

Ever since that one post that some might remember, I cheer myself up by going "nyyyyowwwn" like a race car when I pass corners (walking) if I'm having a bad day.

Remember when Big Sugar(TM) did that study on how sugar is beneficial? Is this that again?

Yep, I'm using wefwef.app now, which is also very nice. Still have Jerboa installed for when it'll be compatible with beehaw again.

I don't mind the sponsor segments as much, I usually just skip to the end of them, but that's only because it's how my creators make actual money, and it's not every video, and when you have adblock on, then it's not as annoying.
But yes, you're right, couple ads with sponsorships and product placements and soon the actual meat of the video is one tenth of the length. So what are we really watching here?

I would be okay with it if the amount of ads and their length were reasonable, like one in the beginning and one at the end or something. For a longer video, I wouldn't even mind one at the midway point.
I didn't start using adblockers until I was literally inundated and bombarded and sometimes with ads running the length of a movie (no, literally).
It completely ruins the experience. I'm happy to support my creators directly though and I do.

A thing I also don't understand is why they are scrubbing the service from some of the cancelled shows (you can't view the previous seasons either). Why?
A show I was going to watch, but now can't, was Queens of the Universe, a song/talent competition for/by queer people. We already don't have that many queer shows, let me at least watch the first season of it.

Yeah, this exactly. Use it as an opportunity to realise you're not on the same page as this person and that's fine. Better to be picky, imo. Live your best single life, only choose a partner who chooses all of you too.

I mean, I like doing both lol, but I actually think gaming is more productive as you're at least either engaging in something social, a good narrative, or just fucking having a good time, whereas watching things is more passive (and completely okay to do as well).

Thank you!
Well, we play my own folkrock songs and then covers as well. We're trying to make a chill atmosphere. We mostly want people to leave with a: "oh, that was really pleasant!"-vibe, but also mix in some humourous bits here and there to keep people entertained.
I work with elderly people, so I'm trying to make a book that explores some of the lives left unheard thorughout the decades :)

Imposter syndrome gets us all at times. But hey, at least you're asking, you'll then know more and you'll improve! They need to be patient with a new hire too, which it sounds like they are. Good luck!

And to think, Greta inadvertently took him down. What a timeline we live in.
Hi everyone, first post on here. This will be a bit of a ramble, sorry in advance. I'm dealing with some inner turmoil, as do most people. As I age it gets worse and I know I'm not alone in this, but I don't have anybody in my inner circle who understands, while they might be sympathetic. I struggle with feeling like I'm my authentic self. I feel like I'm in the wrong body and have been all my life. I don't hate it though, I just deal with it, mostly through just ignoring its existence and accepting that it at least lets me do things. I'm quite capable. But I also just don't feel... right. When I look at myself in the mirror, I feel nothing. I used to hate it, now I just feel apathy. I dress like the gender people perceive me as, to make life easier for myself. At work, we use uniforms, which some days helps and others make it worse. I worry about expressing myself both in terms of dialogue and clothing options as I live in Tory country and my spouse and other dear queer friends have dealt with emotional and physical abuse for not "toeing the line". My partner expresses themselves so minimally, yet sooo flamboyantly if you ask the general public? In our local community, we get "away" with more as we are part of the artist and musician community, but why should that have to matter? It's fucked up. I struggle with mental health issues and have my entire life. I usually tell myself that's what's causing the incongruity, or discrepancy, between what society perceives me as and what I perceive me as. I'm not sure that's true anymore... But I'm scared. Part of me likes hiding. Part of me is tired of not sticking up for myself more. Mostly I'm just tired.
