A caveat: The important thing is to steer the anger in the right direction. I've met several people who get angry and then start, say, getting addicted to the clout of dunking. That's not good anger. That's just being mean.

Let your anger be the force that empowers you to do good.
This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

Honestly? It kinda slaps actually. I'd definitely see that in a cyberpunk kind of game.

I find myself wanting more and more to visit Brazil these days. Dunno why, no reason.
"Bolsonaro ... is unlikely to appreciate the approved reading list. It includes Brazilian works on Indigenous rights, racism, the environment and the violence meted out by the country’s 1964-85 dictatorship – a regime Bolsonaro openly supported."

Brazil, you're doing amazing. This is inspired.

I'm extremely good at figuring out how to make more with less, and finding the perfect balance between quality and cost effectiveness. It's never going to be amazing, but it'll always be good enough.
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

I used to love reading Dilbert comics, but then I found out it was not, in fact, satire, and I lost interest.

Anyway RIP DilbertGuy McWhatshisface.

Well hot damn! It sure is a nice surprise to see this in my inbox! It took 15 months (!) but I'll finally be able to officially say that Extraneum is fully playable on the Steam Deck ✨

If you haven't seen it, Bill Watterson gave a speech in 1990 to his alma mater, Kenyon college

Full speech is here and it is absolutely worth your time: www.neil.blog/full-speech-...

Well shit, I just learned about that.

It would have been the ONE reason for me to get a Switch 2. But yeah, still ain't happening. One day maybe. 💸

Social media is for everyone to talk about everything and without exceptions.

Made the mistake of trying to find a chart about inflation by searching for inflation on here and got a reminder that while most people think Bluesky is a place for politics, it's actually a place for furries to jack off

Think of the most random of random movies you can possibly think of. Got one? Now locate and post a GIF or vid from it. 🎥⁉️🖤

I love that you can actually try it out in the game, too.

hey so this is blatant false information punishing people for doing the right thing. no, it was not a "grabber". it was a reputable survey site that discord has used previously for limited surveys.

nothing can """grab""" information if you dont provide it, which an anonymous survey didnt ask for.

Also; the stock market is a terrible way to assess a company's actual worth. Nvidia's stock rose by a factor of 10 since 5 years ago. Sure, it'll drop slightly when they seriously fuck up, but it's always temporary and goes back up soon after.

I'm sure Satan Inc. would do great on Wall Street.

I'm having kind of a mental breakdown these days, but I'm still working on that plane controller... and reconsidering that pilotwings-like game I gave up on last year.

Have a clip of a fighter plane doing a Immelmann turn.
