Check the account age sisters, brothers, and enbers, that's right, I've been here longer than you (probably). But that number? Inaccurate. Yep, I was there the day "joebiden" posted to reddit that he was "pulling out after tonight". I was even there when the bunny cop lover post was still sitting at 20 up votes - I remember thinking "huh, weird post, ok next".

Okay so the writing in Fallout 4 is dogshit. But I really got thrown by this thing Deacon said yesterday while I was playing:

Love the job you're doing with the Minutemen. But, historically, they've been little better than policemen, though.

And it's like what the fuck man? It's more than 200 years since the bombs dropped and you live in an area which has never had a formal organised state (and have said you've visited DC another place like that), let alone one that had policemen.

Like guards, security, militia etc. But not police. And like I get that maybe policemen became just a synonym for those things, but Deacon being one of the more anarchist members of Railroad is clearly using it in the historic sense.

Also policemen that might exist in the NCR (on the complete opposite coast) probably do suck some of the time (like if they are putting down striking workers for Brahmin Barons) but the act of rebuilding a functioning nation-state like the NCR for all it's flaws is kind of historically progressive compared to just being settlements and raiders.

I'm submitting a new lathe request for funniest outcome of the election:

Kamala Harris becomes the nominee, Biden becomes the VP. Kamala beats Trump and becomes president. Then, she dies from a brain aneurysm and we get Biden again. I just think it would be funny if Biden's health somehow outlasts hers.

-Everyone celebrating the United States of Amerikkka tomorrow

-Working tomorrow

-Crush off tomorrow (well, good for her of course)

So, I was walking by a bus stop where a few I dunno between 14 and 17 year old kids were waiting and an ambulance with sirens pulls up and pulls an older lady out of her car. I see one pull out a phone and while I couldn't make it out, said something to another kid who went into a stance like he was about to run towards this medical emergency and then thankfully chickened out. Whatever they were planning to film with a medical emergency as their opportunity couldn't be good and I was ready to tackle that kid if he made the slightest move towards the EMTs.

Edit: this is such a chud dad story, I know. But it put me in a bad mood to see someone pulling out their phone as a response to an ambulance and I was a shithead kid trained on jackass, I can see what it looks like when someone with a camera is daring another kid to do something terrible. Been on both sides of the lense there, I could even sorta hear the kid being dared making excuses like he would do it but etc...I don't wanna seem like I'm saying I'm the would be hero cause I was ready to knock down a child to help EMTs here

my friend saw sea of stars on my steam wish list and bought it for me ;_;

I started learning violin a few weeks ago, it's hard but being an adult learner means you get to make crazy fast progress (compared to 8 year olds lol).

I learned to play the star wars theme on my own, jurassic park, that one song the creepy ass young scholars on Renalas boss fight.

This has been really fun! Learning a new skill as an adult is cool. Also, renting a 2 grand violin is like $20 a month. Way affordable.

Sushi is a rice burrito.

I feel sad and depleted. But not hopelessly so, my life is looking up I think. Probability of local revolution low though

Rpg where instead of story progression you endlessly assign story points to tasks and your equipment and characters get progressively worse, members of your party randomly leave for better parties and never get replaced.

At work I usually get assigned around 3 projects with an intended time split of 20%/40%/40%. One of the project managers in January in charge of my 20% project somehow managed to book an entire workday of meetings for me for that project.
