"Virtually" doing a lot of the lifting in "virtually unlimited" there.

The ambient music from Mass Effect 2 that plays while you're probing for resources. I know lots of people hated that mini-game, but I found it extremely soothing and spent hours and hours doing it.

Losing a pet is so hard, but know that he loved and appreciated you being there with him at the end. You gave him a wonderful life.

"Since Biden is a lame duck and the Republicans are about to take control anyway, I sure wish he'd just use his power to solve global warming once and for all!"

Monkey's Paw curls

Yeah, same--I was thinking "finally, someone doing something good with AI!"

Making things better where I can.

Am I getting minotaur dick or werewolf dick? That art is really sending mixed messages, and it seems like a significant distinction.

Yes. Virtually everyone except the actual left was on board at first. It was bananas.

This one is also my guess. Water and viable farmland.

Alex Jones™️ Fluoride Mouthwash

Put his likeness on all sorts of things he'd hate and then donate all the money to people and causes he'd hate.

I dunno, US Courts really like upholding intellectual property laws.

One of the funniest things about this is that he can't just go start another company doing the same thing. Because he's a moron grifter, one of the cornerstones of his legal defense was that "Alex Jones" as depicted on InfoWars was a fictional character that he had created and been playing for years. He argued that since he was playing a character, he shouldn't be personally responsible for what he said on the show, as it had nothing to do with his own views--it would be like holding an actor liable for what they said in a film. His appearance, presentation style, and even name were all elements of this fictional character, and he trademarked them as such. InfoWars owns the trademark, which means The Onion now owns the concept of "Alex Jones, the blowhard conspiracy guy who presents weird right-wing conspiracy takes on current events loudly and aggressively." If he tries to go over to OAN or start a new site doing the same thing, The Onion can (and presumably will) sue him for IP infringement, and they'll likely win. Legendary levels of self-owning (well, not any more!).

The idea is not just to help people as a one-off in the moment (e.g. "I'm going to feed these people on this date"), but to build durable, long-lasting, self-sustaining dual-power structures. That's what makes a well run mutual aid collective different from a charity: you're not just giving things away and saying "here you go; good luck!" You are (ideally) helping people organize themselves in ways that make their communities more resilient long term. Of course, a necessary first step in that process almost always involves just giving people stuff in a way that looks like a charity--people can't organize themselves effectively if they're starving, or have no blankets, or can't get medication, or whatever--but while charity in the traditional sense just stops there, mutual aid is supposed to go further. You help people get the things they need to survive, and then help them build durable organizations that let them help themselves and other people in their community not just survive but thrive (at least as much as they can under current material conditions). The best mutual aid is like an avalanche: the inciting event that starts the whole thing rolling might look like charity, but it picks up people as it goes along until it's growing under its own momentum.

Blocked both the account and the comm .

In this moment, he is euphoric.

The Boebert thing was a hoax ( )
