    I feel like this sort of conversation could only happen now with someone who thought of themselves as a gamer when Skyrim (or oblivion) came out, played 70 hours of it and some other pop titles around that time, and then stopped playing video games.













  • I might be trapped in my room because I'm afraid my housemates might yell at me. One of my housemates is doing a sort of radical unmasking thing, and I'm not sure I'm coping since overt expressions of anger or frustration I can't be around. My body interprets this as them being furious at me. I don't even have bottles to pee in atm.

    Unfortunately I'm in a work from home deal and my computer is in a public space. Also I just bought food and it might go off before I am comfortable being in the kitchen again.





  • In the UK, the prime minister is selected by the ruling party by internal processes of that party, which may involve voting but usually is triggered by various power plays within that party. It doesnt normally happen because switching your leadership multiple times in a single year is a bad look.

    For wider democracy, the ruling party can choose to trigger an election early. This is favours the incumbent because it means the ruling party can choose when circumstances are favourable (e.g. financial stability, popular war declared)
