I mostly agree but there really is no more powerful painkiller than “fuck” after the moment of impact

I’ve considered removing or at least reducing swearing in my common language usage, but I don’t consider it enough to just replace swearing with placeholder words. “What the fudge” doesn’t work, in my mind, because it is still clear to everybody what my brain was trying to say before my resolution not to swear intervened. “What on earth are you talking about?” Much better.

I kind of realised through running that through to its end that what my issue was, with swearing, was lazy use of language. So I still swear, but I try not to lean on the words as crutches.

Where this puts me, language usage-wise, is in a position where I’m using swearing as a tool to accentuate my meaning or express emotion succinctly, since I don’t swear as often it carries more weight.

For instance, my high school bully was a reprehensible human being but Donald Trump is a worthless fucking cunt.

Absolutely nothing. Works surprisingly often.

Borderlands 2, including all the dlc. Such a great game. Bonus points if you have played borderlands 1, but its not essential.

Borderlands 3 has excellent gameplay but the writing is far, far worse than borderlands 2. They somewhat lost the anti-corpo anti-cap vibes that the series was built on. You can pretty frequently pick up the entire series with all dlc for like… £30 or something with the Pandoras Box bundle.

I had a bunch of fun with Destiny 2 but I can’t recommend it in good conscience because of the state of the management of the game.

I’m gonna call her

The Last Campfire is like being read a bedtime story - its delightful

Night in the Woods is so god damn good. Heartbreaking what happened with the dev, though.

I fell off a short bridge into a ditch, got up, started walking up out of the ditch. Realised I couldn’t breathe (winded) and then fell back into the same ditch, unconscious.

Had the most psychedelic dream I’ve ever had, and woke up to someone tending to my wounds.

If its parody songs specifically, then hard mode isn’t possible for me

But if comedy music is allowed, much of Ninja Sex Party is on repeat, as well as a bunch of Tim Minchin’s work

Sex

I had a different problem with breaking bad, but it killed my watching at around the same point: I just couldn’t stomach what a terrible human being Walter is. I dropped it after he (almost?) sexually assaulted his wife, and then years later someone managed to convince me to pick it up again and I dropped it once more when he allowed Jesse’s girlfriend to die as he watched

I know the point is that Walter is the bad guy, despite how many chuds idolize him and his Heisenberg persona, but fuck.

Girlboss

What? Its evolving!

Coldsideofyourpillow turned into Warmsideofyourpillow!

Despite causing myself harm, I am causing you to cease to exist, yes? :3c

warms up your cold side

You take that back! My programming socks are the source of my power!

Financially? No Psychologically? Also no but I’ve actually got therapy and taken a step to breaking generational trauma so that’s something!

All good, glad we smoothed that over :)

There is a dedicated section for “pasture/range” which is the grazing space you’re talking about. I am not talking about that. I’m talking about the section for “livestock feed” which is crop growth.

Ugh, I accidentally deleted my previous comment when trying to edit, sorry for the double reply.

Original reply:

You think that the amount of land being dedicated to making food for livestock dwarfing the amount of land dedicated to feeding people is not a legitimate complaint?

Edit: eyeballing it, we use twice as much land (and as a result, water, energy, etc used in the farming process) making food for livestock (ie, food for what will become food) as we do making food for us
