  • NPC
  • Cops. No one knows why.

    One theory is ACAB = 1312 = All Cops Are Bad, so shortened to 12 (why not 13? also the slang predates "acab" popularity.)

    Another is the show Adam-12, about cops.

  • 38 House Republicans give Trump the finger in shutdown vote
  • They could make peace (aka Johnson could shut up and choke down some orange D) but I don't see Trump and our truculant Speaker really getting along well. Johnson is a principled corrupt shitbag, an actual Christian nationalist, while Trump just uses Xian nationalism as a prop.

  • Gen Z is having "midlife crisis"
  • Millenial here, I had an existential crisis in my mid to late 20s because the job market was shit, my romantic relationships were in shambles, and prospects for the future looked grim. I managed to shake myself out of it and find a path forward after moving and changing a lot of my expectations for how life should be. I realized that I'd been lied to my entire life about what was important and how to achieve it. I realized that I was struggling so hard because the path laid out for you is one that benefits owners and rulers, not yourself.

    Nothing in America has gotten better since then, and all those factors are worse. Jobs are less stable, less interesting, and lower paying. Relationships are even more alienated and hard to form. The future looks totally fucked.

    I wouldn't call it a midlife crisis, but I had another big breakdown in early 2020 as I realized that the pandemic response was indicative of how we were collectively going to handle all the other issues of the 21st century: climate-change-enhanced disasters, wars, famines, and plagues. All my faith that humanity could pull together in crisis to handle the looming apocalyptic challenges evaporated from seeing people hoarde toilet paper and cheer on mass death from avoidable disease.

    So now I'm just trying to enjoy the downfall. Either I'm wrong and the hateful, spiteful, shitty people are correct in which case I guess there's nothing to worry about. Or I'm right, people suck, and I'm privledged to have been born at the very peak of human progress before the whole species dies back to the low fuedal periods, if not extinction. Might as well enjoy the ride!

  • how much of a g*mer are you?
  • 100/100. I haven't played all of them a ton, like I played Saga Frontier on emulation for a few hours when I was backlogging the PS1 RPGs. I actually finish very few games, especially since most AAA stuff either ends the main plot 20% in or else the final third of the game is bloated with collectathons and BS to drag out the runtime a little longer. I like to try new things though, so I experiment a lot.

  • Pretty interesting when you really think about it.
  • This was also my understanding and I begrudgingly agree with NDT that borders and states and tribalism are bad. I don't agree with complaining about lines. Damn dude, sucks to have to be a regular participant in society, maybe of bureaucrats got paid better or there were more people working the passport desk.

    Or.... and i know this is fucking wild, he made up that story because in the US you get passports in the mail. Yeah, you have to maybe wait in a short line for some steps but overall you just send in your info and wait 6 weeks.
