Hey guys, can we talk about how the switch 2 is 450 dollars? How games are gonna cost 80 dollars on it? How pro controllers are gonna cost 80 dollars, and joycons 90? Can we please talk about how fucked up this is?

We genuinely shouldn't let Nintendo do this, we as the consumers have the right to fair prices. We need to remind Nintendo that their games and consoles are not things people need and putting such high prices on them is fucking stupid.

That’s without getting into the “game key” cards furthering the degradation of ownership. Nobody should pay $80 to not actually own the game.

its healthy for your paragraphs to vary in size, good for the ecodiversity of your doc

i remember learning the word melancholy at age 7 or something and thinking oh this word's gonna be huge for me

May 31 2016 - Collin Kennedy, who is a cancer patient, used expanding spray foam to disable a parking meter at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg where he gets his treatment. He says the fees are a tax on the sick. [video]

yes!!!!!!!!

Lots of well-intentioned (I hope) but extremely condescending comments in the notes like “maybe don’t film yourself doing crime.” Respectfully… This man knew what he was doing. He didn’t just film himself, he invited media to film him. He did this to make his own statement, with his own voice, with his own face. He wanted himself and his actions to be visible.

Collin Kennedy died in 2018, just two years after this video was taken. What would anonymity have achieved for him in those last two years? Avoiding punishment? His whole point was that these parking fees are already a punishment on the sick.

Is public protest dangerous? Sure. Is it more dangerous than merely existing as a sick or disabled person navigating a hostile healthcare system? I think that is for every individual experiencing it to decide for themselves.

$17,000.

$17,000

$17,000 !!!!!

having a cyclical mental illness really does feel like being the world's most dogshit necromancer reanimating the same corpse every few months

baby i've had lifechanging realizations only to immediately forget them like you wouldn't believe

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Pisses me off to see xylophones coming on all smug when we all know they wouldn't be shit if it weren't for when someone needs an X word for their alphabet book

we were actually supposed to have way more X words by now but the xylophone lobby keeps getting them shot down

I miss when sci fi was allowed to be goofy and weird and long running, with a lot of daily life plots and silly costumes and fun real sets.

nowadays it's trying so hard to be prestige television, and intelligent, without realizing that the best sci fi could be that AND ridiculous. it's all CGI and brooding and people being sad on sad looking gray planets.

I also dislike how modern sci fi is dystopian this, dystopian that.

you know, farscape is technically a dystopia, but it still let itself be a fun one.

maybe your dystopian sci fi needs puppets.

me burning the candle at both ends: oobh i got plany off wick

my coworker: we just got guitar hero for our wii, and it has really made me realize how much guitar there actually is in all this music!
