I'll often repeat things my wife says in the "I'll x your y" format as if it were a cheesy pickup line. Like, she'll ask if I can grab the remote, and I'll say "I'll grab your remote." She hates it.

I mean, they're trying to say that the terrible colonialism practiced by the European-based American people against the native Americans is happening again in Israel, which is definitely a good point to be made. We're well past the ability to stop the atrocities committed by America in the past, but we're able to stop Israel today. The same idea applies to the terrible treatment of non-while populations in America today by ICE and other agencies, while we're on the topic of preventable atrocities.

I'll find a few new songs to be the first in my new library. I love finding new music, and transitioning from one library to another helps me take some time away from songs that might be getting stale to focus on new stuff. It also gives me the opportunity to rediscover songs from previous libraries after some time, and fall in love with them again. Just today I added a song to my library that I used to have on my old iPod, and I'm listening to it a bunch now that it's been several years since I've last heard it.

My sister is like this, and she's basically just constantly anxious about what she's supposed to be doing and how people feel about her, so she forces herself to be talkative and energetic even though it exhausts her. It's sad to know that behind her smile she's just always stressed out about every little thing that she construes as someone maybe being mad at her. I'm glad that over the years I've been able to get her to be her real self around me, but I haven't been able to get her to see a therapist yet.

My point is that the time when we might have found the right words to fix things is almost certainly over. It's now time to start fighting against injustice with real action.

They did all this because they know that the vast majority of the playerbase will never hear about this, and many of those that do will either forget, or simply not care enough to boycott the game. We're in an age of apathy across the board, with so much bad press that any given scandal just fades into the background noise.

I mean, I understand that this is a metaphor for some instance of "someone thinks x should have y, and is dumb," but I have no idea what specific instance it's trying to poke fun at.

We can't even agree on what most of these words mean, much less get the majority of people to care about whether we adhere to them. I know multiple people who think the entirety of science is wrong, and that hispanic people don't have the human right of safe housing, even when legal citizens.

I have this on my everyday playlist...

I smuggled a whole pan of brownies once. I barely even tried to hide it, but nobody asked about the weirdly square bulge on my stomach. They don't care.

I saw the new one with my father in law today, after not having seen one since the original trilogy. It was just not good. I'm usually able to turn off my brain and enjoy a movie regardless of the quality, but there were so many things that didn't make sense, or were glossed over without explanation, that I just couldn't suspend my disbelief.

I found it back in the mid-2000's while I was looking for a video game where I could build stuff, similar to legos, so when I played it all I did was make castles and robots and whatever. Maybe you could make minigames for people like they do now, but it didn't seem like it was the main focus, at least from what I had seen back then.
