well that's fucking awesome. all of the damage russians have done to our electric infrastructure can be repaired in one year minimum. IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE TAHN ONE YEAR TO REPAIR ALL OF THE ELECTRIC STATIONS RUSSIANS HIT WITH THEIR MISSILES. AND WE AIN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT CIVILIAN OR ANY OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE. ONLY ELECTRIC ONE. MORE THAN ONE YEAR. AND WE ARE STILL NOT STRUGGLING ENOUGH IN ONLINE PEOPLE'S OPINION. FUCK OFF
#like look I'm just a guy who fucking wants to relax on my summer break and enjoy the last months of being unemployed and careless#and all I fucking get is “the electricity will soon be out” notification on my phone#LIKE OKAY I FUCKING GET YOU YOU ARE USED TO US FUCKING STRUGGLING AND I MAY BE SEEN BYPER PRIVILEGED FOR COMPLAINING#BUT IT'S SO FUCKING EASY TO JUDGE SOMEONE WHILE YOU FUCKING HAVE EVERYTHING I CAN EVER DREAM OF (basic human needs)#like YES THERE'S AN ONGOING WAR IN MY COUNTRY AND I KNOW IT. BUT WE DIDN'T CHOSE TO LIVE NEXT TO FUCKING RUSSIA#we just want to live safely and have access to the most basic things that many people all around the world take for granted#we want to feel safe on our land#we want to stop fucking worrying that the next building hit by russian missile will actually be ours because no one is safe#and still I fucking see those fuckos online telling me how we “don't act like people who live in a country that goes through a war”#well I guess in that case we should all stop buying food and clothes to be REAL people who are suffering from a war#like you for real?? you gonna fucking make us give up the only sourse of distraction and dopamine we can get?#you fucking judging people for buying stuff because “you shouldn't buy new things#there's an ongoing war in your country“ you fr?? so like what we all shall fucking give up and die??#buying new things often gives people some dopamine which actually helps to stay somehow stable (as sane as it's possible)#or do you want us to be a fucking nut-state? idk some mental-case-state. fuck off#stand with ukraine#russia is a terrorist state

They really should've let us meet Duke Ravenguard before he got captured.
Right now, it's Just Some Guy, and he's gone before you could've gotten into the burning building.
But what if—but what if you meet the Duke, and he has no idea who you are, but you can tell him you're a Baldurian and suddenly he's like 'I must help you, because my city's people are not unaffected.' And you get the chance to point out it's, at most, four of you in the woods. But the Duke says that four is enough. That even one would be enough. He appologises that he needs the time to gather his supplies and people, but come to Walkeen's Rest tomorrow and you will head out to return to the Gate and the best healers within it at the first light of dawn
...and then you show up and the goddamn town is on fire.
Wyll would get an alternate scene where he's heartened to see his father after so long, attempts to explain, and yet his father scorns him for the monster he's become (if you've met Karlach) or tethered himself to (if Karlach isn't there or already turned over to Mizora). Wyll attempts to explain, but his father cuts him off, says he'll never forgive him. Then the Duke catches himself. Apologises that his responsibilities and duties as a Duke must come between them. And that, in lieu of forgiveness, he could at least listen to Wyll. But that he is too angry right now, and any explanation would fall on deafened ears. Please, the Duke pleads with us. Come back tomorrow, if you could stomach a father who could not give his forgiveness, but would at least give you supplies for the road instead. And of course Wyll gives you puppy dog eyes so you agree.
That night, Wyll tells you a little of what brought him to Mizora's feet, and his hopes that, even if his father couldn't forgive him, the two of them may tomorrow reach an understanding, at least. Wyll tells you how long he's said nothing to his father, from his fears of what he would think, trying to protect the Duke from Wyll's own follies. But that he sees now that Wyll wasn't trying to protect his father or the Gate, but himself. Wyll cannot tell his father everything—because at this point Wyll doesn't even know—but you can help bolster his resolve to tell his father what he can.
...then you wake and the village is on fire.
#bg3#wyll ravengard#duke ravengard#basic storytelling says 'show is the thing before you take it'#Wyll's arc right now is serviceable#but small tweaks could've made it *so much better*#I didn't even know there was a dragon at the end of it until act 3!!#That alone would've given me *so much* buy-in!!!#It took me forever to puzzle out in this how to get an unskipable cutscenes to feel natural#but having it be after the long rest builds the anticipation and helps twist the knife deeper#along with letting the game reset and make sure you aren't going too fast#(you could probably kill the Duke and Gortash would just use the power vacuum to get himself crown & set you on the main timeline)

i'm anti-hoa for all the normal reasons (racist origins, potential legal control/liens, etc) and also for redneck reasons (if i want a rusted out truck on my front yard that i pay for who the hell do u think u are) but what really chaps my ass is that hoas inherently encourage coward behavior-my fucking neighbors run to the hoa crying and dry heaving when they have a """"""problem"""""" (*the problems in question are like so stupid it's embarrassing) instead of walking over to talking to my face like a someone i could respect
*the problems have been that the roofers who needed to be in the neighbor's lawn left nails....during the day while they were still working and not done working-i wish i was joking but this is how shitty these two are (they have been nothing but shitty and if i could salt their yard i would but they have nothing to do all day and watch to make sure no one disturbs their house and dogs, which don't buy in a busy suburb dipshit), and the vines of our plants are touching their house (other side neighbors), but again-say it to my face pussy, like hoas are tools of the devil for encouraging this behavior (and for all the other very bad reasons)
#i know basically all new construction in america has an hoa bc they run things and then the government doesn't have to do as much but they#legit have ruined people's lifes-financially too which is the most important way#yet another reason i would never (maybe not never but basically never) buy a new construction (different from building a new construction#which i'm interested in potentially but that's different bc i would hire a builder etc and i wouldn't buy from a planned community)#personal

another day another dealing with management scrambling about their own poor decisions and supply chain/budget issues even tho I'm really fucking not paid enough for all that
#nerd alert#the basic rundown: i make the pre-made salads sandwiches snacks etc for 2 storefronts on campus#1 of the storefronts has a supervisor who texts me directly at the end of the night to tell me what they have left#the other storefront is a vague and unknowable black hole i dump things into. it seems to prefer salads. but besides that idek.#ive invited them to text me directly. email or fax the numbers to my direct manager to give me. something. anything. to inform me#of what they need every day so i know how much to produce.#but instead of this they have elected to just complain about overproduction and then have a panic attack when they run out of things#last week we had a meeting with the manager of that storefront's building and there was a discussion about this issue among others#and it was agreed that someone from that building would oversee forecast numbers and i would go off those for production#well. that person is bad at their job apparently. bc i did that this week and they started flipping out about overproduction.#the other issue is supply chain stuff. keeping up with what needs ordered and what comes in when is REAL rough#especially when youre sharing your product with other departments like me. mary in salad/deli keeps taking my damn vegetables#and the manager isnt getting enough of a budget to buy enough lunch meats for both of us#so im just straight up out of shit half the time and CANT produce#AND. i started this position last year when the fall semester began. i have a list of items on the menu.#some of these items need a specific kind of packaging. that we just. never even got. at all.#so they were like 'ummm why arent we getting the yogurt parfaits' good question. why arent we getting the 4oz portion cups#that i have to put the granola in? cuz if you can answer that question then youve answered the first question.#we got them now but now we're out of yogurt. so like. fuck me i guess.#anyway. id say this is a work in progress but the work started like. 6 months ago. we should have this shit down#part of it is i still dont have a work email address. bc typically they generate those based on your legal name#and i was like um...can we not. i kinda dont want everyone seeing all that. like ik its on my paperwork but. eugh.#and the manager was like yeah thats fine i can put in a request to have it say your preferred name :) im on the pride committee so i can#work on that with them :)))#cool! still have not gotten that email.#ANYWAY#eugh. my job is so damn annoying#the work itself is fine i dont mind that so much now. but the Managing of all of it is a nightmare#i really truly need to gun for better pay when i get the opportunity. i should be making at least lead cook pay.

just saw someone in the reblogs of a certain post talking about how the folk tale Stone Soup is about how to organize and build a collective.... Buddy
#It's about how dumb and selfish ppl are that you need to invoke a fairy tale make believe concept to actually get them to help you#Nobody wanted to feed the homeless soldier he had to come up with a trick to basically get everyone in the village to give them ingredients#To make a fucking soup#I personally have two interpretations of it#1. To survive you have to be cunning#2. The masses will buy into any agenda if there's a fantastical enough story behind it#Hmmmm. I think that second interpretation can be made parallel with something else in our time#But anyway. Its not an earnest story about organization and building collective#Cause the main point is the trickery. The villagers got duped. Fucking. Piss on the poor website

i know most ppl on tumblr wouldnt think this the amount of ppl who qualify any mister beast crit with "but the good hes done isnt undone by this!"
honey u think hes doing anything actually good?
#lots of charities are basically tax write offs for the rich (like him)#putting up random building in countries that need it can be food but 1) white savior vibes and 2) often built cheaply or poorly or to push#values onto those ppl or 3) need to be accompanied by broaded strokes measures theyre not interested in#4) 'random ppl' he throws money at are exploited or their lives are not improved in the long run (for example they couldnt buy like. a#a better car with the money bc they coulsnt afford taxes or insurance and MOST ppl wouldnt know how to use it 'wisely'l

Btw I highly recommend taking your rich/ never build anything themself friend to a DIY store to get stuff for your next project and watch them being all confused
#Don't get me wrong I love her#I really do#But she is like one of those rich RICH girls that just buys everything she needs#And I was raised to try and build stuff myself so I have always done that#And that's not supposed to be a joke at her expends I just find it very interesting how different the growing up experience can be based#Like she had no idea about what j consider the basics of wood working#She suggest to just use normal glue to glue wood together#And then she wanted to know what I needed the varnish for#She then proceed to tell me that ilea has a similar one and it'd be waaaay easier to just get that#I then informed her that that would be like 100€ expensive and that I don't have that kind of money

i just want to play pretty games in 4k why does that have to cost as much as a car? **WHINE**
#i want to upgrade my computer before DA:TV#but it's SO OLD that i basically have to buy everything again but the case#and this local custom-build place is warning me that what i want can cost 3-4k#i do not have the time to hunt down components or rebuild this thing myself#UGH. does that sound like a fairly regular price for a high-end build? i want to say no#but it's probably YEAH

Nothing more frustrating than having a dream set in an amazing book series and then waking up to find out it doesn’t exist. Guess I’VE gotta write this now
#it was so INTERESTING and vivid. i woke up like ‘i swear i’ve read this’ but it doesn’t actually exist#okay so the setting was this world where the moon has cracked in half (potentially due to human intervention idk)#the tides have gone super weird because of this#the majority of humans live at basically the tops of really really tall buildings. like at high altitude#at the lower levels; it’s just water. the lower down you go the humidity increases also#so as well as the humans who live at the top of the world there are vaporous species living at the mid level and there are mer-creatures#in the sea. god knows how agriculture works in this world. i know people had rooftop gardens#maybe everyone had adapted to a vegan diet or maybe there was trade with the mermaids to get fish. idk#anyway; the majority of my dream was concerned with this elite university academy and this one problematic student named alex#he had been sentenced to life imprisonment for basically insulting the government (this was a very totalitarian regime that had formed when#the world first cracked and everything went to shit)#but he would be able to get his sentence overturned if he took this one class (i think it was civics or politics or something#with a media focus) and basically created the best propaganda video imaginable#so they were basically requiring him to recant his claims publicly; endorse the government; and he had to do it so convincingly#that his video would be rated the best in the class#the other people in the class included these two sisters who also badly needed to pass in order to graduate#and a bunch of exchange students#also the sky is basically a television in this world#everyone is up so high that they can see the moon fractured in two and it’s Really close to the earth#but you can’t see much else in the sky. so they were doing shit like beaming everyone’s class schedules and syllabi and lists of what you#need to buy for class directly into the sky#i don’t know if i’m selling it but it was so INTERESTING. i was really annoyed when i woke up and realised i couldn’t actually read this#because it doesn’t exist#APPARENTLY i have to write it. which is worrying because i’m not at all good at worldbuilding. but honestly the dream was so vivid#i can basically just.. take it and expand on it very slightly#i think what interested me was the backdrop of this elite university that all the kids of rich family go to vs the obvious reality#of this world; where there is food scarcity and very little diversity of habitats. and a dictator#personal

you guys know that tiktok audio about homosexual audacity and thinking you can do anything with no prior experience? "no i've never done that but i'm gay so how hard could it be?" that's me right now having almost no knowledge of computers but wanting to build by own pc
#like i know enough to know what i want. but what makes a computer actually run??? no fucking clue#BUT. i bought a gaming laptop like two years ago and it's already crapped out on me. and it's at a repair shop right now but because#it doesn't have standard parts (it's an acer nitro 5 17-inch) it's gonna cost like $750 to replace the motherboard and get it working again#and i bought the thing for $1500. so what the fuck#plus i've been thinking lately that i want to upgrade to an actual pc because i'm not in school anymore and don't currently need a laptop#and when i DID buy my laptop a couple years ago i didn't do enough research about what specs i wanted and i can't actually run#a lot of the games i want to play. so if i do decide to get it fixed i'd also want more storage and GPU. so it would be even more expensive#SO. i'm like. i can either pay like $1000 to fix my laptop which might crap out again in another year or two and need more uncommon parts#replaced. or i can buy a prebuilt pc which would be like $1800 if i'm getting everything i want.#OR i can build my own pc. and still get everything i want BUT in the process i will also learn how to build a computer (and thus how to#fix any problems that arise) and i can make sure to use common parts that can be replaced if they need to be. right?????#idk i kinda think it might be fun. and i've been wanting to learn the basics of computers for a long time because it seems like very useful#skills to have in life. and people say that this is a good way to learn and that it's not THAT hard to do because there's so many resources#and guides online to help you figure out how to do it.#like am i crazy for wanting to do this????#mine
