~/Brojetos (anything relating to making stuff, writing, drawing, video creation, programming, etc., professional or personal)

~/temp (a non-hidden temp folder with a script that wipes it when the PC shuts down or reboots, used for downloads and such to prevent the “downloads folder is an abomination” problem that plagues any computer after a while of usage)

~/AppsGames (appimages, applications compiled from source and not installed to system, personal use scripts, wineprefixes, non-steam games)

aaaand ~/OtherAminals (for stuff I want to keep but have no idea where else to place)

Has she ever given a reason?

I don’t remember the last time I saw an advert.

Like, genuinely, I get politely confused when people talk about them. What do you MEAN you’re not adblocking everything? What do you MEAN you still use a service if you can’t adblock it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN you paid for YouTube?

Corporate events

Good god just send me back to the office so I can work already.

Give the CIA time.

The Warp from Warhammer is real. Every mind in the universe is linked in an invisible, non-physical way, and the ~collective vibes~ of those minds feed back into the physical world, creating a loop where everything people believe slowly becomes more ‘true’.

Well, according to one really bad video game, it’s a late 90s mac.

Depends

First see it? I must have been eeeeh six. Saw the word in Civilization: Call to Power

COMPREHEND it? 12 years old at history class.

Sorry for your loss, mate

And thanks for the advice. Even if right now I want to make sad animal noises at the idea of “just doing it”.

It’s been about 5 months, idk if that counts as ‘recently’ (but I’m also VERY nd, so maybe you got a point :p)

That would be pretty neat, which means it won’t happen.

Sorry, not convinced. Wait, not sorry either.

All the most terrible christians I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with were Protestants, whereas Catholics are just sorta there, honestly. (and I won’t comment on Orthodoxy because it’s too foreign. Like they might be terrible or amazing, I just never interacted with them, not a thing in my neck of the woods at all)

It is Evangelical Churches boosting fascist candidates in the US and my own country of Brazil.

If people want to convince me that Protestantism ISN’T authoritarian ultracapitalism in Church Clothes, they’ll have to show me something that stands stronger than the entirety of the past 10 years

Trump, Bolsonaro, all boosted by Protestants.

I can guarantee you that all protestants here in Brazil are like that.

In fact when you consider that protestantism started as a defence of capitalism when the Catholic Church was condemning it – It’s hard to believe the faith isn’t that at its core.

Protestantism.

Protestantism is Christianity but Jesus is Replaced with Capitalism. If you’re rich, God has chosen you. If you’re poor you have definitely committed every sin.

To help the poor is therefore a betrayal of God.

Not worrying about money or visa?

… Like. Tierra del Fuego. Or one of those remote areas of Canada/Alaska

Basically a cold, cold place that rarely sees heat. I detest heat.

I loved school uniforms as a deeply autistic young man who really, REALLY struggled with all the silent peer pressures of fashion.

There was an outfit I could wear without half a thought every day and no one cared.

I’m mostly just quoting a video game that was eerily predictive, is all.

Man

Of all dystopias why is Deus Ex becoming true?

This has shades of a conversation you can have in that game’s Hong Kong where a bartender tells JC something to the effect of “China’s ‘repression’ has ironically preserved people’s ability to keep on like, LIVING. Whereas the United States with all its freedom was carved up and eaten by megacorps”

All of them.

My most radical opinion is that every story ever created should be made to end. And continuing any story past a well-made ending is a crime against storytelling.

We should have a law where sequelising a story that already reached a satisfying end incurs fines that quickly escalate into insane amounts of money. Redirect that dosh into funding actual original art.
