Just a little note for anyone who might want to interact with me, it's hard for me to make a post like this:
I have some friends who may say things that others might disagree with. This unfortunately sometimes involves politics.
Contrary to what people say, if you happen to agree with something someone on a right-leaning political spectrum has said, that does not automatically make you a rightoid right wing bigoted racist and all those sort of words.
Conversely, it also applies to the left-side too.

I have friends on both left and right side of politics. I try to be neutral and see both sides in as many things as I can. Listening to opinions from all the same sorts of people and creating an echo chamber for yourself must not be fun. it's important to diversify it sometimes. Since I have friends on both sides of stuff, when I'm talking to friends who have opinions I do not agree with, I usually just explicitly talk to them about what we are both interested in in-common, or things i find interesting that they may do as well.

I believe that people should be free to be friends with whoever they want to be friends with and I don't really agree with mutual policing unless it's for a really serious reason (i.e. noncery or actual fucking serious crimes).

I try to be as honest as I can usually and I don't like lying to people, but if you have an issue with something I'm doing or have said please try to bring it up to me personally. I'm autistic and I may not immediately pick up on it myself due to social understanding issues. I will gladly talk out any issue you think you might have with me as I want to try to improve myself to be the best version I can be.

Thanks guys and I hope we can have some great interactions together on fedi :)

rumor that a new xbox is coming out in 2026. i'm thinking, damn. already??

then i realize... the current gen consoles came out in 2020. 3 years ago. still seems like they're extremely new. 2020 does not feel like it was 3-4 years ago man. 2016 feels like it was 4 years ago xD

first session of ghostrunner 2, pretty good so far. haven't really gotten to a lot of the new stuff though so i can't comment too much on that.

the game runs buttery smooth too... or it would, if it didn't have fucking traversal stutter. this is the major thing holding back unreal engine and it is super annoying. still, it's kind of nice being able to play a game at max settings, 1440p, 144fps. it looks nice, it plays nice, it's just those damn stutters that get in the way.

>current seasonal event in pso2 ends in 3 days
>good stuff still in the seasonal shop
>i have to grind a quest at least 30 more times to get stuff i want

alright..... time to get down to business

@Flick I can you the exact number of times I've nearly been robbed, actually been robbed, nearly shot at and actually shot at just delivering a pizza.

That number was 16 in a space of two months.

One of my coworkers today was telling me that she doesn't like to have candles in her house because they're made with runoff from oil refineries and that you are essentially breathing in oil and it ruins your lungs. I joked with her that smoking is better for you, because she smokes lol.

I was curious though, so I looked it up. Turns out that there are multiple kinds of wax that candles are made out of, the only one being derived from oil being parrafin wax. All of mine use soy. Apparently, parrafin wax isn't all that bad for you anyway as long as you're not exposed to it burning for over 8 hours a day.

It's just really funny the things that people latch onto, like my other coworker getting freaked out that Lucky Charms uses a "cleaner" as one of its top ingredients (literally just trisodium phosphate). Or, my obese roommate trying to tell me that it's possible to get too much nutrition when I was putting spinach onto my wheat bread sandwich. I undoubtedly have things like this too, as I'm sure we all do, I just think it's funny.

Sometimes just listening to some music in the dark and relaxing is the best thing in the world. If you haven't done it in a while, make some time for it. Lie down in bed or sit in a comfy chair, play one of your favorite albums, close your eyes, and just listen. Just drift for a bit. We all need that sometimes.
