  • It’s from Ground News. It shows coverage in media across the left/right spectrum.
    It allows for easier evaluation whether it is actual news and not something just pushed by one side.

    In this particular case I’d say it’s a reasonable distribution. There are more right wing outlets, and they prefer to push anything that resembles discord in the DNC. Otherwise they’d have to report on their own team and try to sell the actual news from there as a good thing.





  • 10 STR - Used to be 14 when I worked out.
    12 DEX - Used to be 16, but I’ve kind of stiffened up with age.
    10 CON - Average. Always has been.
    12 INT - I wouldn’t be able to get paid loads for the occasional perl hack if I wasn’t. However, see below.
    8 WIS - See below.
    8 CHA - See below.

    Int and wis might be the other way around. My experiences leads me to conclude that I’m reasonably smart, but still prone to stupid decisions. I’m not sure if I have wisdom that makes up for lack of int, or if lack of wisdom sabotaged my int. My will save is awful, though.

    As for charisma, I am OK looking, but I severely lack social skills. I have what you’d call charisn’tma.






  • While this can certainly be interpreted as defending awful people (which I’m sure someone will, prepare for downvotes because many only read the first paragraph and do not understand nuance) with an awful message, I tend to agree with you.

    Music is art, and like any artwork its quality does not depend on its message. I have to admit that the gay fish was never the kind of artist I enjoyed simply because the rap tracks I like are few and far between. (Wtf is drill rap?)

    But to use a different angle: I’ve always been a metal head, and there’s quite a lot of black metal that I enjoy. And as most sensible people understand, that doesn’t make me a satanist, nor do I endorse burning of churches.

    So the obvious question is then: Is Ye’s newer stuff any good? Well, fuck if I know. I cannot name a single song Ye made. But he’s not exactly making it more tempting to try and like his stuff. Anyway, fuck him and fuck the horse he rode in on.

    EDIT: I did some research. I remember Golddigger. That’s all.





  • This was me in 2014. I didn’t think of it as drowining, it felt more like a plow working against too much snow: Things kept piling up in front, and not enough was shoved away, to the point where things started coming over the plow and starting to bury me.

    Took me five years, some help, and a lot of luck to get things under control and start turning things around. And in 2024 all expensive debts were paid off.

    It takes effort, but it can get better.
