"Make a mess dripping crimson and bone-"
I would like to share with you all some absolutely raw advice my mom gave me about my anxiety today
even if you care deeply about some specific kind of suffering you do not have to fill your life with as many upsetting stories of that type of suffering as possible. that is just signing up to have a bad time.
does you absorbing this information help you benefit a cause? and even if you are benefitting a cause, are you doing something productive with more of these stories or are they just making you feel bad? are you taking more effective action or just getting overwhelmed with sadness? is surrounding yourself with stuff that upsets you helping you more than it hurts you?
One time in driver's ed training we stopped in the middle of nowhere off the highway at a combination KFC and Taco Bell. Guy at the counter was wearing a Taco Bell hat and asked "KFC or Taco Bell?" before I said anything, so I said "uhh, KFC?" and this fucker dipped behind the counter and reappeared with a KFC hat on instead

Phenomenon I feel happens a lot
[ID: a doodle of two people looking away from each other. The first person is thinking, "If they wanted me to know they would tell me. I shouldn't ask about it." The second person is thinking, "If they cared about it they would ask me. I shouldn't talk About it." End ID.]
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!
Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.
since this is going round again i really want to state how much i truly do not need hair loss prevention advice. this comic is not about that. this comic is about learning to be okay with maybe getting bald. this comic is about how balding can be sexy. its okay. kim is here to help
Gonna cut a bitch and be kawaii while I do it
OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THOUGH
okay so these things are called “Jang-mi Kal” which is Korean for “Rose Knife”, exactly what it says on the tin
AND THEY WERE ADVERTISED AS BEING THE SHARPEST THING ON EARTH LIKE THERE IS NOTHING THESE BADASS MOTHERFUCKERS COULDN’T CUT
GIANT COW BONE? YOU BET
PADLOCKS? NO PROBLEM
STEEL PIPES? YEP
ITSELF???
HOLY SHIT
understandably, after these commercials aired, they took the korean internet by storm, and for a brief while jang-mi kal enjoyed ultimate meme status during which some glorious glorious parodies were made
they’re the strongest fucking weapon on earth
and that was your daily lesson on korean internet meme culture
game companies should be fucking EMBARRASSED about being inaccessible. it should be mortifying to ship a game with shit captions or no UI scaling options or no option to disable flashing / strobing effects. games lauding their character customization should be laughingstocks for not including hearing aids or congenital disorders or prosthetic limbs. EA should be publicly fucking humiliated for the sims series being 23 goddamn years old and include cats and dogs and horses and werewolves and zombies and mermaids and star wars and not FUCKING WHEELCHAIRS.
visual novel games should be screen reader compatible and controls should be fully re-mappable by fucking default also.
Can I Play That? does reviews of accessibility in games btw. even if you do not need accessibility features personally I think it's important to familiarize yourself with the range of options that are or aren't commonly available + reflect on who is being left out of gaming communities and development because of it
and also personally blowing a kiss to every modder who has put in the time and effort that devs chose not to in order to represent and include disabled people. I love you
BTW for anyone too lazy to do the math a wage of $125 a day works out to about $15/hour for an 8-hour workday so..... someone in 1923 definitely had a vision of the future
