It's funny how the talk from Russia about using nukes if their international border was crossed vanished immediately after it was crossed. Hard to garner sympathy from the world about being invaded when you're waving around a nuclear saber

My coworker told me he's spent I think he said $8,000 on Destiny 2. That was half a year ago or more. So more by now. I was so floored that I don't remember the number exactly but it was astronomical. One of the few times in my life I struggled not to show a disrespectful amount of shock or however you wanna put that.

Today he told me his friends are trying to get him into Warframe. But he said he didn't like the idea of not being able to get into the main quests without jumping through hoops. I don't know either game well, but I'm pretty sure that's ironic.

It's escapism for him, I know that much, so it's tangential.

The torture that is us is karma enough I would say. At least for our citizens. Those in other countries don't deserve this shit.

At least we have giga military. It's useful for Ukraine when the wind blows a certain direction.

I was about to ask for help... But it's isfuck... Goddamnit

Unless I've gone another level of not getting it. In that case, I'm drunk, leave me alone

I had some pet birds when I was younger and played in those cesspool cod xbox lobbies. I would end up derailing the vitriol because everyone would be like, "the fuck, is that a bird? Why is there a bird?"

If there's no tangible gain, like prize money or something, then I would agree with that. I can't really wrap my head around the mindset. I can't imagine playing without the satisfaction of besting or proper teamwork.

My job entails handling certain things for the recently deceased. I processed a Khaleesi yesterday and my dumbass assumed it was a name that meant something for some culture or another, but immediately recognized the name for Daenerys as well.

Having looked, it's totally made up, but it's super badass, if I were to ever have kids, which I won't, cause fuck that, I'd be open to that being my daughter's name. It sounds real cool.

It's the only platform I still regularly engage with minus this, being lemmy, tildes, and watchpeopledie.tv/h/slavshit because I get a lot of interesting stuff to watch and people still come on there on their own to express themselves about stuff I care about. But yeah, the fact that YouTube weathered the onslaught of russian bots and kept all my UA supporting channels up earned my respect. Which it's a great way to keep up if you're not on Telegram, or are just depressed by the shit, I think it's a damn good platform. Best thing google has imo.

But to each their own. I'm not like the vast majority of people.

Edit: I've been suspicious of Mr. Beast for many years. The deadness behind the eyes clued me into him actually. No one that successful with that kinda look is squeaky clean. That's been the only thing besides the obvious this person is wealthy, probably not amazing, that's made me dislike his stuff. Also the clickbaity nature of his content.

I love you for this burn

A BK opened near my office a year or two ago. I've never had a burger I'd describe as depressing before then. But that Bacon King or whatever they called sure was.

I'm stuck in my 2 bedroom townhouse apartment hybrid for 1125 because a studio around me is 1200 a month (or anywhere in range of my office). I live alone, and sleep on my couch, I don't need the rooms, but I can't leave.

Great job capitalism!
