standings for paris freestyle chess grand slam, day 2

I know it's still early in the tournament but based on the first two round robins and the tournament in Weissenhaus, Hikaru just really isn't that good at freestyle chess. And I think it's probably because his forte being speed chess, he is used to having everything done in a certain way and is struggling to adapt to having no set openings to react and premove to

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’

Johnny... doesn't hate joytoys. People caught that, right? He literally tells you at JigJig Street that he doesn't. The whole deal with Clouds isn't (totally) his being mysoginistic or hating sex workers Just Because - he's pitching a fit from the moment you go to rescue Ev precisely because

A. he's a tired anti-corpo ex-military anarchist who's just seen how little effect his act of literal terrorism had on making a difference. And Judy's plan is gonk and doomed to fail. He knows it. He even tells you at one point that he still probably would have been right there with the two of you physically fighting for the dolls' rights back before when he was alive. But now he recognizes that this plan isn't going to work, isn't going to make a difference, and IS going to get a lot of people killed.

B. He's a disabled vet who had his arm amputated and replaced without so much as a by your leave and struggled so badly to accept and adapt to his prosthesis that he went cyberpsycho from it and believed his hand was evil and controlled him to commit acts of violence. He's a deserter. His dad sold him for a pack of cigs when he was four. He's firmly anti corpo. He's an artist who despises soulless carictures of real emotion. He made the choice to effectively commit suicide in 2023 and had that death ripped away from him by one of his best friends.

Look at me. It's the body autonomy trauma.

Johnny dislikes the entire concept of dolls BECAUSE they voluntarily give up control of their body/awareness during their sessions and that freaks him the fuck out. And also because he views the concept as wish fulfillment via AI rather than an act with real emotion/mutual enjoyment and consent behind it.

Did anyone else fucking get that or am i just arbitrarily connecting dots

The thing about reclaiming slurs is that once you've been affectionally called 'faggot' by friends, loved ones, and amiable fellows on the internet for long enough, you almost forget that it means something else to people who hate you.

Honestly at this point if a stranger on the street yelled "hey faggot!" after me, I'd probably turn around like "what?" like they'd just casually called me by name, and they were only trying to get my attention because they wanted to tell me something, before processing that they're being hostile.

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

hot stuff!

Every episode of Supernatural they ask, "How will we defeat this new and unique monster?" and the answer is "shoot them with guns," mostly.

If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn't get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)

I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can't make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).
