fun fact: new zealand has the highest rates of homelessness in the OECD because we've been in a real estate bubble since like 1980

Man, it’s kinda dark seeing people talk about how Leda is the worst person ever, meanwhile her story and backstory are based on the actual historical expulsion of the Romani from IRL Aragorn/Arago Spain and it’s like, the first time a Romani protagonist exists that also gets to do a revenge story

I did her route first, and now that I am halfway through Cai's, I can tell I got a very fundamentally different first impression of her than most people as a result lmao

I can accept a few years of soft paycut in exchange for remaining fully remote, assuming better options don't appear. I'll be looking for but not actively seeking other opportunities, and that isn't a terrible state of affairs.

its a very long term solution to the 'hey fuck you, no more pay rises' problem, probably a year or more, but if my immediate prospects for different jobs that keep me fully WFH don't pan out, I think I could just stay and enter cruise mode to see if that pans out. the money isn't BAD, after all.

My boss' boss made some good noises about establishing a dedicated Team Lead and Principal roles in my team, the latter of which would be for me if I didn't quit (the TL role would be for my TL who is on like 40k less than me and got banded even worse)

I was super into Amphoreus, but it started to lose me a bit as it got weirder. I wasn't that into Planarcadia, because it was a bit weird. But now? Oh, now I'm locked in.

ground meat, even more so than other cuts, is a global market. afaik the current silliness is a combination of an underproduction in the USA (which is cyclical for complex and stupid reasons) and some other contributing factors, and its fucks over the price for *everyone*

greg @greg.nz · 27/09/2026

WINZ (our local poor folks agency) has spent *decades* focusing on how to cook ground beef as the go-to affordable protein and now its simply not cheaper than anything else anymore lmao

Its quite jarring going from the climax of one character's story to the humble beginnings of another.

“If you kill a murderer, the amount of murderers in the world stays the same”? So kill more than one. Duh.

The fact that there is always at least one Tesla parked outside Gun City is a good real world example of environment storytelling

seconded, its just a little thing, a nice little gesture rather than anything grand or otherwise unseemly

look, you can't just punish trump when dems are in power. that might make republicans do something crazy, like stage a coup, illegally shred the federal bureaucracy, or even vstart abducting people off the street and extraditing them to torture sites all over the world

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Better to be open about it, in my opinion. Nobody should suffer in silence. I hope your mental weather improves soon!
