A tweet by Nintendo Life captioned "Random: Japanese Parents Are Using Pikmin To Keep Their Children In Line". It is accompanied by a cropped image of the Pikmin 4 box art to show the Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Red Pikmin, and Crystal Pikmin.ALT
A reddit post titled "Pikmin 4 changed improved my life and I fucking hate it". The post reads: "Every single time I have something that needs doing that I don’t want to do I just think to myself, “Dandori issue.” Every single time. And it works. Every. Single. Time.  The only way I get so much done now is by dreaming of being one of these weird little plant guys. How do I explain that to my parents? My friends, even?! How do I tell them that my sudden drastic increase in productivity is from getting over my Dandori issue??  I just want to go back I don’t want to be a pikmin anymore. I don’t want to hear their little carrying song when I take my laundry out of the machine. How do I unplay pikmin."ALT

I firmly believe it shouldn't be embarrassing for you to have your real life be bettered by fiction. I think it's one of the best things about fiction and the mark of truly great art. Fun for fun's sake is also valuable, but part of the point of fiction is exploring ideas and perspectives that you are not naturally encountering in your normal daily life. If you have a healthy fiction diet you'll go to more imaginary places than you can ever afford to travel and peer deeper into more characters' souls and minds than you ever could with most real people, and if the art is good and you're paying attention then OF COURSE you're gonna learn something from all of that!

Nobody’s forcing you to buy these yk

Nobody’s forcing you to walk into, I wanna say hobby lobby (a Christian store, mind you)? and walk past the crosses on sale for 50% off

Ngl this is a very weak comeback

i mean nobody's forcing conservatives to buy pride merch, but they still scream about how we're shoving our lifestyle down their throats just bc they saw a rainbow in the store, so idk. i feel like it's pretty comparable

Oddly I don’t see a single occupation listed besides the last where they’ll murder you just because they’re having a bad day and automatically get away with it.

I have only love for the USPS.

reminder that cops have also been logging covid deaths (after refusing to comply with masking orders nationwide) as on-duty fatalities, as well as everything from heart attacks to car crashes to friendly fire. a really significant amount of cop deaths aren't actually due to Criminal Violence, but it's significant that the cops act as though *all* of them are.

fuck cops

If you use Zoom, be aware that they’ve decided they’re going to use your input (from both free and paid accounts) to train their new AI tools. And there’s apparently no way to opt out of this. :/

So here are some open source alternatives.
