RAINBOW ROAD, NOW IN DEVELOPMENT

My mother grew up within biking distance of Bill Watterson in Ohio and would like everyone to know:

“Snow Goons” like this are very real

If anything, Mr. Watterson has toned down the scale and horror of some them.

Cartoons messed people up on what rabies looks like. Ppl think of a rabid animal and assume it's always snarling and frothing at the mouth and ready to attack. Rabid animals can appear really friendly because they lose human fear and they might approach you supposedly looking for food. It might look like a deer stumbling in circles and limping and falling over as if it's injured and disoriented. Might looks like a fox repeatedly trying and failing to stumble to its feet and unable to pick its head up. Their brains are melting. They might seem angry but they might also seem confused or injured or in need. But if you try to help that injured crying fox you could end up getting bit by an animal that's basically already dead and then your brain will melt too

[polyhexian]

ABSOLUTELY. A lot of rabid animals look sick and injured and your natural instinct is wanting to help them. People do not know what rabies actually looks like. There is a reason you aren't supposed to interact with wild animals, ESPECIALLY ones that seem friendly.

These animals all look sick, because they are sick. Rabies is so much more than just aggression. If you saw an animal like this it would be hard NOT to want to help it. It looks like it's sold because it is. It looks like it's in pain because it is. Everyone should know what rabies looks like because it is 100% fatal, there is no cure for rabies, if you are exposed to rabies and don't get treatment there is nothing that can be done for you. Once you have symptoms of rabies appear, it is too late. You are going to die and you are going to die one of the worst deaths imaginable. PLEASE make sure you never fuck around with rabies, if you are ever bit by a wild animal, ESPECIALLY a bat, do not ever risk it, go to the hospital immediately. Do not hesitate literally ever ever ever

[bogleech]

Yeah I love the buttons work but I've always wondered why it exists exactly, why are the other buttons under there? You can't click them or change the order near as I can tell??

Tapping it used to open a menu to select a post type. That was removed because all post types were merged, but they kept the snake.

Wait, do people know about the Before I Play wiki?

I have used this for..... at this point easily over 6 years. It's a wiki where there will be low-spoiler/non-spoiler hints about just stuff you would want to know before playing a game.

It's always stuff like.... "Vitality in this game is useless, put your points in everything else first" or "Don't leave the second hub town until you buy X item, it'll become unobtainable."

Lemme pick an example almost everyone will know. From the Animal Crossing New Horizons page, the first tip is:

Nearly everything on the island is movable later, including all buildings and even cliffs and rivers. The main things that are fixed are the stuff on the border of the island (river mouths, beaches, rocks/peninsulae, the dock and the airport) and the resident services plaza, so picking your island layout should be based around that primarily.

That's stellar advice, tbh, given what you'll know about the game 30 hours in instead of 30 minutes.

Not every game is covered obviously and not every piece of advice is good, it's all subjective, BUT..... I look up almost every game I play for the first time, just to keep stuff in mind. The SMT4 page had top tier advice imo.

seeing a lot of "almost christmas means it wasn't christmas" memes already and it's not even christmas eve, so remember:

When absolutely 0 of Biden’s accomplishments have made any kind of news, and we’ve been fed a steady diet of fear and panic for 3 years, no one gets to be shocked when he loses the next election to Donald 2.0.

Posting anything positive about the president here will get you called a capitalist bootlicker.

What do we expect to happen?

Anger sells better. Anger feels better, it feels righteous.

It’s easier to protest against a president you don’t like then to actually remain in charge and keep pushing ahead, even if small, consistent accomplishments are all you receive.

[mini-wrants]

I know I’ll never be missing an election in my life again (barring some kind of major medical event).

I just wish it weren’t so damn frustrating, feeling like you’re screaming into the void constantly, fighting against apathy.

CMS just announced that the government will start taking high-cost drugs that were developed with taxpayer dollars and start pulling patents to force competition and low cost generics. That’s fucking momentous.

I saw 1 news article on it. I wouldn’t have known it happened if I didn’t read the news every day. This should have caused the kind of celebration that erupted when companies started announcing $35 insulin caps. Why didn’t it?

Low cost hearing aids, lower and $0 student loans, concrete investments in green architecture…there was an announcement like 2 days ago to replace all leaded pipes out of US cities over the next 10 years, which will be an absolute boon in jobs for construction workers and can make our homes safer for kids. I’m sure I’ll see a headline in a year, “Biden’s lead pipe program causes drivers traffic headaches.”

[mini-wrants]

Republicans want 20 foot concrete barriers topped with barbed wire across the entire southern border, and Democrats want amnesty and ease to citizenship for just about anyone who crosses, and it really seems like until a compromise is made somewhere in there, Republicans will continue to turn out in massive numbers to elections because God told them to, and Democrats will continue to stay home because the last president didn’t accomplish 100% of their goals and voting for an imperfect president is a personal and ethical failing.

Now take that mentality and spread it over every single social and economic issue.

A really mean prank you can play on someone who's picky about words is to add a 'definitely->definitively' autocorrect rule to their keyboard.
