Just occurred to me that Astarion forgets what his own eye color used to be and yet remembers Sebastian’s name and if that doesn’t tell you more about his true character behind the lies and posturing then I don’t know what does

My gym buddy told me that on his multiplayer #BaldursGate3 campaign his friend hated Astarion and handed him over to the Gur hunter first chance he got and it’s honestly unreasonable how offended I am
Like, OBVIOUSLY Astarion is great, but moreso my friend got cheated out of the best voice acting and character development possibilities in the game

So I seem to have accidentally picked up #powerlifting as an old man, and holy ${profanity} it makes me feel good. Not really in a “chasing numbers” way (though I can see how that might appeal to some folx too), but in a very directly physiological “I feel happy like I’m on drugs” kind of way. 🤔 #Endorphins

I so, so, so don't want to drive any new car that can do this:
A federal appeals court refused to bring back a class action lawsuit alleging four auto manufacturers had violated Washington state’s privacy laws by using vehicles’ on-board infotainment systems to record and intercept customers’ private text messages and mobile phone call logs.
The court ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors, which are defendants in five related class action suits focused on the issue.
The plaintiffs had appealed a prior judge’s dismissal. But the appeals court ruled Tuesday that the interception and recording of mobile phone activity did not meet the Washington Privacy Act’s standard that a plaintiff must prove that “his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation” has been threatened.
A suit filed against Honda in 2021, argu[ed] that beginning in at least 2014 infotainment systems in the company’s vehicles began downloading and storing a copy of all text messages on smartphones when they were connected to the system.
An Annapolis, Maryland-based company, Berla Corporation, provides the technology to some car manufacturers but does not offer it to the general public, the lawsuit said. Once messages are downloaded, Berla’s software makes it impossible for vehicle owners to access their communications and call logs but does provide law enforcement with access, the lawsuit said.
Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic, according to earlier reporting by Recorded Future News. Automakers are exponentially increasing the number of sensors they place in their cars every year with little regulation of the practice.

At the end of the day, COVID-19 made people realize:
- They could work from home and that most offices are shitty places.
- Their job was really shitty.
- Governments could finance pretty much anything they wanted.
- Global warming could be stopped.
- The really important jobs were the ones that are the worst paid (nurses, for instance).
- Most governments are run by idiots, who are in the pocket of the wealthiest.

Trump has a 50/50 chance of becoming dictator and getting away with everything and I still hear people think he's just a big baby floundering. He's better at getting away with crimes than you've ever been at anything. Beating him starts with that realization.

This is disgraceful that Elizabeth Warren has come out and support a flawed yet true censorship bill in #KOSA which would be a death blow to LGBTQIA+ voices everywhere if passed into law. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10/03/senator-elizabeth-warren-supports-bill-to-silence-lgbtq-voices/

That’s TERRIBLE advice if you approach Bethesda games as I do- from an RP/exploratory angle. As this thread has shown, NG+ retroactively made everything in an otherwise enjoyable game feel trite and pointless to me
