  • I actually thought about this a while ago. Surely there are many hated people in the world, but some world leaders take the cake. I would pay to piss on Putin’s grave for example. So… Why isn’t there a business opportunity here? Buy the graveyard holding them, sell tickets to piss on Putin/Trump/Kimjong/Xi/whoever. You can make it into a holiday - 1000 euro for a weekend in a Moscow hotel, you visit the Kremlin, you piss on Putin’s grave, you go home with a shirt that says “I literally pissed on Putin and all I got was this lousy Polonium-engraved t-shirt”. I almost bought pissonputinsgrave.com when I thought about this, but I lack the funds to actually buy their graveyards.

    Surely there’s something here for our society, right? We’re all tired of oppression at the hands of a few power-hungry old fucks and are just waiting for them to die so that we can finally release our common prostate. Or is it just me and you that would love the satisfaction of defiling the corpses of these cunt dictators?


  • “Why did you pull me over?”

    “Sir, we’re here because your house was robbed.”

    Fake af. When your house is robbed, you can go fuck yourself - your shit is gone unless you’ve got GPS trackers in it. Here’s a more likely scenario:

    “Why did you pull me over?”

    “4 years ago you filed a report that your house was robbed. This is now becoming a problem, as people have noticed we do nothing for society, and your report is adding to that statistic. Would you like to close it, or shall we go ahead and process that broken taillight?”

    “what broken taillight?”

    “down on the ground! I said down!” <sounds of gunshots hitting car, sounds of body hitting steering wheel, sounds of prolonged honking, sounds of thin blue line erections, sounds of coke being sprinkled>





  • The only thing I’ve tried that actually works: apps like Sleep Cycle.

    The app tracks your sleep, but that’s secondary for you. What you want out of it is the alarm part. You give it an interval of time when you want to wake up, and it’ll do it based on which sleep stage you’re in.

    The idea is simple - you have different stages of sleep. Sometimes you’re in deep sleep, sometimes in REM (rapid eye movement), sometimes in light sleep - there may be others, idm. You want to wake up from light sleep, that’s when you feel the most fresh. Waking up from deep sleep you’re all groggy and still half asleep. So the app determines when you’re in the lightest sleep, and it plays an alarm gradually, so that you’re not just scared awake.

    You can read more here: https://www.sleepcycle.com/features/smart-alarm-clock/

    The thing is, this feature is actually not why I got the app. I wanted to track my sleep, I didn’t really care about how I woke up. But I honestly just found it easier to wake up with this, so now I recommend it.

    Me this morning on the phone with mage support: My carriage’s doors get stuck when messengers try to deliver me messages from the king.

    Mage support: I’m gonna need you to bring the carriage in.

    I go to the mage’s quarters.

    Me: Here’s the carriage, mage. Is this gonna take long or should I wait around?

    Mage: give me your crystal number and I’ll project astrally when we’re done.

    Minutes later.

    Mage, appearing on my crystal: have your doors ever opened for messengers from the king?

    Me: nah, ever since I got the carriage it’s been closed doors. It works for other messengers though. Just not messengers from the king.

    Mage: yeah, we’re gonna need to recreate the carriage from scratch for security reasons.

    Motherfucker if your fix for the laptop’s inability to connect to wifi is to format the thing, you’re not IT, you’re a script kiddie. My bad - you’re not a mage, you’re a peasant selling counterfeit potions.

    Every week you gotta:

    • dust all rooms
    • vacuum all rooms
    • mop rooms without carpet
    • cook multiple times depending on how you get organized
    • clean kitchen after each cooking session
    • do the dishes
    • laundry multiple times
    • grocery shop
    • iron clothes
    • clean the bathroom
    • take out the trash multiple times

    Every few weeks you gotta:

    • wash curtains
    • clean the stove
    • clean up that closet or drawer that’s full of stuff you don’t know where to put
    • whatever else I can’t think of right now

    Every few months you gotta:

    • defrost the freezer & clean the fridge
    • deep clean some areas
    • some other things probably

    Add a regular 8h job on top, add commitments (visit for someone’s birthday, go out with friends etc), add some hobbies (gaming? Rock climbing? Whatever floats your boat, it still takes time)…

    I would burn out faster doing all this shit than postponing my cleaning until someone visits. I try to weave in some chores between the essential stuff, but it always adds up and I need to spend a weekend catching up.

    Hot take: no it hasn’t. Because the alternative is you don’t mark interactive objects. And then the stairs are somehow blending in with the background because of some color choices, or the day/night cycle makes you miss some object in the dark, or the ring you’re supposed to get for the main quest is lost in the grass and can’t be found etc.

    And you know what you get then? The least immersive option in the world: the player can’t find the thing they’re looking for and can’t progress, so they log off and post a question on a forum and they continue to play in a day, when they receive the answer. I don’t think that’s more immersive than marking the object.
