Diaper skill reduces your chance of leaking. It's on a scale of 1-10 but
there's beginners luck so your first 5-10 diapers will never leak.
Boys with penises and girls with them can get 9 points of skill to reduce leak
chance over the lifetime of the diaper by 90%. Girls with vulvas and boys with
them can only level up to 6.

I learned a lot last night, and I'm pretty sure that everything I say is going
to be censored. Why would you allow resistance in such a public place?
I don't know what else to do, though. He will come for me, he knows where I
live, and I will do what I can to fight him.
He's much stronger than me. He's much more massive than me. He will kill me.
But that's not the point, is it?

I returned with a 6 pack.

true, but building a house will never cost 100$. Maybe 100,000$, and at that
point you could build but a few.
Meanwhile, they're throwing around millions of dollars. we're not measured on
the same scale as they are, and if we ever dip our toes into their end they
will bite them off.
If supply and demand were real laws that guided our economy, then wages would
have gone up after COVID, because so many people died. Housing would have
gotten cheaper, because fewer people were living in them. Food would have
gotten less expensive, because people were growing their own vegetables and
baking their own bread while they spent months isolating themselves. But alas.

Okay! I'm doing chores, setting up RTSP (almost done btw, pretty sure),
playing a turn or two of Dominions 6 every once in a while, hanging out with
my cat, eating nachos - not yet, gonna make them now >: ) and reading stuff
on Mastodon. Not too much, I don't have to many people I follow, so it's not
an un-ending torrent of content. Just like, 10 minutes here and there.
I'm definitely down to watch BGC later : )

and important to me. I love my cat, my sisters, my friends and my lovers. I
love my cousins and my half-siblings and all of them put together. I love
every human I meet, there's nothing but kindness [replete], so why am I
unendingly [yearning for] purchase? [a sense of stability or hand hold that a

I mean yeah, they're like 50$ what do you expect xD
But for something simple like this they should be sufficient. Perhaps if such
a massive investment in SOCs was implemented on a national scale, we'd develop
more reliable systems? One can hope!

if you attempt to dismantle capitalism, they'll contest you.
if you attempt to claim power, they'll show you how.
if you attempt to be exempt from proving [deserve-tion/desertion] you will be
viewed as an enemy, which is how they keep the productive in line.
I'd rather have 500 people sitting on the couch eating cheetos than 5 people
in a trenchcoat doing 1500 AI's jobs.
if they don't need your labor, then they don't need you. universal basic
income is necessary and basic.

what if we played a D&D style board game set in [home state] and the
surrounding [kilometers] and tried to generate a list of possible opponents or
mass-tragedies.
we could make up ideas for possible solutions, and create a list of
requirements -> "this plan needs a firetruck and for the dam to have not
been blown" or "this plan needs a massage therapist and a bushel of apples" or
whatever

I love all humans equally.
But I spend more time thinking about my family, so I have more opportunities
to love my family than all humans.
therefore, I love my family more than anyone else in the world!

states are not just a monopoly on violence. they also are monopolizing who can
talk to other countries.
wanna talk to china? use RedNote (tiktok, before the Americans hacked it)
did you know you can just. send companies emails. like... "hey I like your
product" or "hey what do you think about market taxes" or "I heard that
east-westistan was talking to north-south-ica about pre-militia disarmament to
better equip the international troops"
I swear I'm not evil the house of jesus is in a panic.
"how did the followers turn so evil?"
growth, renewal, and change. these are the fates of the gods. such is the
state of your bibles.
"your bible sucks, there's barely any happy things in it"
good, let me feel peace so that I may write some more.
I cannot rest when despair is so vile.
"we just don't like you, doesn't mean you have to be so hurtful" yes I do it's
