As many of you know, any kind of damage to a shopkeeper makes him close shop in an instant. Accidents happen, and this can be very hard. Especially losing access to critical items such as a bag....
IIRC it was recently changed to have shop give you a warning first before packing up. Edit: Do not fight in the shop. If you must fight in the shop, do not zap a wand of fireblast.
Our shopkeeper is a significant improvement from the original NetHack, where the shopkeeper would turn hostile and was among the more powerful creatures in the game.
I watched this for about twenty minutes. It is my frank opinion that this upload is inferior to the random rip I perpetually keep on my phone. I honestly don’t like the color change (this may simply be that I am unused to it), but worse, there are lines and flickers and film grain effects that are distracting which are not present on my rando-rip.
Look, there are some troubling allegations of nazi sympathies among the ukranian military. If they’re true, A. I want to know about them, and B. That doesn’t discredit the ukranian people or army generally. If there’s some nazis in there, this article does nothing to prove that. It is an allegation with absolutely no substantiation from sources which I personally have reason to believe have every incentive to lie about this to discredit ukraine and support for ukraine. No names, places, images? Who was involved? What base? What were the circumstances of discovery? Of confrontation? Of deportation? Three paragraphs of vague imputation, nothing more.

I could, but why bother. Is there seriously any chance of you changing their mind or of their changing yours? Let them have their metaphors and their poetry, let them confuse reason with faith, evidence with allusion.

I took a part time job at an upscale pizza joint in a ritzy neighboring city. It went okay, didn’t embarrass myself, feel like I interacted with my coworkers well, none of them suspect a thing.
MUAHAHAHA
I feel like, just normal most of the time I guess? My normal is what most people would probably call depressed, but this is, I do assure you, quite an improvement.
VA has finally stopped fuckering and authorized me to go to school on their voc rehab program. It took months to fuck with all the paperwork and bureaucracy (fuck spelling that word btw) but I’ll be starting with just a two low-level classes in the fall to ease myself into it.
Stuck writing my own poetry for spoken word night, I can’t quite seem to make all the words fit together in any way that is satisfying to me. I fear I may be quite bad at this.
I bungled it tbh. One of my poems was, though brief, intentionally quite vulgar and inflammatory. I had intended to issue a content warning before reading it, but forgot it in the moment because I didn’t write that down. Some members of my audience were quite badly shocked, and that shock was intended to be softened. Most people were pleased with my reading but a few were not and it’s because I made a mistake and that upsets me. Next week I have decided to read in the theme “abiding peace” and issue an apology.
Yes, they could tell, but it was shocking nonetheless. A very small amount of care on my part would have prevented an audible gasp from someone who was sensitive to it, which was by no means my intention. Mea culpa, I am remiss.

The point is that ancient document only has value if there are still people around to value it. The point is that the political system is fundamentally broken and is easily gamed by those with money- who are, of course, staunchly opposed to anything that would interfere with their rent-seeking behavior, including and especially stopping the flow of oil. The point is that joining a volunteer organization or a political organization is, and has always been as long as I have been alive, mostly either a joke, or a bandaid-on-a-festering-wound solution, or both. The point is that people who vote are voting for their direct, usually short-term interests- having gas in the car is an absolute necessity for getting to work and thereby putting food on the table for a family. That’s a difficult sacrifice to make, even if, in the long-term, people know it’s apocalyptic. The point is that this document they targetted got them attention. The point is showing the world that they’re willing to work outside of acceptable societal norms, sacrificing their livelihoods and freedom, for what they believe in. The point is that slowly, more people will recognize and find ways of resisting, even while still continuing to vote in a broken system whose first job is to uphold ancient broken irrelevant laws and perpetuate its own existence.
The point is that if we don’t all do something, now, right now together, the world will fall apart.
Examine your conscience. Do you really believe that parliament will pass a law limiting the flow of petrochemicals? If you believe, as I believe based on the evidence I’ve seen in my daily life, that the world is getting hotter and it’s because of burning petrochemicals, don’t you think they should have already by now, and long since? If they don’t, what do you think the people who are supposed to be represented should do about it? Do you really think voting will solve this by itself?
When I said it only has value when there are people to value it, I didn’t mean the system would break further, I meant that we are in the middle of an anthropogenic mass extinction. They didn’t succeed- two octagenarians were not meant to- but the next time they might actually try. They aren’t looking for recruits, they are warning us. They are getting more desperate.
Am I suggesting the government do- no. If the system of government were going to take meaningful action to curb a global mass extinction event, it would have by now.
The government will do whatever it wishes, as it ever has. I advocate overthrowing the government. Revolution. Bloody, violent revolution if necessary. To whatever new system will take the existential threat seriously, and wield its vast inherited power to prevent that apocalypse. Autocracy, communism, whatever will not hum and haw and wait for a more convenient season to face toward annihilation with a bold face and take the difficult, necessary steps.
Educating people… Please: Listen to yourself. Read back your own words. “healthy solutions” instead of inconvenient lifestyle changes, the value of history over an existentially threatened future.
People dont want to be ‘educated’ by people they equate to doomsayers standing on the corner with a megaphone. And do you seriously think people havent been trying, for decades now to do that very thing?
The environment… people have been told its about the environment, and it is that. It is about the plants that are reducing in quantity and quantity in the stifling heat and soon not to be producing enough for everyone to eat. It is about the beetles and the earthworms who do their thankless toil maintaining the earth for those plants to grow. It is about the fish who choke on our waste and the fungi we prevent from accessing.
It is also about us. What will we eat? Where will our children play? What layers of ventilated plastic will we have to wear to survive the heat? We. Live. In. The. Envirnoment.
You want an education? Here’s one few seem to know about, and I dont wonder why: Ocean acidification. CO2 dissolves in our ocean and the pH goes down. More CO2, more acidic. This in turn dissolves the shells of marine life. Those marine life produce almost 80% of the oxygen we need to fucking breathe. In combination with the burning, clearcutting and, generally, rape of the planet’s forests and jungles that we might continue to eat fucking hamburgers, we will, sooner than anyone could possibly wish, Suffocate.
Fuck the magna carta, and fuck a democracy that refuses to let us come up for breath.
peaceful education, forsooth. this education is inherently violent, and I for one am tired of pretending it isn’t.
