  • I knew someone who used to say this about the Republicans and abortion, that they used the issue for fundraising from evangelicals and they weren’t actually going to overturn Roe v Wade. I didn’t think she’s saying that anymore.

    (Although immigration is very much a different topic, the oligarchs in charge mostly seem to realize that undocumented immigrants and H1B visa workers are much easier to exploit and abuse, so it’s in their best interest to not fuck with those programs too much. But DeSantis did and fucked up the citrus industry in Florida for a while…)




  • I didn’t have a 3ds when it was current because of getting a headache the one time I tried one, but I bought a new 3ds last year and I have no issues with having the 3d on for shorter gaming sessions. The eye tracking seems to be a huge improvement for me.

    I’ve played Virtual Boy games on my 3ds and it’s pretty amazing. You’re right that due to the 3d being optional in most games means they couldn’t really use it in gameplay, but with the Virtual Boy games, those were designed for and must be played in 3d. It really made me wonder what could have been for the 3ds if all the things about the hardware that made the 3ds special were used in more creative ways.

    So, I’m queer and originally from Orlando, and I used to listen to WJRR, the local rock station, in the I heart Radio app (don’t use it, fuck clear channel). One morning in June 2016, I shuffled outside for my first cigarette and I decided to check my phone. There’s a push notification, from the I heart Radio app, about a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. And that’s how I found out that there was a mass shooting at Pulse. That is probably the most jarring and horrifying push notification I’ll ever receive in my life.
