2025, Saw the Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw

It's a comedy musical with a tiny cast Seeing it live was a hilariously fun night. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoyed the first couple of Saw movies.

Without spoiling it too much, it expanded on the latent gay tension between the two main characters in the first movie and included several jokes for fans of the series.

My favorite musical is the Sweeny Todd casting with Angela Lansbury. The characters are all perfectly cast, and Angela Lansbury is a treat every time she's on stage.

This is how I feel about most PVP games. I used to love playing smite and overwatch too, but then the player base ruined both of them.

So he didn't just down a bunch of toluene when he got COVID and die? I'm shocked he didn't trust his own "research" enough.

Daniella Young (Knitting Cult Lady) is a cult scholar talks extensively about this as well as other cults. I highly recommend her for more info on this and how terrible these groups are for anyone who is interested.

Does your job make you wear programmer socks and force feed you estrogen?

Was looking up a source to say it was actually a cannon all along, and found out that apparently the guy who originally said that just made it up???

Fun wikipedia page. I guess I'll have to scrub that bit of misinformation from my brain now.

Tl;dr No one really knows what the meaning was.

Currently yes, but the cost of beans is going to continue to increase as climate change worsens. We've already seen disruptions in harvests and price hikes due to this. We'll see how it shakes out in the long run for total cost increase.

Also, if we're comparing buying an energy drink on the go vs a cup of coffee on the go, energy drinks are already much cheaper. The convenience aspect shouldn't be ignored. Generally though, I agree, buying a coffee every day is for suckers.

Conspiracy theory brain goes: This meme trend has to be an attempt at manufacturing consent to reduce caffeine consumption due to rising coffee prices due to climate change. That way when coffee is phased out, it doesn't cause a huge outrage and is just seen as a thing only addicts use and it falls into the same "moral failing" BS as any other addiction because we all need to be "healthier".

I don't think that's it though because there are plenty of energy drink companies trying to pick up former coffee drinkers who are looking for lower cost alternatives.

I think it depends on how you pronounce it and context. I'm used to hearing a shorter bruh with a look attached to it as a question for "what are you doing?" vs a longer bruh like "bruuuuuuh" as empathizing like "that's rough".

I don't think you realize how much voter suppression is in the US. Those in power don't want us voting and are still trying to put up more barriers against it.

  • No automatic voter registration when you turn 18.
  • No instruction in public schools on how to vote or where to find information on voting, candidates, or how to run for office.
  • Requiring registration a month or more before the election.
  • Many states purge the voter roles regularly (especially for BIPOC sounding names), so you have to check that you're registered to vote a month or more in advance which is easy to forget. Then you have to reregister to vote if you were removed from the voter roles which is often only available by mail.
  • Voting by mail is often made purposefully difficult or isn't allowed except for senior citizens so you have to physically go to a polling location which is often understaffed because they're run by volunteers. Usually, it's taken me an hour to vote not including travel time.
  • No mandatory time off work to vote. If you're working 80+ hour weeks regularly because you have multiple jobs, you don't have time to vote unless one of your employers lets you. Hell, even if you're working 40 hours, several polling places aren't open outside of normal business hours.
  • ID requirements needing to match your voter registration exactly. Didn't include your middle name on your voter registration? Whoops, can't count your vote. This would get immensely worse with needing to show proof of citizenship if the Save Act passes the Senate. This act would disenfranchise most married women and trans people.
  • Polling locations that are far away or change depending on the time/day of the week for areas with early voting where you try to vote 2 weeks before the election.

I didn't realize how much voter suppression there was till I moved to a more progressive state where I was shocked I didn't have to jump through a ton of hoops to vote and could register online. This was recent too not years ago.

Huh, didn't think this was true on first glance, but it is if taken worldwide. In the US, bites are still high, but there are very few deaths from them.

Most of the deaths come from rabies in countries that don't have widely available rabies vaccines. This seems like a solvable problem like tuberculosis if greed didn't get in the way.

It took me a little over a year of playing, ~1100 East games, ~400 South games, and several failed yakuman waits, but I finally got one!

Link to the game below if anyone is curious. I Yakuman in East 2 and end the game, so it's short.
