the post of tom joad

I was 2 r 3 months into my sanity break from Reddit when my friends (who knew i was a redditor) started sending me msgs like “lol what are you gonna do now?”

Viewed the API drama from afar, then read some article mentioning lemmy. Tried a few instances but a lot had limits on new accts. Beehaw told me to pound sand. sh.itjust.works was the one that had the fewest roadblocks to join. Now i got a few accts spread out over grad, bear, and here.

People seem to pine for reddit (or at least more content/users) but i like the small community. You can actually be heard here, and so too can you hear speech that isn’t the same fucking meme ad-nauseam

Replaying plants vs zombies

My buddy went hard when he first went vegan, pushing me to see videos of animal abuse so i would ‘understand’. That was annoying, but it was new to him so i didn’t make it an issue. His making the change was enough to start me on the road myself, though i don’t think he’d understood that (cuz i’d never tell him lol)

Lol too true mane, effin on point. Op’s gonna find out ‘bad’ vegans are generally ‘over carnist’s shit’ vegans in a minute

Imma need at least 6 new testicle types to explode! Listen to your playerbase! Every damn nazi has the same balls?! Get your heads in the game Rebellion.

🎤Granpa got his head slapped by JohnRocket…🎶 Into turkey gravy thanksgiving…🎶 You could say it’s cuz he wouldn’t shut up… 🎶But Johnny says it’s cuz he’s smokes the weed🎶

Your life is boring. Don’t make your bitterness with that fact our problem

Howzabout I upvote your addition? thanks!

Every year on Thanksgiving for the last 13 years i’ve tortured my family with this song (I love it). It will become a family tradition. That and watching “Thankskilling” between the football games.

For people scratching their heads:

Cecil George Edwards

was getting arrested in Sydney for CC fraud in the 90s, it was recorded, and he was hilariously belligerent about it.

Mister, you just assured me that I could speak. Look, I’m under what? Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest. Have a look at the headlock here, see that chap over there? he- GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS! This is the bloke who got me on the penis people. Why did you do this to me, for what reason, what is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chinese meal? Oh, that’s a nice headlock sir, oh, ah yes, I see that you know your judo well. Good one. And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis? How dare – get your hands off me! Ta-ta, and farewell.

He died this year btw.

Farewell to a true King.

OK KITTEN TIME IT’S KITTEN TIME

Looking at #1 at the bottom… maybe it’s not a joke but the start of a new story?

Thanks!

Yeah i got a bit weird with my description haha… After a long session of hyperfocusing (on a game you’ve been sucked in by for example), do you ever feel odd for a few minutes after disconnecting from that focus?

I’m American. shitting on and shooting in America is my right bah gaw and i ain’t take kindly to no mcarthy-eque nationalist shit.

Did you ever get the “brain feels weird, like the waves are a different shape” after a long deep dive in a game? Only games and books do it to me, books being a less janky, more smooth but definitely different sensation.

God please say yes it’s not only me right? what’s up with my worm-meat?

The loudest know the least, same as ever.

Ok

What’s your favorite type?

Oh i absolutely use(d) games to calm my anxiety, “straighten out” my chaotic thoughts and silence the intrusive ideation.
