    a short thread i did on that other site highlighting some possibly forgotten details and features in x & y since it's been 10 years and not everyone went through like every nook and cranny of these games like i did back then

  • I say this as someone who works at a nonprofit: the attitude “someone who has nothing will be grateful for anything” is harmful and dehumanizing when it’s used to justify donating something ripped, stained, or expired to someone less fortunate.

    Homeless people deserve clothing with good structural integrity. Victims of house fires deserve linens that are free of stains. No one should have to eat expired food. It’s disrespectful to give people scraps when they’re already hurting.

    Please, out of respect for your fellow humans, check the dates on your food donations before you drop them off.

  • Any half-decent charity will weed through donations and toss the stuff that's unusable, which means you've made more work for them and benefited absolutely no one, because you think poor people should be content with your castoffs.

    If at all possible, donate money. Money never expires and always fits. And charities often have ways to buy wholesale or otherwise much cheaper than you can, so a dollar goes a lot further for them than it will for you.

    Also no one thinks about this but employees and rent and light bills gotta get paid somehow.

  • capitalism is a failure of a system and need to be completely abolished

    >store says they're hiring

    >50 people apply

    >30 don't hear back from them

    >19 get told they "don't meet the qualifications"

    >one single person gets hired

    >store gives them way to much work for one person

    >new employee says that they need to hire more people

    >"what are you talking about? we have enough people working in your department"

    >but no you actually don't. you have one single person working at a time. I only work mornings, every single morning. other guy only works afternoons, every single afternoon. what happens when one of us is sick?

    >also, what if I'm busy with something else like stocking, and a customer needs my help? what then? you're asking me to work five people's jobs at once. so either pay me five times my salary or hire four other people

    >"no. you're fired"

    mfw

    >go to that store later to buy something

    >no one is working at the department I worked at

    >end up waiting 40 minutes to buy something

    >don't blame the cashier. he was pulled away to do something else. it's the bosses fault for not hiring more people

    >as I leave there are "we're hiring" signs plastered all over the door

    what a fucking load of massive bull shit

  • hey guys so apparently this is a thing a lot of people don't realise but like. if you have had writer's block/ art block for like. six months. a year. two years. that's maybe not a block. that's maybe depression. and you should maybe look into treating the source of the problem instead of just beating yourself up for not being able to write/draw. be kind to yourself and know that your struggle to create isn't based in laziness or a lack of skill or talent.

  • You also do have like, a finite amount of energy. Especially creative and emotional energy.

    The celebrate-the-grind stories where some famous artist held down two grueling part-time jobs to make ends meet and got by on four hours of sleep a night so they'd have time to write their novel or paint or whatever, so what's your excuse are absolute bullshit. We should look at those about the same as we look at long-haul truckers doing a lot of amphetamines to handle driving for 16 hours a day or AAA game studios and crunch time.

    So yeah, if your ability to make art has dried up, you really should take a good look at the underlying reasons and see if there's maybe some self-care you need to be doing. The answer is pretty much never "laziness."
