Just some pathetic cis white boy from Canada's worst province who never amounted to much of anything. Work in a grocery store that is mostly okay, but don't make enough to live off so I'm resigned to just trying to not cry too much every day. I have a partner I dearly love.

  • My experience sitting on a joint health and safety committee, is that most workplace accidents happen because too much work is given to too few workers, causing them to try to work faster which causes errors and mistakes.

    Also the retail space has horrendously ergonomics which see, backs, arms, shoulders and feet frequently being hurt due to RSI (repetitive strain injuries). I can request company research to attempt to mitigate poor ergonomic practices, but they aren't going to mandate all shipping boxes come with handles, or in liftable weights. And they certainly will not provide extra employees to help unload and sort through large merchandising shipments.

    We're at the point where I don't think even if they replaced us with robots that it would work, because if they treat robots like this they'll all be broken in 6 months due to poor treatment and bad maintenance practices and then be spending a fortune to replace them. Much cheaper to just have human workers break and then discard them.

    The only theft related injuries I see are idiot loss prevention jackasses taking their jobs way too seriously and getting beaten up by desperate thieves pushing a shopping cart into them or slugging them once so they can get away.





  • Yeah it's not like the current drunk of war didn't repeatedly say he was removing all constraints on the military so they could take Iran out nice and quick. How'd that go for them? They seem to only be able to kill civilians or diplomats meeting to discuss ceasefires.

    Americans love the line "they're about to figure out why america doesn't thave healthcare". But then they just learn their military is equally as badly funded and operates, and the only one benefitting is military weapons producers.

    The nerve of some of the posts to claim that the tankies should just go to Reddit to convert people. Like Lemmy was birthed mostly by Reddit banning subreddits that were willing to speak against the grain of western propaganda.

    The libs should go back to Reddit themselves if they want to avoid having propaganda disputes questioned anytime they assume they know what an "obvious fact" is. The sheer ghoul brained nature of the op just just nakedly believe that the international group producing "facts" isn't compromised and also contributing to western propaganda.

    Very impressive, I'm still working on getting all the classes to a10, only beat a10 with the silent and that took me super long to manage probably over twenty attempts, although near the end I was getting to the act 3 bosses fairly reliably.

    Mostly just been playing the goofy dailies for fun though


  • ryepunk [he/him]toGamesThe Mass Effect 3 endings still suck

    Only ever saw the original endings. Couldn't care enough to replay after that. Anything other than destroy didnt make alot of sense to me. Control just makes you the big bad for a later game. And synthesis feels like they wanted everyone to have a feel good option that doesn't actually make any sense.

    Also, I hate games where the ending is simply a choice at the end. The ending should be given to you based on the choices you have already made!

    Everspace 2 mostly, it's hard to believe there was a time when space shooter was a full genre in PC gaming, and it just melted away.

    Anyway the game is fun, you fly around and shoot things, there's a story that seems mostly harmless. Not good, but it's mostly out of the way so you can explore the sectors and slowly level up while working toward buying a new ship. It's like a Diablo mixed with a freespace. There's not a huge variety of gear, probably like twelve guns, and 10 missiles. There is some fun gadget abilities to find that give you some neat abilities, like healing or pulling enemies together. Each ship has a unique super move too which is fun.

    Mostly just killing time. I finished disco Elysium a few weeks back and that was amazing. I'm trying to build up the energy to commit to another rpg but it's hard to focus that much.


  • Wow the thing that everyone who had some knowledge of the behind the scenes dealing was going to happen happened? Well let's be glad they werent admitted in index funds super prematurely, you know the investments that pension plans and such often heavily invest in. Oh wait they somehow altered the rules so it would be a bigger payday for Elon Musk?

    Wow the system is real and not fake and totally not rigged to help the already wealthy acquire more wealth while constantly not pulling the rug out from under everyone else.

    Yeah but these smooth brained ghouls are fucking weird.

    Where do you want to live? In a cozy long house where a community takes care of each other?

    Or in an arena where it's dog eat dog and you have to fight each and every day to stay alive?

    And they'll proudly say that the arena life would make them feel more alive or some bullshit that would find them dead within the end of the week of arena life.

    I just hit 40 and while it's not normal or typical, I've had the worst year of my life. More and more chronic pain. I work a physical job so its not because of sedentary lifestyle either. My stomach has basically collapsed (constant daily pain that my doctor doesnt know how to treat and referrals to gastro specialists refuse to see me) my food options are extremely limited and thinking about eating depresses me horribly; my feet and legs are sore after a single shift when I could go a day or two before they ached. My shoulders ache every morning, my back is sore constantly. I spend about an hour every day stretching to make things manageable and keep the pain at bay, but sometimes something gives and I'm in horrible pain for about a month while it slowly heals (this is often complicated because I have to keep working while in recovery which likely slows it down or outright prevents proper healing).

    I don't know how I'm expected to keep this up for another 30 years. I have a family history of many cancers as well, so I'm sure I'll catch one of those shortly, my eyesight has never been good. And if I'm lucky I might get rheumatoid arthritis from my mom which would basically make work impossible. My mantra these days is to simply try and take it one day at time. Because thinking about the future makes me feel bad.
