I think a politician could do do pretty well on a "you win capitalism" certificate platform, if it wasn't for billionaires and near-billionaires having the money to easily stop them.

The fun part about being in Australia is that I'm simultaneously immune and also ultra-vulnerable to April Fool's pranks, because it's all American people and companies doing them so they all happen on the 2nd.

Wait, it's bed time. Backness subject to local availability!

Temperature's nice and tolerable, I think my stomach pain is receding, my focus is improving... I am so back.

Now it's below 29! Yes, keep going in that direction, temperature.

Oh wow, it just went below 30 degrees in my room. That's a first for the past few days.

Who am I without my overpowered day one Congruence card that makes all the early skill checks trivial...?

I've played the game an unreasonable amount of times and know a lot about it, but I feel like I might get less done if I had to actually deal with the famine and plague, without time loop nonsense to negate them.

Going to try to replay I Was A Teenage Exocolonist as a completely fresh playthrough. But I didn't want to delete what I had, so I went to the save file folder and put Groundhogs.json and Groundhogs.bak into the Groundhog Hole (a subfolder).

The rain didn't even reach either of the weather stations...

Maybe it'll cool things down enough to properly sleep tonight! But I doubt it.

Oh, it's raining. Okay then...?

I wonder if Acre and her family mind that I have my entire pickling operation spread out in a line in front of their house. I'm not 100% on what that would smell like, but I don't think it's a pleasant thing to smell constantly at all hours.

Still playing Roots of Pacha. Just not all day now that I have enough energy to think. I'm mostly using alma (apple) vinegar to pickle things and I still have 55 apple vinegars to spare.

I think I planted too many apple trees.

I don't see why anyone would continue to do a repetitive computer-based task if they could just write a program to automate it. (I do actually see; I'm aware not everyone enjoys programming as much as I do) Just spend a few days on a script and you get infinite task forever!

I... think I meant unstressed vowels at the end of a word are deleted? That would make more sense, but I have words where that didn't happen.

I think writing a program to do the sound changes instead of doing them all by hand was a very good idea.

Vowels in unstressed syllables become centered, but also vowels in unstressed syllables are deleted? And I wrote the notation in a different way both times.

I slept for most of the day yesterday, and hopefully that's taken care of most of the effects of the heatwave. But I'm trying to read the conlanging notes I wrote a few days ago, and I have no idea what I was talking about.

He might be a terrorist, but he's still an excellent fake marriage counsellor (The guy in the image I just reposted I mean)

this man is responsible for the single funniest 15 seconds in youtube history but to have the joke work you need to watch about 5 hours of flash games being played first

Phil (the mammoth) won me a lot of races, though. Sorry, Phil, you're relegated to being sent out to hopefully scrounge me up an entire pumpkin or something.

Finished the caves, though. And I guess the speed stat of animals really is how fast it is as a mount? And pets only have speed 1. Then my speed 2 ibex really was faster than the speed 1 ibex, then. I should stop riding my baby mammoth and see if I have any speed 3 mounts.

I started a new game a few days ago because I hadn't played since before the March update, but I think that was mostly postgame stuff? I'm nearly at the end of autumn 1, but I've still got some prophecies to go.

Dealing with the heatwave by doing nothing but play Roots of Pacha until it goes away is going pretty well so far.

39 degrees forecast for Thursday? It's not even an el niño year.

I'm just glad I managed to finish writing Chadleyfic while I was on them. And I was able to spend hours at a time doing last minute edits before posting a new chapter, which is extremely promising for other, non-least-popular-new-FF7-character applications.

I ran out of my mast cell stabilisers a few days ago and I think they're starting to wear off. Hopefully the pharmacy will get around to compounding some more soon. I put the prescription in ten days ago, but I guess I didn't account for Christmas.

Oh hey, it's the future again.

Saw a 67 T-shirt for sale while I was out just now. Does that make 67 over, or just beginning?

I saw a power box graffitied with ACAB in the colours of the trans flag yesterday and I'm so used to seeing similar things online it didn't even register at first. Don't normally see stuff like that in the wild!

Didn't think to get a picture, either.
