She/her pronouns. With the help of a lot of cool people, I got the meds I needed to rejoin piefed/lemmy. It wasn’t great by any means going full pi-bolar on someone that didn’t deserve it, yet here I am.

  • No, I’m sorry but those kiosks are horrible ideas. All of those places have food that you are expected to eat with your hands. You think phone screens are gross? Try a public touch screen. I have yet to see anyone other than myself wash their hands (or even just use hand sanitizer ffs) after or before using one of those kiosks. They are likely responsible for who knows how many infections.

    All of that is ontop of making what should be a 20 second interaction into (at times) multiple minutes even for someone that knows how to operate/navigate them as they constantly try to needlessly upsell things while forcing you to move your hand across the entire height of the thing to make sure you spend the maximum amount of time being advertised to. They need to go away.















  • No, I very have much read Berserk several times. The “parry” here is not literal (I am well-aware that Gatsu eventually defeats Griffith with sheer brutality), but learning to stop capitalism from continuing to commit mass murder, (figuratively in this sense) rape those closest to you, and rule the world is paramount. Even if we have to chop off our own hand with a dull and broken blade in order to retrofit a crossbow as it continues to to do so. Defeat the demons that haunt you (and us as a whole) while accepting help from odd places (like Puck) and not being deterred by literally overwhelming odds. The thing that Gatsu cares about most in the end is saving the people he cares about (especially Casca, and in this metaphor she’s the one that capitalism attacked the hardest). Yes, for what is written he winds up on a boat and the new chapters are very slow to come out (yes, there are new chapters!) but in a sense that symbolizes an eternal struggle to find a cure.
