tielan: Gods prefer simple, vicious games where you Do Not Achieve Transcendence (mood - droll)

I hate automated learning. I just spent 40 minutes on one of those "welcome to our company, let us put you through the spiel of 'don't be a dick when working for us' which you can quite ignore once you have enough whiteness, dickness, money, or power to do so, but you're just a peon and you could reflect badly on us, so sit down, shut up, and let us school you on the rules" training/learning things, and the damn system ATE MY RECORD THAT I'D DONE IT AND I NEED TO DO IT AGAIN.

After working the state election on Saturday, the conservatives got back into power. UGH. I don't like the conservative state leader, although I respect her acumen in keeping her head above water, but all her/her party's ideas are bad and purely capitalist/economically rationalist and they should be ashamed of them. Sure, they work for me, and I have enough money and agency that I can generally ignore the effects of them on me (or throw resources I have to deal with them), but they don't work for a SHITLOAD of other people.

nitty gritty of the day )

Hockey game yesterday - Hornsby v Hornsby, largely the core of Team 1 + core of Team 2 with Team 3 scattered all through both. I was put on the field with the Team 2 lot, although they're still making decisions.

However, I'm starting to think I'd be very frustrated in Team 3 this year - unless they end up putting me in a position out of my comfort zone, and even then I'd still be frustrated. I did get paired with a lot of Team 2 players (as my inners/wing) yesterday, so that's relatively promising...

Ah well. I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks. Our first game is the 7th April...

I still think Asgard is a stand in for the USA and more generally white colonisation. Where do you think all this wealth came from? Maybe some of it was fairly obtained, but most of it was gained by stealing land through genocide.

Captain Marvel's simplest twist to Carol Danvers' origin story is its smartest choice. (Fair warning: it's a Gizmodo article, so don't know how it will turn out for others, but Gizmodo sites tend to hate me...)

Also, reading through a brief history of Agents of SHIELD and it appears that they've gone down a completely different trouser leg of time. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

It makes my head hurt just reading all this.
