Spanish language question, 
So, I've a question about emphasis in Spanish. I was watching TV and an ad for Peacock came on (in Spanish) with the phrase "No puedes no ver". However, it was emphasized as "No puedes. No ver." To my English-native brain that seems weird. I'd emphasize it as "No puedes NO ver". But, is it actually weird, or is my English language bias kicking in here?

NSFW
I also wrote up a little NSFW sex-fighting addition called Headscissor, which adds some sexual mechanics into the game, in case that's something you're into.

Unlike Headlock, this hasn't received any playtesting, so if you try it out, let me know what changes you think need to be made!

BTW, I never mentioned it, but with my website, I also published v2 of Headlock! If you don't know what that is, it's a little dice and cards wrestling ttrpg I came up with. If that sounds like your kind of thing, why not check it out?

And, as always, if you think any balance tweaks need to be made or you have any ideas, let me know!
Re: Bullshit game design
(How is there even a government to collect taxes at this point?)
Bullshit game design
Look at this ridiculousness. Half the town's on fire, the other half is covered in nuclear fallout. What's the biggest issue on the survivors' minds? The fact that taxes are at 20%. Not from the perspective of "Hey, tax the rich more to fix this mess" or anything like that but generic "MuH TaXEs ArE tOO HiGh!!" What kind of bullshit right-wing ideology leads you to develop a system this ridiculously bad?

reduce your ableist language (contains examples of same)
There’s a *lot* of ableist language in common parlance. These words and similar ones exist as slurs towards neurodivergent folks in particular. Try pushing yourself to replace/eliminate them.
crazy, insane, mental ➡️ wild, surprising, hectic
dumb, stupid ➡️ foolish, silly
idiot, moron, dumbass ➡️ bigot, asshole, fool
In addition, you are encouraged to think through what you’re trying to say better, and address what the real issue worth criticising is. And if you can’t rephrase it, maybe it didn’t need to be said at all.

i get especially irritated at the shitposters who write deliberately misleading stuff there.
do not do that. it's not funny and you are setting a bad example to users who don't yet know the accessibility norms.

it's nice that more and more artists are writing image descriptions, but often they are very vague and aren't actually _alt_ text. like, they aren't viable alternatives to viewing the image.
eg.: "fanart of <character>" is not really telling anything. what style are they drawn in? what is the picture trying to communicate? how are they dressed? facial expression? etc.
iq/pol shitpost
An online IQ test just told me my IQ is 138, so I guess I'm a genius and have no choice but to become an """""an""cap""" who spends their time posting pro-fascist talking point online and ""trolling"" leftists with points that have been refuted a thousand times just to prove how smart I am.

tech thoughts
I think this is one thing I'm kinda always conflicted about, like I want to make things that make the world a better place and can be used to enrich people's lives but I always worry that unless I'm doing something completely meaningless then there's a chance that whatever I make gets used for evil
The standard foss line is "let users use software for any purpose" and I just don't believe that's a good approach to take
As for Qubes, as much as I love the concept, it's just not right for me right now. I could see myself using it on, say, a work laptop, but for my primary machine, it just doesn't do what I want a primary OS to do.
Seriously, I opened up Pale Moon and was literally still logged in to everything. I reinstalled steam and it opened up as if nothing happened. I knew dot files did a lot but damn. I expected to have to do a lot of setting stuff back up.
A good reminder I should probably go wipe that external hard drive all that stuff was backed up to
So, as a quick update, it turns out Qubes wasn't all I expected or wanted it to be. For instance, while I could *in theory* do gaming, in practice it'd be very difficult. The Windows VM idea? Yeah, hope you like gaming sans audio. And there's a lot of inconveniences associated (e.g. interVM file copy/clipboard). So, I've gone back to Arch. On the bright side, going back was actually easier than expected. Turns out copying all the dot files backs restored everything as it was.
On the bright side, once we finish getting that room clean and get my bed moved in there, I'll be able to sleep in a cold room again, so, you know, worth it.
I just spent the past couple of hours cleaning up a moldy AC unit. How have y'all's days been?
