you cannot tell me this isn't sick and fucking twisted to put this in here. his name is fucking dastardos. HE SINGS HIS OWN BOSS MUSIC
I've been playing viva pinata again and honestly? the lore is so wild and disturbing for a kid's game. here I am, walking into this devastated garden space to see a girl crying about its sad state, and I begin thinking I'm going to be turning dried out dirt and junk into a flourishing oasis. I discover a family of interesting characters to befriend and learn about residing around my garden, and nearby is a town of different shop owners to achieve this goal. I meet them along the way as I develop my garden and have different needs for my pinatas. oh! and as another challenge, there's ofc a bad guy who wants to have all the pinata candy in the world to himself to eat. he MAY have given pinatas a potion one of his minions died in to do this, because he turns them sour so they are evil and wild, changing their colors to red and black, and morphing their bodies too. being sour makes them untameable nuisances in your garden, and this makes them unable to go to parties, after all! but pinatas LOVE being destroyed at parties, so this is very sad and tragic for them. and guess what? they can be cured! so now you feel a moral obligation to save sour pinatas while taming new ones. you also have to farm some of them to get other types, and you can breed them with dancing and mazes. throwing ass now requires plan b! still, in doing so, you expand your capabilities as a Gardener.โข all the while, you grow plants, dig and fill ponds, protect your garden from ruffians, and do cutesy little decorating, too! you can even have employees to help you! it'll be so fun and engaging! . . but the massive dead tree at the end of the garden, the one out of bounds? . . . we don't like to talk about it. and we certainly don't like talking about how the cries of a sick pinata summon another family member. . . the one whose disfigured mask and odd singing don't compare to what he does with that stick he carries, floating closer and closer to your garden . . . . and when your hitting him with your shovel first doesn't work. . . . when you see what he does to the pinatas, now the doctor in the village has a new meaning for you. . . . but why don't you focus on our cute pinata designs/animations, or the food/candy puns we've made w the species names instead, hm? you can also dress the pinatas up too! how adorable! :))

OKAY so my game plan... I really want to invest in myself this year. while things aren't the best health wise and work didn't work out, I want to build myself in some way this year while I figure everything out. maybe I pursue writing finally, or I do more art, or I configure something for myself. not saying I'll be looking at y'all to float me or pay for me to do anything, but maybe I'll start new habits or things to do w myself. I've been thinking about looking into programs or just getting certain hobbies/interests that push me in a direction instead of just stagnating. I want growth and development, just something to show for my time and efforts. still figuring out what but I only have 2 days left at my job before I pop out and I've been thinking of what is coming next for me. will have to see!
hilarious drama going on on reddit, the least respectable social media site i use. someone goes to r/legaladvice with a question about a shitty interaction with a cop. pretty normal post.
some users replied with regular advice, but one r/legaladvice moderator came in saying it was OP's fault, defending the cop. when OP requested they "please read the post", they equipped their next reply with their little mod hat and told them that showing attitude would result in a ban.
after receiving hundreds of downvotes (and many replies, all of which were removed and banned), the r/legaladvice mod nuked the thread in a fit of anger.
so you'd think it'd stop there, right? well, that's where you're wrong.
there's another subreddit called r/bestoflegaladvice, where the more interesting r/legaladvice threads are reposted for audiences to take the piss out of. and of course, a mod throwing a tantrum and nuking a thread because they were asked to read would make that cut. so it was reposted! and of course, everyone started rightfully calling the mod a bootlicker.
people then started pointing out that the r/legaladvice mod team has cops on it, at which point, part two of the drama starts: some people are mods of both r/legaladvice AND r/bestoflegaladvice, and they get really mad when you call them cops (derogatory).
so of course, they take the best course of action, which is to angrily reply to comments calling them cops and then use mod powers to delete the comments they don't like, insisting that only ONE r/legaladvice mod is a cop, so it's totally fine!
the r/bestoflegaladvice thread was then deleted and locked by mods, presumably for "republicizing deleted comments".
the same thread was then reposted to r/bestoflegaladvice. again, the thread fills with people calling the r/legaladvice mods cops.
this thread was also deleted and locked by r/bestoflegaladvice mods.
but it doesn't end there! because there's ANOTHER subreddit called r/subredditdrama, where the juiciest drama from all manner of subreddits gets reposted. and you'll never believe what's gone on long enough to count as drama.
here, free from the shackles of reddit's legaladvice world, users were free to dunk on the mods as much as they want.
the r/subredditdrama thread was eventually deleted as well (but not locked) just because they don't accept links to nuked threads since the original can't be read, but thankfully, everything had been archived by that point.
and just because the streisand effect should never go unrealized, i'm reposting it here, to tumblr. who knows, maybe someone will bother to screencap this and put it on r/curatedtumblr, and it will eventually live on in reddit again.
as for OP, they reposted their situation to r/nostupidquestions and later posted this update:
moral of the story: never go to reddit for legal advice, because the legal advice subreddit is run by ONE cop.
