Wow, no.

When people forget to vote or are disenfranchised or are too distracted or were tricked into really inane rationales, this is what "the system" thinks about you:

"I don't think about you at all" meme

I played multiplayer Tetris frequently.

When you get lines, your opponent's stack pushes a line with a gap up from below, except when you get a Tetris, which pushes four lines (with the gap aligned, so you could Tetris back and forth).

You had an indicator for the max height of your opponent's stack next to yours.

Great game.

At the height of the pandemic, I was admitted to a hospital after a worse one had sent me home. I was delirious with pain, and was allowed no visitors. Once I got pain meds, I was confused from them. I couldn't eat or drink anything, including water. It took them a week to determine that I needed my gallbladder out (some shortage with their nuclear medicine unit), and by then I was apparently also septic. Due to a mixup with my pain meds, it took an extra day to get into surgery. I missed giving the elegy for my father in law, and the whole episode is just a fuzzy kaleidoscope of pain. This was one year after fighting for days to get a kidney stone removed surgically, only to wake up in recovery with another one that no one would believe me about for another week, then having a stent for a month.

I can fully understand jumping out a window in desperation.

It was also the time when she watched a man die to save her life.
