every day that I can't change bodies like I change outfits is bullshit it's fucking bullshit
doesn't even have to be human-shaped bodies
I could absolutely dig a Jameson box, or zipping around in a little grappler drone
or fuck I'd even spend some time in a stationary body
maybe a printer that tells you exactly what the problem is and why
"Yeah it's black and white that you're trying to print, but the turbo geniuses who designed this ink dispenser made it so that if it runs dry of any colour, it'll take damage. I can go ahead and do it, buuut you won't be printing cyan in future. Up to you."
Although this suggests that the body wouldn't be my own, 'cause no way would I pick such a lame design.

Eurovision likes to make sure we know they're non-political.
In fact, their international competition broadcast around the world is SO non-political, they even let Russia compete, despite Russia's ongoing war and human rights atrocities.
checks earpiece Sorry, I'm just getting this in now, there's a rumour that Russia is, in fact, not competing in Eurovision. Reasons unknown at this time.
A group of people: Hey we've talked about it and done research and consulted with qualified people, and we wanna build a load of co-housing in this area, in a way that'll fit in with the landscape and maintain the heritage-listed buildings here.
Their local council for some reason: no
[1] 'Cause we've let too many[2] people buy a ton of housing and keep it empty to drive up the prices.
I've also seen a news article saying that a golf course may be "called in" to help fix the housing crisis.
Like, fuck golf, but maybe we should require the perfectly good housing being kept empty to boost some shithead's investment portfolio to be used?
I'm at least 9% certain that using existing housing is going to be cheaper, and available faster, than building a new housing development designed by some shitwit who thinks a single access point for hundreds of people is a good idea.
Look I'll even offer a compromise: 10% cumulative tax increase per month on empty housing until it's got someone living in it properly, with decent tenant rights and maintenance.
This is coming down from my starting position of we take the housing and beat you to death for being a parasitoid on society.
