Oh, you're absolutely right, sir! I knew I'd forgotten something! Can't have the operations chief sitting around daydreaming when there's work to be done, can we? Oh ho ho ho, I'll get right on it!

I've finally brought up to my dm how bizarre it is that we've been playing for 3-4 YEARS (w/regular sessions) & our characters have only experienced 2 months in game. She really doesn't want to do a time skip - not even a few months! I don't understand why. If anyone has any insight please tell me.

The first bizarre thing was when me and my friend's character wanted to spend a couple weeks hanging out after a big HUGE campaign and she was like "no, and in fact the time you spent together was a dream and no time has passed for any of the other players." What the FUCK

I'm not sure most of you understand the assignment. If the character getting a happy ending fundamentally changes the story being told, then you're doing it wrong.

Name a character who deserved better.

I can't stop thinking about how Billy sarcastically tells Nathan that they don't have a mattress or whatever, like, why are you being so snarky. You're so fucking weird. Maybe you DO sleep on a box spring.

Spoilers for ycse, but I found this interview with David Blaine from like 2016 where Blaine himself claims that he has a hole in his hand. So I find it really sus that fielder explains this as his own theory in the film.

As is often the case with giving a prompt on the Internet people often start doing word association and just name any movie they simply don't like, whether it fits the prompt or not. Anyway, the correct answer is Shrek.

This is -- again -- the *exact same game* we played with abortion, wherein we all had to vote for candidates who were just a teeeeeeensy bit anti-abortion because Republicans would overturn Roe v. Wade. They overturned Roe v. Wade AND gutted state-level abortion access. That's how that plan works.

look if shit is so dire for the democrats that they NEED every vote from trans people, maybe they shouldn't run candidates who are transphobic or fold on even the slightest pushback to trans rights it's not our fault y'all's guys suck

I’m going to buy the cafe in Edinburgh where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter, bulldoze it, and build a museum of trans rights there.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

"the gays gained rights by voting for the homophobic democrats." no the democrats gained the votes of gay people when they started offering policy concessions, however slow and incremental. this also goes in reverse. offer incremental concessions to the right on trans issues and lose our support

I worked at Cold Stone for exactly 2 weeks and got fired for overserving everyone. I would also sing really loud and operatically when they'd tip us but I don't think they actually cared about that

This film (1 in 2 parts imo but not my point) is such a weird dive into the film maker's weird biases and fetishes. All the women die violently at kiddo's hands. All the men die in a more passive way (snake, 2 step handjob). Don't get me started on the way the Western and the kung fu parts are split

Guys tell me if am off base here but it seems to me that a function of “trans men definitionally cannot experience misogyny because they’re men” arguments is to render invisible behavior against trans men that is misogynistic in character

The other day a pigeon got into the shop so I was telling the forewoman that pigeons are all feral descendants of domesticated carrier pigeons, and she said "oh Eric was just telling me that same thing." so. I'm not the 1st person to share bird facts with u today. I thought I was the weird coworker.

I told my bestie this and she said to talk to my doctor and probably drink less and I wanna do both those things. But being perimenopausal is still something I was never prepared for and feel insane about.
