Hey man. Not my mountain not my eagle not my liver. Not my problem

one thing you need to know about 2014. is that what does the fox say was playing pretty much everywhere you went. and everybody was just relieved it wasn't blurred lines

I canot stress enough that those were the only 2 songs in 2014

youtube commenters will say things like "just because a character changed gender doesn't make them trans"

This post is further evidence for my theory that jan Misali has light time travel capabilities

I was actually able to achieve this using a special technique known as "planning"

Amusingly, the first big boom in mainstream popularity for the YouTube video essay format happened circa 2018, so this post actually very slightly pre-dates the Video Essay Era.

They've invented the new greatest thing in the world and it's called "the smart friend's character study fic" it'll change your life for the better

Smart friends love to make fics that incite emotions such as "compelled to cling onto any surface and molt like a cicada that will then be unceremoniously grounded for its short life due to a deformation in the wing" as well as "the smell of the bouncy castle six-year-old you played on at some local small town event along your new best friend that you will only see today and never again"

I'd like reading plays more if they didn't keep trying to get me to age regress

"Act 2" I couldn't read back then idiot!

The way some people react to the Monty Hall problem is a good illustration that correctly identifying that you're being tricked and correctly identifying how you're being tricked are two separate skills. Some folks immediately intuit that there's a statistical sleight of hand in play, but because they have no insight into how it works, they interpret any attempt to explain what's really going on as further trickery. It's like showing someone that the rabbit was inside a secret compartment in the hat the entire time and having them respond "haha, you won't fool me that easily!"

(And, of course, while hypotheticals like the Monty Hall problem are a relatively harmless way for this to happen, they underline a very important fact: going in against a scammer without fully understanding how the scam works can easily have you doing exactly what they want you to do while totally convinced that you're beating them at their own game.)

i cant believe that there's still gamergate STANK on games that women enjoy. NASTY misogyny residue. stardew valley is in fact a video game. animal crossing is also a video game. so are otome games and dating sims and twee little cozy games. sometimes a bitch doesnt wanna play bloodborne that shit's hard

guys who mainly play 2k and fortnite will still be like oh youre not a real gamer for having 1000 hours in stardew. mother fucker you're larping as a basketball player
