i would never wish celiac on anyone but sometimes i wish i could give people the experience temporarily so they stop judging me for being so cautious around food. someone once gave me a hard time for only ever ordering the same thing at one of the few local restaurants i can eat at, and it's like.... well, i have confirmed that this one thing will not poison me. i have not yet confirmed that anything else on the menu will not poison me. i don't feel like violently throwing up today if i take a risk that pans out badly.

i just want a transfem story where she's transfem the whole time and not just at the end

look i hate adverts too and they are evil and should be destroyed. but at a certain point when i see people complaining about youtube videos i have to be like “well that is your fault” because if you have a good adblocker youtube cannot hurt you categorically

there's some US states where they won't let you put ø or ñ on your baby's birth certificate, along with ' and -, and it's stupid. we all have unicode now. we all know that people use different languages which use different characters. the name Lucia Íñiguez-Garcia will not be too hard to type or break your computer

tom nook is NOT a landlord!!! he is a construction worker! he SELLS you a WHOLE HOUSE! He is not CHARGING YOU however many bells a month to live there! You PURCHASE a HOME that he BUILDS FOR YOU and then you PAY HIM FOR HIS SERVICE. He charges no interest he sets no time limit it is a relationship built on trust. the only penalty you get for not paying off your home is that he won't build more home until you pay him for the first one. A guy that builds you a house wherever you want him to and then charges you for the cost of construction is not a landlord you own the fucking home

He is, however, in the mafia

celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

You are so right actually

the pope in my country gave a speech equating abortion, euthanasia and abuse of migrants as the debate in parliament goes on to enshrine abortion in the constitution. and I have to watch anglophones on social media keep talking about that fucking encyclical because they can't look beyond their own bellybutton and pet issue

Smh don't call your game a Disco Elysium clone unless it includes copious amount of communist brainrot. I don't care if it's a "fail forward" narrative system. I don't give a shit if it has dice-based skill checks. Give me a narrative steeped in Marxist-informed storytelling or fuck off

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".
