Ooh And That's A Bad Miss

Everything used to be 20 dollars and now that I finally have 20 dollars everything is now 200 dollars

I just love love love that there’s a guy wandering about Dungeon Meshi going, ‘but what are the socioeconomic and geopolitical consequences of this fantasy quest adventure, both while it’s ongoing and after its inevitable completion?! The skillset required to find and kill a Mad Mage is different than that required to responsibly, benevolently and effectively rule a kingdom. I personally must either find a good candidate, somehow make one, or, most likely, take on the whole Mageslayer/King role myself.” Except he doesn’t have the first skillset, and his whole party keeps dying while these highly competent chucklefucks wander past, kill and eat the monster, and save their bodies for the nth time. Kabru would demand to know if Aragorn is familiar with Gondorin tax law. His isekai energy is off the charts, because this is all exactly what I would do if dropped into a fantasy quest adventure, right down to repeatedly dying due to not actually being suited to the genre conventions.

IMPORTANT REMINDER that Aragorn IS familiar with Gondorin tax law albeit likely out of date thanks to his time as thorongil serving in the court of ecthelion (denethor’s father) this isn’t relevant to the post at all; I just want to be clear on the topic otherwise now laios…has probably paid taxes if that’s a thing dungeon adventurers do. he’s a law-abiding kinda guy he’s never met a geopolitical concept in his life though

isn't it fucked up that milfic means military fiction and not "possessing the traits of a milf"

New head canon is that Scott Hunter once fucked one of the Man in the Crease podcasters and never called him again, which is why they’re such dicks about him

If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.

so in my mind the down with cis bus thing was like 5-6 years ago max (which is ridiculous, bc that was. you know, the pandemic) but, it was april 2015. it was over ten years ago. over a decade? surely you cant be serious. i could turn into dust and blow away with the wind at any moment

tech companies appear to be labouring under the delusion that users who click on the wrong program by accident because the button's placement has changed will naturally find themselves using and enjoying whatever feature they moved into the previous location of that program's button

i suspect the number of people in the world who go "ah, what the hell. i've accidentally opened the window for this new feature. i suppose i might as well stop what i'm doing to try this out rather than just figure out where they've hidden the old button and go do the thing i was already doing" is roughly n=2 and that those 2 people are the CEOs of microsoft and google respectively

Imagine hating me when all I’ve ever done is be a hateful mean cruel spiteful fucking cunt to you

columns of kelp underwater are so gorgeous. absolutely one of my favorite things in the natural world

apropos of nothing thinking about the psychology today article i read yesterday talking about how upwards of 50% of people with suicidal ideation don't disclose it to mental health professionals, acknowledging the role that fear of institutionalization plays in that, and then ends with "and that's why we need better screening tools to identify ppl with suicidal ideation even when they're lying to us"
