me:*fills a water gun with printer ink* me:i dont even need a wii u to have fun

if you bought a 16ml cartridge of ink at $18, and a 2500ml nerf super soaker barrage at $15.99, it would cost about $2,828.49 to fill it with ink once

having 40 minutes to leave the house is terrible because 40 minutes is basically 30 minutes and 30 minutes is basically 20 minutes and 20 minutes is basically fifteen seconds. but 50 minutes? 50 minutes is an hour, and an hour? ooobh thats plany off time

god it would be awesome if the human brain could just ignore an upsetting thing instead of constantly wandering back to it for no fucking reason

Yes, come on in!

Oh Enough Chit-Chat And Lets Talk Creams.

my notifications are once again devolving into a spirited debate about the ethics of actions that could potentially make someone uncomfortable, and at risk of sounding like someone about to get a lot of irate anons I think we're frankly giving way too to much moral weight to hypothetical discomfort

the thing about discomfort is that it's an extremely nebulous category that can be triggered by virtually anything and that's far too broad a category to have any inherent moral quality to it. like. my mom was mad uncomfortable when I stopped shaving. that didn't mean I was doing violence against my mom it just meant she needed to get over herself. many such cases it must be said.

A cannon event for me is hearing a rich Upper East Side lady talk about how she had "a right to feel safe" when she was arguing for the removal of homeless people from her neighborhood.

the number of people who think that they have some kind of right to not have to see unhoused people while doing absolutely nothing to help get those people housed (and frequently voting against any kind of measure to do exactly that) is astonishing, yeah.

"grackle" really is a perfect name for a bird. knocked it out of the park w/ that one

all i need is a sweet treat. and six thousand dollars

What if we were two rare MAMMALS that have to DO IT while a DOM looked after us like a PARK RANGER because we’re about to be ENDANGERED

Obviously the worst depiction of orcs is the classic "they're all evil" version, but I'm still dissatisfied with the slightly-less-worse "orcs seem like warlike savages but! they have a culture of Honor™" version. I think the problem, other than the fact it's sort of a cliche for fictional "warlike" races, is that it's usually just an attempt to patch over the bad implications, without really exploring or questioning what ideas went into building the original archetype in the first place. Why were they designed the way they were? What are each of their classic traits meant to suggest, and what do those traits actually mean in real life? How might our misunderstanding of other cultures have impacted the worldbuilding there? What are/were those cultures really like? Which stereotypes are false, and what cultural traits might they have that feel unexpected? In what ways are they relatable? Who are they apart from violence? Who could they be?
