Jumbled Thoughts

Turns out you can roll a 7 on a d6

Thou comest in such a questionable shape

that I will speak to thee. I'll call thee Post-It Ghost,

Basically, Mr grifter announced that he might be getting into the collecting side of yugioh, which would lead to the scalping hell that now plagues the Pokémon and One Piece TCGs

As a joke, MBTYugioh gave them pointers on what to “invest in”, recommending some of the WORST shit products that this game released in the years

He then followed up with a tongue-in-cheek, clearly trolling video recommending shit like Legendary Duelists sets, Duelist of Deep and Synchro Storm, and the Platinum cards, and exclusive COINS before ending the video with “Don’t invest in yugioh. You will lose money due to this game’s reprint policies”

Like, it was very obvious for anyone with half-a-brain cell and is familiar with Yugioh that the video is a joke

BUT a bunch of scalping bots took the video at face value and bought out these doodoo, worthless products immediately after his fuckass video came out

I mean, I already knew about it, but I just learned about it

Did you know that the target audience for Farming Simulator is actual real-world farmers? Because I didn’t. I just assumed that farmers probably don’t want to go home from a day of farming to do some (presumably highly inaccurate) virtual farming?

Like, imagine if the target audience for Power Washing Simulator was actual professional power washers.

Farming Sim gets sponsored by companies and shit to put ads in their games. But since the game is for farmers, all of the ads target farmers. Advertising products that, realistically, only farmers would be interested in. Aka John Deere tractors and shit.

This is the world capitalists want to return to.

Over time they would start to declare their enjoyment of illusory pasta that they were pretending to be gobbling and the next logical step was to actually try to get them to guess specific pastas.

Quick rapid fire burst of air were greeted with “Gnocchi!”

We’ve gotten more creative, but are both really good at this very stupid game we made up. We’ve gone through spaghetti, fettuccine, rigatoni, elbows, angel hair, and fusilli. We’ve even guessed penne which is quite a trick.

Tonight we were giggling and rough housing on the couch and to stave them off I started blowing on their face. After a second I picked my pasta and widened my mouth to make it more obvious.

“Is this— really wide fettuccine?” my wife asked.

I laughed and tried again, widening my mouth as much as I could while my beloved squinted and looked baffled.

“Wider!” I prompted.

“L-lasagna??”

“Yeah,” I laughed hysterically.

“That wasn’t lasagna! You need to go wider!”

“But look, you just went thicker, it’s not thick, it’s flat! It’s harder than it looks!”

QUEER IS NOT A SLUR

We reclaimed it way back in the 1980's. It is the accepted term used in academia, in colleges and universities ALL OVER THE PLACE.

They'd go through the tags and search, and just attack anyone who used the word queer -- reblogs, asks, they'd keep repeating what they wanted to sell until people forgot it wasn't the truth. One minute it was "oh we're not saying you can't use it for yourself but you're evil to use it for anyone else" and the next minute it was "how dare you use it for yourself".

That was a coordinated campaign for trans exclusion, a first big step in the extreme transphobia we're dealing with now; it caught bi/pan and aro/ace queers in the crossfire, and that sure wasn't a drawback for its proponents either. They wanted (and still want) only cis, allo, gold star gays and lesbians to be the acceptable not-straights.
