Hanlon’s Razor and all that, but I just assume that’s to drive up interaction in the post.

Rant/ramble ahead, you can skip:

By misspelling something, or just doing/saying something that common sense should say is wrong (“life hack, I just discovered this thing that literally every 5 year old already knows about”) you will draw out all the people who are genuinely trying to help, people who just can’t help themselves but smugly correct someone, people who THINK they know the right way but aren’t sure, people who claim to have never seen the right way before, and all the removed fights such comments produce.

The increased interactions make the post do better in algorithms, which means it goes out to more and more people, who continue the cycle.

My wife watches short form endless scrolling videos despite knowing how bad those are for your mental health, and some of the people she stops to watch are CONSTANTLY pulling the “common sense says otherwise” one. Like my dude you did NOT just figure out in your 20s that you can wait for the shower to warm up before you get in. Literal toddlers know better. It’s such a simple thing, I genuinely do not believe anyone in their 20s just gets in the shower while the water is still cold because they never figured out they can wait for the warm water. But hoooo boy did their video take off and have millions of views, and thousands of comments about how wild that is.

NCD is leaking again…

Not that I mind.

Lol ain’t that the truth.

But I also don’t do any of that for a job, so I doubt my boss will agree!

What if I can operate several different types of forklifts, reach trucks, skid steers, and an excavator, but I’m not “certified”?

What, you don’t want to see Kermit fisting himself at [TIME GOES HERE] in the [GENERAL PERIOD OF DAY]?

Then you get to NewGame++, try to skill your way through, then they pull out surprise moves, are a lot faster, and mock your pitiful attempts to damage them.

And this isn’t even their final form.

EVOLUTION IS A CIRCLE

🦀RETURN TO CRAB🦀

The moment I get an ad is the moment I stop watching it. I survived for many years without cable or internet, I’ll do just fine without youtube

I went to a celtic festival earlier today and there was a (male presenting) person in a dress you would expect to see on a docudrama about Jack the Ripper.

Inside this lady of the evening dress was the hariest person I have ever seen in a dress. Take that dark dense patch in the center of rikers chest, put that all over the exposed breast area, the upper back, arms, huge beard, very dense hairy legs. And all of it fiery orange.

That might be approaching “too much” territory, but I gotta say, what we have seen on star trek so far has been alopecia by comparison.

My favorite part is all the inside jokes they pack in as well. You don’t really get all of them as a viewer, but I’ve watched every episode with commentary, and a lot of interviews with a lot of the directors, producers, prop/costume/sfx people.

Nothing beats the “special effects coordinator” guy screaming BIGGER at everyone after they show him progressively larger explosive effects.

I love that every Sci fi show eventually does the “out of phase” episode, and I love seeing the fun twists and flavorings they use to make it “their” version.

Like Stargate sg1 and their crystal skull radiation and advanced dimension-shifting technology episodes.

And my personal favorite lampshading for this is actually from Stargate. in the in-universe parody show “Wormhole X-treme” one of the main character parodies asks “if I’m out of phase, why don’t I fall through the floor?” and the response from the writer/director/producer/whatever he was, was something along the lines of “I’ll have to get back to you on that”

To give the illusion that fate was on their side.

I make a point not to kill my players unless they make a habit of doing dumb shit, or it’s “almost” happened a couple times already.

Especially if I get several good rolls or they get several bad rolls in a row.

The game should be fun for everyone, and if even one player goes home upset with the session I will have considered my night a failure as DM.

Not that I consider it a failing or even “bad” if someone else kills off their players. Everyone has different expectations from games and I’ve seen fantastic role playing of deaths before.

One player ripped their heart out of their own chest, chugging a health potion to stay alive long enough to place it in their spouse who had just died died, and another player healed the spouse.

They asked me if I would allow that and honestly it sounded cool enough that I was all for it.

One of my friends from a local theater group I did some musicals with had a brick pin they wear to every pride event they attend.

It’s my favorite pin ever.

On the other hand, who gives a shit if Russia burns for their ongoing aggression.

Not many people complain when an entire country reaches the “find out” part of “fuck around and find out” when they’ve had many years to course correct.

It’s an old joke.

One reddit user suggests LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET

“person who should be held to higher standard given special treatment instead”

Again.

You ever have one of those moments when you just put 2 and 2 together, and also that you should have had that realization many years ago?

I just realized what NaN stands for…

This must be what people who get told “you can just wait for the shower water to warm up before hopping in” feel like.

Well, Dr. @qjkxbmwvz, I will gladly address you as doctor here to both acknowledge your hard work, and the fact that you aren’t an arrogant prick about things.

Cheers!
