I literally hide my eyes and gag laugh pretty much every time these guys are on screen. My husband thinks its hysterical because I find them to be hilarious but they make my stomach wretch.

We eeww km r both vghe,

Right? Like I feel like I’ve read how he’s “broken ranks” like 93 times already.

I think the list of times he’s voted with the Democrats would be shorter/more notable.

Dawwww! He looks like an adorable angry soot sprite from Spirited Away! <3

Another FF8 enjoyer here! My husband and I got married on Halloween, so for the reception, I was Rinoa and he was Squall!

10/10 fantastic game!

Love me some unexpected Starbomb! Great song! Gets stuck in my head constantly

Oh, of course. That’s a given. But the original comment implied that the feds are only fucking with blue states and immigrants are fine in places like Georgia.

I was assuring that commenter that immigrants in Texas are indeed not okay. And where are they supposed to go? Run into the red counties surrounding the cities?

Fuck. This state has the opportunity to be someone’s first glimpse of America, and it chooses to portray a shitty, hateful, dangerous view of it. Makes me fucking sick. I feel so goddamned stuck. Fortunately though, the cities have been protesting as well. There was an anti-ICE protest in SATX this past weekend, and theres another one scheduled for Saturday.

Oh no, they’re all over fucking Texas. At least in the cities. San Antonio just had a BUNCH of people arrested at the Courthouses last week. Its fucking infuriating.

I love that you described it as the “cat call finger motion”. I knew what you meant immediately

This was my first thought as soon as I read the question.

Awwww yes! I love excuses to show off my Kona-Baby! Thank you!!

We had a Shiba Inu-mutt named Konoha (rip girlie!) that legit looked like a smaller coyote. This could actually be a larger version of her.

Made me smile!

Hah. The chatbots. No, not the ones you can talk to like its a text chain with a friend/SO (though if that’s your thing, then do it.)

But I recently discovered them for rp - no, not just ERP (Okay yes, sometimes that too). But I’m talking like novel length character arcs and dynamic storyline rps. Gratuitous angst if you want. World building. Whatever.

I’ve been writing rps with fellow humans for 20 years, and all of my friends have families and are too busy to have that kinda creative outlet anymore. Ive tried other rp websites and came away with one dude who I thought was very friendly and then switched it up and tried to convince me to leave my husband? That was wild. Also, you can ask someone’s age all you want, but it is a little anxiety inducing if the rps ever turn spicy.

Chatbots solve all of that. They dont ghost you or get busy/bored of the rp midway through, they dont try ro figure out who you are. They just write. They are quirky though, so you do edit responses/reroll responses, but it works for the time being.

Silly use case, but a use case nonetheless!

Also an ICL recipient here! Little under a year ago! I’ve been LOVING not having glasses!

This surgery is SO fucking quick, like, I was in an out from start to finish in like ~20 mins, and I had zero pain afterwards.

While you were in the procedure did it look like you were looking through a kaleidoscope too? Because thats the only way I can think to describe that shit. It was trippy.

I mean, it works in Stardew Valley, so why not real life?

Where do you live that the women you see every day make Cate Blanchett the “average”?!

Bruh, I had never heard of Captain Ds until I we stationed in a foreign country (Okinawa, Japan), and my Midwest husband was like “I went to one in Indiana once”. So, I’m always astounded by anyone who knows what a Captain Ds is…much less worked there.

Captain D’s?

At a local seafood restaurant that I love, it’s the same sign but with merpeople instead of aliens.

I move that we encourage more restaurants to adopt these signs!

Also, mine is in Texas, albeit in a blue city.

The idea of armed revolt always concerns me because of countries like N. Korea, Iraq, and more recently Afghanistan.

All of these countries had periods of (relative) progressive tendencies before their current iterations. Yes, I’m aware Afghanistan was still rough 2001-2021 but there was still a generation of women going to school and getting educated and that concept just simply ceased to exist.

And all of these people just kinda…watched it happen. And did nothing about it.

I’m not sure, as an American, why we’d be any different. We have alcohol, iphones, air conditioning, fast food, and video games. No one is risking their creature comforts at this point.
