if 5 people are sitting together, and 4 of them proudly proclaim to be nazis, and the 5th person doesn’t leave - there are 5 nazis sitting together

be the repost you wish to see in this world

I want to like hot showers, but it dries out my skin so badly, and it makes me feel like a pierogi that’s been left out too long; without any butter or sour cream

same! went to my spouse’s work party last week, and proceeded to develop a gnarly cold by the time xmas rolled in.

I’m better now, of course; just in time to get back to work.

owls prey on mice, which makes them a humorous analogue for politicians, but also making them specifically a parliament of owls is comedic gold.

well played, robot

totally makes up for the detached tail and messed up eyes on every third bird

I never use prime, and stuff usually shows up in 2 or 3 days, anyway. They optimized their shipping abilities, and then convinced some people to pay more for it.

my manager made the same choice, to evenly split pay for our team, when he was offered a higher budget/salary/etc.

one of many reasons I’ll be staying there.

well now, how about that

of course you don’t!

I’m sorry you had to see such depravity, and so close to home

the ol’ muddy basement window

I’ve seen this reposted a lot, and yet I still always see it as thicc batman. the optical illusion is forever stuck in my brain

…and centuries of royal inbreeding

just watched that episode recently! there’s a ton of small historical details in the show.

I just watched one that utilized an older anaesthetic called curare, and discusses how it was banned for a time, which was true, until safer versions were synthesized.

excelsior!

it seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.

Hype is the not-so-quiet killer of good movies, but it’s a paradox: good movie gets spread by word-of-mouth so much that people stop wanting to hear about it and create a negative opinion before ever engaging with it.

I do my best to recommend movies/tv/games with simple “I liked it” or “it’s worth watching” type statements. I try to avoid overly personal statements like “you would love this” or “you need to see this”, since it takes the autonomy away from the person who might choose to watch it. Additionally, I very often use the phrase “say no more” when getting recommendations, to let people know I’m convinced to try it, without the need for overbearing elaboration.

I have had things ruined by pre-judgment for the over-hyped, and all I can do now is try not to ruin things for anyone else. It’s natural to want to rave about something we really like, but it’s worth being conscious of how bias can set in and affect other people.

you only ever get one true blind playthrough. I would gladly blank all of my soulsborne knowledge to play through all of them again with fresh eyes.

it’s not the same, but if you’re playing on PC there are some decent mods for DS 1, 2, and 3 that make them a little more fresh. particularly, the randomizer for DS1 makes it a pretty hilarious challenge, since you can no longer plan your runs in advance, and have to roll with absolutely mismatched gear

if the MBTA ever gets its shit together, cars could disappear entirely in the city

don’t hold your breath for that one

similar 100% true story from a green text:

kid goes out for his 21st, and grandpa tells him that the secret to never getting too drunk is drinking some olive oil before a shot, so that the alcohol never enters the bloodstream, or something.

they follow through, and shit their pants after one round; ironically, the oil drinking did technically prevent them from getting drunk.

I don’t care if it’s fake, it’s still a hilarious idea
