This is definitely a good grift for someone looking to enhance their Labubu collection with donations.

I feel a lot more comfortable with religious extremists giving their money to a Labubu huckster than a televangelist or a mega church.

I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me. You know, when I left the house today I was thinking “Damn, I really hope some hot chick paints my brains all over some fucking hallway.” And here we are.

I mean, really, just absolutely destroy me. I’m talkin’ full on, watermelon in the thighs level carnage.

And I want it to scare the shit outta me. I mean I hope I piss myself. I hope I piss myself and you call me your little “peepee pisspiss boy.” I want you to fuck me up. I mean I want you to make me your bitch. Your little peepee piss myself bitch.

I want it to get embarrassing. I mean like… weirdly embarrassing. Unsanitary, too. We should be entirely different people, by the end of the first eight hours.

Do you understand what I’m trying to say here? I mean, l’m a real freak. I’m not normal.

Ma’am… Please… You have to crush me.

I wonder if a squirt bottle would still work/be better? Airsoft is pretty expensive from what I remember as a kid lol

Edit: I’m sure it would be cheaper, so my real question is if the monkeys would respond well enough to water lol

I mean, fuck all of those ass hats. Alito is a fucking loser.

People revere Thomas Jefferson. I think the musical “Hamilton” (while it still glosses over some issues for the sake of entertainment) really shed light on his personality and lack of deep conviction.

I’ve said before, he was a great revolutionary writer, but should never have touched administration.

Edit: incorrect capitalization

Jesus. That title hit too hard. Fuck this timeline.

“Yes.”

“Well, that dog won’t hunt!”

Dessau Wasser, to be specific ;)

I hate dead hands lol

Edit: especially when they don’t even really work off of a wish or command from the deceased

I agree that the Funko Pop example cheapens their property. Doesn’t seem that they care.

And of course it’s not about just one wing truck. Estates like these are not innovating and are not holding air shows or wing competitions. And unless they’re stealing trade secrets of making wing sauces or the intricacies of hosting aerial events, I say let the estate compete in those areas or even choose to sponsor these already established entities who’ve entered the market before the estate did anything with their IP.

I’ve also never understood things like this from a marketing perspective. Like this is definitely dissimilar, but even if it were an on the nose deal with like “Sauron Sauce” or whatever as one of their offerings, you’re still getting recognition.

Even if the Tolkien estate were concerned about the cheapening of their “brand”, who tf cares? It’s obviously not about that, because I just checked and there is a line of LOTR Funko Pops for fuck’s sake.

And if a work like The Lord of the Rings can’t stand on its own (with regard to seriousness and artistic value) with the addition of kitschy wing trucks, I don’t know what else would.

Seems like a win-win to me, but then again, I fucking hate trademarking and patenting laws in general. Intellectual property is a pretty spurious concept at best and courts around the world have consistently shown it is a tool used to quash innovation, promote stagnant wealth, and keep the heel on the middle and lower classes.

Ew.

A friend recently recommended the Persona series, so I think I’m gonna have to go with Persona 5 Royal.

Something that made me happy this year (and gaming related) is that we finally got a remote Dungeons and Dragons group going with that friend, our significant others, and our mutual friend group. After a little hemming and hawing over how to set it up, we went with Foundry Virtual Tabletop (which we find suits our needs). It’s good to be DMing for these friends and new faces again!

For a game recommendation/story, our tabletop group had been bandying around throwing in some one shots to try out some different systems and Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader came up.

I’m pretty excited to test it out and recently found that Owlcat released a Rogue Trader crpg. I’ve been pretty busy near the end of the calendar year, so jumping into some science fantasy lore to share with my girlfriend has been great. I’ll have to talk with the guy GMing that one shot about the similarities between the crpg and the tabletop system, but we’re already brainstorming characters for the one shot and beyond (if we like it).

Hope this reply finds you all cozy and enjoying the season. This giveaway is a really cool idea and good luck everyone!

They just like the cool greens. I feel like that may be an interesting experience.

Just saw this, but yeah, definitely. I just wanted to be clear that I’m not dumping on experts in general lol I think people took offense.

And I think it’s even more dangerous than that, it’s not just people providing a solitary or fringe supported theory or conclusion.

Especially with a test like what was described, if you get an expert to put their thumb on the scales of an already pretty cloudy issue, it’s even more effective in a case. If they’re mainly doing that to help line their pockets, they’ll be more likely to play fast and loose with their statements.

Boomers act like preteens…

Quite a few. It’s definitely hyperbole, but in civil litigation, it’s hard to get people who are actually doing research/still practicing their craft and have recent knowledge/are the real deal as they feel like they’re better serving their interests by not wasting their time on a court case (which I find pretty hard to disagree with, tbh).

Edit: added the stuff about recent knowledge as there are definitely good intentioned people who will start doing this kind of work as they wind down their practice or research.

I mean, context matters, I’m mostly talking about the ones employed in a civil litigation context.

I would say those approached by journalists are less likely to be in on the take.

Lol I find it infuriating as well. Ugh…
