Something I really love about a sandwich (burgers included) is that depending on its orientation while taking a bite you can completely change the flavour and texture, depending on the order of ingredients.

Ask everyone if they bold their sluglines. Regardless of how they answer, tell them they're wrong.

I wonder if, centuries from now, these latest wars in the middle east will be recorded as just a continuation of the Crusades.

I use a browser add-on called Fluff-Busting Purity which removes all ads and suggested posts from your feed, and then set my feed to be in chronological order rather than the algorithm. And I'm still about to leave because of how bad it's gotten.

I've had that in Spain where specifically Belgian feels like a compliment. If they assumed English I would have taken it as an insult though lol

I like how any time Killy fires it, he might as well be saying, "gun, delete that."

I barely remember that, I don't think I got that far into it. My Diablo clone that likewise no one remembers is Harbinger.

Other people have given the real answer (accessibility) so I will say that it's to hide extra jokes.

It's not quite as literal, but makes the analogy that human civilization builds upon itself in the same fashion, something I already wholeheartedly agree with.

The Most Powerful Type of Worldbuilding YouTube video by Curious Archive

Curious Archive has a video on this type of worldbuilding, and how it's more natural to have a setting which has grown out of the corpses of older civilizations.

"What changed such that xyz is now a viable and/or actionable as opposed to when I suggested it earlier?"

I got the perfect pair of burgundy pants in Spain years ago, and they've damaged beyond repair. The company no longer makes those pants. I understand the pain.

Are people falling asleep because they've been listening to a metronome going TikTok for years now?

What's this Honk Shoo app people are talking about? Sounds like a real snore to me.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

Thank you for sharing, I somehow missed this and am absolutely here for it. Beyond the topic and humour, I really enjoy the character design.

Western animation currently feels like it's struggling to find an identity in this, and so I love a unique take that matches the mood/theme of the show/movie

I love the internet because it allows you to connect with people who share your same values

Sometimes you just go out onto the internet to have a good time, whereupon suddenly you are attacked

You could have been describing the Greensboro game and changed nothing but the location and it all would have still been true. It might just be a consequence of the culture that VtM inspired.

I think this is the first time I've worked on something that's stirring in the gestalt and it's interesting to see examples play out before you and how people react.

4/4
