I will NEVER understand why these fucking transphobes don’t understand how massively they are telling on themselves with these fucking « genital police » police ideas in all their various forms. The only place they’re gonna find the Scary Bad Pervert* is in a goddamn mirror.

I know what you mean, but EVERY time I see the phrase « pocket friends » my brain goes some very weird places.

No, not kinky ones, just weird. Like, Smurfs packaged like skittles, or tiny little heads on a string all chatting away happily until they’re pulled out and start glowing.

This bus is slow AF y’all. Should rode my bike this morning, but it was pissin’ down wet. :(

Neato!
You seemed down so. I figured some random (genuine) nice might be nice. I’ve been watching since I joined BS. Keep being cool. It’s cool. :)

I always like seeing your profile pic. It’s whimsical & makes me smile a bit inside.
So thanks for that.

Agree. But I am also biased as I also

Sincere question - it’s well known that you LOVE rehabbing broken characters. Did you get that thrill writing Morbius? (No deets, haven’t read it yet!! But I will. Soon™️)

Sure, I did. But your “gotcha guy” take is absolutist and silly. I can like specific franchises and still think the program in general is bad. If I could magically go back in time and make the sets I did buy vanish? I would.
But I suspect you can’t handle nuance.

I really really really really do think we should be shooting fascists, Nazis, and hard right douchebongos a lot more.

And I really really really really do think we should be doing a lot more to make all billionaires be shitting themselves in mortal fear whenever they go outside.

Why do you hate reason?

Wait…wait…..

Why U nastymaxxing w/the sarcasmogging? Total inverse aura farming.

Yesterday I was totemaxxed when I flibbleglirped the shizzpasser. Fodlebager totally juiced the happenshizz. Maximally animinimummed my skoozvibe.

Words cannot express how much I hate not being able to tell of fun things I see now are AI slop or not.

Fuckin Slop.
