Yup! We call it “the heads” in my area. I’ve also heard people joke about blindness from lead exposure from shitty DIY distilleries but I don’t know if that really happens nowadays.

Shen is constantly playing gay (and trans) chicken with himself. If he’s actually cishet he might be the second man in the world who had to come out as such.

Noob question but is there a reason I can’t seem to open it in the app? It keeps opening in Firefox

Been trying to get back into animation as it used to be a huge passion of mine. Went to see The Wild Robot and thought it was visually gorgeous, and I appreciated that it kept a consistent sentimental tone. Lately I feel like a lot of movies have this snarky self-deprecating humor and don’t try to be sincere until the end of the second act, and it’s nice to see a break from that.

Also it’s just a 15-minute series made to sell a video game, so there’s no real resolution, but I enjoyed Shadow the Hedgehog: Dark Beginnings. I haven’t seen Shadow written with any sentimentality in a while, and the fight scenes were fun to watch. Add some sweet and funny interactions with Rouge and my inner 12-year-old is happy.

This is horrifying for a lot of reasons but it’d be nice if my boss had to see the amount of people who yell at me for masking or tell me I look like a man every day. It wouldn’t help anything I just hate my boss and want her to feel the awkwardness

I’ll take any reference that isn’t Wonderland!

I really wanted that site to crash and burn. Oh well.

It’s a normal Ethiopian name as far as I can tell.

I got Sonic X Shadow Generations as an early birthday present 🥹 I’m no good at Sonic games that use boost and drift controls, plus I’ve been busy, so I’m taking my time playing through the story, but it was a sweet present and I’m feeling super nostalgic.

Plus it’s nice to see Shadow being written better. Sega’s own writers have been pretty vocal about hating how they’re told to write him. It seems like Sega’s finally starting to ease up and letting them inject a little more emotion into the silly Shonen animal series again.

I guess so. I do that with my own pain, I’d think people would be upset if I did it with theirs.

Our queer siblings being horrifically abused doesn’t make us cool or quirky, it’s a tragedy.

Yeah! It’s a common name for gray/brown spotted slugs.

I mean I can’t find a result for “‘blimpson’ ‘surname’” that isn’t in reference to this post. Can’t find a reason to believe it.

Slugs are my favorite animal! I’ve also never seen a red one outside of pictures. Mostly either brown slugs or leopard slugs.

Sonic: oh no they took my chili dog

Shadow: oh no they shot a 12-year-old right in front of me

Truly the most game series ever

There’s a Tumblr account that makes a ton of these. Not the first to do it, but I think the only person keeping the meme alive in 2024.

Thank you! I was so scared I was going to snap that tail off.

I always have to point and go “you see that thingy between the aisles??” because I don’t know what else to call it.

But heads up to non-retail folk, we call the long free-standing coolers and freezers in action alley the middle of the floor bunkers.

We call that middle section with bunkers and four-ways smaller grocery displays “action alley”. God knows why.

Local theatre company usually puts on a fundraiser party that’s a surprising amount of fun. I like to put together a homemade costume the best I can and get juuuuust drunk enough to embarrass myself on the dance floor.

Unfortunately it’s canceled this year due to the usual party-thrower quitting the board of directors 😭 I’m a little short on time and money so it’s probably a blessing in disguise, but I’m already daydreaming about next Halloween. I’m thinking giant foam SpongeBob head 🤔

That must have been miserable for opposite reasons than my experience. :( Not fair that some people had to do that, but not enough to actually keep the numbers down.
