Nonsense, “spaghettified” is a perfectly cromulent word

Yeah, I thought this was an entirely different story at first

Bitten by a radioactive housecat, I gain the ability to sleep deeply and comfortably in a position that by all rights looks like it should be destroying my spine

Like I’ll take whatever else you wanna throw on top, night vision or claws or something, but I only really need that first thing

Cool, now actually enforce that judgment

I was correct, this is information I did not explicitly need and find yucky. Thanks!

100% correct. One of the most frustrating things with talking women’s sports, imo, is the same as talking about abortion: me personally? I’m not a woman. Never have been. Due in no small part to that I don’t think I have any fuckin business deciding what’s best for women, assigned at birth or otherwise.

I don’t know a lot about boxing either. I’m pretty sure literally anyone competing in Women’s Olympic Boxing could lay me the fuck out. I don’t think what’s in their trunks or what diagnoses any of them may have contribute to that outcome so much as “they’re some of the best people in the world at punching other people”

I feel I’m gonna regret asking but what, pray tell, is the “fundie baby voice” you speak of?

I’ll probably get downvoted for it, but The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. The protagonist of the novel, first in a series, is the best example of a Marty Stu I have ever encountered in a book; Kvothe is the dullest, most offensively boring protagonist it has ever been my misfortune to meet. There’s absolutely zero narrative tension because the situation always boils down to “Kvothe wins immediately or Kvothe wins harder two chapters later.”

I peaced out around two-thirds of the way through. Amusingly one of my complaints, that the book had an unnecessarily high amount of smut for something not advertised as, gets even worse in the second book. No thanks

I can’t find anything on actual NK forces being deployed. Another user linked an article in English and near the end it postulates that this is sort of a win-win for NK that they can help their ally while gathering test data for the vehicles

That’s fucking weird, my reddit account wasn’t quite a decade old and I got an offer, ninja edit to add “that I obviously did not accept”

I mean this purely as an observation, but: almost certainly literal child detected

I’m in my mid 30s, and the people in my extended social circle around my age that don’t fire up a game at least once or twice a week are few and far between, even including the harried, busy, regular not-yet-grand parents, haha

Quick edit: imo, the ones not playing video games at my age (again, in my area) are generally the ones who seem the least like they have their shit together. It’s weird but it’s a thing I’ve noticed

The earth is healing 🙏

For part of today

My appliances.

The only “smart” appliance I own is a TV, and the ability to just press a few buttons instead of swapping inputs/cords to watch basically anything on it feels pretty futuristic. Even my dumb appliances have features now I never saw even in the rich kids’ houses as a kid in 90s. My toilet has a lid that is engineered to close slowly on its own with gravity instead of slamming. I can use the internet anywhere in my home from a handheld rectangle, man.

I’m dating myself hard with this comment, I know, but as a guy in his mid 30s I’m pretty routinely struck by the thought of how sci-fi some of my commonplace stuff really is compared to what I thought shit would look like as a kid/teenager.

Similar vein, don’t wash down your sleeping pills with like 4-5 glasses of water

To lump my own personal bitch onto this: liking a thing and bringing it up regardless of conversation or context isn’t a personality

You’re fairly visible with the way your username is (I see you in lots of different communities myself, this may not even be the first time I’ve spoken to you lol) and while it doesn’t matter to me or probably ≥99% of posters/commenters here it also appears you’re a furry judging from instance

It’s unfortunate, but that’s all it takes to get a few losers with too much time to creep and downvote

Also: I look forward to the ER content friendo, I’ll be subscribing momentarily

My favorite type of pizza is “nearby and warm,” though I’ll happily settle for “nearby”

Fetch as in fetching the hobbits for Master Saruman

So your stance is literally “human lives are a worthy sacrifice for this endeavor”

Is a home not under the constant annual threat of becoming unaffordable (I’m talking about renting, since you since seem to have reading comprehension difficulties) “too much” for someone to expect to achieve?
