No, I was entirely sincere. Not that it would matter, as people would likely take me at face value

I certainly don’t blame anyone. Fervent protection of disadvantaged groups is fine by me, even from people looking to do the same. Lol

I’d come to enjoy several creators who simply could not tolerate the negative attention of bigots. People’s desire to compel conformity, against the very nature of their subjects, creates a society that is not only deleterious to them and their subject, but mentally taxing to the rest of us. Literally not a single soul directly involved in this comes out ahead. It’s just a game designed to promote infighting and tertiary power grabs.

And that’s why I love lemmy. The general absence of []-phobes is fantastic. It’s the only reason I can tolerate the general inability to read sarcasm here.

I’d never even considered toilet paper, but they do tend to skimp heavily on nutrition in the US. Meals are often low calorie, high carb, low protein and a poor source of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, calls can be as much as $5 per minute. Guards have the ability to levy fines upon prisoners by inventing imaginary issues, which usually also extends a prisoner’s sentence.

Prisons are gross in the US

I still just can’t manage it. One side slips and the other crumbles because of the lack of tension! I’m certain that it’s possible, but I’m giving up once again.

That was the only thing that kept the wound within my ego from festering. “It’s a different material! The bag’s larger. It can’t be me.” But it is, and I’m angery

Edit: the plastic just flexes and slides too much! One side always comes undone. This is ridiculous and probably a hate crime

I’ve worked in a restaurant. My job, at every spare moment, was to fold-seal little paper bags filled with goodies precisely this way. I’ve likely made thousands of these folds, if not tens of thousands. 50x4/7x365x4, if I had to guess. I’ve attempted this with chip bags dozens of times and never managed it. Seeing this feels like a taunt, you son of a bitch

I always assumed it was helpful to get the gunk off of your teeth so the hygienist doesn’t have to spend an extra minute or two with you. The less time I’m forced to keep my mouth open, the better. My lips get chapped, my tongue goes dry, I’m bored. It serves utilitarian function

Ramp up and down your productivity through the day. Leave yourself time to recover during the last hours of work, both mentally and physically, so that you can do what you like when you get back home. Never tell your boss that you’re doing this. They will see the peak of your ramp and that alone, and their expectations will climb

I’ve heard that it’s fairly common in food service to “always be closing” so that you can finish and leave at the drop of a hat.

I’ll believe it when I see it. By Jove do I hope I’ll see it

So was sicario edit: and the raid, but most isn’t all. Visual effects are simply too tantalizing and/or useful. Particularly for landscapes, I simply don’t notice

Yeah, I was racking my brain to find a major movie filmed in the last decade without digital effects so that I could induce a recognition of the passage of time, and I couldn’t manage it. Covid started more than half a decade ago, and modern movies rarely use solely practical effects

Dude, it’s multi-author-comic level bad. I’ve skipped entire sagas in several book series due to a lack of translations and ended up less confused. It’s green arrow levels of clone shenanigans.

To be clear, I’ve played most of the games and they’re still ridiculously difficult to keep track of. All besides the mobile, early non-Ventus card mechanic arpg, and the disappearing girl clone sora game.

They’d be easier to follow if they stuck to the rules of their own universe. Body and heart separate and the body persists not once but twice? What?

Kingdom hearts 1 was a coming of age story with some fantastic elements tossed in

Kingdom hearts 2 was about antipathy and how it destroys the world, with some, uhh, who was that guy? And why’s the bad guy on my side?

Kingdom hearts 3 was, wait, why was he cloned? When was he cloned? When was she, and him, and him again? And his third clone was a girl? And whose heart was imbued into what? What war? What? Who? What???

Frankly, this is good news. Whoever buys the rights to kingdom hearts in 3 years when the company falls apart might manage to create an intelligible storyline.

Don’t be too impressed. Half were sat around a table feeding one another hotdogs, while the other half were wiping tears from his face and consoling him in Thai.

directors commentary

Eh. The only director’s commentary I’ve ever seen is napoleon dynamite, and that was solely because I learned that they cut one of the characters out. There were originally two Hispanic kids. I see no reason to remove the magic from one of my favorite movies

Spooky, and trying very hard to be, to middling success. Less Rosemarys baby, more Halloween.

Inadvertent YouTube channel recommendations weren’t on the docket, by definition, but my infinite backlog grows all the same

Fair deal, but I’m all out of bisque. Thai red curry alright?
