Is insulting his skin supposed to be a supportive and romantic thing? Because I don't find it to be. Sigh. Why is negging treated so romantically by MAME?

angie and "belief will set you free."

no.

do not quote Scripture incorrectly at me.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31-32.)

particularly within a game where finding out the truth and bringing it to light is not only very important but one of the themes for our detective character, who is scared of seeing the truth and the consequences of bringing it to light, do NOT quote Scripture wrong to me.

David Tennant should auction off just the top button from that vest for charity. Some nutter would pay a lot for it and then probably suck on it of something.

ya know, as much as it gets discussed as "an adhd thing" I don't think rsd is innate to adhd at all.

I think it's something that develops in response to the chronic invalidation and rejection that people with adhd experience, and people with adhd are vulnerable to it because they often struggle with emotion regulation in the first place. but if anything it's more a learned stimulus response than anything like...innate to the disorder. ya know.

if you struggle with emotion regulation you're probably gonna be more predisposed to it, but it's the experience of chronic rejection that most likely causes it. not adhd (or any neurodivergence) itself.

ABO, huh? 😏

*raises my hand to ask a question* what if we collectively refused to refer to AI as 'AI'? it's not artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence doesn't currently exist, it's just algorithms that use stolen input to reinforce prejudice. what if we protested by using a more accurate name? just spitballing here but what about Automated Biased Output (ABO for short)

unoriginal joke

[bumblingbabooshka]

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

I was walking on a rather remote beach when I came upon this Whip eel drying up in the sun. These are intertidal eels that can actually handle themselves out of water for a bit, but it’s not normal for them to be fully exposed in direct sunlight like this. The tide was at least six hours from coming in and I felt like this eel was in distress, so I made the decision to dig him out and return to the ocean. His body was too delicate to be simply pulled from the hole without injury, so I got to digging.

This endeavor took about 40 minutes as the eel was quite long and difficult to excavate. Also had to continually refill my temporary eel pond to keep him from drying out entirely while I worked.

If you are an eel aficionado like myself, please enjoy this silly little video of the relocation process set to some jaunty royalty-free disco music.
