[A screenshot of a Reddit post on r/Advice, titled "I got kicked out of Cici's Pizza for eating too much at an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet... should I file a lawsuit?" The post says "I'm currently an 18 year-old male and I'm 5'11/125 lbs, and my doctor recommended that I literally "go all out" and eat a bunch of food because my BMI is frighteningly low. I decided to go to the local Cici's Pizza because they offer an all-you-can-eat buffet. I stayed for around 45 minutes (around 4:15-5:00P.M.) and ate 22 pieces of pizza. As I was about to try some pineapple/ham pizza that they just set out, the manager ran up to me and informed me that I had exceeded the max amount that you can eat at the buffet. What the hell? It's literally called an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET. I have heard of no such thing in my life. Maybe they shouldn't charge such a low price if they are going to get pissed off. Has anyone experienced something similar, or should I make a complaint? I don't want to seem like "that one guy" who files a lawsuit for false advertisement, but I mean... All-You-Can-Eat... :["]

im at a restaurant right now and there's this like 16 year old kid sitting at the table next to me completely alone with like 6 racks of ribs. hes eating like 1 rib every 10 seconds and the poor server who was assigned to him has to keep getting him new ribs. ive been here for an hour just watching this kid inhale ribs like he's gonna die the next day. he probably will given the amount of hot sauce he put on them

olympics coming up…… athlete aus on the mind….. satoru as a swimmer….. unreasonably large wingspan…. huge hands..... thinks “official” competitions and tournaments are boring because he can’t use the goofy purple googly eyes goggles he likes to practice in…… practices at ungodly hours solely because he likes when the pool is empty because that means you’ll dip your feet in at the edge and be there to greet him with a kiss when he’s finished his laps….. they bring up the stats board and it’s just his name ten times before the next fastest person and he could still lap them, and even tho he’ll always put so much pressure on himself to be the best, it’s worth it to have you hold his face and tell him you’re proud of him... he’s gotten so much merch from events and sponsorships and he used to think they just created clutter but that all changes when you start to wear his clothes (esp the ones with his name on it… he’s not proud to admit that does Something to him)…. always looks up to the stands when he finishes a race and if he knows you’re not there, he looks right at the camera, draws an infinity sign with his fingers, and blows a kiss (which, some commentators routinely call “unsportsmanlike conduct” but he doesn’t care, and always, publicly says he’ll pay the fees if it means blowing a kiss to his girl at home)

I think something i don't often see in discussions about Futa's character is how, if you really take a second, he's kind of a people pleaser

He isn't so in a way like what Mikoto got going on, he does want to be around people of the same interests as him, and you wouldn't think he'd care about anything but authenticity if you stayed with the way he behaves on milgram. It is only when you think about him -in- those social circles he manages to get into that you can see him tweaking lol

I think the closest to see this that we have in milgram itself is that one interaction with Kotoko in which she attempts to debate how prisons respect human rights. Any other time he expressed his opinion/stance on things he was aggressive and maybe condescending to the rest because they disagreed with him, but the second someone agreed? Whole demeanor changed. Suddenly he didn't have much to say anymore and he just parroted Kotoko's words back at her. Why. If he has such a strong personality and mindset, why was someone validating his point enough to shut down his otherwise very firm attitude?

Futa doesn't go as far as to manufacture his every word for it to cause a positive reaction on others from the get go, but he does seek validation all the same. He braces himself for rejection by being loud and obnoxious and harsh until he sees a positive reaction and then is when he does a complete 180 to keep the other person in that place of validation. He is simultaneously completely bad at it though, but I never said he was good at people pleasing. Which connects back to what i've said before about his inability to fit in. Even when he thinks he's doing it right and he sees himself getting validation by people he cares about (in the case of his crime, by mimicking his friendgroup's method of "bringing justice" by calling out someone online, that same friendgroup following along and reinforcing the idea that he was doing it right), he ultimately fails anyway and loses it all over again.

In the end, he's just extremely socially awkward and anxious. It isn't in his nature to reach anyone else's expectations even if he genuinely wants to, so he'll either do what he can within his parameters (mold himself for his friendgroup of people he deems similar to him) or he'll avoid trying altogether because he knows he'll fail (what we see in milgram!)

It also shows how his yearn for a support system (t2 qna + mu's birthday timeline convo) isn't particularly new from his current circumstances, or why the only person he could think of when asked who he would want to see right now was his mom (who left so long ago he barely remembers her). He has just never truly had people that genuinely cared for him no matter what he tried to do to make himself likeable.

@luminescent-cow (frantic) I love the way you worded this because it reminds me of 2 of my favorite art pieces that I think fits sukuita in a way (it's probably the brainrot but wtv)

"The anatomy of a hug" by Luna Lu

"this is what love feels like I think" by sardineslayer_ on twt

sharing one heart and one mind in addition to one soul... it makes me a bit insane and I want to grab these two and smash them together until they're indistinguishable from one another <3

if sasuke was the main character then he probably would've been a LOT more sympathised with than he is now (which is to say rarely). like the narrative wouldn't even need to change to show his pains or 'his side of the story', bc it does that plenty. it's just that he is not the main character. and idk what it is about our human minds but we tend to sympathise with main characters automatically (unless ofc you go off the rockers insane and do something like obliterate almost everyone from the planet *cough* eren yeager *cough*)

an instance that comes to my mind where this does happen is with lelouch from code geass. while i don't agree with his character motivations, people generally do sympathise with him as he is the mc and as viewers we know he isn't inherently evil. sasuke's goal towards the end is slightly similar but ofc people love to hate him so they don't even try to understand where he is coming from.

my point is, most people while engaging with the naruto story don't read between the lines and so don't see how traumatised and in pain sasuke is and hence don't understand his character motivations. heck, they don't understand a single bit about him and so they automatically hate him, as he is supposedly going against the main character's goals.

which is really sad given all that he has been through.

because I see discourse about this again, I'd like to once again be brave and controversial and say that the issue with Sebastian St. Vincent having an (unbeknownst to him) secret baby revealed in Devil in Disguise is not that he has a secret baby at all... because let us be honest, no matter how careful he was, no man in the 1800s was getting as much ass as Sebastian St. Vincent pre-Evie without siring AT LEAST one kid (probably more lbr)

The issue is that Lisa Kleypas honestly wants me to believe that Sebastian (a man who, let us remember, KIDNAPPED HIS BEST FRIEND'S LADY LOVE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANNA GET A JOB) would've been a good dad to his illegitimate child pre-Evie, which actually makes his entire arc of "becomes a real boy/learns how to be useful and have character" in Devil in Winter pointless because apparently his inner goodness would've just been triggered had he found out that some lady he was fucking got up the duff

Like, look into your heart and you know that AT BEST Sebastian would've been floating some child support that kid's way, and those checks would've bounced 75% of the time pre-Evie

And you know what??? I think he PROBABLY would've just told that lady to go convince her man that it was is baby, JUST LIKE my boy from Flowers from the Storm. OR he would've put him in some corner like Dain from Lord of Scoundrels (and Evie would've been like ARE YOU FUCKING FR ABOUT THIS just like Jessica in Lord of Scoundrels)

Oh but look both of the books I just referenced are considered historical romance classics even though the heroes do legitimately shitty things would you look at that huh

anyways i think if i was currently in school and a teacher said "write an essay about literally anything" i'd for once get at least a B on an essay because my autism would grab hold of my keyboard and write a 50 page dissertation on slay the princess

50 page because i'd jump from how it portrays various sorts of love (romantic, platonic, mutually destructive, toxic, etc.), to how the voices connect to each of their princesses (including chapter 3 voices), to the parallels between certain princesses (ex. the damsel and the prisoner), to the general metaphorical and spiritual connection between the long quiet and the shifting mound, to the LITERAL connection formed with the wild and how close she had come to understanding the truth, to-

anyways if i was more confident i'd still write this

but confident about personal analysis towards interests i am not

[puppppppppy]

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

sweeney todd audio gift - february 28, 2023

[untracked audio]

CAST: josh groban (sweeney todd), annaleigh ashford (mrs. lovett), jordan fisher (anthony), gaten matarazzo (tobias), ruthie ann miles (beggar woman), maria bilbao (johanna), jamie jackson (judge turpin), john rapson (beadle bamford), nicholas christopher (pirelli)

notes: decently clear audio. this was the second night of previews so the audience was really excited, lots of laughter and applause. you may hear some other chatter from the people around me, most notably the woman next to me saying "aww" very audibly during the final sequence (...), and a man who sounds like the joker laughing at inappropriate times. but this was a great show, the cast was fantastic and audience energy was high! annaleigh ashford was especially hilarious- when you hear laughter in this audio without a clear cause, it will almost always be because of her visual performance. (slight spoiler) there's a moment in "a little priest" that seems to be a planned break-in like in the most recent music man revival, where ashford attempts to jump on a table and misses, then has another try after that before she succeeds, leaving her and groban trying to contain their laughter. when i was keeping up with audience reviews of previews on reddit, this seemed to be a common note across all of them, but the audience loved it either way. overall a really great show with great performances!

Also I feel like I have to say this but FUCK Toy Story 4. Awful movie, bad execution, poor excuse for a sequel.
