I personally agree with this, with a few exceptions (mostly proshippers. Proshippers either get upset when they see it and/or bug off, at least from my experience. If they know you're an "anti," they'll usually leave. I don't want them interacting with me, they don't want me interacting with them, it's generally a win-win).

The majority of DNIs I've seen? Absolutely worthless. That transphobe or racist isn't going to be stopped by your bio. They're gonna harass you no matter what. And if you want to express your support for minorities, there are less performative ways to do so - such as outright stating your support of trans rights or POC rights instead! It goes a long way for you to actually share support, rather than just posting a DNI list no one will read.

its 2025 now. time to get rid of "dni bad people" shit. and "basic dni criteria" too. here, i said it. it doesn't save you from interacting with people you don't like and you look performative and silly🤔

I miss when MePad would randomly say things on his screen cause sometimes he was a sassy lil stinker and it was awesome. Sometimes he got silly with it. He had joy and whimsy.

The fact an entire fandom gaslit me into thinking this character was a girl makes me mad. Since its canon Flaky has a vague and conflicting gender, with the show even poking fun at it, I'm declaring them my next nonbinary icon and no one can stop me.

The fact there's a whole joke with Flaky being unsure which bathroom to use. That's me everyday in public. They get me.

[Spoiler discussion]

Made this image mostly as a joke but can anyone actually give a solid reason why he didn't just teleport himself and MePhone4 away? I love S2E18 and MePad's sacrifice was 100% in character and was fitting for his arc, but the way it was done felt a bit lazy, I have to admit.

No excuses or reasons are given for him not just teleporting away, it's just not addressed. Maybe Cobs has a device that deactivates Meeple abilities? Maybe MePad feels the need to stay put to keep Cobs' attention away from the Shimmers? But then, why not communicate any of this within the episode? MePad's greatest ability is teleportation, and you can say he even teleported in front of MePhone4 to save him, but then, why not just teleport out of there? Why stay around the guy with murderous intent and a guy who's currently holding a bunch of lives and could easily lose this fight?

I would actually like to ask Brian or Adam about it but I also don't want to sound rude. I love the final episode, it's beautiful, and you could argue I'm nitpicking. I just feel that if they were going to do the "great sacrifice for MePhone4" trope again (which again is fitting), they'd want to make sure it was warranted.

did you just say........ Toilet.....?

(Real answer: I think more people online generally understand some of the appeal to object shows, while skibidi toilet stuff has mostly remained a vague meme. Most people can't describe it whatsoever other than "brainrot", while object shows can somewhat be described more concretely, even from an outsider.)

object show fans b like “oh my gosh i cannot believe Rusty Screw betrayed Tape Dispenser in the semifinals, u can see the pain in Dorito Bag’s eyes when it happens…. i really wish Cucumber got voted back in instead of HDMI Cable, but it was really cute to see HDMI & Piece of Lint’s relationship progress”

Darting my eyes... What if I made a Pizza Tower personality quiz...?

(Updated so that maybe people will get Pepperman less. If nothing changes I'm just gonna assume a bunch of Peppermans follow me.)

To whine into the void a little, I hate that I have to constantly doubt myself. Some people around me pushed me to be in a relationship when I was having significant doubts about my own feelings (I knew I wasn't feeling romantic attraction, even the other person knew, but it seemed like no one considered how I felt about it). The relationship existed out of misguided hope and the idea of it being a sort of exposure therapy or something. I openly expressed I wanted something queerplatonic, but was pressured into something romantic instead.

I hate feeling like I'm broken, that just "finding the one" will fix me. I hate the idea of marriages. I immediately distrust anyone who expresses romantic feelings for me, I usually feel outright disgusted. I want to be able to be close to someone without these weird romantic obligations.

I know I'm traumatized and I know I'm autistic. My life story is a massive trigger list I can't begin to talk about. But I also know that, from an early age, every "crush" I ever had? I just really wanted to be that person's friend. I didn't think about dating or whatever romantic fantasies people have - I just liked them, and liked how they made me feel. Unfortunately I tend to latch onto people who do not have the best intentions.

It is no wonder I constantly think, "Am I just aroace? Or is my trauma so bad and so deeply wired into my soul that I'll never find value in building relationships again?"

"it's ok for labels to change as you learn more about yourself" and "i hope with every fiber of my being that I'm right about being aroace and nobody will come along to change my mind because I hate the idea of being in a romantic relationship or conforming to gender roles or heteronormativity" are two sentences that can and should coexist.

Discussing and elaborating an idea I had:

I've genuinely always liked the idea that she becomes the "queen of Olathe" as an adult who just exists in legend (avoids people and kills anyone who finds her).

Maybe a mural would be created in her honor, where "followers" of "the queen" would leave offerings (often stolen by thieves and hungry animals) hoping it'd somehow bless them with more women, kids, or whatever else. Murals of Buddy would always distort her face, as during the rare times she makes her presence in Olathe known, she's always raring some strange mask. However, there are some who claim they have seen her face, describing its scarred and rugged features.

Top 10 most disturbing liveleak videos. Number 3: Peppino gets waterboarded and tortured while his captor laughs at him. Truly sickening.

[Original images and context can be found here. Give Ghostly's tweet a like, this joke wouldn't have been possible without him lmao.]

My biggest advice to Americans online: talk to non-Americans. It is genuinely eye-opening. You start to realize everything you thought was normal about our society isn't normal, and looks batshit insane from an outsider's perspective.

Of course right wing extremists or the worshipping of Trump is easy to point out and laugh at, but it's far more than that. Until yesterday, I had no idea that other countries don't have a credit system, unless you want to argue China has one (albeit it works differently). Other countries don't allow private businesses to dictate if you can buy a home or not. Other countries don't require you to pay outrageous costs for education or medical treatment.

My boyfriend (non-American) freaked out when I told him we have to buy our flu shots. For all of my life, that has just been normal, and I never even really thought to question it.

Talking to non-Americans forces you to question everything this batshit country has normalized. More and more I'm convinced my life goal is to get the hell out of this place.

I know I'm not as vocal about politics here as I am on Twitter, but let me be clear, we WILL see a free Palestine. What Israel is doing is genocide, and anyone who refuses to acknowledge it is a fool and a coward. During the Super Bowl (in which they aired a pity ad for Israel,) Rafah, the declared safe-zone of Gaza, was horrifically bombed. They're probably still bombing it as I type this. I can't live in a world like this, where my government actively let my parents die - gave them a dogshit healthcare system and no resources to escape poverty so they were forced to die at home, my mom given no type of funeral or memorial because no one could afford it - but will go out of its way to fund Israel's genocide again Palestine.

Gaza is being bombed at this very moment in the “designated safe zone”

Pointing this out since someone mentioned it to me forever ago: guys, this isn't Vigi.

The Vigilante is a bounty hunter, pretty different from a sheriff. This isn't an out-of-character Vigilante moment, this is a completely different guy, thus why Vigi is able to show up at the end of the comic while the sheriff is tied up.

(I guess it doesn't help that any cheeseslime + cowboy hat = Vigi, but I've seen enough confusion about this comic that I wanted to say something.)
