I love the use of the term "productive" when used for coughing. Like you know exactly what a productive cough is, a good phlegmy one that clears your throat, doesn't hurt much most of the time. And then the unproductive coughs, your throat's just feeling irritated or tickly, and that doesn't just go away even with lozenges, gets worse as you cough more, to the point where your voice is gone.

I Wonder...

If Darth Sidious was Canadian, would his name would be Sheev Palpoutine?

HI!

I'm Dan the Pan Man!

You may be asking, why do you call yourself Dan the Pan Man, Dan the Pan Man?

Wonderful question, I'll tell you!

If you need a pan, I've got it.

Frying pans, pansexuals, panic attacks (*HEAVY BREATHING*)

If you've got a pan, I'll do it

For only 99 cents a pound!

WOW!!!

If you need a big-ass pan, you're gonna need big-ass bucks, bucko!

Panoramic pictures, pandas, I love pans!

If you got a pan friend who needs a favor, I'll do 'em one good, and you get a 50% discount if I finish first!

WHAT A DEAL!!

But wait, there's more!

For a long time I was bothered by the whole "tl;dr" concept, moreso that anyone would prepare a response having only read the tl;dr.

But y’know, especially in the last 4 years, not everyone really has the time or energy to read long posts, and I simply hope that anyone lacking that energy also lacks the energy to make half-informed responses to what they didn't read.

For anyone who still doesn't understand the LGBTQ+ spectrums, hopefully this helps.

Let's say you're a straight man, attracted to women, but not to other men. You may desire to have romantic and/or sexual relations with a woman, but not with a man. You didn't choose this, it just happened, that's what you were born with. Now picture this: a man that isn't attracted to women, that instead is attracted to men. They feel the same way about women that you do about men. Or a woman who is attracted to other women, etc. That's called homosexuality, it's the same thing just pointed in a different direction.

Now picture a woman who's attracted to both men AND women: Bisexuality! Or a man who's romantically attracted to women but not sexually: Asexual. A woman who's sexually attracted to men but not romantically: Aromantic. A man who's neither sexually or romantically attracted to anyone: AroAce.

It's all the same shit you feel just pointed in a different direction. All equally capable of love and hate, of happiness and sadness. The only thing truly different is all the bullshit we've surrounded these ideas with. Being LGBTQ+ wouldn't be so bad, and they wouldn't be putting up such a fuss, if we treated them like people. So quit fuckin bickering and worry about something that matters.

While I've had anxiety most of my life, I never quite understood being so overcome that your body won't move.

I get it now.

Missed a day anyway lol

So here's my thoughts on Murder Drones (tl:dr I loved Cyn, but overall it's not for me)

All the things I liked about it revolved around Cyn and the Absolute Solver. Like I mentioned before: love me some robots, love me some Lovecraftian horror, and we don't get enough examples of the two mixing. I like that the Solver's full form is never seen and only hinted at with silhouettes, I love the vampirism of those afflicted by its disease, I love the GLaDOS voice, its power over perception. It's a wonderfully creepy, horrifying, and unholy... thing, and I love it. Also I love that all the different VA teams across the 20 languages all had their own unique take.

Otherwise I'm not super into it, just not for me lol. I like the effort to make the robot gore as visceral as possible, but I'm not much of a gross-out gory horror kind of guy so if it'd been humans I'd be out before the end of episode 1. Also the drones were inconsistently bothered by the deaths of their kind, they all act like teenagers, it kinda looks and feels like Sonic fanfiction (the faces straight-up look like Sonic faces minus the nose).

Like the show or not though, Glitch did a fantastic job of it and they should be applauded and supported for all their effort.

I didn't miss a day

But I just had to talk about Youtube Playables.

When I was a wee lad we had sites like Newgrounds and AddictingGames, filled to the brim with fun and creative indie games. Several years later as smart phones became more commonplace, Facebook introduced its gaming tab with mobile-compatible games. They all certainly had their shit games, every site that hosts THAT many will have 10 garbage heaps for every Interactive Buddy.

Now Youtube has decided to try it, and good lord is it atrocious. There's some good stuff in there for sure, but almost every game I tried was broken, buggy, and/or mind-numbing. Here's a few I tried:

Collect Em All! - I actually like this one, though the random people's faces at different scores is really off-putting. Polysphere - Wouldn't load. Merge Master - The definition of braindead autobattler. Wood Nuts and Bolts - Slightly less braindead Bubble Shooter - Just a worse version of the classic, but with some neat additions Tiletopia - Just play Carcassonne Mechangelion - More braindead Blockdrop and Element Blocks - Literally the same Cut The Rope - Somehow less functional than the FB version Alien Shooter - I was enjoying this one despite the absurd grind, but hit a hard progression wall when a level wouldn't load, buggy as shit.

I was thinking about Muppet Christmas Carol

Then I remembered It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, and realized that's the one where Whoopi Goldberg is God, Kermit's suicidal, and we see a world where he doesn't exist wherein half of the cast is working at/frequenting a strip club and Fozzie is an alleyway mugger...

Fun for the whole family!

The Ebenezer Squeezer: When your partner starts foreplay by describing the first time they jacked you off, then starts to jack you off, and before you can finish they describe the last time they'll ever jack you off. Then you finish and learn the true meaning of Christmas and pay a kid to get a roast turkey or somthn.
