people ridicule me for using a spear, but this is why!

none of these forced updates, i just periodically check in with an enchanter to see if there are any new runes, and once or twice per year i take it to a blacksmith for a reforging.

Sure, it’s not quite as fancy and i have to sharpen it myself, but as just demonstrated i don’t even consider swords an option.

well you see it uses BBQ to BMW the CCTV, and if that doesn’t work it falls back to PNW for sending a VCR request to the MTG

so it’s just effectively legal to send out killer robotaxis, great!

my radical hypothesis is that it just fuckin turned into a thing organically, and that not everything needs one specific reason that dates back to friday the 10th of 1702 at roughly five past noon.

sort of, almost

the UK monarch has a bit more power/freedom, like the current king has pushed for people to eat more lamb and stuff which is… a bit strange for a figurehead to do. Like it’d be less weird if he’d pushed for better healthcare or something…

I don’t think the UK monarch is bad as it stands, but i think the position could do with a bit more neutering.

Anyways the actual political system in the UK is a way bigger issue, it’s a god damn clown show on every level and it’s a minor miracle that people managed to vote for a PM that seems vaguely reasonable.

honestly it’s not just a decent amount of leeway, it’s basically free game so long as you’re not outright offensive.

There’s a gene called “sonic hedgehog”, and many other organisms with names that are specifically meant to just be funny and absurd.

Life of Pi, such an irrational kid

the way i see it it’s at worst cringey and in bad taste, but on the flip side it’s at best a huge compliment because someone liked your culture enough to name their child according to it.

And a cringey name is nothing new, there are people who name their kids “hope” or “gaius maximus”

i love the idea that disney would for some reason care about a porn star that barely anyone has ever heard about, as if search results for the name wouldn’t instantly be overwhelmed by the disney movie…

the legal issues have to like 97% of the reason for the name change

this is literally what we do in scandinavia, we have a king/queen who might technically actually have fewer rights than regular people (which can of course simply be solved by abdicating) since they can’t really do anything “political”, and they just go around doing PR.

Works pretty well IMO, of course it feels a little bit shit that they get all kinds of luxury for being born royal, but hey, it satisfies a lot of monarchists and is otherwise basically meaningless so why not.

i think we humans are just not in tune with our emotions, we’re so chronically isolated and depressed that we never learn to pick up on small vibes and how to help others deal with tough times.

Animals on the other hand have no such worries, they pick up on clues that you’re sad and do what they can to help, and over time they learn that the human always laughs and feels better when they lay on their chest and incessantly lick their face.

sounds like you’ve done got gotten

languages change gramps, get with the times.

i think fireworks are nice but they’re to a large degree something from a different age and at this point we should only really be using smaller volcano-style ones, and like holy shit we have drone technology, why aren’t drone displays standard in any vaguely populated area?

look at this shit, it’s so cool! can we please push for this to be the standard?

i’ve had the beer and wine that everyone else insists tastes great and it tasted like actual poison with zero redeeming qualities, so i’m left to conclude that those who enjoy alcohol are just suffering from stockholm syndrome and/or addiction.

at least with coffee there’s the actual coffee flavour buried underneath the fact that it’s all but burnt to coal, so i can see how someone with sufficiently desensitized tastebuds might enjoy it, and i can sort of enjoy it if i drown it in milk and chocolate.

my man i taste the beer and it makes me retch, what the fuck else do you want me to do? is my opinion invalid until i’ve pickled my tastebuds and my liver tries to escape from my mouth?

you need to eat better chocolate, normal dark chocolate tastes fine if a little bitter.
