Hell yeah man, Persist.
Outlive your enemies.👍

I looked it up when I saw it, it seems like it comes from a fable with a similar moral to “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”

A camel sticks his nose under the edge of a tent for warmth, it’s owner (or a stranger w/e) allows it to out of kindness. Then the camel slowly worms it’s entire body in the tent and refuses to budge.

It’s a slippery slope parable.

In a sane society Trump should be in prison.

I’ve never heard that phrase before that’s an excellent phrase.

Hey OP, it’s me, Wetstew. You doing alright?

My favorite is (IIRC) Charlotte on the phone with Jonathan, she offhandidly tells Angelica “I love you.” and you hear Jonathan say “What?!” on the other line.

“Oh Jonathan, I was talking to Angelica, I don’t tell my employees I love them (walking out of scene) _{atleast not after Anita Hill…}”

I don’t 100% remember if it was Anita Hill, but she namedroped a sexual harassment case. On Rugrats.

(What happened to Hill wasn’t funny, but the set-up and shock of the joke was well done)

It’s a shame, seems like it would have been super easy to handwave, but they never do.

Voldemore’s soul was uniquely shattered and was apparently freshly injured to make another horcrux after murdering Harry’s family, the cruelty he showed in giving her multiple outs to abandon her son, most likely to kill her anyway.

Holy/white magic is such a cool element in a magic system, especially with how undercooked HP’s is. “This wizard was particularly fucked and unknowingly was the perfect catalyst for white magic to spontaneously manifest to correct”

Like, there was food on the table, and she has wizards shitting themselves despite the castle having bathrooms.

I haven’t said it today, so: fuck JKR for being a transphobic asshole.

My buddy got himself a cat a few years ago. (She adopted him)

I would tease him about becoming a cat person. “I will never become a ‘cat guy’, I’m not going to spoil her. She’s just a barn cat to keep the mice out”

The barn in question was the Mother-in-law house at his folks that he was staying in.

After a few months of us cat owners teasing him, I asked him point blank “have you ever slept in an uncomfortable position as to not disturb your cat?”

After a good half minute pause we got a “err, I mean yeah, I don’t want to disturb her if she’s asleep!”

He became a total cat dad until the day he moved into a dog house and left her with his folks. He still dotes on her when he comes home to visit.

Considering the deaths the average Dwarf in my last fortress suffered. I ain’t touching DF with a ten-foot pole.

A deadly dust forgotton beast broke into the fort through a forgotten cavern access. My military quickly killed it; but before they could step into the Dwarven Bath to rinse off the dust 2/3rds of my fortress was dying of a total body necrotic rot.

Boy if that isn’t my mother to a T.

18, my soon-to-be-first-girlfriend was hosting a party.

I still have a fondness for coconut rum and sprite and big naturals.

Seems like it is a protest against the dumb-ass anti-trans shit the people in power in this state are pulling.

Did anyone see the English language patch notes?

I’m a bit sleep deprived and the comment was only half on my screen.

I expected this to read “Americans are too poor/cheap to spend money on proper infrastructure, so they use (build) old wet roads instead of new dry ones.”

What was the thought process? Nightmares.

It started as a prank, but now fascists unironically use the ok sign.

It’s a dog whistle. They use something innocent to signal to others in their ingroup, and call people stupid when they call them out on it.

I hope they enjoy the extra money they make off me buying Netflix for a single month every other year, when they use to get me subscribed all the time.

Seems like a stable business decision that's absolutely not the first sign of a bubble bursting.

For a more bitter sweet memory. I love cinnamon shnappes. For some reason my brain really latched onto the time I got Dead Rising 2 for super cheap on the Xbox 360.

My deeply unpleasant ex was on an overnight trip with her friends and I was at peace. Just alone with my cat, nursing on a glass of cinnamon shnappes and sprite, eating some pizza and listening to early youtube video essays.

I was in the peak of my depression, and being around her made it worse. We loved each other and didn't want to call it quits, but it desperately needed to happen.

Sitting there alone, in that moment of peace. It reminded me that there are still simple joys in life.

Food riot/starvation/exposure/myself brought on by climate collapse.

Otherwise, odds are with my family, it'll be my heart will go out or diabetes. Can't rule out car accident though.

NiGHTS into Dreams and Billy Hatcher will always hold a special place in my heart.

It's a bummer that Sega doesn't really do cartoony mascot-y games anymore outside of Sonic.

Like they have such a huge library of visually distinct characters just rotting away, only coming out every decade or so for a kart racing game or random cameo.

God I hope so, but I have a feeling it's going to be another monster; just without the spectre of death looming over them like the rainbow after a storm.
