My goal I think is to be a science clown. Balloon animals with a touch of biology, comedically “failing” at chemistry experiments, the physics of juggling. The goal has been percolating in my head for a few years, but now I’ve lost all sense of shame and feel like I could confidently fall on my ass and look like an idiot to entertain and educate.
100% serious. I spent like 10 minutes entertaining a two year old by failing to juggle earlier today and that was the most joy I’ve felt since November.
Just not looking for the low effort, Reddit-tier jokes. Wanting actual advice or at least funny jokes.
Just interesting that for all the hysteria about trans women going into women’s restrooms to rape, she’s remarkably nonchalant about women raping men. (UK law defines rape in such a way that cis women can’t really commit it anyway.)
“I swear to god” - for emphasis because it’s such an obnoxious thing.
If I could afford a phalloplasty, I’d go for 5” and be delighted with it.
The Harry Potter series is so weird about this.
It’s like a joke that a girl essentially tries to roofie Harry and gets Ron instead. Voldemorts mom drugs a muggle into loving her.
Honest to god, 4-7 inches is indistinguishable. Everyone’s dick is fine. The vagina only has nerve endings down like 2-3”. It’s only really gay men who are size queens, because it’s different for anal. I’ve had good sex with guys with 3”, I’ve had terrible sex with guys with 8”. The size had zero to do with the quality of the sex, it was more about respect/kink/other shit.
Taking 9”+ hurts. Some people are masochists and like that, but istg dick complexes are ridiculous.
Isn’t it funny how Dems chased out Al Franken for that shitty photo, but Republicans rally behind their own sex pests?
I get double pay for the holiday, yay!
It’s always been characterized as a police action against “criminals.”
In the US, we declared war against Native Americans, so it’s more obviously a genocide. Murders of aboriginal Australians have always been constructed as police actions.
In the US, it’s really that you are taking a pay cut during the year to get paid during the summer.
I’ve never had a real “summer break.” Always either second job, professional development, or school.
Anyone in Oklahoma want to go geocaching lol
I had a wonderful combination of “strict” but also “there aren’t actually rules.”
I could have handled even unreasonable expectations if they had been communicated. But there was no structure at all.
I could ask permission to do something, do it, and then have that permission retroactively revoked. I could have an entirely normal day without anything seeming off, then be grounded for a week because there were dishes in the sink or something.
It never made any sense.
I’ve given up entirely on relationships at this point. Anyone who is willing to date a trans guy is “poly” and I am absolutely done with that shit.
Hookups suck but it’s a distraction from how shit the world is.
That’s literally what they call trans men. That is the argument. We are all supposedly autistic, which means that we can’t be trusted to make decisions over our own bodies. That is constantly used to infantilize us, and will eventually be used to take away our ability to access transition.
or even water
We never stopped the “lol treaties with Native American tribes don’t count” bullshit.
One of my favorite aspects is the way the ludonarrative/gameplay ties with the story.
The enemies start showing up in unrealistic numbers, one of your dead squad mates shows up as some kind of mutated monster - it feels like the classic escalation in difficulty because you are playing a video game. But this is happening because your character is delusional and perceives it that way.
I’ve always wanted to teach a high school/community college elective where we read Heart of Darkness, watched Apocalypse Now and played Spec Ops - to see how the same narratives in themes are used in entirely different settings and with different methods of storytelling, but how ultimately they all reach towards the same message about humanity and war and cruelty.
The older Call of Duty’s (maybe the newer ones, haven’t played since Black Ops one) often had messages/quotes that were pretty anti war when you died, but were ultimately sabotaged by the story. Spec Ops is probably the best game at understanding how to use the FPS mechanics as part of its storytelling.
Price is a really wacky guy, and even he will admit he’s very much on the fringe. I would suggest Dan McClellan or Bart Ehrman over him.
