I struggle to imagine being as selfish as you about being around children in public. Kids can be great, they can also be not great. They're just people. If you can't be around people in public, that's a you problem, not everyone else's.

She just heard "marijuana". She chose to add the weed pony all on her own.

That thumbnail 🤦‍♀️ Not only are they joking about deportation, they're taking memento photos of themselves at the display. I wonder if they'll feel so giddy about it when it becomes real for them.

Only the one. Sorry.

Fully thought this was an Onion-esque piece about MS developing the players out of gaming at first. Found the official press release though and it seems to be an attempt to generate gameplay from nothing? That's...bizarre.

I hear Boeing is great at getting planes finished remarkably quickly...>.>

"Such a fool! He should obviously let the treacherous gas bag fleece him blind while he silently smiles and nods obsequiously. Now he's ruined his chances!"

I don't know much about the man other than bits and pieces of how he's handled this horrific invasion, but from what I've seen, he has continually shown more honor and backbone than most other politicians I'm familiar with. I don't expect things will end well for their country at this point, but I think he is a credit to himself and his people.

I'm not going to argue with you. If this genuinely helps you, cool. I will say I'm not on a "crusade". I initially watched the clip without audio and simply couldn't keep up, where I would have easily done so with more traditional subtitles.

Out of curiosity, would you want to watch a longer form video like this? It doesn't really seem to leave much opportunity to look at anything other than the flashing words.

I think platonic love between men is too often overlooked and unconsidered these days, more often dismissed for a assumed hidden erotic love instead. Attention between men shouldn't only ever be viewed sexual. That's how we get grown adults that can hardly bear to touch each other if it's not some overly aggressive handshake or other"macho" bs.

That said, these two were definitely fuckin'.

Seriously. By the time I could actually focus on the word, it was on the screen for 2 more frames before disappearing.

 

SWH is one of my favorite games/albums, but I don't know of much else like it, or even how to describe it very well - chill but pop-y, and with a dash of edm? I think it's the undercurrent of melancholy in combination with the pep that really makes it particularly appealing.

Vocals/Lyrics not strictly necessary, but appreciated!

 

Do you just not care, writing the note any which way and sticking it on however it ends up? Or do you specifically always stick it that way?

I just finished up a rewatch of Dimension 20's Neverafter (highly recommended if you haven't watched it) and as the various iconic story tellers were introduced, the question above came up in my mind.

To clarify, by fables/fairy tales I would mean widely known tales told primarily to children to pass on positive ideals and morals. Not just entertainment, but at least partially education as well. I also think it should be quite well known to count - it should at least be considered common knowledge in the region it's from. As for "modern", let's say the last 100 years or so? Though anything post-Grimm may be interesting.

Personally, I've struggled trying to think of anything particularly satisfying. Dr. Seuss feels like it's just about that iconic, though that's pretty old itself at this point. Is there anything Internet based that my out-of-touch brain is overlooking?


*Further thoughts:

Thinking on it more, other comments have helped me realize that, at least for me, the crux of the issue is that for the last 100 years or so, pretty much all stories have been commercial endeavors. Perfected drafts copywritten by companies and "protected" from the grubby hands of society. Basically the antithesis of a folk-tale, which is passed on and told and retold, shifting and morphing each time.

Thankfully, in the last few decades the internet has made less centralized media a thing again. And, though not strictly kid-friendly, I unironically am thinking that internet memes are the contemporary form of folk-tales, or at least the closest thing we've got. And I don't mean just "funny pictures", but the actual definition of meme - "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads through imitation within a culture." Perhaps that's the progenitor of the next generation of "fairy tales"?

I'm hoping to have access to a laser cutter in the near future, but due to scheduling conflicts most likely won't be able to attend any hands-on instruction on how to use it. In lieu of that, I'm in search of any online resources on the general use of laser cutters. Is there anything out there that would be useful to a complete newb like myself?

 

Ideally US focused. Currently have a pocket issue of US constitution w/ related docs and am aiming to include something else, but not sure what exactly. Currently thinking maybe works of MLK Jr? Any suggestions on what else to include?

Gotta celebrate the rare December Friday the 13th.

 

Gotta celebrate the rare December Friday the 13th.

 

While I don't hate the standard lineup of holiday music, I always appreciate variety. All I know of is "Punk Goes Christmas" and maybe a handful of singles from over the years. Anyone have anything they know of to suggest? Would prefer originals and not just covers of the classics, but that's not a hard rule or anything.

Also, if possible, bandcamp links would be appreciated. With the upcoming bandcamp friday, it'd be nice to have some good bands to support.

 

Planning to watch through Jordan Peele's movies for the spooky season and thought it'd be nice to expand that out to other movies from POC creatives. My current list includes Sorry to Bother You (another favorite of mine I've been meaning to rewatch), Bad Hair, Horror Noire, and Ganja & Hess. Any other movies that fit the theme that you would suggest? They certainly don't have to stick to African American/Black creatives, and English isn't a must, but would be preferred.
