if you pay 500 people, odds are, one of them will show up

[lime sand]

But how long?

[hallow isle]

Says weeks

[lime sand]

Ooh. Maybe they will be used for multiple years?

[spiral zephyr]

NFL is like basic macaroni salad.
Macaroni salad is just an excuse to eat mayonnaise.
NFL is just an excuse to watch commercials.

[slender quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/antman-what-the-hell-happened-here-avengers-gif-18240147

[hallow isle]

so I'm guessing more than two weeks, less than (52 - weeks in the NFL year)

[lime sand]

Specifically the Super bowl

If you want mayonnaise, devilled eggs

[hallow isle]

It just sounds like amazon wanted to say they made the NFL schedule tbh

[lime sand]

Yeah.

They have money to waste anyway

[spiral zephyr]

This was cited as average in a WSJ article

Nerd talk

[ivory yew]

I have to be completely honest... I saw this upon entering the chat and I thought some stupid political shit was going down but then I scrolled up and it's all about MILK??? 🤣😅

[slender quartz]

Apparently. LOL

[hallow isle]

https://tenor.com/view/จัดให้-gif-26170143

[lime sand]

Oh I believe it. But the super bowl is when the commercials are worth watching

[spiral zephyr]

[lime sand]

Otherwise, it's avoided throughout the year by me

[slender quartz]

Wood milk. LOL

[spiral zephyr]

Yeah, same
I don't even have normal tv anymore lol

[slender quartz]

I do for local weather. Otherwise, no.

[spiral zephyr]

I have the NWS and windy bookmarked, because surfing lol

[slender quartz]

I leave the TV on low in the background during times like last night.

[lime sand]

Naaah, I have a weather rock for my weather related needs

[slender quartz]

I've had enough close calls with tornadoes; I'm not ignoring watches and warnings.

[lime sand]

See, if you had a weather rock. You know if there is a tornado

[spiral zephyr]

Im over here choosing the most optimistic model on windy when hurricanes are coming
😅

"Oh yes, you will veer north tomorrow..."

[slender quartz]

Indian Weather rock. Yeah, they sell those here.

[lime sand]

they sell those?????

Wth

Bruh, just pick up a rock

[slender quartz]

Within the past 48 hours, Nebraska had over thirty tornadoes.

[slender quartz]

They sell those as pictured, only as "Indian Weather Rock".

[spiral zephyr]

We're in a little calm spot right now

https://www.windy.com/?23.241,-160.351,5,i:pressure

[lime sand]

Wasn't there a tornado that touched down in the mountains ?

[lime sand]

Need 30 weather rocks

[slender quartz]

But we were slated to get some here last night. Luckily for us, they stayed south of us.

[lime sand]

That's good

[hallow isle]

i didn't want to watch eurovision but i can hear eurovision 😠

[ivory yew]

I remember back in Wyoming, I watched a tornado touch down and then go back into the clouds from my porch 😅 it was a good mile away or so and stayed on the ground for like... A minute?

[lime sand]

Which song. Some songs are better than others

[hallow isle]

I assume one of my neighbours is watching it live

loudly

[slender quartz]

About ten years or so ago one touched down a mile away, traveled towards us, got to the end of our driveway...then went back up.

[hallow isle]

rejected

[ivory yew]

YIKES 😬

[slender quartz]

A couple of years later, we were driving home from dinner, and as we turned onto our road, the car was grabbed, shook, then let go. We found out the next morning that the tornado crossed the highway there, moved west a bit, and rotated a garage off the foundation.

[lime sand]

But is it good

If it is that Edgar song yeah I understand

[lime sand]

That. Is. Terrifying

[spiral zephyr]

I've seen a couple of waterspouts come into the bay
Nothing huge like some tornadoes though

[ivory yew]

Holy shit! Did you put all your perk points towards luck or something? /J glad you made it out ok

[slender quartz]

More so after the fact.

[slender quartz]

Thanks. Family curse.

[lime sand]

If that is luck.... I'm scared what bad luck is

[slender quartz]

I have terrible luck, but I always survive. Make of that what you will.

What's that?

[waxen compass]

A funny meme

Well it was supposed to be

Isn't that a video file?

[waxen compass]

It is

It’s a funny video

[cursive agate]

@lime sand

[lime sand]

I don't get it?

No sound

[slender quartz]

The alien grabs his ass.

[waxen compass]

I don’t get it either

[cursive agate]

@lime sand Special ending in Halo CE

[slender quartz]

World's ending, two enemies hug as it comes, and at the last second the alien grabs the human's ass. Hilarity ensues.

[cursive agate]

Basically yes. You'll see it if you finish it in legendary. You can jump ontop of the pelican to get another. End results are still the same.

[lime sand]

This is about as confusing as the humor found in a picture with a horse on a balcony

[hallow isle]

memes in general ? 😮

[lime sand]

This is off topic

[slender quartz]

You have to think about it. The horse isn't funny, but the fact that it somehow got there, and thus must get down, is humorous.

[lime sand]

I mean... There were doors up there

it doesn't take that much imagining

[cursive agate]

Did he have to horse around to open said door?

[slender quartz]

I understand the joke; I didn't say I found it really funny.

[lime sand]

Probably? They can open doors

[slender quartz]

Then again, I understand the three-legged cow joke.

[lime sand]

Hehe. Lean beef

[slender quartz]

The other one.

[lime sand]

The singular word memes are just... Confusing

[lime sand]

I only know the good one

[slender quartz]

The other one is good. Just impossible to explain to someone who doesn't get it.

[hallow isle]

Singular Meme?

[lime sand]

ooooooh

If you are an avid meat eater, you get it

Rare New Vegas Gif

[slender quartz]

A city guy is invited to his cousin's house out in the country. It's a nice day, so he walks instead of driving. As he passes a small farm , he sees a three-legged cow in the front yard. He stops and stares.
A farmer comes around the house, and says "Can I help you?"
The city guy asks, "What's up with the three-legged cow?"
The farmer smiles happily. "That's a special cow! She can read, write, watches my kids, even drives my tractor when I'm sick! She's a great cow!"
The guy says, "So why does she only have three legs?"
The farmer answers, "Are you kidding? You don't eat a cow like that all at once!"

[cursive agate]

Now it uploads

[lime sand]

Oh...

[slender quartz]

My ex didn't get the joke. I wish I'd told it to her before we were married, would've saved me a lot of grief.

[lime sand]

Was she from the city?

[slender quartz]

Actually, yes. LOL

Doesn't change whether or not she got the joke, though.

[lime sand]

It does a little

[slender quartz]

I've known farmers who didn't get it, and doctors who did.

[lime sand]

You need to pass an intelligence check

[slender quartz]

A friend of mine used to call it that.

Anyways, gotta go. Later.

Oooh, stage performance. Ewwww

Nailed it

Not available in the US 😦

Some Bullshit

[hallow isle]

Maybe it was better this evening but in that video she's singing completely monotonally and is off time

[lime sand]

The studio ver. Is decent

[hallow isle]

Autotune

[lime sand]

But yeah, stage versions are hit or miss.

[hallow isle]

Mixing engineer can fix many sins

[lime sand]

Especially lack of talent

[hallow isle]

Let's break some copyright

[lime sand]

Even going a half step up in a song, can put you out of your practiced vocal range

[opaque tartan]

We done proper shit

[hallow isle]

Always do

But at least they normally put someone in that can sing better than me

[cursive agate]

https://youtube.com/shorts/MtTzQVdt1Ok?feature=share

[lime sand]

Why is she going from singing to speaking, in the middle of verses????

Like, I get some are whispery... But still

That is just.... She needs help

[lime sand]

This ain't it

No bueno

[hallow isle]

Did she sing something else?

[lime sand]

No...

It's just not good

[hallow isle]

ah

yes

it's bad

[lime sand]

(the gif didn't reply to the video)

She needed water and a better vocal warm up

Like, whispery vocals to supported vocals isn't that hard. With proper prep

But she drops it entirely to try and avoid breaking?

I wish America could do something similar to Eurovision. But no..

[jaunty copper]

They tried, it was awful

Hosted by Kelly clarkson and snoop dog

[lime sand]

I can imagine. Every artist here pretty much uses Auto tune

Trying to get them to sing without help on stage? Hang it

Let me know what you pick. I'm half tempted to get a Samsung one but I'm not sure. @sand mantle

[dry bison]

Was this before or after you learned ASUS buys positive reviews?

[spiral zephyr]

I bought an Acer pretty similar to that, but flat.
Was about 270 on sale.

[pure sapphire]

Nighttime wasp attacks are exactly why everyone should sleep fully clothed you never know when you'll be accosted whilst unconscious

[spiral zephyr]

Fyi wasps may remember your face.

[pure sapphire]

Well if it returns I will not show mercy again

It will be put in the microwave

I set it free to go away and be a nuisance elsewhere since wasps don't contribute to society even after it stung me twice while I was asleep

[spiral zephyr]

I co-exist with the creepy crawlies, for the most part
Cockroaches are an exception

[pure sapphire]

If it comes back for more, it's days are over

I'm fine with any insects or arachnids

I like most of em

[spiral zephyr]

We get an occasional huntsman spider in the house
That'll wake you up

[pure sapphire]

I watch wasps build their nests, I've shared pizza with the smaller black and yellow guys that aren't yellow jackets, they're nice when they aren't invading my space and then getting mad at me because they've realized they're in my space

But if this one that stung me returns despite my mercy it will die because I only have so much to go around and my hand still hurts

[cursive agate]

@dry bison Never even knew that. But the monitor works well. Some lightbleed but it's only really noticeable with HDR on. Which I hate HDR nades things too bright.

[lime sand]

It better pay rent

I actually need some good laptop recommendations. Maybe a travelling monitor as well

[eternal thorn]

had to make sure I was in the right server

didn't expect to see Herta here

[sterile tartan]

20 pages in and this really doesn't feel like it's gonna be any good lol

[cold patio]

Hello everyone

[sterile tartan]

Hi

[cold patio]

@sterile tartan !!! What's up

I'm just feeling more friendly than usual

Don't worry

[cold patio]

This. Is a sandvich

[sterile tartan]

Not much! Just reading this book and wishing I could pay @silent wagon 's dad back for it in particular lmao

Doesn't feel worth the money it cost is all
We'll see if it gets better

How are you?

[cold patio]

Well i'm fine, just here wondering what i'm gonna do today (apart from reading books, playing the piano and playing NMS ofc)

I'm trying to read Charlie and the Great Escalator of Glass

It's the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[cold patio]

How much did it cost ?

[sterile tartan]

Ohhhh awesome!

[sterile tartan]

It was $17 in USD

[cold patio]

That makes 15.54 €

It's... expensive enough, books in France costs like... between 6 and 30 euros ?

That makes between 6.50 and 32.8 dollars

30 euros are for Big Books, like Lord of the Rings

[sterile tartan]

That's about normal here as well
I'm not sure the criteria they use to price them. But some writing just feels like it should be worth less lol

[cold patio]

Understandable, just like Lord of The Rings

Bro passes the most of his journey trying to walk to mountain

Literally 900 pages describing howthe walk was like

[sterile tartan]

Lmao, yeah

[cold patio]

There isn't worse

I read the first page, i laid the book down... not interesting... fantasy isn't my favorite genre, for a very long time

There are some exceptions like Harry Potter or Wings of Fire, but thats pretty much it

I've finished Harry Potter though, very nice saga to be honest. I skipped half of the Seventh book though, i wasn't interested by the search and destroy of the Horcruxes

[sterile tartan]

Lol. That's fair

[cold patio]

And your book, what's it about ?

[sterile tartan]

I've always loved fantasy, but the type of fantasy that LotR is? That's not my thing
It's uh

I'm bad at describing so here's the blurb on the back

His pupils had become so large, the whites of his eyes were gone.
What

[cold patio]

It's Twilight but with birds 🤣

[sterile tartan]

More or less lmao

[cold patio]

Very cliché though, vampires and girls

[sterile tartan]

Yeah

[cold patio]

Always together, since Dracula by Bram Stoker... it's not creative anymore

[sterile tartan]

It starts out talking about shoes that make humans dance themselves to death

[cold patio]

What the hell ???

😳

[sterile tartan]

And she can resist their power apparently
Probably cuz she isn't human lmao

[cold patio]

Well that's a bad start

[sterile tartan]

Yep

[cold patio]

Even the names of the characters are bad tbh

[sterile tartan]

Wtf
And suddenly she unzipped her bag and sugar gliders climbed out of it?
Where did they come from
Why are they in her bag
Why didn't it mention them until the end of chapter 3
Why weren't they fussing for the entirety of the book so far

[cold patio]

I wouldn't read that, but it's your choice

[cold patio]

Sugar... gliders... what the hell
...

[sterile tartan]

Well. The girl's name is a Thai name
I dunno why she has the nickname Punch tho

https://tenor.com/view/squirrel-blanket-pokemon-leap-jump-jumping-gif-19203529

[cold patio]

It's yours ?

[sterile tartan]

No

[cold patio]

I doubted, but ok

[sterile tartan]

I don't think it's legal to own a sugar glider where I live. They're cute though

[cold patio]

Legal... laws are weird in the Usa...

[sterile tartan]

Oh they are legal here. Makes sense since I'm in the same state the book takes place in

[cold patio]

Maybe consider living in the Europian Union, you know

[cold patio]

What state ?

[sterile tartan]

Washington

[cold patio]

It's midnight there

You shouldn't be here (i'm not your dad though, it's your choice

[sterile tartan]

My sleep schedule is a mess and I woke up at 16:30
Bwahahahah

[cold patio]

16.30 Seattle time ?

Cause i sleep in France everyday at 22h, 23h the latest

[sterile tartan]

Yeah Seattle time

So like eight hours ago

[cold patio]

Well it's ok then

Cause some jobs require people to work in the night

So they sleep in the day

[sterile tartan]

Yeah true

[cold patio]

So anyways, it's your choice

That's weird... there are some wild plants who grew in my Terrarium... guess that's normal

[sterile tartan]

Interesting

[cold patio]

I have two ferns and moss inside

The tree branch is a decoration

I water it twice a week

What the !

My parents bought strawberries... i like them but i can't eat them... i'm allergic 😢

[sterile tartan]

[sterile tartan]

She was like a bird, lovely when perched. But the truth of her beauty came out when she was in motion, and it stole one's breath away. If one had any need to breathe, which he did not.

[still tartan]

CACAW CACAW

Is homie dead or? why they aint gotta breathe?

[sterile tartan]

I get that she's a mythological bird .... Person
But the thing that bothers me is how often it mentions his lack of needing to breathe

He's a vampire

[still tartan]

lmaooo

surely there’s other fascinating vampire trivia to reference

[sterile tartan]

Here's a pic of the back of the book for reference

They're currently talking about her as if she were steroids or something lmao

[still tartan]

Fascinating

i feel like vampire implies dark and brooding at this point

Which is unfortunate because I’d love a cheery vampire bestie character

[sterile tartan]

Male Navi

Fascinating. She has giant white wings out, and is dancing on air. Not a terrible image I suppose. But the shoes are cursed so probably not good

[still tartan]

that book is wild

[sterile tartan]

She was so beautiful she would have stolen his breath away if he'd been breathing at all.
Oh my god we get it

[still tartan]

bro please

I wonder how many times not-breath-stealing is mentioned

[sterile tartan]

Good question... I should hunt down all the pages with it so far and mark them somehow
For now though. I shower. Be back soon

[sterile tartan]

I apparently don't have the sticky tab things but I can cut post-it notes into strips lol

I'm ignoring the initial realization she has that they aren't breathing

Unnecessary observation that he isn't breathing counts I think

[cold patio]

It's everywhere, you'll get used to that

[sterile tartan]

Alright there's only three so far

[cold patio]

Three what ?

[sterile tartan]

Three instances where his not needing to breathe is mentioned for no reason

[cold patio]

Right

Let's say that some writing isn't necessary, authors tend to overdescribe some scenes

[sterile tartan]

Yeahhh

[still tartan]

It’s really an issue of redundancy. Like sometimes you do need to repeat an idea that was brought up way earlier in the story, but often it comes across as the author thinking you’ll forget details unless they’re constantly thrown at you lol

and also having ‘your breath stolen’ is a specific romance trope(?) line, that I think should be used more sparingly than that

idk I’ve only had my breath stolen by acid reflux so maybe I just need to see a hot bird lady to get it

[sterile tartan]

I agree. Honestly should be reserved for specific major situations
Like weddings
Or coming out of a near death situation to see your True Love™️ alive and well

Oh also her wings attach at the hip

[still tartan]

Yeah! Like the love at first sight might work but then the first meeting needs to stand out. Not really a fan of that trope either tbh

Oh interesting. I remember that was a neat detail in The Dragon Prince

I’m all for fascinating new ways to implement wings lmao

[sterile tartan]

but there had been enough unexpected effects for him not to be wary
Author tried to say two things at once and ended up contradicting herself

[cold patio]

Well, looks like you can remove the "Bestseller Author" label

[sterile tartan]

It doesn't have to be good to sell well, unfortunately

[cold patio]

Got a point there actually

[cold patio]

It's like Starbucks writing your name wrong on purpose : it's to get attention. For the books, people buy them to see what crap that guy's been writing

[sterile tartan]

Hehe the vampire's boss is a dragon

[cold patio]

Bruh... he fusionned Wings of Fire and Twilight 🤣

[sterile tartan]

His giant manor house is named after his human lover from ages ago bahaha

I bet it's supposed to be sad but it isn't

[cold patio]

Normal : who does that

[still tartan]

sorry can’t be sad for someone with a mansion tbh

eat the rich

[sterile tartan]

He also dropped her into Puget Sound a bit ago
Awfully rude tbh, dropping people in the ocean

Fear was becoming barely even a thing in his presence
Little weird with the wording but probably how I talk tbh

[cold patio]

Let's say modern books can be very strange, mostly romance ones... too complicated

[sterile tartan]

Can be, yeah

[cold patio]

And what if you're rich ?

[night blade]

Nothing happened. It’s my heart that is a bit crushed. It’s ok though. In a logical way of thinking, i knew but the heart is thinking otherwise and that’s what makes the things difficult.

Brain thinks and knows, the heart feels

[sterile tartan]

Oh good. He just made sure to describe how he can tell what her emotional state 👀 is

[still tartan]

Then get eaten

[cold patio]

Looks like you wasted 17 dollers

[still tartan]

wow rood af

[sterile tartan]

Lmao no kidding

[cold patio]

I'm not

[sterile tartan]

Supposedly it's to inform her that less safe supernatural people could tell if they were around
Which also isn't necessary

[sterile tartan]

I know, it's meant as an agreement with a sarcastic sort of tone

[still tartan]

^ “no kidding” is a turn of phrase

[cold patio]

Oh ok

Understandable (didn't get it at the first place though)

[still tartan]

ahh I’m behind on reading my books. Just need to get through the next few weeks before I can really concentrate, I just get way too tired so when I can finally read I fall right asleep

[cold patio]

Same

Plus i can't sleep when it's over 22h30

I take longer to sleep

Normally it's 5 to 10 minutes, it can go up to 15 to 20 minutes

Anyways, i'll wait for the next part of the book. Keep me on Spirit

[sterile tartan]

They're talking to the dragon. She's super kind

[cold patio]

Oh ok

[sterile tartan]

Apparently the trick to getting the cursed shoes off is to admit all your faults out loud

[night bobcat]

I don't have that kind of time

[sterile tartan]

The curse wants perfect honesty
Which I'm learning why that could be a problem

[still tartan]

Dear lord

[night bobcat]

I'd be wearing those forever

[still tartan]

for realll

i’d be saying shit like “I can’t just have one slice of cake”

and it’d be waiting for the really deep character flaws for all eternity

what’s the shoes curse? are they ugly?

[sterile tartan]

They're gorgeous
And they compel you to dance to death
Which is a story I have heard of before

[still tartan]

oh fun

[night bobcat]

What kind of dancing

Don't say tap

[still tartan]

I could use the exercise tbh

[sterile tartan]

Any dancing

[night bobcat]

Oh ok

[still tartan]

THE WORM

aggressively breakdancing to the death

[sterile tartan]

Whatever the dance is, it's the last thing you do

Oh there's the TRUE catch

You have to make peace with your truth

[still tartan]

Dude I would be so immeasurably screwed

[night bobcat]

[still tartan]

like just do the macarena and call it a day bc no thanks

[cold patio]

Well, looks like i have to reveal my search history

Which i deleted

[sterile tartan]

Welp

[cold patio]

😈😈😈

[sterile tartan]

I think it's more asking for major flaws like vanity or greed

[cold patio]

Oh ol

*ok

[sterile tartan]

I'm done with that for tonight
S0ul is going to bed and I'm gonna also be in bed but not sleep

Aww! This is disheartening news but I'm happy you've taken it like a champ. I'm sure there's someone out there who will reciprocate in the same, or even better way than yours.

Good afternoon

[cursive agate]

@sleek coral ahhhh zombie Noises (just woke up). Did you sleep OK?

[sleek coral]

Hehe. greetings in Zombie, yes I had a good sleep. Good morning 😃

[hard vine]

Good u had a good sleep

[night blade]

Thanks for your support

But actually it’s for the better

[cursive agate]

@hard vine a cat in heat is always a pain. Thankfully once I get to sleep I'm a deep sleeper. I only wake up if someone get near me like walks into my room

[sleek coral]

Mhmm! DMs 🙂

[night blade]

Okay okay

[dry bison]

DMs are the worst flavor of M&M

[cursive agate]

Or explosions... Fell out of bed & went into survival mode. Turned out a building was being demod. I live arojnd chemical plants so explosions are always a oh crap moment lol

friendzoned?

quoted wrong person

@night blade

I'm in a smiliar situation though

I have romantic feelings for a girl, but she doesn't reciprocate

I'm back on using dating apps even hahaha

[night blade]

Actually the friendzone does not exists for me

[teal raptor]

fair enough 🙂

God, those dogs are so ugly

[cursive agate]

You still date over here the old way lol. The women usually drops hints or makes it obvious. One lady said her cargo pants were better then turned around to show me lol.

[teal raptor]

yeah well, I live in a small city in Belgium, so dating apps are kinda redundant

I mean, there are plenty of women who use it, but it's not like living in New York or smth where you have thousands of potential choices

[cursive agate]

Over here you get tons of fake women trying to have you visit a cam site

[teal raptor]

most people here meet either through friends, parties, pubs, or other social gatherings

[night blade]

I’ll try to have a close friendship with her

[teal raptor]

yeah, same here

we got into an argument last week, I was pushing her, I didn't realize it

but we're patching things up

[night blade]

Nice

[teal raptor]

I'm still head over heels with her though

[night blade]

I understand what it feels

[teal raptor]

she has had a troubled past

and misfortune with boyfriends

so she's hard to communicate with

I'm trying to "loosen" her up a bit 🙂

[night blade]

Yup

[teal raptor]

I would give my life for her

I'm an idiot

hahaha

[night blade]

That’s really sappy

[teal raptor]

humans are such complex creatures

I love it

anyone here good with Photoshop?

how do I enlarge the highlighted image?

nm got it

Free Transform, but I swear I did it diff in the past

[spiral zephyr]

for resizing, vector images (svg) are what you want to use, in my understanding
That will avoid the degradation as you re-scale

So Illustrator for Adobe, or Inkscape for something free

[pure sapphire]

Snarfed 8 oreos in as many seconds, I think perhaps I have a problem

I feel horrifically ill but I want to eat another sleeve

If it makes you feel better, my breakfast was leftover blueberry dump cake 😭

Try one. Only has three ingredients.

[hallow isle]

you should try it, immersion therapy

[hallow isle]

Hi

[still tartan]

I’ll have that but bagel on the side pls

[slender quartz]

Sort of ruins the flavor combo.

[pure sapphire]

I'll stick with the Drac Special Bagels, thanks. Toasted everything bagel that's been flattened with plain cream cheese and a slice of salami

It's yours but better

[inland grotto]

That sounds good!

[slender quartz]

Um, no.

[pure sapphire]

Bagel, cheese, meat... yup

[slender quartz]

Yes, but not better. I've had close to yours.

[pure sapphire]

Mine is also cooler because it has a bunch of seeds, which means birds will want to share with you

[inland grotto]

My daekjuk is pretty comforting, with a little hint of white pepper.

[pure sapphire]

Mine is 200x better

Birds, salami

There is nothing better

[slender quartz]

You've never had summer sausage, have you?

[pure sapphire]

Everything else adds to the birds and salami experience

I don't like sausage

Ironic, I know

[still tartan]

That’s the idea.

[slender quartz]

Salami technically is a sausage. And summer sausage is like salami, only less spicy, more flavor.

[pure sapphire]

But I like salami not less spicy more flavor

Salami is perfect

I will eat salami now

[still tartan]

live your best life gurl

[slender quartz]

You'd think a worm wouldn't be encouraging a bird-man. LOL

[pure sapphire]

The lab is trying to steal my salami

https://tenor.com/view/get-back-tribe-gif-26478338

Look if the birdman eats salami and gummy worms we can both mind our business

This dogs breath is horrific

Pls ma'am stop breathing on me you need a icebreaker or sth asap

[slender quartz]

I should post more things I've created so people can shit on them.

[pure sapphire]

Ok so the combo of 1/2 sleeve of oreos and 5 pieces of salami is surprisingly not mixing well in my stomach

Who could have predicted this

Maybe I just need more stuff in there

Aha, slice of provolone did the trick

[hallow isle]

Something interesting, is that every country has its own default cheese

If you just specify 'cheese' in any country, it's always going to be the same thing

Cheddar, in the UK

[cursive agate]

Rye or pumpernickel bread w hard salami pepper jack cheese & option mayo not too much. I like pickles also in place of mayo.

I don't have any lettuce or spinach sadly

[ruby bay]

Do y'all drink tap water?

[still tartan]

I drink swamp soup

[hallow isle]

As opposed to?

[ruby bay]

I mean I've heard that Americans don't drink tap water or use filters installed in sink taps to drink it

[hallow isle]

I see

[still tartan]

Depends on the person, plenty of Americans drink tap water or use installed filters or both.

[slender quartz]

I drink tap water.

[spiral zephyr]

Our tap water comes from artesian wells.
🚰

[spiral zephyr]

Look up "water Flint Michigan"

Seems pretty reasonable to not drink that stuff.
😬

[jaunty copper]

"americans" is ~350 milliion people so it's a pretty broad categorization

[potent adder]

Yeah, Flint, MI is like 0.02% of the US population

[spiral zephyr]

I'm in the US ftr, I wasn't using that as a broad example.
Just the opposite

[eternal thorn]

Why would I tap water

To see the ripple?

Pickup sticks

pickup trucks do be weird tho

has there ever been a confirmed case of a pickup truck picking anything up?

[limber fractal]

That's hilarious

[spiral zephyr]

For the record, I drive a pickup and drink tap water.

[limber fractal]

The assumption about pickup trucks is the funniest tho

More so than the one about tap water which I do in fact avoid drinking cuz of flavor. I prefer reverse osmosis water

[still tartan]

Honestly I like my water with ice and that’s about my only preference. Oh, and no surprise chemicals ofc

[spiral zephyr]

To be fair I hate some pickups
But others love the same ones lol

[cursive agate]

@limber fractal That Pikachu emoji made my lose some water I was drinking 😄

[still tartan]

Was it tap water

[spiral zephyr]

We have a local company that does r/o using our municipal water, which is already high quality
Nice product

[limber fractal]

[limber fractal]

It's my favorite emojo of all time

[still tartan]

Pickups are good vehicles. Different purposes for different lifestyles and so on. True that a lot of pickup drivers in my area are hyperaggressive maniacs but maybe they’re just late to bingo club.

[spiral zephyr]

Lots of people in other countries don't realize how diverse it can be here.
For example driving out of Portland, OR is night and day.
The city is very liberal, but once you leave city limits it's confederate flags and gun racks.
😅

[limber fractal]

Nice! Reverse osmosis is like real water to me. I can't say it's the healthiest as some minerals in your water is best, for proper nourishment. The only bottled water I can say matches reverse osmosis level flavor while also having a proper balance of minerals or electrolytes is Smart brand water. And for sparkling water, Perrier in glass water is my other choice. I'm a water snob and not by choice

[limber fractal]

This is a nice looking truck ngl. Love the color. I'd totally get and drive this in GTA

[still tartan]

I’ve almost been rear ended around my own city like a dozen times by now. Closest was turning into a grocery store and someone damn near collided with the back of my car, probably an inch off. People just mostly drive like selfish assholes here I guess (some of it’s due to honest mistakes but it feels personal sometimes). People are way too used to going 15 over the speed limit and there’s a big difference between a 20 mph accident and a 35 mph accident

and thats my daily rant thanks subscribe for more

[spiral zephyr]

Here it's people not paying attention, driving too slow, yielding when they have right of way...
Then you have tourists who are relying on gps, looking at rainbows, or driving on what's the opposite side of the road for them.
Need patience here...
🤦‍♂️

[still tartan]

Oh yeah. Lots of jaywalkers who don’t even look first?? like is the 20 seconds you saved by cutting across worth dying over?

[cursive agate]

Trying to find the original of the Pikachu lol

[pure sapphire]

Anyone who says water doesn't have a taste or it all tastes the same is lying to themselves to ignore the flavor of 400ppm metallic city tap

[maiden seal]

I’m so glad these trucks are finally banned where I live

no more squatting

[pure sapphire]

It even tastes different fountain to fountain/building to building on my campus

Bottled water brands taste different too

[limber fractal]

Reminds me a bit of south Florida including Miami. Elderly retired folks, lots of foreigners from all over the world with all sorts of inexplicable habits and knowledge about traffic laws or what we'd assume should be common sense. You end up having to learn how to balance driving offensively and defensively at the same time. Not a great recipe for driving on super fast highways tbh. And nowadays it must be so much worse with the state of gun laws

Yo... I miss eating pickles straight out of the jar

Mmmm

[slender quartz]

I can't eat pickles.

[ocean pebble]

I've gotten it free once or twice.

[slender quartz]

I know it's psychological, but I just can't bring myself to eat pickles by themselves.

[lime sand]

Not allergy? Because I also have pitted olives next to me too

[slender quartz]

My older siblings held me down and force-fed me slugs once.

Haven't eaten a pickle since.

[pure sapphire]

What do slugs have to do with pickles?

I'll admit I've eaten neither, is it texture?

[slender quartz]

Bingo.

[lime sand]

Damn older siblings

[pure sapphire]

That sucks if you like pickles

I don't like pickles

[lime sand]

I like pickles.

Will gladly trade my tomatoes for pickles

[pure sapphire]

Don't be force fed slugs then

[slender quartz]

I'm okay with relish mixed in.

[lime sand]

But... These olives are next

[pure sapphire]

Oh i guess I've eaten pickles because they're in deviled eggs

And I like those

[lime sand]

I'm not a big fan of cucumbers... The only way I would eat them is in pickle form

[pure sapphire]

I don't appreciate cucumbers or zucchini

Cukes or zukes

Pukes

[ocean pebble]

Why does everyone else have such horrible experiences with their siblings

Me and my older brother had our moments, sure, but we never did anything to each other that could be considered actual bullying

[pure sapphire]

Because siblings are supposed to be evil

[ocean pebble]

My older brother is based

[slender quartz]

My two closest siblings were a sociopath and a psychopath.

[ocean pebble]

That would uh

Explain it

[pure sapphire]

Mine is too, but he started evil

[still tartan]

I don’t. Fuckin heartbreaking that family can be so awful to one another

[lime sand]

I was mostly by myself. Only had 3 older sisters.

They wanted me, until I became a headache to deal with when younger.... And I didn't exactly act normal

[hallow isle]

The day is young, go give him a swirly

[ocean pebble]

It's just me and my brother, but he moved out bout three years ago.

I still visit him pretty often though and we talk often

[pure sapphire]

He experienced character growth and is now cool but my older brother used to bully all of us relentlessly.

[lime sand]

I'm the only one of my siblings that has a real shot of independence away from my other family

[slender quartz]

My siblings hated me at birth. I ruined their Halloween by arriving.

[ocean pebble]

We get along really well nowadays, better than we used to. Mostly due to me, I used to be a little shit.

[pure sapphire]

And i bullied my younger siblings, and so on down 6 kids

[lime sand]

Sounds like... They chose the wrong answer for trick or treat

[ocean pebble]

Now i'm a big slightly-less-shit

[lime sand]

I just stayed to myself most of the time

[ocean pebble]

Of course, as me and my brother have gotten older the three-year age difference between us has mattered less and less.

I'm 17 and he is 20.

Although admittedly I only turned 17 today, lol

[humble marsh]

Oh shit, really?

Happy birthday!

[ocean pebble]

Yes lol, it's my birthday

Thanks

[pure sapphire]

Hard to stay to yourself with 6 siblings in a small house lol, there was plenty of stepping on toes because of the shared space so that was probably part of the reason for bullying aside from the usual "older siblings picking on younger ones for fun by telling em stupid shit"

Usually didn't get physical because if we did we had worse coming 😂

[ocean pebble]

I am glad that it was just me and my brother and that we lived in a house large enough for us to have separate rooms

[pure sapphire]

Nah, it was all psychological by making our parents force whichever sibling to share a treasured possession for revenge after whatever went down

[sterile tartan]

[pure sapphire]

"Mom said you had to let me borrow your favorite book" brings it back two months later dog eared to death with the front cover ripped off

"Thanks!"

[sterile tartan]

I was fortunate enough that my younger siblings respect books as much as I do

[lime sand]

I can imagine. There were four of us. And sometimes, if we didn't have space. I'd sleep in the living room or floor. In fact... Thinking about it. Ages 9-14(ish) I don't really remember having a proper room.

[slender quartz]

By the time I was ten, my older siblings had tried to drown me, strangle me, set me on fire, and shot me in the leg. Fun times.

[lime sand]

Abuse comes in many forms

I'm just now coming to terms, most of my childhood didn't even have a dedicated space I called my own... Imma have to go think about that

[ocean pebble]

Shot you in the leg? With what?

[slender quartz]

.22 pistol. He wanted to see if my cast would stop it.

[ocean pebble]

How old was he at the time?

[slender quartz]

Thirteen.

Anyways...How about that local sportsball team?

[lucid granite]

they really threw that ball

[slender quartz]

Ice cream eaten.

[inland grotto]

They were freaking cruel, wow.

To add to this conversation, I have a sister, and we're both just kinda... distant.

[slender quartz]

I've managed to be a downer in chat, I'm done with my ice cream, off to do nightly chores. I might even get to bed before midnight.

And to add to that whole .22 thing, what happened to you is one reason of many why proper gun control and storage is such a necessity.

We don't talk about my brother
My sister is almost done with high school and wants to go into cosmetology

Any more character development and I'll develop into a villan 😅 /hj

[pure sapphire]

My younger sister hit me in the face witg a shelf, knocked out a molar

[eternal thorn]

ignore the Thanos bullet points

[sleek coral]

Can not

[still tartan]

/hj saaaame

[ivory yew]

Nah those are pretty cool

[pure sapphire]

Why would I do that they're beautiful

[sterile tartan]

I will not ignore the Thanos bullet points

[eternal thorn]

[sleek coral]

That's a glitch

[still tartan]

ay Fizzberg can I ask whats your pronouns?

[still tartan]

I would like to forget this please thanks

[sleek coral]

Hmm! Can you?

[still tartan]

Why do you think I’m asking GOSH

[eternal thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-reality-is-often-disappointing-marvel-mcu-gif-16316172

[sleek coral]

Who is GOSH?

[ivory yew]

Sure! I'm non binary, but I have a hard time with routine changes so I've been going by "she/they" to ease myself into it 😅

[still tartan]

Like god but sh at the end instead of the last letter

[sleek coral]

Ong

[humble marsh]

which last letter? there are several

[still tartan]

thanks for answerin!

[sterile tartan]

I'm gonna read the book
The one where vampires continue to not need to breathe

[still tartan]

gshd

[still tartan]

are you sure they don’t?? better remind you 6000 times

[ivory yew]

Your welcome! Thanks for being accepting about it 😊

[still tartan]

absolutely! I also use she/they pronouns :). Well, she/her for simplicity usually, but I like gender neutral just as much

I cant type for shit today

[ivory yew]

Nah, it's good 😅 I often have to retype stuff at least 5 times over because tiny phone keyboard (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠)

[still tartan]

My hands are so jittery on mobile too 😭

[sterile tartan]

He's also making sure she understands that when he sleeps he's like a corpse
Because he has to remind her he's "dead by human standards" whenever he deems necessary

[ivory yew]

Like, my fingers aren't even that big??? And sone of my friends can type INSANELY FAST soooo 😭😭😭

[humble marsh]

I can type pretty fast on keyboard but mobile takes me like an hour per word

[inland grotto]

Branch sounds like an Enby (NB) name.

[still tartan]

right?? My friends have a running joke that we call my brain Brian because of how many times I’ve misspelled it that way 😂

[inland grotto]

But who just goes and names their kid Branch?

[sterile tartan]

S0ul's sister, apparently

[humble marsh]

I'm stealing that name for my hypothetical future children

[still tartan]

Someone planning to name their other kids Leaf, Blossom, and Casparian Strip

[inland grotto]

There's NB folks named stuff like Sock, Lake, and Arson. Branch would fit right along with them, in name alone.

[still tartan]

I love it 😂 Lots of River/Rain too I’m sure

[inland grotto]

Yeah, and definitely some transfem folk with River as a name, ala River Song.

[sterile tartan]

S0ul also grew up with a kid named Arson 👀

In his class

[still tartan]

Ngl I love River and Rain as names 😂

[ivory yew]

Also I'm an absolute baby😅 I've been playing Kirby while holding my Elfilin (Kirby character) plushie, cuddled up under a blankie 😭 perfect way to spend an evening tho

[sterile tartan]

@still tartan It is a reality of who I am. Vampires might be immortal, but we are not living in the way mortal humans live and breathe.

[still tartan]

I’m so jealous I’m waiting for my potatoes and chicken on the grill to finish cookin. Late dinner

[still tartan]

bro we get itttt

[ivory yew]

I hope it tastes great 😊

[still tartan]

Thank you!! It’s all in foul so I hope I don’t undercook either

…foil*

[sterile tartan]

I am definitely a little freaked out at the idea of sharing a bed with a corpse. oh my gosh she has a logical brain

[still tartan]

Any bets on how long that’ll last lmao

[sterile tartan]

She let him know she's attracted to him and needs to figure out if it's for the right reasons
So there's one plus to this book. Open communication

[humble marsh]

I mean

breathing is not the only thing that constitutes being alive

[sterile tartan]

His heart only beats right after he feeds lmao

[humble marsh]

this fantasy romance(?) is very unrealistic 😤 😤

[sterile tartan]

Vampires are unrealistic anyway

Also yes it's fantasy romance lol

[lime sand]

Hey hey hey, the internet can help with developing tolerance

[lime sand]

Jokes on you, imma try and write a chapter... Either the author or the topic, I'm not picky

[sterile tartan]

Oh wow a knew POV besides bird girl and vampire. Sure why not

[lime sand]

The restraint needed to hold back and say "vampires are real, and annoying, because they are mosquitoes" was strong .. but not strong enough

[sterile tartan]

Lol

[humble marsh]

vampires are real, and annoying, because I am one 😔

[lime sand]

You're a mosquito???

[lime sand]

This got weird. Imma just continue to ignore this topic

[sterile tartan]

Lol

The werewolf guy is reminiscing about the main chick when she was little, and how she wasn't like other girls or other children because she read books and spent time with people's pets lmao

[still tartan]

A woman who does things wow

[sterile tartan]

Ikr

[lime sand]

In other words, werewolf was fascinated by local introvert

[stuck grove]

Bioshock question

Who wins in a fight
Jack Ryan
Subject Delta
Booker Dewitt

[sterile tartan]

She's like 25 I think? In current time?
And the werewolf knew her when she was a literal child because they're family

[lime sand]

I don't recognize any of those names

[stuck grove]

I'd have to choose Delta imho

[lime sand]

Fascinated by local introvert.

[still tartan]

Never did bioshock but Jack Ryan because dude has two first names and you dont fw that

[lime sand]

Just because you said that... Imma mess with them

[sterile tartan]

Ugh
Werewolf dude keeps trying to compare the main woman to when she was little
"That seems out of character for her"
Bro it's been like 20 years since you saw her, stop

This is mostly just a boring book, above all. There's way more attention spent than necessary on things like what they're eating and stuff. Lol

[still tartan]

I’m all for worldbuilding but maybe sprinkle some plot in there 😂

[sterile tartan]

Yeahhhhh lol

[sterile tartan]

My phone decided to call emergency services
So that was funnnn

[spiral zephyr]

Self swat

[sterile tartan]

Apparently lock button being pressed 5+ times equals SOS

"don't need to breathe" count: 5

[lime sand]

Well, that's good to know. Android or iPhone?

[sterile tartan]

Android

[lime sand]

Oooooo

Bet

[stuck grove]

Has anyone here played Days Gone?

[sterile tartan]

Not me, sorry

[lime sand]

Yes

[stuck grove]

My man

[lime sand]

Game put me on edge for the entire time

[stuck grove]

Such a underrated game

[lime sand]

I still love it. Even if I barely put in an hour.

I need to play more

[stuck grove]

Yes you do
Eventually you have to fight a horde to progress

Biggest in the game, over 500 enemies

[lime sand]

Also the voice actor is the same guy that voiced Star Killer in the forced unleashed games. And played the vampire in being human US ver.

Also, one of the characters weirded me out, because I wasn't used to seeing that name in any media

[silent wagon]

He had another role too, lol. One he's a bit more famous for 😆

[sterile tartan]

@still tartan the woman got the cursed shoes off in a cave of truth. All she had to do was fully accept that she wasn't human

[still tartan]

[lime sand]

That emote is a no

Just.

No

[sterile tartan]

Oh she's in her 30s apparently. See I didn't know this til now
I thought she was 20s

She was kidnapped. Heck

The kidnappers are selling her to a collector of supernatural beings

[still tartan]

what an enormous pile of fuck that

[sterile tartan]

Yyyyuuuup
She got away by using a fire as a launch pad basically, with her wind magic, and flying away. It was cool to picture really

[lime sand]

Ooooooo
