Finger Prince posted:Saw a store today, "Blushing Memory Adult Boutique". I'm a little surprised that brick-n-mortar adult shops are still surviving, given the Internet. Like, are they surviving on nostalgia? Is it for tourists? Or is there a set of people that are just thrilled to go in there and take a deep breath of silicone and the last lingering stock of weed-alternative substances and paw through cheap lingerie? |

She cried a tiny bit and asked why I was doing this, and I said it was just nice to see her treating people like human beings. I hope she buys herself a nice dinner or something. I feel good about the world again. |

Also honestly it can be nice to have some actual human being help you out with a purchase that probably you don't get a lot of outside advice about, and might feel kind of scary. There was a store in Seattle called cruft fucked around with this message at 02:41 on May 11, 2023 |

I love the idea of the Passion Party cult leader. “Allison, you’ll never guess who’s doing the presentation tonight! The Passion Queen!” *excited clapping* “That’s amazing! But, uh, is she discreet? This neighborhood can be a little nosy and…” *repurposed Oscar Meyer Weinermobile painted bright purple rolls up* *honks horn that is La Cucaracha but with orgasm sounds instead of trumpet* |

I've been trying to listen to the Wheel of Time on audiobook but it keeps putting me to sleep. This was annoying as hell, until I gave up on trying to get through these books, and subsequently realized that these books are the best sleep aid I own. 5 minutes of trying to pay attention to this boring (to me) crap read in the exact same vocal pattern for every sentence, and I am out like a light. And now I'm realizing what the timer icon is there for on my audiobook player. |

I just gifted a book about trucks to my friend's two year old and he loves it. The next book I give him will probably be about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are a timeless wonder. Or maybe I should play it safe and get him a book about trains.

I got a copy of the original land before time on dvd in case my niece (currently 4 and a half) gets into dinosaurs but I forgot that:
which reminds me, I haven't watched the new jurassic park yet

I once had a customer service job yes, this is very vague related to dinosaurs and the most important thing I learned was that if a very young kid asks you if the dinosaurs are real, you say "no".

Papa Was A Video Toaster posted:young earth creationist, eh? nope, nothing like that to be serious, it was an amusement park ride, and older siblings love to torment their younger charges about how scary the ride is, so having an adult confirm their fears is enough to overcome their disbelief at least, that's what I think is usually the case, among other reasons

if you are deathly afraid of dinosaurs, then perhaps going on the ride that advertises them prominently is not a great idea but as a middle sibling, I have been at both ends of the kind of pressure that can be exerted in this case

Are the Dinosaurs real? Unfortunately not any more. Vague and truthful.

Bright Bart posted:Never had the urge to do this to my sibling. I just want to hug her and kiss her and pat her on the head and listen to her achievements & what's changing in her life. Nope. I guess my brothers and I had a tendency to antagonize and toughen each other up at every opportunity. Which evaporated when my older brother went to college and my younger brother and I spent more time with our separate cliques in high school. Now it's my older brother giving child rearing tips to my younger brother and all of us debating the effects of the current federal interest rate. It's a much more obviously collaborative relationship.

I used to bicker with my youngest brother constantly, but largely got along with my middle brother. Now I mostly avoid my middle brother and only bicker with my youngest brother a bit.

Abugadu posted:Such a weird moment in cinema history. I can't think of another movie out there where the director re-released an altered version, insisted that the new one was the correct one, and attempted to obliterate the old one. Leaves of Grass but fortunately we now have access to every version of it that hit shelves. There are also a bunch of frustrating incidents in comics where modern releases digitally recolored pencils and inks from decades ago, creating a much different look than the original artists wanted, and in many cases a much worse and more boring look.
