Would eliminate a bunch of headaches if I ever decided I hated living in the US enough to move to the EU. As an Italian-American there's a lot of things I like about Italy but it's the last place I'd ever go to escape fascism

cats can be pretty different from each other regarding personal boundaries and that's just something you have to learn when you own them. rescue cats in particular can be pretty shell-shocked if they were abused.

doverhog posted:So how about Worcestershire sauce? It's perfect on everything that's not a dessert, and I don't eat desserts or sugar. If god came down and handed us a sauce, well he wouldn't because it already exists and some english dude made it by accident. i like to mix it into my burger patties before cooking them, I don't know about everything but it makes beef pretty tasty

I certainly wouldn't want to live in a society without laws+people to enforce them. There are solid, working alternatives based on restorative justice models practiced by communities around the world, such as with Indigenous Canadians.

d&d is mostly awful and bland barring a handful of cool settings but that's part of the fun of it imo, unless the DM is real bad anything they add to it for the sake of the campaign is unique and interesting and therefore memorable by comparison. feels like among the tabletop rpg genre it has the biggest failure to launch curse, though, I can't count how many groups I've heard about never getting out the gates. possibly just seems that way since its the most popular.

eh, i'd argue this on the basis on scale. plenty of games with really strong and engaging loops, made with free assets, in spans as short as 24 hours come out of game jams, even if they aren't particularly content-rich. if you're talking purely commercial endeavors by corporations making a larger-scale mass-market project, maybe.

as a tiny brat i used to spread peanut butter and jelly on a soft taco and wrap it up, calling it a pburrito. i will not ever try this again as it's probably way worse than I remember and I don't want to tarnish the memory, however inconsequential it is.

Gripweed posted:Yeah, insulting people by calling them gay is a playground tactic. It's weird that adults in favor of gay rights would use the playground tactic of insulting people by calling them gay. If you support gay rights you shouldn't use gay as an insult. You shouldn't try to delegitimize people by suggesting they're gay. im p. sick of it and the logical implication the insult carries that only gay people are responsible for homophobia

fan works defy the dismemberment of the public domain by allowing writers to take copyrighted characters and set them to work in unusual, fresh, and life-affirming contexts, or to take multiple contexts and smash them together, toying with how they mesh and contrast. it's a useful practice grounds for people to experiment with art using established factors they can freely use as is or modify at their whim.

bojack is good mostly because ""adult animation"" is an absolute wasteland of garbage sitcoms and it eventually pushes beyond being a sitcom itself by shattering the status quo repeatedly. it's not a work of genius, it's just refreshing.
