If you stay here too long, you'll end up frying your brain. Yes, you will. No, you will...not. Yesno you will won't.
From a parenting perspective, there's so many annoying fanbases out there because of social media. Like baby led weaning vs purees or montessori groups. There's an anti screen influencer who is seriously out to get Ms. Rachel. And the worst are the baby bamboo groups. I'm not kidding, the baby bamboo shopping addictions are WILD, particularly for a brand called Little Sleepies.

Thankfully, the Patreon has been deleted on account of Lowtax voluntarily removing his brain from his body. Though it wouldn't surprise me if an unsmall number of people who were subscribed to Garbage Gaming right till the end were also dead themselves and their credit cards were just being auto-processed by Patreon in perpetuity until they would have expired.

I mean even before the internet that wasn't uncommon. They've always been people who would just rather not deal with other people. Sometimes in healthier or unhealthier ways.

Ah! But it is written in the LOTR book that hobbits GIVE presents away on their birthday, therefore Smeagol should have been fine with Deagol getting the ring in the first place.

See also people being upset that the movie had tomatoes in it, when the book itself mentions hobbits eating potatoes.

Basically, literalists of entertainment media are really, really annoying people.

Pretty much anyone who gatekeeps or expects you to enjoy the thing exactly the way they do.

Its fun to know things and give context to the piece of media or activity that you're introducing someone to but if you respect them as a person just let them experience it on their own and take away whatever meaning they can.

Music/film nerds, my former self included, are especially guilty of this.

The most egregious example is probably my BIL who will stop movies and explain what's happening between the characters 7-10 times throughout the course of a movie just to ensure everyone else is understanding. We are all in our 30s. None of us are children. He ruined In Bruges.

2) Grand Wizards

3) The OP

In my experience it's a bit expensive, but also soft and comfortable. It's a normal material used by serious companies, but it's also kind of new and exotic and that attracts scammers and weirdos.

Metal.

Metal can be fun and good, but there's this whole victim complex about Metal being outsider music when every time I'm aware of a stadium show, it's a Metal band. High Street stores sell Metal shirts. Go into a guitar store and 80% of the products are aimed at neckbearded shredders. Radio 2 play Disturbed and Ghost. My dad likes Metallica. The forced wholesomeness of like Jack Black and flashing the horns loving sucks. Walk down the high street of any mid to large city and like half of the guys between 18 and 40 are wearing a Slipknot shirt or whatever.

Thrash is great because its about getting hosed up in sweaty basements and drawing, like, a zombie president pressing the nuclear button and the songs are fast and short and the fashion is great and grindcore is similar and sing about killing Tories instead of dragons and hating your dad, but 7-string, multi-time signature libertarian guys loving suck.
