It's always so disappointing when sci fi and fantasy books call their languages "Basic" or "Common". No language is apolitical or universal: if they're all calling one language Basic, who made it that way? Why is THIS dialect "Common" and all the others are Special/Magical/Incomprehensible??? Show me even a hint of the politics, or give your language a real name

Are you an advocate for censorship?

is this because i said not to use the r slur

Effeminate dentist: You need to brush more on your gums-- hold on why am I "effeminate?" What? I'm literally just a normal dentist. A masculine one, even.

Me: (struggling to speak through the dentist's fingers) youw weren't shupposhed to shee that

Thanks google

TIL wishlisting is called 'lishing' by the cool kids 😰

foodstamps themselves are BASED, especially if you live in california. pls update your misconceptions about them, theyre not limited like they used to be! almost any grocery store outside of specialty stores uses EBT including fancyass places like wholefoods. some specialty stores do, but you have to ask before you go. i found out hmart takes EBT and its great, i get specialty korean groceries for free.

theres very few things you cant get. alcohol and hot food, but the hot food one is kinda fuzzy, sometimes things count and other times they dont. you kinda have to find out by buying it and seeing if it takes your card.

you CAN get snacks and chips and junk food, ice cream, desserts, ive gotten a whole ham, tri tip, a wholeass prime rib, etc.

if youre unemployed and disabled GET ON EBT NOW especially if youre in a richer state because you will have so much ebt that you will have extra and no idea what to do with it except treat yourself. i eat at trader joes and whole foods and hmart every month without running out of money most of the time. i am by no means living in luxury otherwise, but my food situation is GREAT and i live a little in excess ngl im grocery spoiled. theres a chance you too could get this.

dont delay. get on food stamps. NOW!

audio drama creators after years of living off scraps of queer rep in mainstream media realizing they have a word doc, a snowball mic and audacity

My boyfriend just woke up, mostly still asleep and told me “don’t worry, it’s getting better” in a heavy, American accent, which is unusual for an Australian man.

“Why are you American?” I asked, to which I got:

“Sorry, it’s getting better” in a stereotypical posh English accent.

“Why are you English?” I asked, amused.

“What is he normally?” He managed to ask.

“He? You’re not anyone else, you’re you.”

“Ugh, me” was the last thing he said, in a right proper Aussie accent before he fell back into proper sleep.

just gonna start killing people i dont find funny

what if i *remembers that making suicide jokes is not conducive with my goal of improving the wellbeing of myself and everyone around me* transform into an oyster

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

Conjuration in the elder scrolls is kinda wild lore-wise because from your perspective yes you’re conjuring a fire creature to shoot fire at people but from that fire creature’s perspective, it’s a person. Like you’re not creating a creature out of nothing. You’re yoinking it out of oblivion.

Lore-wise the difference between mortals and Daedra is that mortals and the eight divines are descended from the beings that gave up their power to make the physical world and Daedra are descended from the beings that didn’t. So Daedra may have the power to respawn when they’re killed but they’re still like. People.

There’s a quest in Skyrim most people might not have seen because you need to reach level 90 conjuration to do it but basically you go through the process of binding a dramora so it can be conjured and the dramora is rightfully pissed at you for pulling it out of its daily activities and trying to tell it what to do. And you basically have to torture it into obeying you by killing it over and over again.

Like being mortal has its drawbacks in the elder scrolls universe to be sure but as a Daedra there’s always a chance you’ll be torn from your coffee break by some random mage and told hey you work for me now I can summon you away from your coffee break any time I want

hey. i see you're decorating a bathroom rn. can i offer you some advice? please don't put a mirror in a place where someone can watch themselves shit. full wall mirrors are for sex dungeons and torture chambers. thanks

People tend to throw out the phrase "extremely specific kinks" as though that inherently implies something transgressive, but in my experience, the overwhelming majority of extremely specific kinks are so innocuous that you could see them in public and not even clock them. For every person who can only get off to having their nipples electrocuted, there are a dozen who are volcanically aroused by seeing their partner wearing one specific pair of socks.
