The corporate-mandated friendliness of a Starbucks is incredibly creepy and uncomfortable.

Really, it's easier to just not enjoy anything so you're never disappointed later.

There's apparently some sort of possible Firefly reunion being teased? But last I knew we hated Joss Whedon, and some of the cast members ended up being awful people? It's impossible to keep up anymore.

hey look a fun history lesson!

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.

There was a new sign:

"This sleeping willow is full."

And a map of other locations to try.

Didn't you hear? The tariffs are over and we all get refunds! </s> ;)

Do I want a new laptop because I need a new laptop? Or do I want a new laptop because I'm trying to chase the endorphin rush of a new toy?

It's frustrating how time and time again, relying on other people to do literally anything is an exercise in futility.

Take a moment to look around and identify the elephant in the room. If you don't see it, it may be you!

I heard stories of people who've fed crows, and been given gifts in return. It sounded charming, so I began doing that.

Then, one night, there was a rapping on my bedroom window. I stumbled up and opened.

A crow flew in and spoke: "They're coming for you. You must flee."

I only just made it out.

There are SO MANY music puns in just the demo alone.

Why yes, I'll play a music-themed RPG with an enemy called a "Banjoey."

Anybody know of a vetted place that does novelty contact lenses? I can certainly do a web search, but how many of the result sites are actually legit anymore?

Being a mailman makes it VERY aggravating when my mail gets screwed up. I know what is supposed to happen, and I am livid that it didn't happen, because it's NOT THAT HARD.

It's exhausting to see people in the fandom jumping on the Save Our Kinks bandwagon who have also accused artists and fursuit makers of charging too much money and gatekeeping.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

The whole "we'll heavily imply that this severely traumatized girl's adventure was all imaginary" didn't sit well with me either.

Looking forward to my tariff refund check.

Why are you laughing?

I've always loved Toriyama's monster designs. I'm curious if you were bothered by Maribel's personality, aka Veruca Salt?

This scenario happens way too often. "I've driven by this restaurant a bunch. Let's stop in and finally check it out. Oh, it's expensive..."

Played the DQ7 Remastered demo, and one of the main party members is basically Veruca Salt.

I found a good depiction of what I feel like (and the appropriate reactions from others) anytime I talk about things I'm moderately excited about.

Every app or service you use is problematic in some way, and I'm just so tired.

Nes (an muscular anthro/furry kangaroo in white tank top and dark grey shorts) and Ryan (an anthro/furry raccoon in a red t-shirt and beige pants) are watching the Olympics on the blue living room couch. Nes pumps his first, "Wow, what a dive!" Ryan points at the TV off-screen, "That was so cool! He flipped like... five times! He's gonna get so many points!" A commentator from the TV butts in, "Unfortunate. Nobody is going to be happy with that attempt." "Indeed - a very disappointing dive from the Canadian," responds another commentator. The comic hard cuts to the final panel, where Nes is looking down annoyed and confused. Ryan leans forward with his paws clasped over the front of his mouth, staring at the TV with equal annoyance.

Since the Olympics are back, it's time to dust this comic off! 🏅

My favorite part of this golden retriever event downtown is the number of people who show up with not-golden retrievers. Because "this event is not for you" is not a concept anybody understands.
