I can't watch a television show until a demon possesses me and compels me to do it

one thing i do find fun about having a new adaptation of homer very present in the public eye with a lot of very vocal critics is that it truly is a continuation of an age old tradition of getting mad at homeric reception. there were people in the 1st century complaining at vergil for Doing Homer Wrong. a critic named herennius pointed out everything he thought sucked in vergil's poetry. agrippa thought maecenas hired vergil to create a new poetic style and that style was Lame. quintus octavius avitus supposedly wrote an 8 volume series of every line he thought vergil plagiarized. i hope we get this every 2000 years from now on.

i was explaining certain vtm mechanics to my mom so that i could tell her about my campaign and when i got to true faith she rolled her eyes, but then i told her "your faith can be in anything! you just have to believe in it hard enough" and she goes

"Flat Earth."

a whole new world has opened up to me. i can give conspiracy theorists true faith. made up of nothing but delusion. this is the funniest fucking thing ever

The ways that Kindred break from the typical depictions of vampires are really interesting. It's extremely cool to see them have to worry about rent and shift their work hours to be at night so they don't die, and have to find a way to cut themselves off from those they used to know. It's an aspect of vampirism that isnt shown very often, but I find it very fascinating. They're also much more fallible than other depiction, those this is probably more a gameplay thing.

complicated feelings about skyrim. skyrim could be so good if it was good. but it must be a good game if people keep coming back to it and playing and modding it. but it could be so much more if it wasn't rushed out for 11/11/2011. but theres still such a compelling world and game. but it took out so much that made the previous entries good. but

Wikipedia has a list of users who won’t stop vandalizing articles and it’s absolutely amazing

Is there a word for occupying the space where normies think you're a freak and freaks think you're a normie?

I tell a woman with a 9 to 5 office job about the slightly niche speculative fiction novel I just finished and she goes "Oh, that's...interesting. I hadn't heard of that."

I tell a grungy chick I met at a dive bar about the same book and she kinda scoffs and goes "Okay" like I said my favorite show is Sesame Street

The thing I dislike about alt histories where real life monarchs have been made both gay and unproblematic is that it seems to imply that gay monarchs have not existed in history but if they did they would be cool. Which isn’t true. They have existed and they were just as bad as straight people. And I think it is disrespectful to real queer history to pretend that queer people have never been absolute bastards

the beautiful nuthatch is a large member of the nuthatch family, found through most of southeast asia’s mainland. the nuthatch is named for its vibrant coloration, unusual in the nuthatch family. like its relatives, the bird feeds on mainly small insects. the species does not exhibit sexual dimorphism, with both the male and female showing brilliant plumage.

holy shit okay may have found a game-changer for web searches...with duckduckgo it's easy to turn off the ai features permanently, but regardless of engine there's the increasing problem of the search results themselves leading mostly to ai-generated articles on random ghost websites that say a lot without any information, and then the information they do give is contradictory or otherwise just wrong. this is especially a problem for me when trying to search for, e.g., a current list of the best products in a certain category.

finally searched for a solution and there IS in fact a giant hand-curated list of sites containing this content. it can be imported to ublock origin on desktop or mobile, and even can be used on iOS via the ublacklist extension in the safari app. it's updated regularly, and importing via the link as described should allow those updates to go into effect automatically.

i've only tested it a little bit, but after importing the list and repeating my duckduckgo search for backpack recommendations, my top results now lead to websites that appear to be linked to actual organizations in some form, with an "about us" page and the name of a founder and everything. the text is still often a bit wordy and SEO-optimized, but it now has actual recommendations that are relevant to the query. BIG IF TRUE???

please do not start talking about The Definition Of Art on this post, or Whether Human Creations Have Souls. i am very tired.

once I added this it took me 15 minutes to find a backpack that met my needs and order it with free shipping. I feel reborn

So the creator titled this "Caveman Cooking," but I have decided that it is Grug the Orc making Peanut Butter Squares. Link to original post.

Sound on. Trust me.
