as usual, i'm late for everything

I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service

i was in the supermarket and a guy looked at me and calls over to his wife like "honey what are we having for dinner tonight?" and when she told him he nodded and, still staring directly at my shirt, said "i'll get some garlic bread"

my shirt:

[hyperoperationfractallisation]

Where'd you get that shirt I want one

[hardal201]

Ok sorry but what's the appeal with garlic bread? I always see people talking about how good it is yet I've never seen one ever. Is it really THAT good?

[hyperoperationfractallisation]

If I'm gonna be frank I think it is slightly overhyped but it's still incredible

[moose-mousse]

Garlic bread is horrible

It combines being delicious and piss easy to make.

Chop garlic and put it in butter for 24 hours. Done

Smear garlic butter on bread and fry it. Done

And it tastes great! You could easily eat only garlic bread for days

It is too easy! ;_;

Gotta start using this in everyday conversation

The Last Act: The Experience (no spoilers)

This isn't about the movie itself, this is just about the experience of going to see it at the theater. No details whatsoever about the plot, characters, or anything else that appeared on the screen.

I think this was my most heart-warming and satisfying experience at the theater since that time in 2014 when I went to see Spirited Away at the student-run theater on my college campus.

So often, when you watch a movie at the theater, the other people in the audience are just there for the sake of going to the movie theater. They just want to go out somewhere with their friends and family, so they look at what's playing and choose the film that's least objectionable to everyone in the group. They're not there to see that movie, they're there to see a movie. But The Last Act was different because practically everyone in that theater had been following the show, possibly since the first episode dropped three years ago. They wanted to see that movie. They were excited to see it. And the excitement was palpable.

It's been a long time since I heard other people react in the movie theater. They gasped. They cheered. They went "aww." Everyone was mentally present to share this experience.

Even after the credits ended, most everyone remained seated. I think it was because we all knew we had just witnessed something special, and we didn't want it to end yet.

Anyways, I know the fandom has been pretty toxic online, but that energy wasn't at the theater. At least, not while I was there.

Whenever I see the words "hell yeah," I read them in the voice of Jenna Marbles with that echo effect.

Since Megamind said the real villains are the incels, and fascists successfully leveraged incel rage to take over the US, that means Megamind predicted the current political crisis.

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

Just updated my Ao3 profile and realised it’s old enough to legally drive in the US. 😂

Got it in March 2010 and the user ID is four digits long.

Reblog with when you got your Ao3 account and how long your user ID is.

2018, and my ID is in the 4 millions.

Jax and Pomni are doing the same ploy here, but with opposite goals.

Jax wanted to prove to himself that there was no connection between him and Pomni. Throughout his ensuing crashout, he wasn't trying to convince Pomni they were never friends; he was trying to convince himself. In his mind, if she pulled the trigger, that meant she never cared about him, and he had successfully kept the whole circus at emotional arm's length.

But Pomni saw through his charade, and she turned it back around on him. Unlike Jax, her motive wasn't to convince herself they were friends; she already knew that to be true. Instead, she was trying to force Jax to realize and admit that he cared about her.

In the end, Pomni's ploy was the one that worked. Sure, Jax went on his whole rant about how he sees everyone as his playthings and he doesn't care about any of them. But he still couldn't bring himself to physically hurt Pomni, even though he had done so in previous episodes (2 and 3). He's come to care about her.

Jax and Pomni played a game of emotional chicken, and Jax swerved first.
