Mild inconveniences used to annoy me, but nowadays I'm reaching a point where I just stare at whatever's in front of me like

In 2010 I prayed to live in a time when Taio Cruz’s Dynamite was no longer playing on the radio, and now in 2022 I’d fall to my knees in tears if I had the chance to go back

Appearing inexplicably mesmerized by the unremarkable scenery below, Delta flight 2127 passenger Richard Hart, 38, was glued to the window of the Airbus A321 “like it was fucking 1956,” travellers confirmed Tuesday. “Jesus, this guy is staring out that window as if the miracle of aviation was bestowed upon mankind just this morning,” said Hart’s row 27 seat-mate Hannah Gordon, who noted that the “goddamned simpleton” had audibly exclaimed in delight before making a “dumbass” observation about how small everything looked.

In the modern idiom:

“So Bob said […]” indicates that I am directly quoting Bob.

“Then Bob was like […]” indicates that I am paraphrasing Bob.

“And Bob was all […]” indicates that I am paraphrasing Bob, and additionally I am being a dick about it.

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s fantastic that we have a specific grammatical convention for that.

idk if you should be proud that your tastes haven't changed at all. I've never understood the "it was never a phase" thing like ... grow up?

I literally don't need you or this town so jot that down

Is about your first crush who doesn't know you exist but when you're 32 it's definitely about all the food that hurts your tummy now

I would like to stop regularly experiencing excruciating, debilitating pain. I think that would be nice.

I think it's hilarious that hands down the worst way to learn magic is the actual rulebook. Please do not read that. It's just there for reference when something weird happens

these are all the same sort of animal. do you understand.

these are all small skittish creatures that love to bite and are found in drawers of garages and classrooms. they’re all related and in the same small biter family. weird little kids who play with them while they’re distracted and have empathy for them can tame them and become these beasts companions

top tier character-building device in pokemon games is when a seemingly antagonistic character has a golbat on their team and then later has it evolved into a crobat, which requires significant friendship, thus signalling that the character was always a kind person inside (plumeria), is growing past their issues and learning to be kinder (silver), may hold a spark of kindness that undermines their cold and calculating image (cyrus), etc etc

Meanwhile, Ghetsis—who is an antagonist who pretends to be an advocate for Pokemon rights—faces off against you with an under-leveled Hydreigon, which in the canon lore of the series only happens when someone forces evolution early, and that Hydreigon uses a full-power Frustration in B2W2, suggesting that it absolutely loathes Ghetsis.

[horror-horo-hollow]

For any non-pokemon players:

In pokemon games, there’s a hidden stat called friendship, which maxes out at 255 points; there are two (major) moves that are affected by this:

Return, which gets stronger the higher a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping at 102 base power with 255 friendship (for context, hyper beam has a base power of 150)

And frustration, which does the opposite, getting stronger the lower a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping out at 102 base power when the pokemon is at 0 friendship

The EXTRA fucked up thing is, almost NO pokemon has a base friendship of 0. The only pokemon that do are legendary pokemon and buneary. So Ghetsis actively lowered his Hydreigon’s friendship, and the only way to do that in-game is to let your pokemon faint often without using healing items on them

In other words Ghetsis is a major cunt

[trekfaerie]

wh

what’s up with buneary???

[bramblepatch]

Buneary fucking hates you by default. It’s also another friendship-dependent evolution line.

[valley-o]

for others who are clueless in the poking men, this is the tiny bunny that fucking hates you

[alecto-class-nhp-nue]

Bunneary hates your guts with the force of Gods

I, like many people, imagine that Ryland Grace included many personal notes and thoughts in the information he sent back to Earth, but it has just occurred to me that there is an even funnier version of this.

Decades or centuries after humanity was saved, after they received a clear and concise but impersonal data dump about the astrophage lifecycle + the Eridians and Ryland has faded into a martyred historical figure that no one bothers to learn much about personally, humanity finally mounts a trip to visit the home planet of the species that helped save them all.

When they arrive they are immediately hit in the face with Ryland Grace's thesis-length tell-all memoir that he spent the rest of his life working on (with the expectation of this very event) and all the Earth historians just have to deal with all this new unedited data because you KNOW some weird Earth government decided to sanitize most of the actual info about how the project worked for publicity or something and so no one was really aware of what all went down during the potential End of the World.
