Fruit loop fans from a timeline where the time loop has changed so much that it’s not a time loop anymore it’s a fruit loop and the universe just keeps moving in that direction.

still cool

interesting how theres all these art media forms that come and go. compact disks are one and trot of vhs tape and so on then you have book. book has been around longer than any of them and is STILL COOL. even with digital books around its STILL cool to have physical book on shelf

honestly go team words on a page. you are killing it when it comes to delivering art

We need to bring back clay tablets. Like yeah, books are cool but check out this ancient Yelp review for a copper shipment. Aw yisss.

The thing about Cottagecore is that is a fetishized aesthetic of country life, divorced from labor and idealized by a primarily urban audience with a backward looking ethos of tradition. They are not prepared for the stresses of a rural life: farming; harvesting; tapping pumpkins to ensure none of them have been replaced with flesh; losing out on income by having to use one of your pigs in a blood sacrifice to paint protective sigils over your doors and windows; checking cracks and chimneys for the flesh-vines of the Pumpkin Lord; having to decide, before the Growth is complete, whether that's really your tradwife or an amassment of vines, leaves, and blood in the shape of your tradwife; ignoring their desperate pleas that "I'm me! No! No!" as you burn them alive, realizing too late you picked wrong; and the exploitative corporate nature of commercial farming in 2024. All seen through a deeply colonial lens, of course

what do you think of gen alpha children using "bro" as a third person pronoun? ie "what is bro doing?" "bro's flabbergasted" etc

noun

[rain-rome]

but there are no articles or plural markers used? its kind of behaving like a proper noun actually

[janmisali]

it's behaving like a kinship term

[maniculum]

Since this keeps coming up lately, may I suggest as a litmus test of What Is Pronoun for non-linguists:

Does it have a reflexive form? That is — in English — is [X]self a valid and attested construction?

Does the sentence “bro made this broself” (or “chat seems pleased with chatself”) sound reasonable? Can you find an instance of someone using that kind of construction unironically? If you can, then you can argue it’s being used as a pronoun.

If you can’t — if your impulse is to say, e.g., “bro accidentally injured himself” — then that’s not a pronoun because it’s acting as the antecedent to an attested pronoun.

Here, use this template:

(That all being said, if someone out there wants to claim "bro/bro/broself" as bro's personal pronouns, one should respect bro's identity.)

[janmisali]

worth noting, this is technically a test for personal pronouns, not pronouns in general. (demonstrative and interrogative pronouns do not have reflexive forms; there's no "thatself" or "whoseself") but since that's the type of pronoun people are claiming "bro" is, it's fine and works here

[rayb15h0p]

I feel that it’s the false assumption of “bro/bro/broself” that makes this awkward since the same construction would sound just as unworkable as he/he/heself and she/she/sheself.

I would use “brer” as a possessive of “bro” personally. Particularly appropriate seeing as “Brer Rabbit” means “Brother Rabbit” which means “Bro Bunny”.

Then you could posit that Bro was sitting there the other day eating brer sandwich by brerself and it flows more naturally.

Literally any variant of that scans better than bro/bro/broself, you could use “bir” (because: beer…and bro goes with beer) and understands that bro was sitting by birself eating bir sandwich just fine.

I feel that it can work just fine as a pronoun if you don’t just bro-bro-bro it.

Ok, but exactly how many eggs are we talking here?

What is the optimal egg-to-basket ratio?

Are the eggs in an egg carton or is the assumption that I’m some sort of psycho that sticks eggs randomly ina basket u protected?

Are there other things in the basket that could harm my one-or-more-but-not-yet-established-optimal-ratio-of-eggs?

Does the same ratio apply if the eggs are at the bottom of the basket surrounded by heavy, sharp, objects?

Should we also have a proverb “don’t put your eggs at the bottom of the basket?”

Damn this wisdom of the ages crap, I need answers.

two thousand nine hundred and twenty-two days

January 9, 2016 is the day my life — a life that belongs to me, that centers my needs and dreams, that I built out of the ashes of my abusive childhood — began. It was the day I chose to stop numbing my pain and started a slow, deliberate, committed journey toward healing the trauma that I experienced at the hands of my abusive, neglectful, emotionally immature narcissist parents. Here’s what I…

NEIL GAIMAN PLEASE TELL THAT AZIRAPHELLE AND CROWLEY WILL BE TOGETHER, I'M TRUMPING WITH THE QUESTION WHEN THEY WILL BE TOGETHER

I'm afraid not. They are barely in it. Crowley dies in the beginning of Season 3 tragically, because of pies, and Aziraphale also dies in Season 3 but hilariously, because of falling in a hole.

The rest of Season 3 is a story about three little rabbits who go to the big city to open a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, and their family's involvement with the East German secret police in the early 1960s.

Welp, no point in watching it now.

Thanks a lot, Neil.
