I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.

[fuglyjeans]

Have you heard about Bluetooth it's legal now

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Yeah ofc lemme just pair my bluetooth headphones to my gameboy advance and my goddamn casette player why didn't I think of that

this is an artistic rendition of my irrational fear of a head that attacks only under the cover of the very loud toilet flush in the scary top floor bathroom at the hospital and how i exited the bathroom when i decided to flush and run as opposed to my normal method of flushing and putting my back to a wall

[cyberfights]

took pics today at work to show common attack patterns and defense strategies that i employ

Simon just wants to eat in peace man.

I finished reading a fic called The Patron Saints of One Way Trips! such a fun read hehehd

There's actually a lot of scenes that really stuck to me but I was in the mood for drawing Grace geeking out about Simon

[cobaltspartan]

fascinated by jeff the killer tbh. everyone in that creepypasta has generic white usamerican names (jeff, keith, barbara, billy, etc.) except for jeff the killer's doe eyed little brother liu. why is he liu. is liu chinese? it's okay if he's chinese. is jeff also chinese? has jeff the killer been chinese this whole time? am I a bad person?

[will-0-the-wispp]

I'm a cow milk fan but this ad is baffling. "Don't drink oat milk it's made of oats!!!" We know that's why it's called oat milk. Are they against porridge too.

I know the whole "processed foods are evil somehow" thing is getting out of hand but this is a level I haven't seen before.

[thewelllitweenie]

Probably about additives? Like the extra oil and sugar or whatever but that's a hard hill to clean those drinks have been around for a long arse time. Possibly as long as dairy? I know almond milk is bronze age.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Cow milk also has oil and sugar in it, it's just pre-blended inside the cow.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#'pre blended inside the cow' is killing me

Was I wrong though

[chaoticfromacertainpointofview]

There's also the 'real' milk to consider like we couldn't drink whale milk right? Buffalo/goat/cow/sheep is fine but certain milk aren't just for us. Like baby whales need so much fat.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Envisioning old whaling ships but instead of killing the whales for blubber and ivory they milk them and let them go

[algae-illustrations]

Grace, you can't say that!

some of the best tropes: divorce, cheating, cucking, weird love triangle, breaking up making up, breaking up never making up, pining for your ex, pining for the person you're nominally in a competition with for the third end of the triangle, infidelity, emotional infidelity, fucking someone and imagining they're someone else, toxic soulmates, toxic codependency, proxy sex, exes with benefits, cheating, divorce
