Hi I'm a fae, give me your name.

Now.

It's'a me! Bowser!

[sm-64-luigi]

PAUSE THE’A TAPE!

It’s time for the lesson of the’a day!

The Fae can’a really screw you over if you’a give someone else’s name when they ask for yours!

Don’t do what this man has done, instead, refuse to state your name if someone asks, even if the person asking is’a stranger or loved one! Because they’a could be Fae in disguise!

Remember kids, a simple rejection is’a the smart move in this scenario!

[sm64-wario]

...so am I'a screwed?

Pretty much

Look at these 2 rip-offs.

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)

[lasrina]

I've said it before but this is both the Icelandic and the Irish approach:

Of course we're modern educated people who don't believe in fairies

But we're also not gonna fuck with 'em, we're not idiots

[janetmayfire]

The word you're looking for is "substitious." The Urban Dictionary defines it as "Being substitious is believing in things that are true, but that very few people believe to be true."

Avelo Airlines cuts ties with ICE, ends deportation flights - al.com

Airline cuts ties with ICE, ends deportation flights after protests, spamming

The budget carrier signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security in April 2025.

[partisan-by-default]

Avelo Airlines, the only commercial carrier believed to have been operating full deportation flights on a regular basis for the Trump administration, is ending its relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will no longer charter those deportations.

The budget carrier signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security in April 2025 to operate ICE flights out of Arizona, drawing immediate protests and calls to boycott.

At the time, the airline acknowledged the decision may be controversial but said it was expected to support company expansion and job protection. However, after less than a year since inking the deal, Avelo has admitted that the program became too costly and complex to continue.

CEO Andrew Levy acknowledged the backlash in an email to employees late Tuesday.

“We moved a portion of our fleet into a government program which promised more financial stability but placed us in the center of a political controversy,” Levy wrote in the email, obtained by CNBC.

“The program provided short-term benefits but ultimately did not deliver enough consistent and predictable revenue to overcome its operational complexity and costs.” (aph)

if you’re afraid of roundabouts you shouldn’t be.. they’re beautiful pieces of roadway engineering that prevent much more anguish than they cause. loosen up and enjoy the experience of using a Roundabout next time you see one. they’re quite intuitive and much faster than a light

Fun statistical fact: Cows are about 300 times more likely to kill you than coyotes.

Minor sidenote to statistical fact: If it was common for people to keep several hundred coyotes on their property and routinely chase them into a corral and handle them, this statistic would be different.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

this is a great summary of ‘conditional probability’, a statistical property many people grapple with

Renee Good. Say her name.

[lakemojave]

I don't care what her occupation was. I don't care whether she was a US citizen. I don't care whether she complied with ICE's demands or not. Even if she was an unemployed non citizen actively resisting arrest, no one should get away with brutally gunning her down in the street.

my montante instructor came by during longsword class last night and was like “hey. I found a guy to make me a flaming greatsword. If I did would you be interested.”

ICE just murdered a woman in Minneapolis and the police swarmed the area and erected riot barricades, and the mayor is calling for ICE to leave the city now and apparently Minneapolis is PISSED

ANOTHER thing i will say about self-pub/indie media of all kinds is that people are always quick to warn you that to find the good stuff you must first endure a lot of bad stuff you don't enjoy. that qualifier like "oh you will read nine bad things to find one kind of good thing but you must persist". but i don't know what corporate media people are enjoying that has a better hit rate than that. there's corporate media that cost millions to make that's so bad people start weird conspiracies about it. "most of it sucks if you have taste" is not a problem exclusive to self-pub. some of the highest grossing movies of 2025 were "we took that thing you liked and made it live action for some reason". if you clicked a link to a free thing one time and you thought the art was ugly or the acting was bad or it was full of typos i simply cannot bring myself to care about your need to warn people that It Could Happen To Them.
