Counterpoint: there’s an episode where a genie kills a man by giving him a giant penis but not enough blood to fill it and keep his brain alive, then turns another person invisible. It’s a monster-of-the-week episode, but still. Definitely magic.

Plane or sand it smooth and refinish it. Probably you would need to strip and refinish the whole thing to blend it in but that is an advantage to wooden furniture.

Whataboutism isn’t an argument.

There’s no likely way to go back, because sweeping good-for-all regulation that aesthetically inconveniences someone is political suicide in this selfish culture.

I’d ENTHUSIASTICALLY return to the days of uniform, regulated headlights at a reasonable luminosity.

Pass on sticking within the bounds of treason and tyranny. I’m gonna keep idealizing beyond that.

Russia occupying Crimea or attacking Kyiv is not “propaganda” it is material, verifiable fact. If your position is “those are already part of Russia” then fuck you.

Hasn’t posted in a few months, must be busy with that Ocean’s Eleven project.

Not to denigrate your experience but this is a good litmus test for anxiety. I can’t relate to this at all but my partner is hyper-aware of the feelings of others and readily attaches emotional significance to objects so this anecdote is very much something I’d expect from her. I hope your day-to-day isn’t filled with feigned enthusiasm.

That kind of blatant mischaracterization of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is exactly why people call you guys Tankies.

Fuck that’s a nice bed.

Oh, uh, pass.

Plants do do dimorphic gametes but it’s complicated by their two-stage life cycle.

Learn high-density home gardening and safe food preservation. That said, white rice does store a long time so it’s a good thing to hoard if you’re worried about food availability.

The worst part of anti-war music is that it never stops being relevant. Blast off! It’s party time!

Nobody should be obliged to host bigotry. That’s not “censorship” in a way that matters.

A bit disingenuous to skip the part where their bodies are falling apart and they’re in constant pain.

Patriotism is nationalism and it’s a toxic impulse. Borders are fake and division fuels bigotry.

It’s probably related to the term bangtail which I guess is a thing with horses and other livestock where they trim the tail hair straight across for reasons. Delving further into speculation it could have picked up the pluralization along a “those women with their bang cuts” > “their bangs” sort of route. I dunno man, language is weird.

Here’s another haircut example: the mohawk, also called a mohican in the UK and presumably other places, is a recognizable style independently named after two different indigenous American tribes that didn’t wear their hair like that. America picked it up from the film Drums Along the Mohawk and the UK got it from The Last of the Mohicans a few decades later.

They also tend to be at least 30% more expensive than a proper grocery store, so it’s really wasteful to not drive and get a week’s worth of food at a time.
