I watch some trash reality TV and always find it kind of funny how contestants spend a long amount of time internalizing the stress of the situation the show they agreed to be on is putting on them.

Half of Love Island is “Why did you kiss them?” “Why did you go on a date with that person?” “Why did you break up with me?” Guys it’s a SHOW. The SHOW is making you go through these completely unnatural circumstances!

And then I think about real life and it’s like “why don’t I have energy? why am I so depressed? why can’t I be more productive?” …guys it’s CAPITALISM/SOCIETY. SOCIETY is making you go through these completely unnatural circumstances!

…except of course I didn’t agree to be on this show.

What’s everyone’s favorite F13 movie?

I think the first one is kinda boring and more of a vibes movie; good background noise, but not worth your full attention.

My fave is part 6 when it really leaned into the silliness and fun of itself (and it inspired Scream).

I’ll always have a soft spot for part 3’s music tho.

I know it’s been four days, but I just wanted to circle back to this and say this is great/I still’ve been thinking about it.

I just like how it brackets everything I said into two sentences. Love it.

EAT THE RICH flavored foods.

Once they’ve deemed there’s enough professional journalists disbanded to start getting dirty.

I’m gonna be honest with ya; housing prices have gotten completely incompatible with my gambling addiction, pair that with streaming services having no interest in my pitch to have pre-recorded clown interludes between cartoon episodes, and you’ve got this: the only affordable place someone like me can live, the sewers.

It ain’t so bad. Years of wearing a rubber nose has sealed my nostrils shut, so I don’t mind the smell.

The roommates situation on the other hand?…

Geraldo Riviera eats a rat from the fridge

Hey! Hands off my lunch! Geraldo? Shouldn’t you be on Fox?

Geraldo: yes, but their craft services just doesn’t compare to the real thing.

I don’t do balloons anymore, kid. Penny’s got a new latex allergy he doesn’t want to make worse than it already is. scratch scratch

We all uh…somethin’… down here, look, kid, just let me bite your arm off, OK?

I’ve never considered it a paradox, more of an irony.

…but yes I was oversimplifying for funsies. “Bash the fash” as they say.

The only thing tolerance cannot tolerate is intolerance…

…I think it is morally sound to remove someone from society if that someone is an intolerant, fascist, greedy bigot. What constitutes as “remove” is contingent on how intolerant, fascist, and greedy the subject has exhibited themselves to be.

…murder is OK, in some scenarios.

Grim Fandango is probably going to be the most accurate depiction of the afterlife if ever there was one.

“I don’t mean to victim blame, but I try not to look like I’m worth mugging.”

“I’m sorry!! I don’t know how this happened! Well, um, now that you’re here… wanna watch The Last Unicorn? I won’t sap this time!”

my spouse uses it on me whenever they want something ‘cause I’m a people-pleaser and that voice melts my heart into doing whatever favor they’re asking.

This is a meme, not a comic. Tsk. Tsk.

“It’s not working!! Which of the 27 components did I forget??” 🪦

Somehow it follows us from FB to Twitter to Reddit to here.

Actually it does exist; it’s on Facebook and— how I and my friends discovered it— Discord, under Activities.

It’s actually kind of nice to just chill and play the stupid game while waiting for friends to join lobbies or between matches or if someone doesn’t really feel like playing but still wants to chat.

It’s also not my first Freemium rodeo (that would be Clash of Clans, and Simpsons Tapped Out, which I stopped playing eons ago), so I’m kind of more aware/mindful of how it’s trying to hook me with a wall to pay to go beyond, but instead of paying I’m just like “oh! that’s all I can do for now. Cool. Closing the game/time to go do something else!”

Hello, my name is Doug and I’m addicted to Farm Merge Valley.

To be clear; nudity is fine, just not all-the-time, male-gaze shots put in akin to commercial breaks. Like Gurren Lagan; someone told me to try that one and ye gods the amount of times it was about boobs was ridiiiiiculous.
