Obviously foot care is important and all that, but the conscious act of deliberately drying between my toes does not feature as heavily as parental insistence in childhood led me to believe it would

'Using "this person is cosplaying / LARPING as XYZ in political discourse' is othering and alientates people who cosplay and LARP, actually' lmao no fuck off with that self-aggrandising shit, we're putting on costumes and playing pretend

Let's not use language that wrongfully emulates discourse about genuine concerns RE e.g. cultural appropriation to describe how terrible it is that someone is making fun of our hobby, viz. dressing as a wizard and pretending to cast spells in the pouring rain

ahahahaha nope

I've been larping for well over a decade, I've been a ref in more than one system, and I don't give a shit about people using the language in this way. Bonus points if it a) makes me lol and b) really annoys the subject of the slang usage

When putting squirty cream on something, e.g. a hot chocolate, do you squirt the additional treat cream you are obviously going to have a) onto a spoon first or b) directly into the mouth

Ah, I see it's 'we don't understand the value of the arts' discourse again. Hey ho.

I absolutely cannot justify spending the amount of money it would cost to get a particular perfume and yet it is possibly one of the nicest I have ever found

Ta, I don't mind a downer ending too much a) if it's earned and b) in games, so not as much of an issue here

I haven't watched it yet, but I did see a clip of the one the ghosts while Guy was watching it, and actually had that 'oo err what if it cane up the STAIRS no THANK YOU' moment at like 3am while going to the loo

This website would genuinely be so much better if there was a special Discover tab for Americans that only show them posts by other Americans so the rest of us stop getting aggro from their most brain fried centrists who seem genuinely bewildered by context and angry that other places exist

Sorry folks we're not allowed talk about politics in our respective countries because america is in bits or something

What's your favourite halloween-season films? I want to expand my horror knowledge. I'm not *great* with zombies unless there is an element of humour, hugely downer endings can send me into a spiral, I live ghost stories (especially Japanese horror), but otherwise, go for it

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.
