I think Weird Al Yankovic would be the perfect opponent. The absurdity of a political debate where Trump spouts absolute nonsense in a perfectly serious manor while Al lays serious facts in the most nonsensical form would be the show of the century and weird Al has better qualifications for the job by trumps standards having maintained cultural relevancy and financial stability for 4 decades. Plus he’s jest super likeable.

That depends on whether or not I can be a Bender. Culturally I think I’d be better suited as an air nomad, it fits my wanderlust and passive lifestyle. Otherwise the earth Kingdom, especially if I could be an earth bender.

There’s a similar episode in the twilight zone that could be interpreted as this too, but I’d like to play with it a bit. As an otherworldly entity it doesn’t play by human rules, imagine a gang thinking their just bumping off some cleaned up junky that’s gone straight and all of a sudden they’re being stalked through a mirror realm by a nightmare abomination who periodically dips out to take it’s estranged kids to therapy and volunteer at the community garden.

A doppelganger of sorts replaces a character, but it’s entirely for the better. Despite being an unearthly monstrosity, it’s well meaning, good intentioned and has everyone’s best in mind. Unfortunately this isn’t seen as a good thing by the crowd the original ran with, and those who find out are at a crux between liking the person and fearing the monster.

I’d argue Batman’s equally bad, it’s interesting that he’s not super by the definition everyone wide uses, but trauma an only carry you so far

Superman is such a single note character that the good things that came out of his existence can all be counted on one hand. I get that he was foundational to the concept of superheros, but it shows in this day and age.

I will say the monologue in justice league while he’s slapping around Darkside is immaculate though.

There are sea snails living near volcanic vents that metabolize the extra iron into shells and plating. I expect we’ll see a similar adaptation at some point. Simple organisms issuing plastic in some sort of process that toughens their shells. If left unchecked we may see an evolutionary leap as more things adapt, and a die off as plastic becomes a finite resource. Future generations may argue the merits of artificially supporting the microplastic ecosystem in the same vein that we argue about reducing it.

This guy knows his pens, don’t buy them from that link though, dollar tree has them for $1.25

It’s a buck 25 now, but you can get two Inc brand R2 pens at dollar tree. They’re the only thing I’ve written with for nearly a decade now. They’re a smooth ballpoint with a slight bleed in 0.7 making your penmanship look bold, smooth, and steady. Everything my handwriting lacks. They now make a 0.5 and is equally as clean but far better for smallest script. One pen lasts me about 6 months of regular writing.

Must’ve been some strong jack…

I’d accept the structures within what we define as food being a social construct. Status as fruit or vegetable doesn’t qualify it is healthy as we tend to assume. A potato is a plant and it has more in common with a loaf of bread, a yellow banana has less good in it than a Snickers bar.

Food in total though, that’s a defined thing. Glass isn’t food because we’ve agreed as a society not to eat it, it’s not food because we can’t process it in any meaningful way.

I want two things from star wars, lightsaber fights and mandalorians. The pre-quals are the best source of both.

Don’t get me stated on how fucking dumb it is that everyone everywhere just immediately turns to murder. Crime isn’t something I have a problem with, so when I say I’ve never committed a murder it’s not because the pesky laws are stopping me. I just genuinely don’t see the need to kill someone. But no, everyone and their mom is going full zodiac all day all night if it went for laws!

I actually stumbled across it in Highschool looking to see if there was any precedence for videogame chaos magic in history and it ended up being a big influence on me. The concept of cosmic truth being unattainable was a huge existential relief, I don’t have to strive for any greater than I need.

The idea that all spiritual practice is arbitrary rules fueled only by the beliefs of the practitioners helps me more in my practical life than spiritually. When you really stop to look at it, so many stressors are just internalized arbitrary rules. I can run a race and choose what place I want to be in, I don’t have to choose first place.

I already develop a defined pattern during summer when my outer arms, legs, and back tan significantly faster and darker then my inner and chest regardless of how much sun I get. I think I’d like the same style but with a defined color difference, like Nigerian on the outside and Polish on the inside. Though if I got to pick Unnatural colors I’d go for charcoal grey outside and porcelain inside. Really accent my natural affinity for tattoos.

I’m just gonna ruin it for 90% of the replies here and drop the unusual articles page. It will have pretty much everything.

Also Chaos Magic is a wild ride.

State mandated fun!

Don’t Do Crimes

Judges hate him for this one easy trick!

There a lemmy spot for that? I found the data hoarding community on reddit just before they killed 3rd party apps and have been wanting to find my people again since.

How does Finland handle naturalization? I’m not well off by any measure but I’m more than happy to jump through every hoop to get out of my shit hole nation.
