I haven’t finished it yet, but yeah what a lovely surprise of a show!! Delightfully light and sexy, but the dark humor hits in just the right ways. A lot of it seemed to be dancing around hidden desires, and the tension between social/cultural norms.

Ah, yes. The 6th elemental stone.

Very Onionesque.

Fo real tho, difficulty in some games is more of an add on than a core mechanic. FromSoft weave difficulty into the narrative of their games in a way that is just so deliciously painful. More please.

Finding joy in the small things. The way my dog stretches, smiling at a stranger, smelling a flower, a nice cup of coffee, a smile from a stranger, etc. Making the time and going out of my way for these small moments of joy is important to me.

Thank you

Hmmmm what are your thoughts on this? I thought it was interesting and very opinionated. The authors are definitely clear on their stance. I’ll admit, I skimmed bits and read others, but it felt more like this essay was comprised of things they just wanted to get off their chest and not a means to try and sway any detractors. Which maybe was the point, but it left me wanting.

Sorry, I’m not trying to make a factual argument. You are 100% accurate, if I actually came across a bear I would probably be killed. It’s a thought experiment, think along the lines of Schrodeinger’s cat. It’s an unknowable quantity: is this man going to hurt me, is he going to be nice? Is this bear going to maul me, is this bear going to ignore me? Point being, when some people see an unknown male I can understand why some would react as if they came across a large predator in the woods. All hypothetical, but again it’s a social commentary about the deep-seated fear of males. Which is sad.

I’ll talk more about this through dms if you’d like.

Really? I don’t think it’s reinforcing the patriarchy. I think it’s pretty funny, a satirical commentary on the unfortunate truth that most people don’t feel safe around males. Like, bruh, I’m a dude, but I’d rather see a bear than another man if I was on a solo backpacking trip.

Yeah, if you figure it out please let me know. But maybe that’s the point? Nothing to figure out 🤔

That would definitely fit with the shitpost theme

Nice! I just started the mushroom version of this 🤓

Thank you! I definitely need to grab a copy

Does anyone know what book(s) these are from?

Never have, but my assumption is that the concentrated flavor from the long steep time would mask any slight change the hot water might add. However, could be fun to have a thing of extra concentrated cold brew and a separate thing of hot water prepared coffee and combine the two before drinking. Play around with the ratios a bit to find the dopest mixture 🤌

How about… “Fuck it, we ball!” ?

Yep

Nothing. Most boring rando number ever.

Sent a text, haven’t heard back yet.

I have no memory of this place…

Fuck yeah!!

Bro…
