My love language is Acts of Fandom. If I say "the widow" and you know I mean "the old lady in my building I don't like" because you've been keeping up on drl lore, that's love baby.
@brokebackboys Did you do anything different than normal?
I was learning to shuffle cards with one hand ~8-9 years ago and realized once while practicing that I had been watching a movie AND NOTHING ELSE for over 90 minutes.
Turns out, my hand NEED to be busy to shut up my brain.
@cocainechippy@BigMeanInternet But what are you gaining arguing about it? What will you win from pursuing this convo? What if his opinion is he thinks video games make ppl combative in situations it doesn’t matter and you’re just affirming that? Do you want him to feel differently or to listen to you disagree?
@cocainechippy@BigMeanInternet I do (seriously) spend time thinking about his view and why I disagree but that’s a good thing. I don’t need to agree with EVERYTHING ppl I generally respect say. (Plus we’re both pro Music in Public, so he can’t be all bad)
@cocainechippy@BigMeanInternet It doesn’t seem odd to you that in addition to the 3 hours you also spend parts of your free time defending your hobby? Like, it’s ok for people to think you’re a loser. You can decide not to care. I olay video games, and Malcolm’s opinion on this doesn’t exactly change my life.
My priest: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “Holy Grail War” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯
Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.
5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw a servant in the forest
My buddy Tohsaka pacing: the church is lying to us
I saw this movie in theaters with my mother when I was 14 because we both saw a spaceship on the poster and assumed it would be like Star Trek.
It was not like Star Trek.
You know how the Seinfeld Episode "The Checks" (1996) features a guy who would go from zero to wholly transfixed the moment he heard Desperado by The Eagles (1973)?
A modern Seinfeld retelling would feature a man transfixed by circa 2001 pop rock, so that's fun to think about.
@roniece_dev Yes, I too think that mangakas wishes should be respected. Definitely.
No, what I want is someone who will launch into passionate screeds about anime I know nothing about but appreciates when I nod blankly. (Weird tattoo optional)
@roniece_dev wait which is upsetting? your fullmetal preferences or the horrifying realization that the core of their being is rooted in budweiser commercials?
either way, with woman at least the trick is never matching w/ someone who mentions harry potter
“I know you see me in pictures without a mask, but whenever I go into stores or businesses I put one on. ppl work here & if I’m going to be the most pro-labor president I certainly can’t put you at risk, especially with the state of our healthcare system.”
Just imagine.
