Honestly at this point I would suck it up and vote for her too u_u

The Democrat party ironically won’t have any reason to actually compete UNTIL the GOP dies completely because they would be forced to confront their internal progressive vs chud factions, which would split into their own two new political parties.

we could have had Bernie, except Warren was a backstabbing scumbag. oh well. we got what we deserved: suffering.

Staying hydrated is known to increase performance.

Oh! Thank you for the context!

DefCon Stages:
5 - “I’m here, ain’t I?”
4 - “ain’t dead yet.”
3 - “it is what it is”
2 - “I’m not gonna lie to you”
1 - “…don’t worry about it”

Implying that if you said “i’m (fine/ok/alright/good/etc)” would be a lie.

I greatly appreciate the context, thank you! Just a fun coincidence XD

At 17 seconds … Did that person say BAZINGA?

Either way, an excellent use of explosives :3

Ha good fucking luck charging an early cancellation fee to the VIRTUAL CARD I GENERATED AND DESTROYED THE MOMENT I DECIDED TO STOP PUTTING UP WITH YOUR SHITTY “SERVICE”! FUCK you, Adobe. You get NOTHING from me.

They’re sure giving EA a run for their money universally despised revulsion…

MapMen. I still rewatch some of their ad skits just because they were catchy and fun.

No Biomass Left Behind!!! XD

Sounds like opossums will eat anything there is (or might be) nutrition in…

Let’s make a deal:

You go ahead and try to get close enough to a clutch of goose eggs that you can incubate them to hatching;

I’ll point and laugh as their parents and all the other geese in the entire flock swarm you in a solid frenzied wall of honking, hissing, biting, bludgeoning, implacable white-hot incandescent fury.

You are proposing to fuck with a force of nature, my friend. I can’t stop you. But they can. X3

goodness how i wish there was a weird possum girl in my locality

i would buy her lunch

not to eat with her as some creepy implied commitment to a date but because free food is an appropriate gift for opossum enthusiasts and I am just as happy for her to enjoy it without me if she so chooses.

(but to be fair i would prefer if she’d join me so i can listen to her talk about opossum facts)

Oppossoms are better than merely smart. They eat HELLA PEST INSECTS!

now, Geese…

Geese are fiercely protective of their families and flocks and are amazing at guarding territory; they cannot be bribed or ingratiated. In brazil, a prison has provided a habitat for geese around the facility between the inner fence and the outer wall which has been surprisingly effective at discouraged escape attempts.

okay but how DO you actually get creamy soup that doesn’t have cream in it?

it has in fact been a delightful creative aid for brainstorming fiction, actually!

The things are fantastic at “yes-and” improvisation and extrapolating from a premise.

If I want to build a world and populate it with loosely defined ‘impressionistic’ background info that doesn’t necessarily require fully fledged lore that interconnects, it can do a great job at showing where the lore could go if i decided to explore there. It’s great at suggesting character names, place names, and ways to fill in blanks that make it easier for me to pick or reject individual elements.

In a story idea I’ve been marinating for a while, one character possesses advanced medical knowledge in a world where germ theory, medicine, and surgery never developed because people had access to ‘healing magic’. The problem is, healing magic works on all organisms - including parasites, bacteria, and cancer, which means trying to ‘heal’ someone with an infection makes the infection worse because the pathogens benefited from the healing magic.

I asked AI to extrapolate more detail about this character’s background and it suggested that his father was the village healer and simply didn’t mention his mother at all.

Those two little details exploded in my imagination as an entire history of emotional conflict:
His mother fell ill with a bacterial infection that magic couldn’t fix when he was too little to do anything about it even though he knew what was wrong and how to help her, and so he blamed himself.
His ‘strange ideas’ about physiology, epidemiology, and concepts like hygiene and medicine put him at odds with the traditional teachings his father, and made the other people in his village view him as a ‘problem child’.
This led him to be quiet and withdrawn until he befriends the protagonist, and it is her falling ill when the same disease that killed his mother that motivates him to try again with the rudimentary resources he was able to secretly scrape together since.

(this is an ‘isekai inversion’ where all the reincarnators are disillusioned and discouraged, and the protagonist is a native of that world who travels around finding them, putting them in touch with one another, and motivating them to pursue their specializations again. A nuclear engineer, for instance, won’t be able to get much done in a world where the scientific method hasn’t been codified, manufacturing doesn’t exist let alone precision machining, and chemistry has not clawed its way to distinction out of the vague, secretive, formless depths of alchemy)
