I’m a hardcore leftist, a communist even, but I gotta say enough is enough!
I will NOT be forced to use single tail whips! I’m a die hard fan of the much more versatile flogger, and THAT’S the tool I will choose for keeping my reactionary right wing quarry slaves in line, damn it!!

welcome to the Door Monster club we have 1 joke but plenty of fun
(the 1 joke is that Kyle never sleeps)
- Comment on Women and the Men Who Write Them (Door Monster) 2 weeks ago:
Kyle! :D
Been a Doormonster fan since they had the questionable channel name (lol). Kyle tells it like it is, as both a writer and a feminist. A lot of people balk at hearing cis dudes criticize bad female character writing because “how could they really understand,” but Kyle even acknowledges that (the answer is have literally more than 0 empathy lol)
at the very least I’m one gal who can vouch for Kyle’s understanding here. he gets it. good on him.

thanks for the writeup! I dislike straws but am going to try using them for a few days to see if I notice a difference, alongside the bottle trick.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 weeks ago:
wait, i might have this problem. would you be able to describe or link to a guide on fixing it?
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 weeks ago:
iron and sulfur compounds in tap water, or even some more “neutral” ones that are even in bottled water (like carbonates and magnesium), can have a really revolting taste to people who are sensitive to them
I have a friend who is so sensitive to sulfur that she had to rinse her drinking cups with filtered water before using them, just to remove the traces left by washing with tap water from the area we lived in
don’t let anyone tell you you’re crazy or overreacting. also, give distilled water a try. no, it’s not bad for you like people say–your highly acidic stomach is perfectly capable of handling the osmotic shift when drinking distilled.

the monkey’s paw curls a finger. now, only people that particular genie considers “not an idiot” can be politicians. shame that the intellect evaluation of a several thousand year old supernatural entity who spends most of his time sleeping in a lamp don’t exactly line up with most modern people’s…

Strength/athletics check.
Success: you kill the person. The coordinator presses a button and a smart restraining net robot launches from the ceiling and pins you down. “Congratulations! You’ve been identified as a prime candidate for a military career. You’re going to need that pay boost, because unfortunately we’ll have to charge part of that technician’s reconstruction fee to your tab.” You feel a needle pierce your neck and your vision goes dark.
Failure: The technician manages to pin you down until a smart restraining net is deployed to hold you. “Congratulations! You’ve been identified as a prime candidate for a law enforcement career. We like that kind of fighting spirit for keeping criminals off our streets.” You feel a needle pierce your neck and your vision goes dark.

“Welcome back! ReLife Corporation has spared you from the afterlife! Your reconstruction fee is a mere 450,000,000 credits. Please proceed to the Debt Servicers department and then the career fair down the hall!”
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 4 weeks ago:
plastic can be oversimplified into “usually biologically inert molecule chains” (polymers) held together by “usually NOT biologically inert accessory molecules” (plasticizers, fillers, etc.)
BPA is a pretty well-known “fucks you up” plasticizer, hence it being banned for some applications and “BPA-free” marketing taking off (fun fact we’re still figuring out how badly BPA replacements, most being very similar molecules, are fucking us up and to what extent)
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 4 weeks ago:
I’m vaguely qualified (biochem degree) to say it’s probably possible
that being said there’s just a lot of stuff in nature easier to eat than plastic so if some kind of plasticphagic microbe starts causing issues it’ll likely be somewhere otherwise very inhospitable, like near the poles or in space, where there’s not much else in the way of metabolizable carbon sources
which, lol. imagine going on an Antarctic or space mission and your fucking PPE starts fermenting lmao good luck
or the ocean might become so horribly poisinous that everything dies and after microbes eat all the dead biomass and then each other, then they start eating the plastic 😬

- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 4 weeks ago:
I also have not dropped any of my phones once in the past ~10 years.
I am in fear and awe. I put in incredible mental and physical effort not to drop my devices yet have managed to drop and break about half of them (while they were in cases, too).
On the upside it forced me to learn basic electronics repair lol

Yeah, Sucker Punch is definitely problematic to say the least. A lot of people said it tried to do girl power and ended up just being a neckbeard fantasy, and I can’t earnestly argue against that. That being said it was visually fun, the fantasy/reality dichitomy and “what’s actually real?” was interesting even if not perfectly executed, and what the hell, I was a nerdy gay teenager when I first watched it so of course I was gonna enjoy steampunk schoolgirl ninjas kicking ass.
