It should be a “hard ts” which is something we mostly picked up from the French that is also a sound used in Japanese. So there should be a difference between saying “tsu” and saying “sue.”
Tsu should be pronounced with teeth together and pushing air out through the teeth first, tongue against the lower front teeth for the hissy-t sound, before the vowel. (it’s hard to write how to pronounce a word)

Sure thing - I’m always curious what happened to people in stuff like this. Are they still alive and mortified about this? Are their grandkids into it? Don’t know until you look.

Let’s all have a moment of silence for Phyllis. Gone too soon, she got messed up by a horse and the cops, and was probably just trying to have a good time with the Devil’s lettuce. At peace, she rests in the shade of a mighty tree that’s probably just a touch more Phyllis than we would like to think about.

Giraffes have the same number of neck vertebrae as you and me, the bones are just much longer.
An actual giraffe centaur with human torso from the animal’s chest up would just be a long-legged spotty horse centaur.

- Comment on How did Greek or Roman choose their gods besides the big name ones? I mean did they have a god of shoes, god who relieves constapation, or one for there squeaky door? 4 days ago:
OP, this is the most correct answer. Then the gods from the goat herders and gods of the sailors and gods of the farmers ended up sort of getting glued together into responsibility groups, and then get names, so sure, there was a god of vines and grapes and wine, which was likely just the general “please god bless my vines” god for the area where lots of people grew vines and made wine.
There are similar practices among animist peoples in Sun-Saharan Africa, where local cults are just how people still do things, with their local gods for the village or the cluster of villages.
Also worth knowing is that when Greeks and Romans traveled, they didn’t say “we have a god of war, and it’s Aries, and your gods are false and that’s the end of the conversation.” They would show up and say “What do you call the god of war? We call him Aries.”

In a plastic tub by a guy in a tank top at a store that sells more than 1 product with “swole” in the name?

To be fair, the anti-malarial drug Meflaquine/Larium does the same thing to people a bit after you take it.
- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 weeks ago:
There are bioaccumulative toxins, but nothing over the counter sold in a plastic tub by some guy in a tank top will get rid of them. And some, like lead, have symptoms that are not reversible. Lead poisoning is a lifelong condition. So a magical “detoxifying” shoe insole or smoothie additive isn’t going to do much. I think @nightshade@piefed.social 's point remains that any toxins that stay in the body are either gone for good after a short time, or there to stay.

He can be apolitical in public, and I wish more idiot celebrities would be. You and I don’t need to know his politics. It doesn’t help anything in the grand scheme of things.
- Comment on Question, Star Trek fans: What makes Captain Kirk a good leader? 3 weeks ago:
100% agree that he’s a very bad leader. That wasn’t his role, his role was arrogant, risk-taking playboy. Keep in mind that the TOS years were the late 60s. TOS ran at the same time as the Smothers Brothers, Green Acres, and Bewitched. Arrogant, risk-taking playboy is a prime white male media main character trope that spans generations and decades. No one likes an asshole - unless it’s YOUR asshole, then it can get shit all over and you expect someone else to clean it up. Kirk broke rules, did whatever, fought everyone and banged everyone else, and always came away a winner. THAT was his role.
Even for the TOS movies, they tone him down into a “leader” a bit and it’s really just being the guy everyone has to listen to. It’s an ensemble of subordinates who largely do whatever, he barks demands, and because it’s a movie/show, they’re always working towards the same goal and get the job done.

Nah. Delete account and then came back on a new instance. Or it’s someone that saw we, as a group, love that brand of shitposting and decided to cosplay her. Either way, it’s good shitposting and I enjoy it, so I’m glad SOMEONE is doing it again.
