I read this in Grog’s voice and I high key love it. The idea of him describing “surface level themes such as nationalism” is hilarious.
And the title comment is the icing on the cake.

Yeah, my sister bought me the DVD Boxed set a few years ago for Christmas as I was a HUGE Daria fan growing up. I was a little disappointed that all the late 90s/early aughts music was gone and it was replaces by generic “pop punk” sounding music.
Still one of my comfort shows though, and the only reason I can still say I’m “using DVDs” in 2024 😂

I do contemplate the merits of having a home phone with the ringer perpetually on silent, and that being the only number I give out to places like Spirit Halloween whereas family/friends get the cell.
- Comment on Geography is neat 2 months ago:
When I was in Germany in 2022, I traveled freely around Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Czechia. I only got asked for my Passport in Switzerland, and then at the airports. Otherwise, no, you’d just be driving or on a train and the signs would change to French suddenly.
I loved it. I wish we fucking would relax our shit in the US. It was hella neat.

Right?! It’s such a creepy pic! Kinda gives me the same vibe as the OG smiledog.jpg (not the over exposed one - that one I always found silly)
- Comment on Giving someone oral is the most intimate thing you can do for someone. (IMO) 2 months ago:
Honestly, I think this could be true. There’s definitely something to be said about willingly putting yourself in a vulnerable position with someone you feel safe with, for the sole purpose of their pleasure and nothing else. However, there’s definitely a balance. If my husband demanded blow jobs every day or something, I’d probably get the “ick” from him and not want to do it. But since he’s never been the one to be demanding about anything sexual, I do actually love making him feel good like that.
Sometimes I’ll make it hella silly and we’ll be sitting on the couch and I’ll just say something stupid like “GO GET ON THE BED KING, ITS TIME TO GET YOUR DICK SUCKED!” And he’ll roll his eyes and blush but I also see the corner of his mouth quirk into a small smile and I know he’s just like “She’s thinking of me.” And it gives me all the warm fuzzies. I also saw a meme once that said “LEMME STRESS EAT THAT DICK”, and that’s one that I’ve whipped out a time or two that makes him snort. Yeah, I’m goofy, not every time, but sometimes, because we’ve been married for 14 years this year and I just like to see him grin.
That being said, I also fucking love when he wants to take care of my needs out of nowhere too. There’s something amazing about just knowing someone is invested in your pleasure.

Man, OPs caption unlocked a core memory I have of calling my high school boyfriend at 858 pm, and talking on the phone with him for about 2.5 hours before he got notified that he was under 10 mins left for the month.
We had thought he was only going to lose 2 of his minutes 😭.
- Comment on Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name. 2 months ago:
Huh. I didn’t know that meant. 5 year old me was definitely a fan of naming my Barbies “Brook”, so I’ve suffered a lack of taste since the beginning it seems
- Comment on Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name. 2 months ago:
Haha bruh that’s aight. I’m actually a treasure trove of traits to make fun of!
Fortunately I’m child-free so no human ever has to bear the weight of my creative naming conventions…only my D&D/RP/Video Game characters have to suffer.
- Comment on Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name. 2 months ago:
Ngl, I find some of these Hella cute. But I’m also someone who loves creative/unique names (to a point). I don’t like offensive/obvious sponsorship/stupid joke names (the infamous “Ladasha” spelled “La-A” or “Absidy” spelled “ABCDE”)
But I think Rocklyn and Brexleigh are adorable names for little girls! I’d probably spell it Brexley though.
Then again, when I was growing up I liked the name "Huxley’ as a gender-neutral name for a future child, so, do with that what you will
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 5 months ago:
Oh it is. It’s exploded like CRAZY in the past 10 years and it just keeps expanding outward instead of upward. City planners definitely designed this place to be the epitome of “urban sprawl”.
For real though, if I had it my way, we’d live within 5-8 miles of where I work and I’d bike every day it wasn’t raining.
Next duty station though! We’re gonna buy/rent closer to the base, wherever that is!
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 5 months ago:
Bruh I live 26 miles from where I work by car, and 21 miles by biking per Google Maps. And most of it is highway travel. It would make my commute over 1.5 hrs.
It is the dream if/when we can move closer though.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 5 months ago:
Ugh, I cannot say enough good things about that game! Top notch story!
I went into it completely blind, but even if you’ve seen some game play, there are so many choices and endings that you’ll end up surprised no matter what! Everyone that I’ve gushed about it to gushed back if they’ve played it already!
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 5 months ago:
Suuuuper late to the game, but a few weeks ago my husband talked me into playing Detroit: Become Human (I shy away from Sci Fi games so I knew nothing about it/was hesitant to play).
Holy shit. That may have been some of the best fucking writing I’ve ever seen in a game.
It also got me really turned on to those butterfly effect/QTE games! I finished Little Hope by the Dark Pictures Anthology in one night (last Friday), and I’m in the middle of Man of Medan right now. The writing isn’t as good, but they’re still Hella fun and quirky!
If anyone else has any reccs for the Butterfly effect/QTE style games, I’m mad obsessed enough and will most definitely play it!

I just really don’t know how the mandatory training sessions doesn’t solve the problem for everyone.
People who are ACTUALLY dedicated to raising these dogs will still get them. Those who would end up as shitty owners won’t bother with the hassle.
Dogs get a better owner; owners get a better dog. Win-win all around.
I grew up with Rottweilers, which were the “pitbulls” of the 90s. I have had 2 Dobermans, one sleeping next to me right now, and they were the “pitbulls” of the 80s.
I fail to see how extermination is the answer when we have other methods available.
- Comment on Sophie's choice 70s edition 5 months ago:
They think that they’re making a clever point. Of course larger dogs are inherently more dangerous than tiny dogs. No one is disputing that.
But to advocate for the complete wiping out of an entire breed versus mandatory training classes for owners is an insane answer.
Make “dangerous breeds” more difficult to get, sure. I agree with that. But I can NOT with the “wipe out all pitbull/rotties/dobermans/GSDs/etc”
- Comment on Headlines be like 5 months ago:
Ooohhh have you about buying a band and wearing it on a chain around your neck instead? I know people who work with machinery do that to avoid their rings getting caught on the equipment.
I’ve always thought it was kind of sweet because now your ring hangs close to your heart everyday!

Last time I checked
- Comment on Everything to keep disguise 8 months ago:
Right? These comments are wild. I used to browse r/dogfree because I thought it was (mostly) satire and OTT on purpose, and I’d laugh at a lot of it. I thought it was parodying something else.
Every once in a while there’d be stories that made me empathize and feel bad for the person, like some people were saying that they had severe debilitating allergies and they couldn’t frequent their favorite restaurants anymore because pet patios were installed - yeah that sucks.
Some stories were even straight up super sad, like people who were traumatized from being bitten/attacked earlier on in their lives. Yeah - I’d probably be wary of dogs too if that happened to me.
But the vast majority of those comments were like “OMG DOGS STINK AND THEY SLOBBER EVERYWHERE. HOLY SHIT THEY LICK THEIR NUTS LOL FUCK DOGS AMIRIGHT?! THEY POOP ON THE FLOOR - GROSS.” I genuinely thought those were purposeful parody stories because hating dogs for just existing is such a…weird stance.
Apparently it’s a thing though 🤷♀️.
- Comment on You had unrestricted access to the internet as a child, didn't you? 8 months ago:
That’s me as well. A bunch of my friends could handle watching the murder and dismemberment of other people. I’ve never been able to. Not unless I know for sure it’s fake (like in a horror movie, that kind of gore is fine). I’ve never had a desire to see any sort of “snuff film”. Hell I did see the hanging of Saddam video, and I still looked away.
That being said, I have seen 2 Girls One Cup, and the One Man One Jar video. But I’d advise against both. Neither of those are sad, just revolting.

That makes me kinda sad actually, but the reality is, you could be right.
It’s a pretty hard thing to wrestle with the idea of sobriety if someone can’t imagine living their life that way. I get it. I’m a partier at heart who always wants to be out and about with people socializing, and the bar is the easiest place to gather other adults.
Hopefully if they are someone who wants to cut back, (and can do so safely), they take a peek in and see that it’s not meant to be judgey. If someone checks in for a day or two and not the next, no one is coming after anyone/shaming anyone/questioning anyone. Just come back the next time you don’t wanna drink. It’s that low threat and chill.
I’m a verbose individual so I write novels, but most folks are legit just like “Not drinking today”, and leave it at that. Whatever works, right?

Meh, fuck the downvotes. Its an important daily post in an important community. I really enjoy the accountability it provides.
But is not gonna be for everyone. Most people are normies who are good with never drinking or only have one or two every few weeks at best.
Maybe they just want it off their homepage. Who knows?
