- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 1 week ago:
I love spicy foods and they don’t upset my stomach. Though I did eat one of those “one chip challenge” things back in the day and I did fine at the time but the next two days or so I felt like I had been poisoned. Only time that ever happened to me. You probably have a threshold too but it’s just very high. Genetics and practice helps, your gut biome critters are probably used to it too.

Because alignment of your physical and mental self is very gratifying. Ask trans folks. The problem, I think, is chasing an unattainable self image and trying to fix what’s inside by changing what’s outside.
Personally, I find the idea of changing my appearance surgically for beauty standards rather distasteful, but I am a person who has always been pretty confident and comfortable with who I am. Cosmetic surgery as you describe it in general strikes me as vain and bougie, and ultimately just makes everyone look the same, which I feel strongly about. Don’t get me started on these face filters.
All that said, I have tattoos and whatnot that others might find distasteful but they make me feel more like who I really am and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I support (and engage in) all sorts of gender-affirming behaviors meant to change my appearance though, so maybe I’m a hypocrite?
I once met a man who had functionally turned himself into a cat, via surgery. Screw in whiskers, lip bifurcation and cheek implants, everything. He was a nice guy, very kind and surprisingly shy given how much he worked to stand out. That’s how he was most comfortable and I respect that. I liked him a lot better than the gaggle of rich blonde moms who all had the exact same faces that I see at the mall or whatever.
Everybody should look the way they want to look. I guess maybe make sure you keep up the insides too, lest you mistake a lake of spirit for a lack of beauty.

- Comment on DAN DA DAN Season 1 Was America's Most Watched Anime Series For 18 to 49 Year Olds, Says Nielsen Data 3 weeks ago:
Does Solo Leveling have an episode early on where it suddenly gets better or something? I watched like 6 episodes and it’s just violent and boring, I couldn’t stick with it. Everybody sucks and even the leveling trope isn’t used very interestingly. It’s so well regarded though, I don’t get the appeal.
The first 6 episodes of Gurren Lagann suck mostly, though, and then from ep 7 it’s a masterpiece, so I guess it happens.

I disagree, I want working actors to get paid. I will always take Maurice LaMarche over an AI Orson Welles. Just get that YouTube Grocery Vader guy like they did for Force Unleashed, he’s great.

Can we all just agree that Abridged is the best way to rewatch the show? Abridged Vegeta is my spirit animal.

C’mon Tien? K Dog would hose him. Destructo Disc his three-eyed ass in half. But yeah the robots and the half-Saiyans don’t count, that’s cheating.

- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 1 month ago:
Saw Thunderbolts in theaters, better than the last few of these MCU movies. I liked it.
Also rewatched all of Henry Selleck’s movies, except for Wendell and Wild which I need to watch tonight, which is
- Nightmare Before Christmas
- James and the Giant Peach
- Monkeybone
- Coraline
Coraline is a masterpiece, especially in 3D. I broke out my Index HMD to watch it, which was fun.

I have a role of these. My girlfriend at the time bought a couple and proceeded to put them on my toothbrush, several knives, and a bunch of my tools. They’re almost never not funny.
- Comment on What causes individual variation in what animals you like? 1 month ago:
Brains are often irrational. I have a deep distrust of the electric can opener; I’m always worried it will bite me or something. I have had this irrational fear since I was very young. I have no experience with anyone being harmed by an electric can opener and I’m unaware of any instances of them causing injuries, ever. I know, rationally, that there’s no danger. But fuck that thing.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 1 month ago:
I rewatched all 4 Matrix movies over the weekend. I still think Resurrections is very good, and Revolutions is better than people give it credit for. Battle for Zion is too long though.

I met Maurice LeMarche at comic con way back in maybe 2002 or so at the Futurama panel and got him to record the Brain’s “Yes!” And also “Oh, what luck! I’ve got a French fry caught in my beard!” as Orson Welles from the Critic onto my Palm Pilot, lol. Used them as ringtones for years. Very nice guy.

Isn’t the “Rainbow Six Universe” just, like, the regular world? I haven’t played an R6 game in more than a decade, but I remember the draw being realism.

- Comment on The pilot episode of Futurama 'Space Pilot 3000' premiered 26 years ago today on March 28, 1999. 2 months ago:
I was 13 and The Simpsons were very important to me and my best friend at the time, we were big comedy nerds. We were stoked for this show, I think we went to his house to see the premiere. It didn’t disappoint, and Futurama continues to be my favorite show of all time. That friend ended up being a reasonably successful comedy writer, unlike me, lol.
Feels like a long time ago now. Oh, I made myself sad.
