A tradition alive and well in certain groups of adults.

In the same vein, podcasts. With books if I'm not paying close attention I can miss important things, but with podcasts they're generally on the same topic for an hour.

Found a game I own has text and audio in my target language, so it's been a bit more fun this week. The vocab might not be so useful, but I'm getting use out of the words and their pronunciation being together.

If you are not expected, you are not welcome. I don't answer unexpected knocks anymore.

Omg it's treatable. How do you die from it? Or did the person die via the insurance system?

In a Japanese language course, students were assigned native speaker penpals. I had asked some pretty boring questions in the first letter like how old are you, what are your hobbies, etc. The teacher proofread the letters before we sent them. The feedback I got: you really don't need to ask what nationality they are, there's only one country that uses Japanese. I turned beet red on that one.

Have you seen the standard for cops? It's almost as low as priests. Screw up somewhere, just get yourself shuffled to another place if things haven't blown over by the time your paid leave is up.

Yes, satire military propaganda. They also didn't actually bring aliens on set. The aliens have a union and demanded pay that's way too high for the budget.

Can't let those boobs ruin the violence and military propaganda for the children.

Just make it well enough that you don't mind if it stays up for a bit.

Idiotectomies required the subject's corporation for the best results. Hanneman's (Journal of Medical Ethics, June 2017) breakthrough, illustrated here, uses bomb glasses to increase compliance. It is rare the fuse needs to be lit, but a lighter should be kept in plain view of the subject as both reminder and enforcement if necessary.

For less insightful stuff, may I recommend Boatmurdered, the chronicle of a succession game (one person plays a year and then passes the same file to someone else) of Dwarf Fortress:

Going to a wedding with two weeks notice with a cat theme. I had some fabric with cats on it, so I decided to make a bow tie instead of buying something new. Just used a tie I already had as the pattern. It has been so long since I've done any sewing, so 4 small pieces all the same size was perfect for where I'm at. Had a few mistakes but they're all in the back, so I'm pretty satisfied.

 

When she finally came to bed to spoon and apologize, again, we fit together oddly because she was now a foot too long.

 

By the time it was too much, I didn't have the ability to do anything about it but scream.

Mod [email protected] posted a really creepy and pro-pedophilia post at https://lemmy.cafe/post/11105990

Mod immediately bans the two people that call it out as trolls.

I didn't want her taking my other eye, too.

 

I recognized my children.

 

They had torn her apart just for fun.

 

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.
