In fact, I would much rather live in a community where a wholesome, humming orb would be a welcome sight. If people report every single ominous orb that they see, why, there would be less majesty in this world. That sounds like the kind of austere, silent community that Desert Bluffs wants to be, and do we really want that to be the place we call home, dear listener?

Wow. Nice to meet you, Cecil. Big fan. Please don’t ask me to work as an intern.

Something one might propose to build in Night Vale.

Hey. Put that shit away. I’m not experiencing a “bias” because I tried to confirm something I saw in an image macro before I got into a diatribe.

Are you okay? I’ve never seen you be this pissy on the fediverse before.

E: And because apparently it bears saying, even though I never indicated otherwise, fuck Peta. Seriously don’t know how “please make sure the thing you’re arguing about is worth arguing about” made me a Peta apologist. I’ve literally never met anyone, even online, who liked that organization.

What I find shocking is you assumed the “before” image wasn’t shopped!

I went looking for evidence it was real and just found a bunch of people claiming it was from 2008, no snopes article (which shocked me) and a bunch of people on reddit saying it was teal but very outdated and to argue about something recent.

But both of y’all saw a post that was edited and treated the “before” as real. Remarkable

That’s how I was able to recognize it!

Sounds like ADHD.

Thanks, NotSpez! Your user was the first I memorized in the fediverse!

Made me cry a lil bit. Thank you.

Given that my father has been dead for 17 years and I’m finally about to leave my husband… This for sure seems appropriate.

I have some very infuriating views that mean I’ll never publish. But thank you.

Way way back in the dark ages before adultfanfiction alienated everyone (and, in a move I would later thank them for, deleted all my stuff) I remember getting a comment that said something like,

“Stop writing short stories on this site and go write a novel. I don’t have time for this.”

Lemme tell ya, that was the most devastating thing I’d ever been told. I still laugh about it sometimes.

I imagine it was considered a strategic Tang victory even though it resulted in a loss of the city, because without the time bought by the seige, the Tang would not have been able to put down the rebellion.

Also I learned a lot today and it’s all terrible.

Vyvanse.

The reason it isn’t upgrading is Vyvanse.

If the shortage hits me, then I fear the upgrade will be me, sitting at work, staring at the “Updating your device. This make take several minutes” screen for 3 days.

I laughed.

I’m vegan, that’s where the convo in my example came from (letting my friends try my vegan butter). The vegan butter I use has like 10x the cholesterol of the dairy-based. I still eat the vegan kind by principle, but the nutrition is significantly worse.

Love this post, love the follow up!

“Try this vegan butter! It tastes so much better than regular butter!”

Later; “What is this? I have to buy it!”

“It tastes better because it’s significantly worse for you!”

I used to drink a lot of juice of Sappho when I was a younger woman and it never left a stain.

Thanks for pointing it out, too. I almost missed out on an awesome username.

'Tis a silly place.
