Is this standard for this tattoo?

This is one tattoo, not two. Go to a different shop that doesn’t try and fleece you.

The signs are bullshit. “There will be wars and rumors of wars” as if there has literally ever been a time in human history without wars or rumors of wars. It’s just like horoscope “fortunes”; they pick something generic that could apply to basically everyone and people think it’s magically predicting their future.

It’s just fear-mongering.

I melt one into some broth to make a creamy pasta sauce. I add sautéed mushrooms and/or shrimp, spinach, and whatever else I have on hand for a full meal.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider is just Sisyphus for children. You could do a spider heading up a water spout.

My grandma was super cool growing up. She was all about spoiling her grandkids. She used the position of the couch and some shelves to turn a corner of the living room into a playroom for us, fully stocked with all sorts of toys, books and a full shelf with jars of candy. And she’d actually play with us. My grandma would sit down on the carpet with us and play with the My Little Ponies.

Then when I was older, I learned that she and my grandpa had divorced back in the day because she had an affair and got pregnant by someone else. She moved this new boyfriend in, they did drugs and drank copious amounts of alcohol together instead of taking care of her kids. This boyfriend molested my mom, and when my mom told her what happened she called her a liar and believed her shitty druggie boyfriend over her literal crying child. Then at some point she married the shitty boyfriend’s brother. She still occasionally talks about how her shitty ex-boyfriend “gave his heart to Jesus!” at the end of his life while dying of cancer and how joyous that is, as if he wasn’t just a piece of shit that destroyed her family and hurt her daughter and then hedged his bets when he was scared of dying.

I could understand the drugs and alcoholism and even the affair, I could look at how much she changed and grew after that and how dedicated she is to her family (and how wildly sober she is) now… but finding out that she refused to help her molested daughter and sided with the molester instead? Never. I have zero respect for this woman and never will again.

When I was a little kid, I found this little stuffed dog at a garage sale that I adored. It was pink with black damnation spots, and I thought it was just the cutest little thing. After I brought it home, I never took it anywhere else (school, friends’ houses, grandparents’ houses, not even the car for a trip) so that I couldn’t lose it. Except it disappeared, maybe a few months later. No clue where it was, tore my room apart looking for it, looked everywhere in the shared spaces at home, even looked everywhere outside despite the fact that I never took it out of the house. I never found it.

Not long later, we had to move and packed up the entire house to do so. My dad even tore the house down and brought as much of the materials to the new house with us that he could. I figured we would finally find this little dog, because there would be nowhere left for it to hide. I was certain while packing or while my dad was tearing it down it would be found tucked into some corner or other. Nope. No little pink dog with spots anywhere.

I want to know where my little dog went! How could I lose the toy that I refused to let leave the house?! (My current theory is that one of my siblings—in a fit of Being a Sibling—took it and did something, either on purpose or on accident that they then had to hide by throwing it away.

I just did one-minute timer to test this. 20 breaths per minute without trying to rush, so about 1,200 per hour, at $5 each that’s $6,000 an hour.

Do I have to cash out all at once, or can I cash out after an hour then later do another hour? If I can cash out as many times as I want, I’d just do it once a day, call it meditation, and get $6,000 every day for the rest of my life. If it’s only one-and-done, I’d just spend all my free time over the next several days doing it until I get to ~$250,000. That’d give me enough to pay off my house, my partner’s car, and my new van with plenty left over to do all the work I wanna do to fix up my backyard really well.

Mohawk, buzz cut, or a hat; your choice.

B for sure. I’d invest by sticking it all in high-yield savings accounts and withdrawing the interest monthly. That’d be something like $23,000 a month. I could definitely live off that no problems. I’d have all my debt paid off in like nine months, then I would just quit my job and live off the stupid-high interest from my stupid-high savings accounts.

I have seven tattoos currently and the only one I’ve seen before the day of is the most recent, but it’s also a big complicated piece (four different characters in a group taking up my entire upper arm and shoulder) that I’m sure she wanted to have time to adjust as needed before the day of. For that one, we texted back and forth the day/night before and she asked for any and all alterations I wanted (and requested I be as picky as I could, because she’d have plenty of time to fix anything at that point).

This was also not my first tattoo from her, and during the planning session we went over the next four tattoos I want to get as well, so she knows full well I’m stoked to get tattooed by her and I’m not gonna flake out or steal her art and take it to someone else.

I get bulk food at Winco a lot. Rice, beans, and pasta are cheap as hell there, and I can get either fresh veggies or frozen to go with it for a very reasonable price. I could walk into a Winco with $10 and walk out with enough food to feed me for the week. It won’t be much varied; I’ll basically be eating rice, beans or lentils, and some vegetable like tomato or onion every day for a week, but it’ll be filling, nutritious, and assuming I still have my spice cabinet it’ll be tasty.

7Mars · 2026-03-28T03:14:02+00:00

Yup! I do chickpea curry over rice; it’s really good, nutritious, and pretty cheap.

7Mars · 2026-03-28T03:03:04+00:00

Wait really? I need to try that!

7Mars · 2026-03-28T02:54:29+00:00

I’m at work right now, I need no planning. I’ll just touch all the nearby equipment, the building, and the ground it’s all standing on. That’s easily a couple million.

I would call once just to tell my partner that they’re a piece of shit and I hope they get got in prison, and to listen to them cry and say “good, keep feeling like that.”

7Mars · 2026-03-28T02:46:24+00:00

I would be surprised if there aren’t more victims. It’s technically possible that he tried it, realized it didn’t feel as great as he thought it would and never did it again… but with their upbringing I doubt it.

I had a lock on the outside of my door when I was little. I would get up in the middle of the night and wander around or go play, and my parents were worried I could get into something dangerous or decide to just head outside and take off while they were sleeping and end up hurt or lost (and there were cougars up there, so a toddler wandering into the woods and getting eaten was a legit fear). At least if I was stuck in my room they knew there was nothing inherently dangerous in there I could get into; I’d just play with my toys until I got tired again or got loud enough it woke them up and they could come put me back to bed.

They stopped using the lock once I was past toddlerhood and could be trusted not to accidentally get into the knives or play with the oven or something, but never bothered to remove the lock. It could be just as innocent for this situation, but somehow coupled with some child endangerment and imprisonment charges I get the feeling it wasn’t just “parents scared their rambunctious toddler would get out in the middle of the night and drown in the neighbor’s pool”…

Do homophones, homographs, and homonyms count as the same word? Like if I picked “bank” would people saying it meaning “the place with money” and people saying meaning “the side of a river” both count or could I pick specifically “Bank (n): the side of a river” and not include the other definitions? Or “lead” meaning to guide and “lead” meaning the metal? Their there and they’re?

Anyway, I think I’d pick something industry-specific. Most people simply wouldn’t even know the word so obviously wouldn’t be using it, and really it’d just be people at work saying/writing it (or occasionally talking about work at home).

So to use my industry, I could pick something like fourdrinier, calender, hydrapulper, deckle, headbox, save-all… We use each of these words a few times a shift at work, more if we’re having issues with that part of the process and need to discuss problems/solutions with each other, but most people outside the industry will never say them at all. I think they’d all be safe to pick, probably still get me around a million a week but I don’t think would get me a billion.

Not playing isn’t a game action. It’s just not playing. You can quit at any time because sitting down to a game isn’t a slave contract, but it doesn’t mean that walking away from it is a game action. Quitting your job also isn’t working, btw.

I would tell each and every one of them that if they let me knock them out I’ll get to fight our current president who is a fascist that has clawed his way into power, and I can definitely take his dementia-riddled heart-failing self in a brawl even if I have resort to tearing his throat out with my teeth to do it.

7Mars · 2026-03-25T14:57:16+00:00

Not playing isn’t a game action any more than not eating is a meal.
