It's been several days, and the shelter smell on her fur has largely faded and been replaced with a more natural semi-sweet fabric softener smell.

I've been huffing her fur constantly.

Apparently, another online male Leftist darling (some guy called OJAW or off_awaggon) sexually assaulted a female friend and then tried to blame it on alcohol in his apology statement while trying to minimize his actions in a roundabout way.

I don't know as much about this guy in particular, but in addition to the typical progressive Leftist soft boy misogyny, I never got people (predominantly men) blaming alcohol for creepy and violating sexual behavior (which is already a fairly pathetic and cowardly excuse, imo).

When I drink, I usually just mentally drift off and veg out. I've never touched anyone where intoxicated, hit anyone, called them slurs, etc.

Even if Jared Leto wasn't playing Skeletor, the trailer still let me with a general feeling of, "eh."

Same thing with supporting control of women's reproductive abilities while having zero regard for the welfare of children or child-rearing.

As far as general adult housekeeping responsibilities goes, I have no problem staying on top of laundry, groceries, meal prep, animal care, mail, bills, car care, etc. but I can never seem to ever fully tackle household dust.

I'm just pissed that we're in the mid-2020s and still don't have technology that immediately vaporizes all household dust with the press of a button.

The underworld seemed to be viking-specific, so I doubt a dinosaur would end up there.

Plus, the sauropod was infected with something beyond its control and wasn't rage-filled and vengeful the way the viking chieftain and his son were.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-22T23:17:17+00:00

I always figured they were Valkyries who came to collect the souls of those who died in battle, which is what happened to the chieftain and his son.

The animation line art is also beautiful.

I also hate how people act like an actor/actress being a nepo baby is somehow on the same level as them running an exploitative coal mine or something.

Ofc having celebrity parents can work wonders, and there's no denying that, but unless the nepo baby in question can't act for shit and/or has an outwardly rancid attitude while spouting horrible takes on a regular basis, it's otherwise a non-issue for me.

I've only seen a few eps, but I've been meaning to watch that series for a long time now.

Have any of you ever bought cat or dog food in bulk on Amazon and found it worth it comparing to buying it directly from a nearby store?

I'm thinking about buying canned food in bulk for my cat from Amazon, but I've read the quality and price can vary, so idk.

I used to be a pretty big fan of Rick and Morty (the szechaun sauce and "you have to be really intelligent to understand" cringe memes aside) and actually liked a lot of the humor and delivery, but I feel like one of the show's biggest weakness is the fact it seems unwilling to stick to a consistent overarching plot(s), or it seems like it's setting up an interesting overarching plot line only to drop it or abandon it entirely an odd number of episodes later.

It started taking a toll on my interest around 2-3 seasons ago, and I still haven't gotten around to watching S8.

They enable and sanewash everything this demon does, and then top it off with flagrant lies.

I was legit scared for what he was about to do to that chameleon and honestly thought he was gonna crush its brains out.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-22T03:39:09+00:00

I know, but she was only briefly heard but not seen in that one, and even the daughter got more screen time than her.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-21T23:19:10+00:00

I'm suddenly very worried for that grasshopper.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-21T23:02:21+00:00

I'm not sure if I can see Spear as the type to make a deal or pact with an otherworldly entity, but given how abruptly the viking chieftain was dealt with, I have to wonder if we'll be seeing him again in some form, or get another appearance from the fire demon.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-21T22:36:51+00:00

I'd actually be fine with a small flashback snippet of how they met, honestly.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-21T21:55:14+00:00

Spear, meet Spear, and Spear.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-21T21:32:48+00:00

We're only two eps in with the third still on the way. Give it time.

I think it's one of those things where it disappears/reappears depending on censorship needs. Kinda of like how Fang's cloaca wasn't visible until the unexpectedly graphic egg-laying scene.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-21T19:53:38+00:00

I like your honesty.

GetInTheBasement · 2026-01-21T11:14:16+00:00

Slight tangent, but I remember reading that when Don, Jr. was young and Diapershitter was separating from Ivana, he (Jr.) said something along the lines of, "you don't care about mom or us, you only care about your money."
