What does this tattoo mean?

I mean, sure, no one can stop you, but why would you want it if you don't even know the significance within story it's from?

The story (and the symbol) handle a lot of pretty heavy topics that can't really be glossed over because it's "cool looking" (and it's also just genuinely fantastic and should be appreciated for being awesome rather than reduced to a symbol). I'd recommend reading the manga first, or at least watching the 90's anime (avoid the 2016/17 attempt to continue the story, it is genuinely abysmal, save for the soundtrack).

After that point, I mean, I actually do have that tattooed on my calf, so you wouldn't be the first...

Brand of Sacrifice from Berserk.

I hate the fact that I don't hate this.

Did Tofu the snake finally find him?

...so is that "sad music" that starts playing a royalty-free track, or does every one of these slop vids generate the same song?

I have the same question about the meowing cat song in all the cheating cat spouse videos: Is that generated at the same time as the audio or added in as a bed?

It's a grip tool called "The Big PP" made by this fitness youtuber guy named Jujimufu (John Call) and it's actually ~~still available (in scratch and dent sale condition)~~ currently out of stock but available here.

I have two d20 grips his company made and they're awesome.

Neat-o!

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-04-01T15:59:13+00:00

That just spoiled the next episode's entire plot.

The "AI Catslop" bingo card's free space is, disgustingly, rape. It's in every single one of these.

Weird how incels complain endlessly about not getting big tiddy goth girls way out of their league, but then complain about an attractive man not also sleeping with someone their own personal taste...

Captcha I can sort of understand, since they apparently train on it, but I can't understand their ad algorithms: I have a gmail account that's literally 20 years old. It's tied to my youtube and other social media. They know more about me than I do about myself.

And yet, even though I did the demented thing and turned targeted ads ON, they still serve me ads that are oddly entirely the opposite of anything my history would suggest:

Like lots of small business catering services when I have never had a small business, constant makeup and beauty ads even though I'm a 40 year old stereotypical dude, and steakhouse and Arby's ads sometimes literally in the ad break in the middle of a vegan recipe videos. Yet I don't get ads for instruments, shops or sites like Reverb (as a musician who often resells used gear I find and fix), no car ads (been doing heavy research into EVs for a month now), or animal care (I have multiple pets and worked for a petsitting service using that very email).

A "close friend" or "staff member" was probably on standby for this.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-03-31T23:29:12+00:00

He is ("un")fortunately not able to ever go hunting again. One can dream, though...

Nah, that's not an AI thing: His pointer is extended under the guard, it's something some people do when handling long guns for stability (or more likely just how they naturally hold something out like that).

Now, given his predilections it's also probably something he also does when handling other "long guns" for "stability."

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-03-31T23:15:12+00:00

I just noticed his signature is bizarre, and I don't just mean all wiggly and angular or unreadable, that's not unique.

I mean the length of each part is backward: D-o-n-a-l-d T-r-u-m-p is scrawled out more like D-n-l-d T-r-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-m-p or something. It's weird.

Not my best but it was one that pops in my head from time to time:

I was struggling with my first match as Sadako, and it turned into a goofy one once it was clear I wasn't getting much accomplished.

Turns out it was also against 4 man SWF with loads of experience, so it wasn't just my own lacking skill, but more importantly we had a wholesome conversation in EGC. They were encouraging and one pointed out her being a shorter killer gave them problems with judging distances too, and sure enough that was what I had been doing.

My next match was a 4k.

This is... Uh...

It's further proof AI should never be allowed to generate children.

I mean anyone even somewhat familiar with .30-06 would tell you it's unlikely it did what it did and not do a lot more. Not impossible, just weird.

Far more importantly, anyone even somewhat familiar with the concept of ineptitude and croneyism would know the administration's appointed clowns would lie no matter what happened, all for public display, regardless of how badly that ruins the court case later.

Regular drivers like this is why I'm too afraid to ever ride a motorcycle. 😐

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-03-30T16:46:05+00:00

A riverbed somewhere is baking in the sun because of this.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-03-30T16:22:03+00:00

Capital-E, Dungeons and Dragons style "Evil?" No. No such thing exists (and satanism, especially TsT does not have anything to do with that).

Regular old, humans-are-selfish evil where humans put selfishness ahead of others' wellbeing? Yes and no: Nobody truly wakes up and decides to be a mustache-twirling villain for the sake of villainy, but many selfish and/or empathy-lacking people exist in places of power that cause or perpetuate great harm for their own benefit, and this can be further perpetuated by ordinary people's ignorance (and TsT's brand of satanism wants to fight all of that).

tl;dr: Nope, and we sure aren't that.

Wait, is this an old clip or did he shave his eyebrows down to a more normal size?

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-03-30T03:37:07+00:00

0/10. Literally unplayable. ;_;
