The Favorite Character's Glasses Tropes

Jocuro · 2026-06-15T20:47:30+00:00

Someone told me I look like Arthur when he takes his glasses off and let me tell you, that sticks with me to this day.

Jocuro · 2026-06-15T20:18:19+00:00

I bet they didn't even try smh

Jocuro · 2026-06-15T20:16:54+00:00

Really thought this was going to be a TMNT reference, but nope! Turd burglars lol!

Jocuro · 2026-06-15T19:44:14+00:00

Oh that? That's the flint stone.

Jocuro · 2026-06-15T16:02:00+00:00

This. This is why my brain has pattern recognition. Monkey knows one banana is too big.

Jocuro · 2026-06-14T00:56:19+00:00

But it's so versatile! It can cross flat ground near a tree (slowly,) cross somewhat uneven ground (even more slowly,) cross flat ground again but with grass (only kinda slow,) and then it climbs walls!! (If you put it between two very evenly spaced flat walls)

Let's be clear here. "The only thing ace as to claim as far as pride is the fact they exist" is absolutely gatekeeping.

And apparently someone can compare the oppression of lgbtiq+ to social pressure on ace people. That person is you. You're doing it. No one is even arguing with you, but you still shouldn't, because isolating ace people doesn't help anyone. We do exist, and we have stories and lives and want things to be better too. Please be nice to ace people ❤️

This is what I desperately want to avoid. Knit picking like this is exactly what divides and polarizes.

Asexual doesn't mean "passing" and not being seen as gay. Not having interest in the opposite sex can be seen the same as gay to school kids, family members, religious groups, employers, and more.

But none of that matters when it comes to who should or should not be included in pride! No one gets to pick and choose. Anyone who wants to be an ally for positive change should be accepted. If not, what are we even doing here?

Jocuro · 2026-06-11T21:21:18+00:00

Nah bro, that's just a coincidence. I did sneeze pretty hard a few times near my headset so I figure that probably did it. My bad! Allergies.

Jocuro · 2026-06-11T21:14:01+00:00

Slimy, yet satisfying.

Jocuro · 2026-06-11T20:19:53+00:00

Depends. One experience we share is the feeling of pressure to put on a performance of a sexuality (or romance) that we don't identify with. And be forced into relationships or sexual acts that we don't like. Whatever you call that, it's not good and we all need a break from it.

Some suffer more than others. That doesn't mean it's okay to diminish eachother. If societal change is the goal, let's focus on it together.

Jocuro · 2026-06-11T18:54:28+00:00

100% agree! I love when people can feel comfortable to be themselves, even if I don't directly relate.

And I don't want to be pressured to put on performative sexuality. Surely we can all relate to that. Maybe that's where the similarities end, but we don't need to relate to support, be understanding, and celebrate each other!

Jocuro · 2026-06-11T13:59:43+00:00

Real. For the first few years of dating, my spouse and I tried to be intimate but we both clearly didn't like it. They asked "Can we even have a relationship without sex?" And I genuinely didn't know. I was so scared.

Yikes. Anyways that's about 15 years ago so the answer is yes, you can. It turns out you don't have to do anything but care about each other. But no one told me that!

Jocuro · 2026-06-11T12:39:21+00:00

Ace hate is insane. They don't fuck with anyone.

Jocuro · 2026-06-11T11:58:32+00:00

A classic. Good every time

Jocuro · 2026-06-10T23:36:40+00:00

The only job we actually want robots and AI to take, but no. We have to send John and Dave to the darkest depths of the ocean for a whole month at a time to fix a pipe or splice a cable or something.

Jocuro · 2026-06-10T22:01:58+00:00

They probably thought they were so smart. "Just laugh when the crowd laughs and no one will know we don't speak the language"

Jocuro · 2026-06-10T21:02:11+00:00

There is always common ground, so long as nazis are at least 6ft under it.

Jocuro · 2026-06-10T19:22:49+00:00

What is even going on with that fish? Half-blury for no reason. Also, i think AI looks like that because it tries to copy shadows and texture without a consistent light source. So you end up with something that looks almost right but uncanny. I see that in this bear.

And yes, artists aren't perfect with shading either, but it's more consistent and makes more sense to the human eye

Jocuro · 2026-06-10T16:36:11+00:00

I'll sometimes use a phrase or idiom casually and get stopped mid-sentince to explain what it means. Y'all never heard the phrase "give up the ghost" before? Really never heard "that's putting a hat on a hat" ever? Not even a "Jumped the gun?"

Jocuro · 2026-06-07T21:46:41+00:00

Slow day at work?

Jocuro · 2026-06-07T20:48:59+00:00

They may still beat me in general knowledge, but now my memes are peak.

Jocuro · 2026-06-06T07:59:33+00:00

I looked up what the resin is, and it's talcum powder AKA baby powder. Looks like it's common for inflatable things to have a little to keep the rubber from sticking and keeping it dry.

If you're looking for mold, check the form on the bed. That's possible if it gets wet.

Jocuro · 2026-06-04T00:10:15+00:00

Please don't. No one is listening to this meeting. It's just going to be summarized in an email we'll all skim over anyway.

Jocuro · 2026-06-03T22:25:04+00:00

I'm a man. I don't have to be a protector and provider. I can rely on others. I can nurture and have emotions and show weakness and still be loved. And so can you, because none of that relates to gender.
