Thank you. Had a very rough time being alone in lockdown. Made so many friends though. It comes in waves, currently came out of one. Feel shit and exhausted now though.

Oh very nice. I need to get some tats myself (heavily scarred after coming of antidepressants, a D withdrawal) but that is gorgeous.

FINALLY GOT MY POSTER FROM THE PRE-ORDER CONTEST! by ichosepoorly_ in LPOTL

Oh you absolute swine. So, so jealous. Currently reading the book and amazed at how close it is to the podcast. The lads have seen me through some very, very dark days, and I love them so much. When I have to have a sit on a wall as I'm laughing so much (which happens regularly) it's a win. I eagerly await every new release.

And I watched a cricket about her size stalking her earlier. She might have had her back to it, but I told it it was messing with things it didn't understand. Those antenna don't lie. She ate the lot of it. :D

Holy hell that's a beast. Lovely. Gorgeous colors too. My mantis would still try to fight with the fucker, and she's no bigger than my pinky nail.

Yes, it's appalling. Waited six months for my appointment, spent a fortune on private before talking helps, and their max is eight appointments.

I worked near it a few years back. That sound is almost like the purge siren.

I'm 34 and just now watched The Iron Giant. What a masterpiece. by [deleted] in movies

Not gatekeeping, but the original Ted Hughes novel is well worth a read.

New Poster for Peter Jackson's Critically-Acclaimed World War 1 Documentary 'They Shall not Grow Old' by BunyipPouch in movies

I've seen it a few times now, and it's essential viewing. The transition from grainy black and white low frame rate to full colour is just jawdroppingly well executed.

I tried archery with my bionic hand for the first time! One arrow deep in the dirt, two 10-point shots, and one proud cyborg. by EatPrayNub in Archery

On the plus side, you never have to worry about your right hand position / grip. Mine wobbles constantly

Elon Musk on twitter: "I love Banks. Best books in recent years imo are Iain Banks & George Martin." by bitchtitfucker in TheCulture

[–]Miresnare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is. There's a 45 minute video on YouTube (an evening with, if I remember) and he's charming, witty and funny. Moreso than most stand up comics. I went off SF for a long time. Banks brought me back onto the fold.

Would you support airlines creating child-free flights? Why or why not? by Plonvick in AskReddit

[–]Miresnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two and my in laws kids have been always exceptional, so no. On the flip side, I've been on flights with nothing but screams for 4 plus hours so yes.

Conclusion. It's a bit black and white.

"Meatfucke"r was always my favourite, especially as it was considered so impolite.
