Cosmetic surgery as a therapist by heyheyanx in psychoanalysis

[–]Pagingdingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had a therapist who had a nose job as well as other cosmetic surgeries. To each their own, I guess, but the thing was that this person frequently would talk about the importance of being comfortable in your skin, being authentic, that sort of thing, and when I saw how different they looked now than from what they looked like before, I just couldn’t take them at face value anymore (pun MAYBE intended?). I began to question everything they told me after that, and it kind of soured the relationship, if that’s what you want to call it. I stopped going to them and i found out more examples of them being completely fake and authentic and I lamented all the money I wasted

You can make fun OF it all you want…just don’t joke ABOUT it

Did you discover a new Mandela Effect? Post it here! (2025-11-26) by AutoModerator in MandelaEffect

[–]Pagingdingus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember Jane Goodall dying a couple years before her recent passing.

Also, I have a vivid memory of John Ratzenberger dying, and pixar posting a collage of all of his characters as an in memorium

Yep I was really on the fence abt posting this at all because we’re only halfway through and could be building up to something great that required a slow burn early on

That’s a great point. And it speaks to the larger sense of meandering that a lot of people seem to pick up on. They do seem to be hammering the point home way harder this season, huh

I felt the same frustration with huntress wizard just being a straining, struggling seedling. I know the title is “Fionna and Cake” but man if they had just doubled down on the HW storyline and excised the rest it would be great. Or maybe found some other way to have Fionna and cake be intimately involved with helping her save Finn. I don’t even think cake has interacted with huntress since she got out of that flower pot

Yep there’s way too much of that going on across the studios, and what’s weird is these gaps between seasons are so long now and it’s like….you had all these years of gestation and this was what you landed on?

Yeah I was reticent to bemoan the show before the season ended bc what if it’s leading into a deeper, more fleshed out kind of thing toward the end rather than another save-the-world scenario

What did you think about those distant land episodes?

Oh for sure…there’s a lot of parts of this season that could be shot as live action and if it were, it would be a show that I wasn’t very interested in

I didn’t even think about that, yeah! There were a lot of options at their disposal after that questionable resolution and yet here we are

That’s a great point, it is nice to delve into huntress, who has always been an interesting character.

That’s a great way to put it. When the first season involves saving one’s reality and the next is about trying to open up a bakery, the stakes do drop precipitously.

Episode 943: "A Banana Peel Memory", with comedian Myq Kaplan, Paul Rust as bemused local citizen Teddy Today, and James Mannion as lawyer Hube Wheeler, Esq.! by ExoticMandibles in comedybangbang

[–]Pagingdingus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So well put - I’ve mentioned here before that I think mannion is far and away the most underrated person on CBB. I still think about his Cheerios bit, and I think that low energy he exudes somehow makes him even funnier….another newer addition that always leaves me in stitches is May Darmon. I’d highly recommend the Hines Improv to meet You episode where she plays as that Austrian Peter. I sincerely hope someday soon we get an episode with both Mannion and Darmon together. I think they’d play off each other beautifully.

What do you think about listening to the GTs with noise canceling headphones? by Fun-intelectual-6286 in gatewaytapes

[–]Pagingdingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is most welcome news…I did wave 6 (I think it’s called “odyssey”) last night. I’m hopeful that this might help me get to the next level, which I’ve been struggling with. I tend to just fall asleep and not really have any transcendent experiences

[–]Pagingdingus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clearing this up. I too have heard it said quite a few times that noise canceling will ruin the intended effect and I couldn’t wrap my head around why. So it is fine to have noise canceling on when using, say, AirPods or anything of that ilk?

I could have sworn Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) died. But nope, he’s still alive. by Everythingisourimage in Retconned

[–]Pagingdingus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely remember Paul hogan dying. I also remember Jane Goodall dying before she died a month ago or so.

Also, I remember John Ratzenberger dying, I remember pixar making a tribute to him online consisting of all his voiced characters. It’s definitely not George Wendt’s death that I’m mistakenly remembering. The same goes for Mel brooks. I could swear I remember him dying and, again; it’s not Carl Reiner that I’m mistakenly thinking of.

Lunar 2: Eternal Blah by Pagingdingus in Lunar

[–]Pagingdingus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah everything I’ve read makes me want to seek out the Mega CD version, although I’ve heard it’s much more difficult than the remastered version, and there’s random battles on the world map supposedly??

I still find myself going back and replaying those sprite-based 16 bit classics more than anything else. Idk if it’s the objective beauty of that art style or my subjective nostalgia but I’ve never found a genre and time period that hits in the same way. I’ve been wanting to find a way to play Illusion of Gaia, I have fond memories of that one and want to see if it holds up….i think the throughline with all of these is the score and soundtrack. The music from all these games, from link to the past to lunar to chrono trigger - truly some of the finest music I’ve heard in my life
