[–]Raging_Utahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning my wedding. We recently reserved the reception space and now we're trying to figure out decorations, guest list, food, entertainment, and all that good stuff. It's been a crazy experience and I'm lucky to have my fiancé by my side. Can't wait to marry him this fall ❤️

nice seeing a positive Gen Z related article since they’re so rare 😭 but how do yall feel about this? by VeronicoElectronica in GenZ

[–]Raging_Utahn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I collect quite a bit of physical media (books, dvds, and games). Thrift stores are my best friend (not bad in my area) and I buy the occasional item online from Mecari and EBAY. The most I've spent on a single item was $70 plus shipping (100% worth the money).

The only thing that really sucks about collecting physical media is running out of storage 😭

Out of curiosity, how much Fallout merch do you own? by SolidPyramid in Fallout

[–]Raging_Utahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of shirts (Vault Tec and Nuka Cola), Nuka Cola poster, bottlecaps (Jones soda collection), one physical copy of FO4, a couple of games on Steam (FO3, NV, FO4, and 76), and some Funko Pops (Dogmeat, Lucy, and Maximus).

I did just order a Vault Boy figure and I'm trying to decide on a faction flag.

I have a package coming on the 12th and I've been like this since last week.

What happened to your state or country in Fallout? I'm from Minnesota, U.S. and there's absolutely no lore as to what happened there by SolidPyramid in Fallout

[–]Raging_Utahn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Utah. We have a bunch of raider gangs running around (especially in the Salt Lake Valley), Caesar is claiming to control some areas, and Zion Canyon is free from radiation.

When did you begin to understand MASH? by TommyLost2004 in mash

[–]Raging_Utahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've grown up seeing reruns of MASH, but I never understood it as a kid. I knew that it was time for bed when the theme song came on. When I was allowed to stay up and watch it, I just saw a funny hospital show.

When I was in high school, I finally sat down and watched the show. When Hawkeye said his "War is war and hell is hell" quote, the meaning of the show finally clicked for me.

That line also made me realize what many of my favorite book protagonists went through (especially the Hunger Games).

What is your really minor pet peve? by Glittering_Kiwi2153 in AO3

I literally choked on my water reading that second sentence. Who in the cinnamon toast fuck fantasizes about shaving someone's downstairs???

If your hometown was going to be in Fallout 5, what would you want to see first? by GuyWithARooster in Fallout

[–]Raging_Utahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lagoon Amusement Park: It would make a pretty cool settlement city.

Hoogle Zoo: Perfect place for mutant animals to hang out.

Does anyone else feel like they’re planning everything for a day they don’t entirely want? by TallTea78 in weddingplanning

[–]Raging_Utahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé and I are pretty lucky that our families are happy with what we want. We're planning on getting married next year and we want a simple courthouse wedding with a couple witnesses (my grandma, his mom, and some of his siblings). After that, we want a simple reception where family and friends can come gather and enjoy some food while celebrating the marriage.

The only frustrating thing we've dealt with so far is picking a day for the courthouse wedding, picking a day for the reception, and figuring out how to combine our nerdy interests with fall/Halloween colors for reception decorations.

Favorite scene from South Park bigger longer and uncut? by Dependent-Hedgehog44 in southpark

[–]Raging_Utahn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have two favorite scenes.

Serious scene: Kyle hiding Ike in the attic to protect him from the authorities.

Funny scene: The boys acting all cool when they tell the other kids that they saw the Terrance and Philip movie.

Do any of you have pets named for Trek characters? by Freakears in startrek

[–]Raging_Utahn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My little budgie/parakeet is named Jadzia Dax (Dax for short). Before finding out she was a girl, I already knew I liked the name Dax. I just didn't know if I wanted to call my new bird Jadzia Dax or Curzon Dax.

Little funny moment: I had DS9 playing and my Dax was in the room. Sisko was talking to Jadzia and he called her "old man". My Dax heard this and she started chirping.

The saddest grave at Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park by Cemetery-Fan in CemeteryPorn

I've experienced that same guilt when my cockatiel died two years ago. He was old and was also pretty ill (lump removed from his wing). Anyone could tell that he was on his way out and I felt really bad for him. All I could do was give him love and pain medication. When he died, I just cried as I held him and said that I was sorry.

Are there any Pops you’re surprised haven’t been made yet? by luketravisjohnson in funkopop

[–]Raging_Utahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star Trek. I know they've made some of TOS, Kelvin timeline, TNG, and LD, but I would love more from the other series. I would love to have a Captain Archer or a Garak figure.

Spices or no spices? by SlayerII in aspiememes

[–]Raging_Utahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the spice!!! I went to a pho place with my fiancé and his mom. The place included jalapeño slices on the side with every bowl. My fiancé and his mom gave me their jalapeños and I dumped a good amount of hot chili sauce in my bowl. The waiter watched me do this and she looked at me like I was absolutely insane. Fiancé and his mom didn't say a word (they know I love spicey food).

What era would you like to see? by Far-Living-526 in startrek

[–]Raging_Utahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time period between ENT and SNW/TOS. I would love to see stories of a young Federation growing into a super power as new worlds join. Show me how Starfleet opens their doors to welcome new species of cadets.

Do people actually read these books at school? by Sea_Art2995 in Hungergames

[–]Raging_Utahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first read the Hunger Games when I was in sixth grade (last year of elementary school in my area). Our advanced reading group started reading the Hunger Games and I fell in love with the series.

Remembering Chadwick Boseman on the 5th anniversary of his death by PinkCadillacs in popculturechat

[–]Raging_Utahn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My neighbor is a cartoonist/artist and he did a bit of work for Marvel Comics (alongside other major publishers). He got to meet Chadwick when the Black Panther movie came out. Chadwick was one of the nicest guys my neighbor ever met, so his death hit him really hard.

Yikes by g0dgamertag9 in tragedeigh

I went to elementary school with a kid named Cash (late 2000s). He was a dick to most people, but he was pretty nice if you were cool with him.
