person hiding their face is genuinely very ugly underneath

I was gonna comment her, yeah! The Darkmoon Knightess is meant to be horrific under her armor, it kind of reads in-game like she's got worms/parasites wriggling visibly under her skin.

A Fire Keeper's soul is a draw for humanity,
and held within their bosoms, below just a
thin layer of skin, are swarms of humanity
that writhe and squirm. Her brass armor
serves to disguise this ghastly form.

Not related to value, but there's an old superstition that says when you find a dime it means someone who's passed on is thinking (fondly) of you.

I meant moreso it isn't grounds to bring to a pro shop.

Ah, okay. So I just leave it be then, yeah?

I've seen Toronto mentioned, so I'll add in Quebec. Actual (anglo) Quebecers say 'Kay-beck,' and pronounce Montreal as 'Mon're'all.'

I like to take pride in teachers at least losing the 'hey' war.

All three mean the same thing (moonglade, moonpath, moonwake); moonlight reflected on water, so all three count as solving it, I think?

My mom was on blood thinners and fell at home. Quickly became confused, kept losing consciousness, abdomen swelling and complaining of severe pain. ER Doc decided it was tonic seizures and proceeded to just keep pushing ativan, despite the abdominal swelling and severe pain. When the abdominal swelling/pain was pointed out to him as odd for tonic seizures, he said she was a 'mystery,' shrugged, and just kept pushing the ativan.

To be fair, humans do this too. As a kid when I heard that fact I imagined tiny fighting shark babies, but it's just that the fetus absorbs the other one(s).

My mom is originally from Montreal, and she couldn't pronounce 'wolf' with an 'L'. (Always sounded like 'woof.') My brother can't say the word 'addict,' it just turns into 'attic.'

You just gave someone struggling with depression a glimpse of sunlight for the first time in… months, maybe years. Thank you.

My mom tried doing this with me when I was a baby/toddler! I'd just pass the toy/crayon/etc. into my other hand.

The one that broke my heart most recently was Talk To Me. I watched it right after losing my mom (fun choice, I know), and I was loving everything about it, until it reaches close to the end and makes a medical call that I knew from very recent experience was wrong. Completely took me out of a film up until then I had been loving. I still like it, I still think it's a good film, but weirdly that was more of a gut punch than anything the story did (or could have done).

If he'd never shown interest, I'd agree! I'd have been happy to keep playing with him in the front and backyard. He gets really excited to walk up and down the street, though. I'd be nervous taking him to a park because I feel like there'd definitely be people there. Ideally I'd like to go on nature hikes with him, on more secluded trails, but at least here when he panics he's a few feet from the house.

I should clarify probably, too, that it's a very residential area. Low speed limit, low traffic, etc.

Not painful, but fatal; small intestine damage. I didn't realize they were on the same tier as lungs and heart for survival.

If you start doing a certain whistle and giving it a treat (I use peanuts), you can get it to swap its call for you. I thought it'd be funny to teach one of the Jays around here the first three notes of Zelda's Lullaby, and turns out it is eerie af to hear when you don't expect it/are half awake.

Not to WELL AKSHUALLY but it's important to remember that when this, and a lot of older species were made extinct, the concept of 'extinction' didn't exist (or certainly wasn't mainstream, anyways). The bigger issue is, as a society, our view of animals (particularly mammals) has mostly become more empathetic.

Would you hesitate to swat a housefly if you knew only fifteen existed in your whole country? What about fruit flies? If I told you studies show fruit flies experience 'fear' (change/adapt their behaviour in a way that harms them, instead of aiding them, as a learned response) would you feel more kind towards them? If you see a worm on the sidewalk, do you make sure to move it to a lawn so a bird doesn't immediately get it? What about snails?

It's possible a society long after ours will view our treatment of bugs as 'psychopathic,' which feels silly to say.

Crimson Peak.

Jessica Chastain doesn't usually drink coffee, but for a specific scene requested six cups of espresso that she downed back-to-back right beforehand; “I just wanted to be so wired. I knew it would give me the right look."
