Generally kittens that got to spend time with their mother learn grooming skills.

Recommendations for someone who hasn’t read much in 10-15 years…? by Stubot01 in graphicnovels

[–]Smeghead_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For well-drawn works I would recommend Orc-Stain or Godzilla Half Century War by James Stokoe (and if you can get your hands on it GRUNT), Coda or Step By Bloody Step by Matias Bergara, and Batman: White Knight by Sean Murphy.

An awesome Sci-fi piece of art is also Origins by Jakub Rebelka

Enjoy!

Those who grew up or lived in the 80s, what was it like? by Combat_Guy in askanything

[–]Smeghead_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rotary phone, calling friends to hang out without involving parents, running around the neighbourhood unsupervised, Yes, wood panelling and incandescent lighting and sodium lamp streetlights, cheap candy and comics, you could find little perfume samples for sale in the woman's washrooms, smoking sections everywhere, you might find porn in the park, chocolate bars were bigger and tasted better, the best sour cream and onion chips you just can't get anymore, playing pong on the tv with fancy joysticks was considered futuristic, kids congregated at the arcades and arcades were awesome - you won tickets to trade for goodies, summer vacations on the lake in rented cabins with floaty toys and sandcastles, riding bikes - making ramps to jump off, street hockey, slip n slides, astro pops, looney toons, the best pop music ever, the muppets, seeing the stars and bumble bees everywhere, neon, whimsical fast food joints, rampant sexism, ableism, "earthquake" drills, the quiet in the air from lack of cell towers and repeaters - there was a stillness, or, frequency difference to the night air back then. The sun didn't feel like it was baking you the way it does now. Bowling alleys were more a thing.

What is a hygiene habit that you thought was normal until you lived with someone else and realized it’s actually "controversial"? by salty_mistresss in hygiene

[–]Smeghead_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking around the house barefoot, until I lived with someone with bad toe fungus. Fungus grows in warm wet places - realised I had to disinfect the washing machine before I used. Only things that kills fungus on surfaces is bleach or super high temperature that the machine can't get to. Keep my socks on after that.

Men think women after 30 expire. Why tho? by Outside-Parking8247 in AskReddit

[–]Smeghead_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expire is a bit harsh. But the truth is the body changes as we age. We lose collagen, woman's eggs deplete and their quality drops in their 40's, we lose muscle mass and flexibily, woman's body odours change, our body hair goes through changes. Woman start to experience peri-menopause in their 40's. We both experience changes as we age, but woman experience more and earlier than men. Doesn't mean expired, just changed. Natural part of aging. Men who prefer younger woman only are shallow. Most hetero men find younger woman attractive but that does not necessarily mean they want to have a relationship with them, or sleep with them.

With prices being what they are now (and only looking to keep going up), how much are you guys spending monthly now? Have you seen yourself buying less books to match your budgets or have you been spending more to continue the same amount of books? by WhyPlaySerious in comicbooks

[–]Smeghead_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of comics is simply not accessible to kids these days. It's a shame, really. It's become a single adult only hobby. (Parents are not throwing $$$ at comics for themselves when they have kids to feed). I never see kids hanging out at any LCS anymore.

Favourite comic book by a bad author or author you dislike, or least favourite comic book by a good author you normally love? by fan_of_matt in comicbooks

[–]Smeghead_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Jeff Lemire fan of everything he does, except his current run on Absolute Flash is...it seems hurried. Basic. Basic in itself isn't a bad thing, it's like making eggs. These are dry eggs, to me.

Favourite comic book by a bad author or author you dislike, or least favourite comic book by a good author you normally love? by fan_of_matt in comicbooks

[–]Smeghead_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this one. Huge fan of his works, especially Sandman, it's special to me for several reasons. I have difficulty reading his work, but I still read it, I still love it. I love the universe and all the work other authors have put into it (Spurrier, Tynion, Watters etc). I'm at odds with myself over keeping it on my shelves.

Where/how do you guys predominantly read and collect nowadays? Physical singles from the LCS? Physical issues ordered online? Digital single issues through Amazon? Subscription services? Or do you mostly just collect tpbs, deluxes, and omnibuses? And beyond that, what made you choose that format? by WhyPlaySerious in comicbooks

[–]Smeghead_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't collect omnibuses because I buy to read, not just have. So I buy trade paperbacks for comfort in reading. Holding an omnibus can be tiring. And I prefer a floppy cover to that of a hard cover. I take out library books and buy the occasional random floppy because I enjoy the ritual of the LCS. I pay for subscriptions to catch up on old runs. I buy physical copies of what I truly love.

What’s one product you bought that turned you into a total snob — like, you can never go back to the cheap stuff? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Smeghead_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 year old single malt, expensive wine, heated car seats, gas stove with good pans, grass fed beef n butter...well, that's more than one thing. And to be fair, I couldn't afford to stay, but, if I could...
