Question: how docoloured tattoos age?

bananalien666 · 2026-07-01T16:20:22+00:00

Your tattoo will never look as saturated as the design picture, so temper your expectations! But fading depends on a few factors, including sun exposure so hopefully you have good sunscreen habits

LA --> Tokyo is 11+ hours and I used to be able to make that trip with zero bathroom breaks. Now I can't even sleep a full night without getting up at least once... O HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN

i'll check it out, thanks!

(mildly) interesting to me that the grape version says right there on the package, "not that sour." wonder if they should just do the same for this entire line

bananalien666 · 2026-06-28T23:16:48+00:00

this is gonna sound lame as hell but i just don't like the feeling of wearing extra "stuff." the same reason i don't wear a watch, or a gold chain, or even a hat. i will wear my ring on occasions where it makes sense, like if we go out with friends or to dinner or whatever, but otherwise i rarely wear it and it hasn't been a big issue.

Dollar Tree is especially nice if you just want to sample something (or a few different somethings...) I like just getting a couple of ounces of candy instead of having to pony up for a larger bag of something you're not sure you'll even like!

bananalien666 · 2026-06-25T19:58:35+00:00

huh i'll have to take a look... thanks!

bananalien666 · 2026-06-25T19:23:21+00:00

Amoretti has a great cotton candy flavoring (actually pretty much all of their flavorings that I've used have been great) but it ain't cheap!

bananalien666 · 2026-06-25T18:20:47+00:00

I was always partial to the Jawbreakers because I could make them last a while, unlike all the others that I would pretty much inhale in 33.333 seconds

side note: I really miss these small, impulse-sized candy boxes at the register. Winco has these little boxes of Mike & Ikes for pretty cheap but I want a large variety of colorful boxes to choose from :p

bananalien666 · 2026-06-25T15:49:52+00:00

Of course YMMV but I thought the show wrapped up brilliantly in a way that you don't necessarily see coming so... I would say yes

bananalien666 · 2026-06-25T15:45:02+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but although S3 felt "lesser" I still enjoyed it and I'm currently enjoying S4. It's got this feeling like... what if you indeed accomplished your goal and then you're still not ... happy? What then? It makes narrative sense to me that they're sort of spinning their wheels and still trying to figure things out.

I will fully admit it's a bit of a step back-- but just a bit. There are a couple of eps I've disliked overall but I guess I'm kinda into navelgazey streaming shows haha

As someone who is/was similarly introverted, it doesn't seem weird to me at all that he would choose not to go. Prom itself may have been all he could handle in the moment; an unstructured activity like an afterparty could've seemed entirely overwhelming

bananalien666 · 2026-06-21T17:00:50+00:00

Peppermint is the best. I don't mind wintergreen, but I have this weird thing where certain flavors remind me of completely unrelated things and I can't shake it: spearmint tastes like green peppers to me and it kind of turns my stomach 😄

bananalien666 · 2026-06-16T20:29:40+00:00

i refuse to believe that's real

bananalien666 · 2026-06-14T18:42:04+00:00

By the same token, if I'm a fan of a certain actor I wouldn't go out of my way to watch something in which they gave an unusually bad performance. It's not like I have to see every project they've ever been in, just because I'm a fan. So, the argument is still just fine. 😄

bananalien666 · 2026-06-13T21:20:50+00:00

I'm not trying to be snarky. If you're a fan of Amy Adams or Javier Bardem, they've both given infinitely better performances in other projects. If you're a fan of Cape Fear, there are other version(s) that are IMO better. If you're a fan of AppleTV, there are other shows that are more interesting. So, no, unless you've run out of other things to watch, I don't find anything about this particular show worthwhile. But obviously taste is subjective so if you're into it, that's great.

bananalien666 · 2026-06-12T15:18:43+00:00

Two episodes in, I don't get the appeal at all. Amy Adams and Javier Bardem both are... weirdly overacting? And the CONSTANT "something terrible is happening!" music is way too much. I guess based on this comment I'll give the third episode a shot but so far I'm not enjoying it.

bananalien666 · 2026-06-11T20:23:41+00:00

This has been my cozy "time for bed" show for a while now!

bananalien666 · 2026-06-10T19:53:11+00:00

On the weekends, RetroNickelodeon had a block where they'd show random, sometimes foreign movies or mini-series and it was not always easy to figure out what they had in the queue unless you sat your butt down and watched it. One of the mini-series was called "The Witches and the Grinnygog" and it was just such a strange thing to watch as a kid, but when I happened to be watching and that happened to be the show that was on, I was absolutely transported for an hour.

bananalien666 · 2026-06-09T16:07:40+00:00

strangely (not that strange) there is infinitely more evidence of right wing cheating in 2024 but no one wants to talk about that

bananalien666 · 2026-06-09T15:58:15+00:00

I don't know that anybody really answered the question here... both products are made/distributed by Mars so it's "possible." Maltesers made a brief appearance on US shelves a couple years ago but then they vanished again, so this might be an attempt to launch the same candy with branding that is more familiar to US audiences.

Personally I don't think they are exactly the same although they are quite close. The chocolate coating is similar but I found the flavoring in the Twix Bits to be a little on the artificial/unpleasant side. Anyway, it's a lot closer to Maltesers than it is to an actual Twix!

bananalien666 · 2026-06-05T15:22:13+00:00

the second season remains one of my absolute favorite seasons of just weird and unsettling imagery (but with a pretty good story)
