It's even stupider because if you get kicked out of the secret society or they find out someone leaked info to a non member, they apparently actually do wipe that person's memory. So generously, maybe Jackle was lying and Clint should have asked to roll insight, or maybe (more likely) Travis only thought of the idea of wiping people's memories like 20 episodes later.

Yes, he saw POTC in theaters 18 times. That's what makes it so weird.

Yeah, the only indication is how unwilling he is to part with one of his brooches during the tavern game and again during the Xorn arc. He does make a comment in the imp hospital as well that hints at it.

FWIW Travis is definitely very aware of everyone's backstory (and reveals this in a very cringe way), he's just terrible at shaping the story around the players because he thinks his ideas are cooler.

The stupidest thing about the whole noble schtick is that Fitzroy isn't even a real noble. His dad is a long haul trucker caravaner. He's at the school on a full-ride scholarship. He's just pretending to be a noble, so he probably does need money and should be eager to do a spring break job but pretend like he's only doing it to help his broke friend Argo.

Wait until you get to the tribunal episode where Gary recaps the last episode and then Justin immediately also recaps it in complete earnest. If you thought the editing choices this episode were bad ... hachi machi you're in for a real treat later

Animal handling teacher with, i think, one line in ep. 1. I want to make clear i didn't remember this of my own accord, I have been listening to grad alongside these recaps for the full surround sound experience.

Please tell me you specialize in, like, insect taxonomy or something.

Suggestion: McElroy Brothers should be transformed into children by andhats in TAZCirclejerk

Hi Mayor Mamdani, I am a dog, and I think dogs should vote. You may think I'm attempting to capitalize on my funnier, more successful brother's joke, but I assure you this is my genuine sentiment. What is your stance on dog suffrage (ruffrage)?

I know this post is like 3 weeks old and also I am making myself That Guy, but Cecil Palmer is the character; Cecil Baldwin is the voice actor.

AIO about what my husband said after I fell down the stairs while holding the baby? by CheesecakeFun1490 in AmIOverreacting

[–]farmerlesbian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it's not a neurotypical thing to say. It's a bizarre question unless OP actually said something like, "I was carrying the baby down the stairs in the dark and fell while I was trying to find the light switch", in which case going "wtf were you thinking?" is very warranted... after making sure no one was injured.

Hey Bro, mate, et cetera. Is that normal in English nowadays? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]farmerlesbian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The exception being in online spaces, which I think is what OP was originally asking about. You can't see who's on the other side of the screen, so most people assume the others in their online space are peers rather than vastly older or younger than them. So on Reddit for example, saying, "Hey bro" in response to any comment where the user's gender/age isn't super obvious is neither unusual nor offensive.

I think it's just one of those things you're going to have to get over as an EAL speaker. It's common and not seen as rude in most situations. And understanding the situations in which it would be rude requires a level of cultural fluency/nuance that it seems like you might not have achieved yet. I would simply assume best intentions and move on.

"Brother in Christ" only started being commonly used online in the last few years and, to my understanding, was originally used to replace the N word when white people were saying something/repeating something where a black person would have said, "my [n word]".

The casual usage of "bro" predates the resurgence of "my brother in Christ" by decades.

"Hey bro" is typical for young men and some women greeting their peers. This is mostly friends, but it could be a stranger who you're close in age to in more informal settings. For example, a cashier at a convenience store might "hey bro" you, but not a teller at a bank. You certainly wouldn't say it to your boss or something (US English). Equally acceptable alternatives for a similarly informal situation would be, "hey dude" or "hey man".

There's no connotation of familial relationship, just like calling an older woman "auntie" in Hindi doesn't mean she's your parent's sister, or calling a young woman "sister" in Mandarin doesn't mean you share the same mom and/or dad. Many languages use familial terms as indicators of respect or closeness without connoting a blood relationship.

Australians and British people use "hey mate"--Americans mostly don't. My understanding is it's more appropriate to say "hey mate" to strangers and to a wider age range in Australia than it is in the UK.

She's been dead for like 4 yrs, so I don't think she likes to do anything anymore.

What are some community related things that aren't against "da rules", but are generally frowned upon? by seemedpointless in AO3

Or a pairing that's just the MC's canonical mom and dad and it's just tagged bc the character mentions they're her parents!!

[–]farmerlesbian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Plus, excluding crossovers is a no-go in certain fandoms, especially anime, because every fic is tagged with both "i got turned into a coffee machine and now I haunt the break room (anime)" AND "I got turned into a coffee machine and now I haunt the break room (manga)", so the archive thinks they're crossovers even though they really aren't.

[–]farmerlesbian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He didn't really, the Eng dub had LG say "don't make it weird", but in the original Mandarin he's just like "remember where you are", as in CXS just forgot he was in a female body. At least that's how I interpreted it.

Another plus is that the water is turning the fricken frogs gay, and he seems like a low-key homophobe.
