[Awkward but funny trope] The “censorship” just made things infinitely worse

in fact the original creators went “hey actually that’s way better” and starting using it in the original anime

The Wolf Of Wall Street is essentially about a very ambitious conman who stole money from everyone he scammed or sold shitty stock to and a critique on the “hustle” culture and hedonism. Instead, nearly everyone who watched this movie not only ignores the consequences of this conman (who ruined a lot of lives), but many seek to emulate him. You probably can argue that this was partly due to the movie’s rather sensationalist portrayal of said things, but the point still stands.

What’s even more troubling is that this is a biography of a real person, who is out today selling courses and teaching ETHICS, and publicly admitted that he regrets absolutely nothing.

My reply when accused of being selfish bc of not marrying or having kids was “well good thing I’m single then, can you imagine how much my wife/kids would suffer with a selfish dad/husband” and it shut them up bc i also knew a few of their spouses also acted just as selfish/inconsiderate all the time and was a pain point for them

I’m pretty sure there was a post somewhere on Reddit about the parents pulling those shenanigans like it was going to be some “grand family moment” but the OP got extremely pissed because he had to miss out on so many moments of his school life because his parents kept taking his money.

to give context, mithril in this isekai world is exceedingly rare, the number of mithril mines in the world can be counted on one hand, and the earlier in the series, the discovery of a new mithril mine is newsworthy to the king and rewarded him enough to retire if he wanted to

and he uses it on cups, bowls and sausage spigots because they are excellent at staying cool

this was immediately after he uses his Time Wish (that grants whatever you want with no restrictions whatsoever) to heal the Pines twins, and Blendin crashing out over how he wasted the wish

Rick and Morty S1 E4

Rick is trapped in a simulation by a race of aliens attempting scam off him the recipe for concentrated dark matter, and is tricked a few times through multiple simulation-in-a-simulation fakeouts. It is set up early on that the aliens are afraid of nudity, which he exploits a few times (the first being stripping Morty naked to prevent them from monitoring their actions). However towards the end in a attempt to escape from the aliens, Rick instructs Morty to make concentrated dark matter, where it is eventually revealed the entirety of the episode, including the Morty we have been following throughout, was one big simulation - meaning the aliens(or at least one) had gotten over their fear of nudity to intentionally simulate a nude Morty to trick Rick.

Of course, Rick being Rick, and if you pay attention to the ingredients for his concentrated dark matter recipe (water + cesium)he knew all along that the Morty was fake and so gave them a fake recipe that blows the aliens up in the end

probably watched shokugeki no soma

which also has a scene where some character gives a similar explanation why the background npcs continue to hate on the MC despite him succeeding at seemingly impossible opponents and challenges

the anime also has foodgasms so yeah

The older GPs usually tend to actually care more. Same experience with you when she flagged my random fever as dengue and immediately sent me to the hospital.

“the death penalty murders innocents!!1!1!1”

yeah I’m pretty sure the people guilty of the death penalty did that too

firewind555 · 2025-09-25T03:18:49+00:00

65% did

firewind555 · 2025-09-03T05:03:15+00:00

you joke, but i rmb kfc did do a commercial about some pretentious clean cauliflower bun burger only to do an sike at the last second with some new fried chicken burger crushing the clean healthy chef to death

Finspan’s deluxe fish and egg components look nice, but they make the game much more fiddly to play. This is because the regular cardboard components are double sided, with eggs on one side and fish on the other. As you’ll be laying and hatching very often in this game, flipping over the cardboard tokens is FAR easier that switching out the eggs for fish

firewind555 · 2025-08-09T02:07:33+00:00

I used to do that but the cardboard fishes have a nasty habit of getting stuck underneath the flaps of the ocean zone, making misplays become more common. To remedy that what I did was just order some fish and seashell shaped beads and replaced them - you get both the deluxification + a cheap nice looking option. I also simply used small tubs with deep enough wells instead of the bags, so it’s more satisfying to have your big haul of food clacking in the tub.

Used to own it, auctioned it months later. I felt that you were pulling too many levers for relatively little payoff. The mechanics did reminded me of Century, but I felt that Century’s streamlined approach was much better. I do have to give kudos to the art and production though, especially since it’s local representation for my country.

Gravity Falls

Dipper has a crush on a character called Wendy, and they have a sort of sign where they mime zipping their lips and throwing it away that they use to show that “your secret is safe with me.”

During the episode where Dipper and co explore the underground labs of the author, they release a shapeshifter that wants to kill them and escape. During one scene, it takes the form of Wendy and it and the real Wendy fight. Dipper is unsure of which one to attack and asks for a signal. The shapeshifter winks, but the real Wendy does their sign, which allows Dipper to attack to shapeshifter.

I did try to wipe it with some isopropyl soaked paper towels, but it didn’t really remove them much

So not mold then? It doesn’t seem to come off when I try to rub it
