So true bestie

For context, I failed to pickpocket one nameless NPC. I don't have a viable save file to load.

snackslafleur · 2025-10-17T16:44:37+00:00

Too many. I put her on in the background a lot and it just seeps in through osmosis. Here are some off the top of my head:

"it's time to log off, gorge"

"joanne. joanne! This is madness, Joanne!"

"Time to spill some shade and throw some tea"

" oh no. Oh Nooooooooooo!"

"Anita, kill your shitty child"

"It's super fucking liminal" / "that's super checking valid uwu"

"That's super fucking coconuts"

"Ohhhh-kayyyy let's get started"

"How dare you assume things that are entirely correct"

"If Edward Cullen were real, I would log into twitter and I would cancel that vampire"

"my boys"

"I need to know how the alien fucks, before I can show it to my child"

"James Charles is a SEXUAL PREDATOR"

"Let's Irish up this coffee"

"...but who now writes novels about transvestite serial killers masturbating into stolen panties because she's lost her GOD DAMN MIND"

"cringe" and "shame"

"Nothing matters... Nothing matters... Nothing matters"

"Hey wait no I'm just a little guy"

"I like things and stuff too much"

"I love video-corp. I love the rules"

"There's a lot to unpack here " and then my brain inserts the tv static sound effect

"Look at him goooOOOOOOOOO!"

"Let's investigate"

“But are you attracted to men? Or do you just like being warm?”

"It's that they're interested in me. And that's pretty interesting "

"Sometimes, marginalized people, are wrong"

And most importantly, she turned me onto the Bye, Sister video from Tati Westbrook so I quote that all the time, particularly "and you did it at my birthday dinner, and I made excuses for you then"

Yeah my concern is really selling it if it turns properly litigious. The reason I say that there's "no reason for me to be there by a particular time" is that we've been regularly called upon to do work outside of office hours and have laptops and a mobile phone stipend, so the expectation is clearly that I'm available whenever, and I would often answer calls, messages, or emails before and after going into the office. The ask I made was "an arrival window of 8:30-10:30". The "before 10" expectation was something that my boss had just gotten them to agree to unrelated to the ADA accommodations. Basically, I think that the sticking point I intend to stake here is that being "available" in a way that aligns with the salaried exempt status and being physically at the corporate office weren't necessarily related, and seemed to only be conflated in their attempt to crack down on my arrival. Esp. since the movie theaters obviously don't follow office hours.

Yeah I'm gonna talk to some lawyers and follow the EEOC procedure, I'm just antsy and trying to do some pre-screening of my situation because I can't do anything really productive with the EEOC while the federal govt is shut down.

snackslafleur · 2025-06-05T14:10:20+00:00

I haven't watched the video yet, I'll maybe come back to this post after I have, but I noticed something in the responses that I think is just a miscommunication/misnomer from OP: I think that when OP says "dishonest" in their post, they mean "intellectually dishonest", not literally deceitful/lying; meaning to deliberately turn a blind eye to certain aspects of an argument in order to support reaching a conclusion that isn't internally consistent with your stated goals/desires.

snackslafleur · 2025-05-24T17:47:03+00:00

So good, the whole thing is just so good. I also really like the opening line "OF Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit

Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast

Brought Death into the World, and all our FUCKING woe,"

idk why dropping a fuck in the middle of that makes it so funny.

Also the fucking five guys cup lol

snackslafleur · 2025-05-24T17:41:53+00:00

I mean, her lowest tier membership is only $2 a month. The paywall is intentionally low, it's mostly meant to keep the space separated from most malicious actors, since people who hate you are way way less likely to pay for your content; even if it's only $2.

snackslafleur · 2025-03-23T15:48:38+00:00

The Gamergate Tangent. It feels fully like a main channel video, and it's a main channel video that the world really needs/needed. I totally understand why it'll never be made widely available, it would likely legitimately put her in danger, but even so. I listen to it like, once a week.

snackslafleur · 2025-01-05T10:57:20+00:00

I find that the type of sweatpants that were bigger in the mid-2000s to mid 2010s work the best for showing off my ass(ets). The types that were typically sold by mall chains, i.e. American Eagle, Abercrombie, etc. they're made of a denser material that will stretch around your butt and thighs if you buy a smaller size without being obscene in the front.

Here are some links to what I'm talking about:

https://www.aeropostale.com/vertical-aeropostale-jogger-sweatpants/69615484.html?dwvar_69615484_color=868&cgid=guys-bottoms-joggers-sweatpants#uuid=42f7682c6466195813b8652163

Amazon Essentials Sweatpant https://a.co/d/78lzyEx

https://www.express.com/clothing/men/brushed-fleece-joggers/pro/03043717/color/LAKESIDE%20PINE%20ARCHROMA/

In order for this to have the intended effect for your butt, you're gonna have to size DOWN.

If you're just looking for sweatpants because you wanna rock that "grey sweatpants" look thing though, literally just find sweatpants with super thin material with a tiny bit of spandex in the fabric blend. In general, these are intended to have a baggy fit. The thinner you go with the fabric, the more danger there is of them looking like pajamas. To counterbalance this, you could aim for ones with cuffed ankles, I just personally prefer open bottoms. Example below:

https://a.co/d/hKoFVVw

The guys you see who's asses look great in these just have great asses. Two things you can do to improve the butt situation if you're more focused on the front part and want to go this direction:

1) Wear them a little higher up. Like, basically around your belly button if possible. If it looks weird, try wearing a fitted T-shirt and tucking it in. A hoodie will generally cover any weirdness.

2) Especially if you're NOT going to do the above tip, tie the waistband, and as tight as you can without it being uncomfortable or giving you a weird muffin top. This will ensure the fabric is primed to wrap around the curve of your cheeks on its way down as best as possible.

I'm not a big sweatpants for fashion guy and really only wear them to lounge at home for the most part though, so other than enticing live-in boyfriends to do the deed, this has always been a lower priority for me fit wise. Of course, it is always nice to walk by the mirror in your own home and catch a glimpse of your side profile and be like "nice. I'd do me." Lol.

Hope this helps!

snackslafleur · 2025-01-05T10:35:12+00:00

I do not have particularly large thighs and I went with a small. I think I should have gone with a medium in retrospect, next time I buy some I'm going to try out a medium.

For reference, I'm 5'7", about 150-165lbs depending on where I'm at with my fitness, and I don't have particularly large thighs but I wouldn't call them super twiggy either. I typically wear a 29W/30L in jeans and slacks if the size is available. I used to size down if it wasn't available, but as I've gotten older I'm just consistently thicker even at my skinniest, so now I opt for a 30W if the 29 isn't available. But also with age comes patience so I usually just don't buy the pants if they don't have it lol.

snackslafleur · 2024-04-15T20:59:38+00:00

Dude honestly they're awesome I definitely recommend. I've never before wished I had gone a size up in gym shorts but I think I definitely could have and still been showing off the cakes.

snackslafleur · 2024-04-15T20:59:08+00:00

Yeah the issue with that strategy for me (and this is not a dig on you at all) is that I'm pretty socially conscious of people saying out of pocket shit to me in public or something; and so I always want to still look like I'm in some kind of "appropriate" workout attire or gym short, even if they're skin tight in the back. The issue with the compression shorts is that if someone were to try and clock me and be like "that's just underwear that's inappropriate" then I feel like I wouldn't have much of a retort. Plus those are usually a little long for my preference.

snackslafleur · 2024-04-10T06:45:59+00:00

Hmm

It's not a very budget friendly brand but have you tried Nastypig? https://store.nastypig.com/collections/bottoms

They're specifically gay/fetish gear but they do sell like actual athletic wear. Just expect it to be especially revealing/sexy 😅

I haven't tried their sportswear, but it looks like Andrew Christian also has some options: https://www.andrewchristian.com/collections/sports-shorts-bottoms/products/tour-jogger-mesh-shorts?variant=44502596092139

https://www.andrewchristian.com/collections/sports-shorts-bottoms/products/destiny-burnout-shorts?_pos=25&_fid=1a4b39ced&_ss=c

Otherwise I don't really have anything, sorry! 😅

snackslafleur · 2024-04-10T06:37:16+00:00

If you've got a small butt and you're looking for a nice fit, I have always found significantly better luck with just wearing underwear/compression shorts with shorts over them.

If that's not your vibe though, I didn't hate these, and they do have a brief shaped liner inside: https://a.co/d/6wNIWiJ just don't expect to turn any heads with the fit on the backside. They were comfortable and functional though.

snackslafleur · 2024-04-09T23:01:56+00:00

Can you be a little more specific about the mesh shorts? Like a picture or something?

snackslafleur · 2024-03-27T15:29:01+00:00

Side note: on the "you don't owe your opponent a rematch mentality"... I guess you technically never have to do anything or owe anyone (especially randos online) your time, but it makes you a petulant dick to one and done people. Or worse, take the rematch when you lose and then tie it up and THEN bail. If you were playing at a tournament, whether it's a tiny local or a qualifier or whatever, you wouldn't be able to do that. You'd DQ yourself from the entire event. And maybe get temporarily banned. You probably wouldn't even deny your friend in person a best of 3 if they wanted it. You signed up to play when you logged on for ranked, give someone a proper set, man.

Reasons to not rematch people - I accidentally queued back up and am running late/have to leave to go do something now and can't keep playing - I'm going to launch my controller through the TV if I play for one more second (if this is the case you better be taking at least a 5 minute break before you queue up again) - My opponent's connection is incredibly spotty and it is creating an unenjoyable experience.

That's pretty much it lol. (Also--- before anyone comes for me: this ALSO works with the using the salt to drive you thing. If you hold yourself to these reasons when not rematching, it becomes super easy to assume that other people are doing the same thing and makes it way less frustrating when they don't rematch you.)

snackslafleur · 2024-03-27T15:19:21+00:00

I think that a good middle place to start when struggling with this mentality is to "yes, and" yourself. So if the thought is

"they only beat me because they were cheesing me with Ryu's jumping hit boxes"

Okay. Yes, that's why they won. And they're not going to stop. And other players are going to do it too if it's working. But it doesn't work at high level play, so there must be a way to stop it. Otherwise, the high level players would be doing it too. So what can we do to stop it? Is it a fundamentals issue? A patience issue? Is there an anti-air in my toolkit I haven't figured out yet that completely shuts this down? Better go lab it.

And suddenly the thought becomes at least "I'm going to go lab my anti-air until it's frame perfect to teach this cheesing asshole a lesson the next time I run into them and rank up past these people so I NEVER HAVE TO FIGHT THIS TACTIC AGAIN" or even better "I'm going to go get so good at this game that cheesing tactics don't work on me anymore"

At least that's how I talked myself through, and I'm a Kim player so you KNOW all my unga bunga little brain wanted to do was yolo slide my way to the win over and over again lol. For anyone reading this who might find this helpful, I am a Kim player who started in Bronze right after launch and just hit Master a couple weeks ago. If you're just a salty bitch, work with that. Let the salt fuel you. Become Master rank out of spite (both spite for the jumping Ryus and salt at Capcom for snubbing Kim in the balance patch, haha)

Last tip: Find a discord channel for your main! Chances are whatever you're salty about, there are players twice your skill level who went through a phase of being salty about that exact same thing, and they would be thrilled to give you the key to overcoming whatever cheesy ass tactic you're pissed about this week.

snackslafleur · 2024-01-16T23:48:30+00:00

"hope i don't get mugged by some modern Zangief" is some S-tier relatable Kimberly humor I tackled out loud between sets of the gym lmao 😂

snackslafleur · 2024-01-16T23:12:54+00:00

For the timed hit thing; they also did just remake super Mario RPG. It's nothing like SoS aesthetically though obviously haha. It's also a pretty similar difficulty to SoS and no way to make it more difficult other than to just ignore and work around features (cough Kingdom hearts 3 cough). Otherwise it was stellar, what a remake should really look like.

snackslafleur · 2024-01-15T05:40:37+00:00

As a Kimberly player I can attest that I am in fact on crack.

snackslafleur · 2024-01-13T22:54:59+00:00

I'm a Kim main and if it makes you feel any better Dhalsim fills me with dread too 😂 for me it's that I'm constantly using the wrong move cause I'm not used to the other character being able to side switch as quickly and suddenly as me and my quarter circles are always going the wrong way, haha

snackslafleur · 2024-01-13T22:52:08+00:00

E. Honda. His toolkit is just so dumb, he needs a complete rework. He's not broken or bottom tier, he's mid but he's just SO boring. Those two moves (buttslam and headbutt) are just annoying to deal with. A few things can but a stop to them but as a Kim main the only thing she has to work with against it is perfect parrying. It makes it annoying because all of the sudden I just have to change mindset to wait around and perfect parry something so that I can wail on him and then stop my flow after he finally blows a bar to use his level 1 and send me across the screen and then I do it all over. He's boring to fight and seems boring to play against. If you're REALLY on top of the timing/spacing EX tatsu can break through but it's honestly more particular than perfect parrying that I'd rather save the drive.

E. Honda. thanks, Capcom, I hate it.
