  • I just had something like this happen when I was posting a macaroni recipe on Discord.

    Folks assumed I was posting some bad stuff because Discord used recipes when they censor vile and virus-laden links, apparently.

    Who knows how long people thought I was posting bad stuff; I love sharing recipes x.x

    Oh, I meant IRL.
    The worst was when I got treated like I was stupid for not just assuming that someone with atypical facial features had some kind of mental disability.
    I mean, it was apparent that they did once I began talking to them, but like Hell am I just going to assume that based on someone’s looks.

    I haven’t interacted with Christians around here.


  • This is the case of an article misconstruing the meaning of a scientific paper… again.

    From what I gather, this is meant to mean the specific context of a gesture having the explicit, consistent purpose- that when it flutters, it means that its partner is supposed to do a specific activity with their nest.

    So its not just the context sensitive “I’m letting you go first” like with a cat, or with many other creatures, its more akin to someone texting their spouse “Can you put the kettle on?”

    The bizarre thing with this really is that its a visual cue, because we see this all the time with sounds, in all kinds of critters.






  • I like the interpretation that the dog is an allegorical representation for a sort of goofus bodyguard.

    The point of security detail is that they just chill and stand by, right? All discrete and such, like the ancient version of the Agent 47-lookin’ dude with an earpiece who fades into the background.

    But because this schmuck is loyal but a dumbass like an ancient Golden Retriever, he opens things up to try and get a better view, so he can find and subsequently protect his peeps like a Good Boi.
    …In a space that historically likely could also function as a brothel.

    NSFW Dudley Do-Right kinda shenanigans.

    IIRC, this is the video that more or less had that interpretation in it:

    I, too, was bothered by the joke for years, and this is the first explanation that has adequately satisfied me.



  • Technically, random race/class/etc upon a new life is really more common with Roguelites. (You kinda acknowledge that, but roll with me. Trying to be facetious with the Roguelike snobbery thing, not sure if I pulled it off lol)

    Traditional Roguelikes usually let you pick what kind of fresh Hell you’re setting yourself up for.

    …So maybe this is Roguelike rules.

    You fuckin chose your species, religion, and class.
    Just not how much food you get to eat, what books you get the chance to read (without tremendous effort on your part) and when you will die.

    Oh, sweet heavens, this is so much worse! We did this to ourselves
