fuck every democrat who says the issue of trans rights is a “distraction.” fuck every single liberal who say that the threat of stripping every trans person of legal recognition is a red herring or a losing issue and if we focus on it too long we’ll throw the election. we’re talking about human rights, access to medical care, sex education, discrimination, citizenship, and a whole lot else, for millions of people.
trans people aren’t a “distraction.” we’re human beings. the fact that so many liberals turn their backs on trans people is fucking despicable.
Plz tell me that I was not the only one who watched “The Land Before Time” and thought that eating vegetables hanging off the corners of my mouth like they did in the film made me a “long neck.” 🦕🍃
Note to vacationing non-Americans: while it’s true that America doesn’t always have the best food culture, the food in our restaurants is really not representative of what most of us eat at home. The portions at Cheesecake Factory or IHOP are meant to be indulgent, not just “what Americans are used to.”
If you eat at a regular American household, during a regular meal where they’re not going out of their way to impress guests, you probably will not be served twelve pounds of chocolate-covered cream cheese. Please bear this in mind before writing yet another “omg I can’t believe American food” post.
Also, most American restaurant portions are 100% intended as two meals’ worth of food. Some of my older Irish relatives still struggle with the idea that it’s not just not rude to eat half your meal and take the rest home, it’s expected. (Apparently this is somewhat of an American custom.)
Opening the fridge the following day and finding delicious, professionally prepared food sitting there waiting for me is one of the greatest joys I know.
WAIT ARE LEFTOVERS IN A DOGGIE BAG NOT A THING IN OTHER COUNTRIES
This leftover quirk would’ve been great to know before going to America because your country confused the shit out of me.
Canada does basically the same thing as America here. Eating the whole dish in one sitting isn’t a faux pas or anything (except maybe if it means delaying the rest of your group while you slowly demolish an enormous dish by yourself) but if you come to a stop while there’s still food on your plate the waitstaff will usually offer to box it up for you, and this isn’t, like, a trick question or anything.
I’m p sure I gained 10kg while in Ohio because I tried to finish my meals at IHOP
gamecube was the best designed controller of all time exclusively for the button cluster that gave you easy thumb roll access to all buttons but also gave you the a button as a thumb rest (because it’s the one you press the most) and took into account the frequency with which each button gets pressed in its design rather than doing the stupid diamond design that gives no button priority and rests your thumb in the shitty blank space between buttons
The Diamond Button Layout Is The Bleeding Stump Where Form Cut Function’s Head Off
(This is the start of a homebrewed campaign where I was a dwarf thief along with my party consisting of a rogue elf, a goblin thief, and a 5 year old murderous human bard who we all found and named Lu)
Ok so in the story our characters had all cheated death in their travels. This pissed off the grim reaper who came to personally kill us and lay waste to our hometown. So we were supposed to die and be sent to hell where we would fight demon after demon ultimately coming back to life and saving our town but this happened instead…
DM: The grim reaper drifts gracefully towards your party. He claims you have all cheated him and the laws of nature.
Goblin: Ooh spooky!
DM: he readies his scythe for battle
Dwarf ooc: can I check him?
DM: roll…*Dwarf rolls 18* He seems to be extremely flexible rarely getting hit almost as if he has no bones or body
Dwarf: Can I steal his cloak?
Goblin: Can I assist him in stealing the cloak?
DM: What? Ok… but you would both need to roll 20 to-*Both thieves roll a perfect twenty*
Oh for the love of-…you Both managed to successfully steal the cloak using teamwork…
DM(Mad): underneath the cloak is a figure of smoke screaming curses in every language possible. He fades into nothing…
