The etymology of the interjection pog is so insane like:
1. People are saying "pog" because there is a twitch emote named pogchamp
2. It's called pogchamp because the face of the emote is this guy:
3. who is a youtuber and streetfighter player who made this face on a video because of a production mishap and later won a competition of the game Pog for which he made a video titled "Pog Championship" that featured this face
4. Pog is a game also referred to as "milk caps" where you stack disks and slam your disks into your opponent's stack to disrupt them. They look like this:
5. The game is called pog because it is commonly played with novelty bottle caps from a drink also called POG
6. The drink is called POG because it's an initialism for its ingredients passion fruit, orange, and guava
7. Passion fruit is native to South America and got its name because Portuguese missionaries used its five-part shape as an allegory for Jesus's stigmata to explain the crucifixion of Christ to the Brazilian natives
8. The word passion comes from the Latin patior which means "I suffer" in reference to the suffering of Christ on the cross
9. The Indo-European root of patior has been reconstructed as *peh- "to hurt" which is cognate with English fiend
I need people obsessed with discourse and identity politics to understand that bigots don't ask for your label before they discriminate against you.
They don't say, "Oh hey woman holding hands with another woman, you're actually bisexual? My bad! I was going to call you a dyke but now that I know your actually bisexual I won't treat you badly."
They don't say, "Oh you're a cisgender woman who's a butch lesbian? I thought you were a transwoman and was going to call the cops, but I won't do that now that you've verified your identity."
They don't say, "Oh you're a transman? I was going to catcall and harass you but now that I know you're a man I'll respect you and leave you alone."
Like arguing and belittling and shitting on each other because some tumblr post or tweet convinced you your own community is the enemy....it does not matter to them. They will harass us all, beat us all, call the cops on us all, it does not fucking matter what our labels are. We're all suffering and we'll continue to suffer the more we let them divide us.
"your days are numbered" yes that is quite literally how the calendar system works
1) Width. Add it.
2) Width. Just. Yeah. If you want to draw a really big guy - do it. The third guy is ok, but it's just a small guy with belly!
3) Gravity! More fat - more soft - gravity goes brr.
4) Basic shapes and clothes would definitely help you to draw a big comfy soft guy!

how did you get banned on soundcloud?
A month ago during the “soundcloud is going down” scare I wrote a script that basically downloaded my entire corner of SoundCloud at incredibly abusive speed and got bandwidth-banned for a month since CloudFlare detected it as a mass DDOS (which is fair I mean I was downloading like terabytes of data)
So help me, I love JRPG bosses with stupid meta strategies that exploit some quirk of the mechanics to ruin your day. Like, yeah, cast a spell that changes my primary damage-dealer's damage type to an element the boss is healed by, and I can't even remove it because it's technically a buff and all of the condition-removing effects specifically don't remove buffs. Give me a boss whose passive aura grants spell reflection to the opposing party, which in practice prevents me from healing myself but doesn't hinder the boss at all because literally all of their attacks are physical type. Go on, make it weird.
losing my mind at this amazing story from r/dndmemes some people’s dnd adventures are just. So Fucking Cool
here’s the link and the story, it’s Amazing
Hey Mr Gaiman, my husband just came home from work with a "really good gossip" about good omens, in which the firsts nominations for a movie back then was Robbie Williams for aziraphale and Johnny Depp for Crowley. Then I told him I could just ask you about that hahahaha
Is that true?!
It is. Terry Gilliam wanted to make it into a movie in 2001 and Robin would have played Aziraphale and Hastur, and J Depp would have played Crowley. He went to Hollywood in Feb 2002 to choose the studio. Everyone at ever studio said no.
yeah no offense to confucius or anything but if i was about to embark on a journey of revenge i would simply not dig two graves
