I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
I insisted on calling them this throughout high school because I thought the word hoodie was dumb. Tbh I was probably annoying about it. Eventually I caved, but I still think hoodie is kind of a dumb word. So is jumper for what it’s worth.
I’ve heard of this but never experienced it. I always got verners for an upset tummy… so now it’s basically ipecac for me. Can’t have any ginger ale now actually.
I remember in Revenge of the Sith, when the actor playing Vader yells “nooooooooo”, at what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the trilogy, the theater roared in laughter....
My friend and I saw Deep Impact in the theater, when the plan fails and the comet fragments are still going to hit earth, there is a dramatic moment when they explain to projected impact sites. One in the ocean and one … in Canada. For whatever reason my friend and I both burst into laughter when they said Canada. The whole theater turned to glare at us.
Pardon my ignorance, but I thought a “weeb” was someone who obsessed over Japanese culture in general, not just anime. So let’s say I have a degree in Japanese studies but don’t geek out over anime, am I still a weeb?
I had no idea they weren’t internationally renowned, but I grew up listening to 89x so I guess it would make sense that I knew of them despite being American.
On my multi-player play through Wyll fell hard for my Paladin (probably because he’s a goody two-shoes) and when he asked him to dance I was like “sure let’s have a fun time in face of this overwhelming catastrophe” and then after the dance was done I quickly realized it was quite a bit more than a dance. When I politely informed Wyll that I did not care for him in that way the look of hurt and betrayal he gave me… it made me wonder if I should quick reload and be gay for him, so I didn’t hurt his feelings. -_- poor Wyll.
And I think this is the crux of the problem and where most of the hate comes from. You can have a good kaiju movie without Godzilla, but can you have a good Godzilla movie without Godzilla? I would argue that no, you can’t. I would also argue that the monster from that movie wasn’t Godzilla… it was Matthew Broderick. /rimshot
But seriously, a lot less people would have ragged on that movie had they given it a different name, but arguably a lot less people would have seen it if they had given a different name. 🤷
The first CD I bought was Very - Pet Shop Boys. I liked the single go west quite a bit and the CD was very different from all the other albums in the record store.
I do not remember my first tape, but I do remember that being the first CD I spent my own money on.
Oh man, my family loved Super Solvers Midnight Rescue! I vividly remember playing that with my older siblings, but our monitor was green and black, no color, so I’d never actually seen it before in color. But the music stuck with me and probably sparked my love for In the Hall of The Mountain King.
Also had Ernie’s magic shapes and colors… which was pretty hard to do when everything is green. What were my parents thinking buying a color matching game without a color monitor?
I apologize, because this kind of sounds like a “not all men” comment, but I promise it’s not meant to be. Unfortunately abuse is not just limited to being perpetrated by men, if I recall correctly Epstein famously had a female accomplice, who was apprehended and is serving time. Anyone perpetuating abuse is despicable and deserves our hate. I guess that goes without saying, however your use of “men” just stuck out in my mind and I wanted to make sure Ghislaine Maxwell and her ilk also get an equal amount of outrage directed at them.
I don’t know if I’d call 20 years a slap on the wrist, it is a significant chunk of time, but it is no where near enough for the shit they did. When I went to Wikipedia to double check my info and saw that was the sentence I was appalled that was all she got. They do all deserve a life sentence for what they did.
I started playing during revised, specifically with the Fallen Empires expansion, and thought that the 4 card limit had always been a part of the game. I looked at my Pocket Players Guide from around that time and could not find that rule. After a little bit of research I ran into this comment on reddit, www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/…/clh3ip7 which seems to have an answer although their source linked no longer works. In 1996 the mirage rule book has the 4 card limit listed under “house rules” and in 1999 the Sixth Edition Comprehensive Rules Document has the 4 card limit listed as rule 100.2
Again unfortunately the link to that document is broken so we can’t be 100% sure, but it seems the answer is sometime between Mirage in 1996 and Sixth Edition in 1999
The thing that sticks out in my mind right now is the steamed pizza buns (pizzaman) from 7-11 in Japan. That feels somewhat embarrassing to say because it’s just a convenience store snack… but I miss them constantly.
I’m pretty sure it’s the same for me, with perhaps the one exception when the party masqueraded as a traveling musical troupe and had to name the troupe. However when the masquerade ended the name was never spoken again. So maybe that kinda counts?
There has been a ton of CSAM and CP arrests in the US lately, especially from cops and teachers, along with at least one female teacher seducing boys as young as 12. I cannot understand the attraction to kids. Even teens. Do these people think they are having a relationship, or it is somehow okay to take away another human...
I am not an expert in any field relating to any of this by any means, but we can all agree that CSAM is unequivocally reprehensible. Thusly many people will have severe issues with anything that normalizes it even remotely. That would be my knee jerk response anyway.
Is it a sweatshirt or a jacket? (lemmy.world)
