A doppelganger of sorts replaces a character, but it’s entirely for the better. Despite being an unearthly monstrosity, it’s well meaning, good intentioned and has everyone’s best in mind. Unfortunately this isn’t seen as a good thing by the crowd the original ran with, and those who find out are at a crux between liking the person and fearing the monster.
I’d argue Batman’s equally bad, it’s interesting that he’s not super by the definition everyone wide uses, but trauma an only carry you so far
Superman is such a single note character that the good things that came out of his existence can all be counted on one hand. I get that he was foundational to the concept of superheros, but it shows in this day and age.
I will say the monologue in justice league while he’s slapping around Darkside is immaculate though.
This guy knows his pens, don’t buy them from that link though, dollar tree has them for $1.25
It’s a buck 25 now, but you can get two Inc brand R2 pens at dollar tree. They’re the only thing I’ve written with for nearly a decade now. They’re a smooth ballpoint with a slight bleed in 0.7 making your penmanship look bold, smooth, and steady. Everything my handwriting lacks. They now make a 0.5 and is equally as clean but far better for smallest script. One pen lasts me about 6 months of regular writing.
I actually stumbled across it in Highschool looking to see if there was any precedence for videogame chaos magic in history and it ended up being a big influence on me. The concept of cosmic truth being unattainable was a huge existential relief, I don’t have to strive for any greater than I need.
The idea that all spiritual practice is arbitrary rules fueled only by the beliefs of the practitioners helps me more in my practical life than spiritually. When you really stop to look at it, so many stressors are just internalized arbitrary rules. I can run a race and choose what place I want to be in, I don’t have to choose first place.
I already develop a defined pattern during summer when my outer arms, legs, and back tan significantly faster and darker then my inner and chest regardless of how much sun I get. I think I’d like the same style but with a defined color difference, like Nigerian on the outside and Polish on the inside. Though if I got to pick Unnatural colors I’d go for charcoal grey outside and porcelain inside. Really accent my natural affinity for tattoos.
I’m just gonna ruin it for 90% of the replies here and drop the unusual articles page. It will have pretty much everything.
Also Chaos Magic is a wild ride.
I’m new to fdroid, does anyone know of a swype capable keyboard? I’m using SwiftKey but I hate that it’s owned by MS now.
In the same vein, fossify notes is so incredibly nice after years is notepad apps being riddled with bullshit!
I’d like to think I’m not so backed into a corner that violence is the answer, so I’ll do what I do every day of the week: keep my head down and wait.
If push comes to shove, and the lives of myself and my people are genuinely threatened, I won’t retaliate in kind. I come from a long line of people that knew the benefits of blending in. I may not have the moxy to be a firebrand or to rally others to a cause, I may not have the heart to pull a trigger, but I have the means and skill to make triggers and the good sense to stay away from they places they get used.
It may not be the heroic sense of most Americans, but I was born into an America that sold us an action hero instead of providing us safety and I’ve never been one to buy rhetoric. I will not give my life for a cause, I will live to see it succeed.
From my personal experience having just taken it up as a craft a few months ago, the most cost effective option is to buy dishwasher safe 2 part epoxy, dishwasher safe clear coat, and gold mica powder separately online. That’s what most sets are made of, but you get a much greater quantity if you get them individually.
Personally I went with food and dishwasher safe options because I plan on doing it to fill the chips in a 70’s easter pastel dinner collection that my partner and I absolutely love. The juxtaposition of honorable Japanese artist craft on ketchy Americana dinnerware just delights us. Bonus points is that mica powder comes in a lot of colors so you don’t have to only use gold! Personally I feel copper on black glazed ceramic would be gorgeous but you can also get glow in the darks and thermoreactive.
Literally anything from Aldi. Every single sweet they sell there is amazing, stupidly cheap, bafflingly well made.
Outside of that, Easter egg reese’s pieces eggs. They have a way better ratio of peanut butter to candy shell than the little bits.
Every time I meet someone I warn them I’ll probably can them Francis for the first few weeks, it’s the only name I remember. After that they usually get a laugh out of it and play along until either the name sticks or they get a nick name.
That’s an option I’ve considered and from what I can tell the property might belong to an old guy the town over, but I can’t find any recent contact info. I’ll look into contacting city records.
Actually, catnip was on my garden list already! I was planning on getting fast and loose with the seeds so this won’t take much extra.
Well the dogs are constantly trying to get my son, the burning plastics can be smelt in the house, they’ve broken a section of our fence trying to get their dogs, and of course the 3am motorcycle business.
We’re currently working towards cameras, and while we have fences, they’re ranch style so they don’t stop anything that’s more persistent than a dead cat. We have been breaking up our Yucca grass and trailing it along the fence to help keep their dogs out.
This is actually the tactic I used on the rest of the neighborhood. The small town charm and my double chocolate brownies cooked in a waffle maker (I call them Wownies) has me on good terms with everyone from the dealer down the street to the homeless under the bridge. Unfortunately these folk don’t bite when I offer and bite too much then I don’t. After the first few tries they just started trying to hang out in my yard and started peaking too close at me workshop.
There’s a similar episode in the twilight zone that could be interpreted as this too, but I’d like to play with it a bit. As an otherworldly entity it doesn’t play by human rules, imagine a gang thinking their just bumping off some cleaned up junky that’s gone straight and all of a sudden they’re being stalked through a mirror realm by a nightmare abomination who periodically dips out to take it’s estranged kids to therapy and volunteer at the community garden.
