Probably Ren & Stimpy, if we’re talking actual weirdness. I also liked KABLAM! a fair bit. My all-time favorite weird show (albeit not a cartoon) was Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. I was raided on that shit. Had his suit and tie and everything.

“This!”

“Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!”

Why do they have to say the things? People don’t say the things here.

I was a loser who didn’t seek a real job until I was 25, and didn’t get my shit together and move out until I was 30, but despite all that my dad always loved me and never so much as pushed me. Gentle encouragement from time to time, but always just glad to have his boy around. I live in a different country with my wife now. I have a beautiful daughter and a decent, stable job. We flew my dad out a few years ago and I’ve never seen him so proud of what I’ve become. He loved my daughter so much. We took him out to the Canadian Rockies. That trip meant the world to him.

He had a heart attack and died two years ago.

As tragic as it all is, I watched the emotional shit he went through over the way his father raised him, and his father’s suicide when I was too young to remember, and he made it a point to make sure I never had to wonder if he loved me or was proud of me. He was.

I hope his soul is flying through the universe somewhere and has seen how much my daughter has grown, and has seen my awesome new house. I sprinkle his ashes around my flower gardens every spring just to keep him around. I hope he’s around.

Love you, dad.

This was a problem when my daughter was in a private dayhome, but a licensed dayhome has been a much better experience. Seems like they actually prioritize hand-washing and other hygiene practices. My kid gets sick at about a tenth of the previous rate.

Hey, I had an old internet girlfriend from Beaverton… She turned out to be a bit of whore, but I didn’t know it at the time because I didn’t live in Beaverton. Probably every day knowledge around Beaverton.

I moved here from the states eight years ago and struggle with it every day. But my wife (NDP/Liberal) lives here, her family lives here, we own a house and property here, and my daughter has a really good life. But holy fucking shit, there are certainly lines in the sand and I fear we’re getting closer to crossing them.

Holy fuck. That’s kind of awful. Poor slug.

Consumables in games are usually shit. Witcher 1 is one of the only games that I truly put them to good use.

Would be funny if the ICE agents started having some serious mishaps.

Nice pair of jeans, though…

Average TikTokers be like, “Kud dis be a reel Navajo skinwalker?”

I’m loosely pagan on a spiritual level and I vibe a lot with druidism and many of the things that witches do, but as much as I enjoy the culture, I never fail to cringe over the collective hubris of self-proclaimed witches. It’s always the edgiest 30-45 year old women who wear House of 1000 Corpses t-shirts and extreme amounts of eye shadow, who post “Proud Bitch” memes on social media and exude an undeserved air of confidence because they believe so deeply their spells are real.

While I admit that Wicca is quite beautiful and largely misunderstood, the things most witches/hexers are practicing only date back a few decades. They’re not speaking the ancient magicks or communing with old gods. I can’t speak much on the divine feminine because I’m not informed enough on that subject, but for the other half of their belief system they have taken the rather ambiguous depiction of Cernunnos and turned him into a sexy, big-dicked goat man, and have fabricated their own lore to explain the workings of something that is in reality unfathomably old and lost to man, with no surviving origin story and little to no oral tradition.

We can certainly make some educated guesses, but the bulk of that information died with the druids.

Was Ernest okay?

I can’t see the meme for some reason, but on the subject of ICE raids. I no longer live in the States, but have a friend back home who was sort of illegal until maybe ten or so years back. I don’t recall all the details, but his parents were illegal, and while he was born here, he wasn’t yet registered or something fucky like that. He did attend public schools, so I don’t know what the implication is there. His legality is supposed to be all sorted out now.

Anyway. Biggest sweetheart on the planet. Very shy, but all smiles. Now he has a wife (also Mexican) and three kids, and appears to be living a happy life, but I’m nervously waiting for the day they just stop posting. Sometimes I want to reach out privately and ask him if they’re safe and have a good community, but I worry Facebook will just funnel that conversation to ICE and throw him and his children into Guantanemo Bay.

What a fucked up reality we’re seeing here.

“…why he do it?”

It’s available in Canada, but I’m not sure about the UK. The large Italian sausages come in mild or spicy. We’re not particularly big fans of the spicy variety, but mild is excellent. Not sure how they managed to simulate the somewhat dry and chunky inside of a pork sausage so well. There are also Beyond Breakfast Sausages, but I haven’t tried them yet.

Couldn’t agree with you more! I absolutely love Beyond Meat products. My wife is a life-long vegetarian, and she’s the reason I consume 90% less meat than I used to. It’s equal parts idealogy and convenience. It got really annoying having to constantly cook up my own seperate portions for dinner. I kind of liked her veggie alternatives, albeit lacking in previous years, but then Beyond Meat dropped and completely changed the game. Now I prefer Beyond Beef over real beef. It’s cleaner, it tastes better, doesn’t have to be seasoned, and I’m not taking something’s life from it because I wanted to taste it in my mouth.

Beyond Sausage has also been perfected recently, and I eat a lot of those. I find the newest formula to be indistinguishable from real Italian sausages. And as a bonus, I manage at a grocery store, so I can order in those Gardein Supreme Chick’n fillets/nuggets, or the Gardein Seven-Grain Tenders and purchase them at cost. Saves us a fortune.

Any other suggestions? Plenty of room in my freezer!

I just spent ten minutes trying to figure out what the cutest breed of cow is, and just wound up feeling awful about the already miniscule amount of beef I still consume. Thinking it’s time to call it quits entirely.

We never quite got a good look at the monster in the trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, but seeing this afterward has me feeling pretty satisfied

I posted beneath the wrong comment, but Lemmy isn’t forgiving enough to let me remove it outright. So since I hate grifters too, I’ll just say RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!
