Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Unicorn, but also occasionally gryphon.

  • What do Zelda fans think of the new trailer?

    Jump

  • Anyone who thinks there is such thing as a "wrong opinion" has no idea what an opinion even is.

    And is probably 14 years old, that too.

  • SH2 Remake completely misunderstood what made SH2 a masterpiece and was garbage. At least it didn't look like GenAI. Plus I don't have any personal attachment to SH2 unlike my friend. People just glaze it because they are young and never played the original so they don't get it.

    This one, on top of all that shit, looks like Generative AI. Ugly as all fuck. If you want to pay a fortune to play algorithmically-generated slop that can and will be taken away from you with no warning because you don't even own it, be my guest.

  • [insert the totality of the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream 'Hate' monologue]

    I finally understand what one of my mates felt when everyone was glazing SH2 Remake.

    Trash garbage. Looks AI Generated. Looks like DLSS5. Looks like those old "THIS WILL BE MARIO IN 2016" shitposts from the olden days.

    The shitty runoff of something I loved.

    OTOH, as long as Nintendo keeps sucking, I'm glad, means I won't be tempted to give them any more money, which with how evil they've been, is good for me.

  • Turns Out, There Really Is a Cabal of Elite Crazies Trying to Control the World

    Jump

  • Conspiracy theories are controlled opposition.

    Tell people to be mad at a made up shadow cabinet of rich lizard people who run the world in secret so they won't be mad at the actual, real, existing cabinet of rich human people who run the world out in the open.

  • What's your addiction?

    Jump

  • Food

    It might be an eating disorder

    I avoid talking to my therapist about it because I don't want to confront the truth.

  • What age do you stop trusting the government?

    Jump

  • As soon as I knew what a government was. Age 12ish

    Took another 18 years for me to actually have articulated reasons why other than "feels*

  • What search engine do you guys use?

    Jump

  • Startpage (which is a proxy for bing, but... Yeah)

  • What's the best thing that happened to you this week?

    Jump

  • Profit splits from the corp I work at dropped.

    Basically an extra monthly wage that I don't have to put into rent.

  • Oh, one more addendum to this, another myth related to Corsets:

    "The silhouette of the 19th century was achieved by squishing a woman's organs to the point of death"

    This was rare. Ladies were instead padding everything else. You'll look like you have an impossibly thin waist if you've basically strapped a pillow to your arse and another to your tits.

  • That we have gotten dumber.

    Or smarter.

    Or more moral.

    Or less moral.

    Anyone who says that is trying to sell you some ideology.

    If you know your history, you know humanity has fundamentally always been humanity since we started writing shit down. Possibly earlier, but then we can't be sure because no-writing-itis.

    Some of the oldest texts we have are old men cranking about the kids these days.

    There's stories of people being awful and exploiting each other. There's stories of people taking care of each other and of their surroundings during dark times. There's stories of people being weird little guys. We have just sorta always been ourselves.

  • Started recording history? Like in ancient Greece, one of the gayest cultures in all of time? Like ancient Egypt with its myths about jizz in lettuce? Ancient china with its noted love of femboys and general belief that being gay was just "a thing young men do, that is fine for them to do so long as they do their social duty of marrying and having babies"?

    Maybe prehistoric society was violently heteronormative and it's true we can't know... But saying "cultures were strictly heteronormative when we started recording history" is fucking hilarious. Heteronormativity is if anything a modern disease caught from abarhamic religion.

  • The Ankle thing was less about the ankles themselves and more about how a lady (and by 'lady' I mean specifically rich women, who did in fact wear skirts that touched the floor in a lot of time periods) lifting her skirt implied an invitation for further intimacy while not being indecent.

  • How do I peel a hard boiled egg?

    Jump

  • My boyfriend has this trick where he pokes a hole on the top, a hole in the bottom, and then he blows and the egg just falls out.

    Never managed to pull it off, I just claw at it until it's done.

  • Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour?

    Jump

  • After being burned by a dozen creators, I find it safer for my own emotional well-being to just assume all things beautiful and evocative are made by someone who is secretly a terrible person.

    Saves me from the disappointment of finding out later.

    I'm constantly surprised when it turns out someone famous isn't getting up to some bad shit.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • The rebuttal is:

    Go no contact, if she ever asks why you don't talk to her anymore, tell her she's a complete monster.

  • I have put my wang in grosser things before I'm sure

    But I wasn't about to actually try money-masturbation. For a dozen OTHER reasons.
