Yesss scorpion pepper sauce! 🦂🔥

Spent about the past 2 months going, uh this egg isn't broken, it's uh... Meanwhile getting yolk and broken shell all over. Coming out of the shell is not a linear process.

On the plus side, I went to Pride House for the first time and met some cool and kind folks. It was nice to be Out for the first time.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Generally well liked by audiences, D&D nerds and film buffs. I watched it and enjoyed it. Some highlights:

• Good storyline with consistent characters and a well paced plot. Good acting and notable names in the cast with some newer talent too.
• Creators clearly loved their source material. Lots of world building detail if you're into that. Good mix of both practical effects and special effects. The Paladin's intro and the Jarnathan scene are good examples of practical effects side, and the dragon and spell casting are good examples of SFX.
• From the D&D side, you get the feel of "just a bunch of friends getting together for a tabletop adventure." They ham up the comedy a bit. The Paladin is like a player or DMPC that joins for one session and then peaces out. Apparently even the events of the combat sequences go in initiative order.

Fun movie, would recommend.

My advice is not financial but rather about relationships:

• Money and finances are one of the top things couples fight about.
• Psychologists have observed that couples have the same disagreements (or fights) over the long term course of a relationship, and these can be used as touchpoints to assess the couple's emotional maturity and overall relationship health.
• So, whatever financial arrangement you agree upon, commit to it in a way that actively reinforces the importance of the relationship, fosters open communication, and strengthens your bond with one another.

"Hmm, maybe you're right. Maybe I'm not good at second guessing."

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing.

OK hear me out: It should be named after the first European explorer to discover it and popularize the European expansion: Christopher Columbus.

• Like its namesake, the nation too is racist, cruel and genocidal. Even the Spanish Inquisition era Catholics were like, damn Christopher!
• Like the largest exporter of cocaíne in South America, it too is full of drugs, and its elections are the plaything of big money cartels and foreign powers.
• It was mostly settled by white people from England.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you your new nation: British Columbia.

"Bottom - detected"

Ok I will admit AI is good for some things.

It evokes a Devil May Care attitude towards risk and danger.

Edit: also... this

I see they're following the Tumblr model:

• Get bought at overinflated values.
• Ban all NSFW content.
• Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
• Valuation plummets.
• "Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We're just going to try best efforts moderation only."
• Sell at near total loss.
• There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.
