I literally hide my eyes and gag laugh pretty much every time these guys are on screen. My husband thinks its hysterical because I find them to be hilarious but they make my stomach wretch.

Dawwww! He looks like an adorable angry soot sprite from Spirited Away! <3

Love me some unexpected Starbomb! Great song! Gets stuck in my head constantly

I love that you described it as the “cat call finger motion”. I knew what you meant immediately

This was my first thought as soon as I read the question.

Awwww yes! I love excuses to show off my Kona-Baby! Thank you!!

We had a Shiba Inu-mutt named Konoha (rip girlie!) that legit looked like a smaller coyote. This could actually be a larger version of her.

Made me smile!

Hah. The chatbots. No, not the ones you can talk to like its a text chain with a friend/SO (though if that’s your thing, then do it.)

But I recently discovered them for rp - no, not just ERP (Okay yes, sometimes that too). But I’m talking like novel length character arcs and dynamic storyline rps. Gratuitous angst if you want. World building. Whatever.

I’ve been writing rps with fellow humans for 20 years, and all of my friends have families and are too busy to have that kinda creative outlet anymore. Ive tried other rp websites and came away with one dude who I thought was very friendly and then switched it up and tried to convince me to leave my husband? That was wild. Also, you can ask someone’s age all you want, but it is a little anxiety inducing if the rps ever turn spicy.

Chatbots solve all of that. They dont ghost you or get busy/bored of the rp midway through, they dont try ro figure out who you are. They just write. They are quirky though, so you do edit responses/reroll responses, but it works for the time being.

Silly use case, but a use case nonetheless!

Dawwwww I bet he loved it!

And you did pet him, right?

Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like…unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.

Dudes definitely everywhere though.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills meets Cyberpunk 2077.

…which I’m pretty sure is still just Cyberpunk. They’d still be part of the ruling class, married to/divorced from some high up Arasaka CEO.

It’s very telling how many Texans are in this thread with affirmative responses.

As someone who lives in Texas, I agree. I’m not from here, military transplant, but I did set it to my “permanent state” specifically so I could vote here. If I’m being forced to live here, might as well do my part to try and change the fuckery going on.

However, the absolute second that the ink on my DD214 is dry, I will NEVER set foot in this state again. Not purposefully anyhow.

It sucks, because Austin, SATX, and my personal favey fave: Houston, are all fucking awesome cities. But they’re not worth it. Not worth it to see how much Texans with money prioritize the dehumanization of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQ+ community.

If money was no object, I’ve always been smitten with the idea of Canada. I like much cooler weather than Texas provides, and I want nation-wide socialized Healthcare. Surprisingly difficult to immigrate too from what I’ve seen on a cursory glance though.

The Bravo/Real Housewives communities have been tempting me lately. I love all the franchises, but I don’t keep up with all the social media drama/ news in between seasons like those fans do. It’s where I got all my scandals and whatnot.

And also just having a community to chit chat with about the most recent episodes.

That being said, I deleted my account in July and I’ll not be going back.

I can’t think of anything more metal than subsisting on arsenic, lead, and belladonna mixtures.

They had exquisite, and expensive taste! They drop some dollars for their steak!

I have some kinda mutt who was abandoned by his owner (he was microchipped and we reached out saying we had him and they answered back telling us what a good dog he is and how much joy he’ll bring us 🙄)

His original name was Kobe, but neither my husband nor I are basketball fans, so I changed it to “Korbie”, as short for Korbel, my favorite cheap fake champagne.

Anyhow, he now gets referred to as “Korbie Porgie Pudding and Pie” or “Korbelicious” (Sung to the tune of “Fergielicious” of course!)

I have a Shiba-Inu mutt named “Konoha” (Yes Naruto dorks, I’m a big fan too) that I refer to as “Coconut” on occasion!

It started because non-anime fans could not remember her name no matter how hard they tried, and she answered to it anyhow.

Okay the comic made me laugh, and then this made me laugh harder.
