i’ve played a few games of dnd, and my favorite class to play is the bard, and my favorite bard spell is vicious mockery, which is essentially where you say a magic yo momma joke and the target takes damage. the type of damage is kinda weird, psychic damage, i never understood that, what the hell is psychic damage? how can that hurt you. i should amend that to say that i never understood that until now when reading this caused me to take psychic damage irl
“You know how stuff runs in families? Blue eyes, buck teeth, that sort of thing? Well, Death runs in my family. I remember things that haven’t happened yet and I can TALK THAT TALK and stalk that stalk and…if he gets sidetracked, then I’ll have to do it. And he does get sidetracked.”
in case you guys don’t know, flat tummy or dieter’s tea, works through giving you the world’s most savage case of diarrhea which dehydrates you and you “lose” weight.
all of these girls who are advertising the tea results got there through basically shitting themselves
honestly, i highly doubt they even use the tea. they’re, like jameela said, using dietitians, personal trainers, and plastic surgery and just pretending the tea did it so they can make money.
laxative teas are extremely dangerous when used regularly for weight loss. they can literally kill you. the people advertising this shit to impressionable people–often kids–are human garbage.
Jameela calling attention to this is so refreshing i love her
“um OP don’t you know you’re supposed to have blankets on your bed that you never come into physical contact with” I’m sorry that you live in Actual Real Hell my friend but here in the world of the living I like to be able to rest comfortably without worrying that shifting in my sleep will cause my skin to explode by coming into contact with the Blanket of Forbidden Texture
See this is the kind of thing I was wondering about when posting about why making the bed could take so long. What are you people doing with your beds? I tried to Google this, but it still makes no sense.
Do US people not use those sheets that go on fully around the blanket? And why not? Is the top sheet supposed to function like those sheets, only fifty times worse because there is nothing holding it in place?
Sheets that go fully around the blankets? What the heck are you talking about.
With me you got your fitted sheet (or top sheet that gets tucked in), 5 Soft Blankets and then a comforter.
Do people even use top sheets anymore? I have only seen them at h/motels. Maybe in a very hot climate it would be better to use them versus a blanket? Anyway I have only seen them in-between the fitted sheet and the blankets?
What kavesinisukka means is a sheet that’s like a pillow case for your comforter.
Here we have the sheet that covers the mattress, then you, then a comforter that’s in a comdforter-sized pillow case and that’s it. That’s all the blankets and sheets you need.
You can get an extra blanket on top if you’re Cold but out comforters are designed to keep you warm all through icy winter.
So it’s basically a giant sleeping bag for your comforter? Do you crawl in with it or do you just go under the comforter and comforter case thing???
Huh i just learned a new thing
Heh I suppose that description works. A very thin sleeping bag made of sheet for your comforter. You don’t get into the bag yourself. The sheet is there as a protective and decorative casing around your comforter, protecting it both from dust but also from you, so that you can take it off and wash it every few weeks, because the comforter itself is not supposed to be washed.
This strikes me as something rich people do that needlessly complicates things. I barely have time to make my bed after changing the sheets, you’re telling me people spend time wrestling a giant bulky blanket into a sleeping bag sleeve every so often? It’s hard enough getting the fitted sheet on the mattress!
Why on earth would I own something I use daily that I can’t wash.
But… it’s the opposite… the sheet stays on the blanket/comforter the whole time. When you wash your linens, you only wash the sheet and you just put a new one on the blanket. It’s less work, not more
How I make my bed: mattress cover, fitted sheet, flat sheet, blankets stacked on top depending on the season.
How I think you make your bed, after reading this thread: mattress cover, fitted sheet, flat sheet, stuffing a blanket inside a sleeping-bag wrapper for some reason.
And you never wash this blanket, you just wash the wrapper? Why don’t you have blankets that can be washed? What are these non-washable blankets made of?
After wrestling the fitted sheet on, all I gotta do is stack blankets on over the flat sheet. I don’t have to stuff a blanket inside a special wrapper. If I had to stuff one of my blankets into a special blanket wrapper, that sounds like more work to me.
Hold up, I think they’re using a Duvet cover? When I do my linens, I tend to use a duvet cover so I can air out my down blanket and then wash the cover. It’s also hella warm, so I only use it in the cold seasons, but it’s a way to let my blankets get washed without needing a full wash because they’re heavy and I always worry they won’t dry or fluff up properly. So it goes: Fitted Sheet, Flat Sheet, (layer thin but plush blankets if needed for ++ warm), and then down comforter inside of a duvet cover.
Mermaids with hair over their eyes are usually from deeper waters. The sea floor has almost no light, so deep sea mermaids (few of which have functional eyes) visiting the surface would be blinded by the sun.
To mermaids, covering their eyes with hair is similar to sunglasses.
Deep sea mermaids are also shy, accustomed to dark waters for hiding their monstrous appearances.

L – Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

Z – Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
the context of the last post is that the dr.who expanded universe has a berenstain problem. for years we’d all known that the six chapters were the prydonians, the arcalians, the ceruleans, the dromeians, the patrexes (hi), and the scendles.
but it’s actually, apparently, when you check the source text, “scendeles”. we’d all just misremembered it for the last nearly 20 years.
of course, what we know about the scend(e)les is that they’ve been bankrupt ever since funding their section of the capitoline panopticon (i propose it was because they really went all out on the plastic alien plants), despite the fact that gallifrey is a hive planet and as far as we can tell hasn’t used money in millions of years.
there have been jokes about this for ages. their robes are boring off-white because they buy cast-offs in bulk from the other chapters and bleach them, they’re deeply involved in a gallifreyan black market, etc etc. one obvious joke, when we thought they were scendles, is that they sold off the singular form of their name for pocket change.
the cool thing about dr.who canon? it’s super malleable. officially it’s never been defined. it’s this kind of descriptivist disaster of the widely-agreed-on, for the most part. and that means its completely reasonable for me to say that the scendles were indeed once the scendeles, and there once was such a concept of a singular scendel.
