Technically, boars don't drop fewmets. Only deer drop fewmets. Boars drop lesses, or more accurately, leʃʃes.

ladyplantagenet reblogged your post and added:

@fuckyeahrichardiii yaaaasssss give me the…

I will indeed. yOu will have ample fodder for breaking awkward silences. Do you want stuff on boar fewmets? I’ve got some stuff on boar fewmets somewhere. Or, Edward of Norwich does. I just sit at his feet and fan myself.

OK but that picture is great though.

As I was picking up my breakfast, the girl at the counter asked me how many times I had to “lift.” It took me a second to figure out she was referring to bleaching my hair before I color it. I told her just once; my hair comes up pretty well. 

She said “Wow, just once? That’s great… I see your hair has some greys and those sometimes are resistant to lifting.” 

OMG child. Really.

What about when you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee?

Wait, wait, no. That’s a moray.

i’d like to clear it up once and for all

things that ARE amore:

when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie

when the world seems to shine like youve had too much wine

when the stars make you drool just like pasta fazool

i will NOT clarify this again, these are the only things that are amore

... most of these? I mean OK maybe not most, but a lot of them.

Near Dark also by Kathryn Bigelow. It’s vampires not SF but in the neighborhood. Deep Impact Aeon Flux Real Genius Tank Girl

Anyone have any recommendations for science fiction movies directed by women? I’ve tried searching around, but most lists I find are very lacking. So, if you know of any good ones I should check out, let me know.

(Not Strange Days or anything directed by The Wachowskis, I’ve see those)

Random question: Anyone here enjoy playing NSFW video games, and if so would you mind being interviewed about it for an online article?

You know, I just don’t think letting superheros compete is fair.

But now I’m wondering how all these facial recognition algorithms we’re coming up with now are going to take to the Bright New Transhumanist Future

Like, okay, we know Google can recognise dogs. But what about stranger things? Is anyone training these things on lizards?

Imagine basilisks specifically designed to crash these algorithms: abstract-blocks-of-black-and-white-for-heads that, like the QR codes of old, carry a hidden message in their patterning, only it’s a payload, a virus that shreds the system of anyone who tries to capture it on camera, the natural evolution of anti-face-detection camouflage. Imagine things that don’t even have faces, that don’t have an equivalent and easily-cataloguable part; people who deliberately wear mass-produced, identical android bodies, the Guy Fawkes masks of the future.

Straight calorie restriction did nothing for me. I didn't get heavier, but I certainly didn't get any lighter. What worked for me: Intermittent fasting 24-on 24-off (aka eating every other day) and going low carb high fiber high protein (no bread, no rice, no potatoes, no pasta. Lots of bitter greens, kale, sprouts, lean meat, tofu, onion, celery, tomato, etc. Also a daily multivitamin and extra vitamin D). I dropped 40 lbs in less than three months.

i just found out something weird

ok so i have been really baffled for years by the fact that, while eating what is essentially a mild starvation diet, i keep getting fatter. i eat roughly 800-1400 calories a day, with occasional (once or twice weekly) larger meals when someone brings me a burger or we order pizza for gaming. by all the rules as i understood them, i should be worryingly skinny, despite being so stove up with chronic pain that doing my daily physical therapy (400+ calories worth of exercise) feels like walking on a broken leg.

for years, i’ve tried to get medical professionals to tell me wtf i’m doing wrong. all but one told me ‘eat less exercise more’ because they basically didn’t listen to me at all. my gp, bless his soul, listens and cares and tries, and i’ve given so much blood for so many tests but it’s all normal normal normal. nothing wrong with my thyroid or glucose or any other damn thing he can think of to test for.

well, today i was looking up calorie counts trying to think if maybe i was just… somehow… miscalculating how many calories a peanut butter sandwich was worth or something? maybe buttered wheat toast and a fried egg is actually somehow 2000 calories instead of 200? maybe that once a week two slices of pizza is secretly an apocalyptic shitfeast instead of a slight relaxing of the rules?

and i came across a bunch of articles from nutritionists and sports trainers pointing out that on around 1000 calories a day (some say as much as 1800 for a full grown male, some say as little as 700 without specifying gender) your body goes into full on famine mode, shuts the fuck down, and stores every calorie you give it beyond what’s required for mere survival.

it could be that the solution to my ever-growing problem is to eat more.

i’m honestly not sure i can. i don’t have much of an appetite. i eat pizza on fridays because it’s gaming night and it’s social; if you could order a nice bowl of tomato basil soup and have it get delivered from the pizza place, i’d eat that instead. but i’m going to try eating a thing of yogurt or a handful of trail mix between meals and see if it helps. *fingers crossed*

But Jurassic Park isn't old! It's... wait... math... hard... Oh my god. It's old. I'm old.

Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?
