  1. Oglaf is almost always good. And... almost always NSFW.
  2. So Jewish Princesses are also Ice Princesses. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. nsfw
  3. Synthetic stuff out of Louisiana thread is 👉 over here.
  4. Free Justin Tucker... with purchase of equal or greater value?
  5. Absolutely nothing, which is why using them as an insult isn't entirely kosher.
  6. Never, ever say the dildo accidentally turned itself on. A dildo activated itself and created an emergency situation that required evacuating your DMs.
  7. Yep. That one in particular. Though I think nowadays Aggy applies more.
  8. Well, you can tell she puts out. Yeah that's... how? "Hi, yes, see these volleyballs? I'd like em stitched into my chesticles, thanks."
  9. It's definitely reading too much into just one photograph, but it's yet another data point towards that condition. You and I must know very different teens. Meanwhile, there are some quality comments on Reddit.
  10. I like it because it's 0.5mm thick, easily grabbed, and the texture on it kinda scrapes the strings in a very pleasant way when the gain is up
  11. But seriously: Drawing a direct connection between viewership numbers and "what the people want" is the same kind of lazy thinking that got us, say, Episode 9. Andor's low viewership had more to do with Disney having delivered a lot of very disappointing Star Wars shows in a row than people not wanting more of that. At the time it aired, people were fed up with Disney's Star Wars, and weren't going to give Andor a shot no matter how good the reviews were. You see the same thing with Solo -- was it a great movie? No, but it was a very good movie, set up some interesting story lines, but was killed by people boycotting Star Wars after Episode 8. (See below.) And Solo is a great comparison, because now that time has passed, a lot of people who are otherwise bored are suddenly watching it for the first time, and saying, "Hey... this movie was a lot of fun! Why did everyone hate it so much?" Well, they didn't hate it -- those who actually bothered to watch the damn movie. Nearly all of the hate was from people who didn't, and never were, going to see it. Now that time has passed, people are watching it again and saying, "Hey, why don't we get more things like this?" Well, the answer is because you didn't go watch the good things. I mean, the same thing happened with Rogue One, too. In retrospect, a decent portion of the fan base considers it the best Star Wars movie period, and almost no one considers it anything less than very, very good. Is it as good without Vader vamping it up for a half minute and going hack and slash for another minute? Naw, but he ain't the focus of the show. If you just go by how many people watched it, you miss how much they enjoyed it. I mean... by that logic, we should have more things like Episode 9. 60 million tickets were sold to that: And then there's Episode VII. Do all those ticket sales reflect that people want more remakes of Star Wars, just with a different cast? FUCK no, man! In short: You can't just draw a direct relationship between how many people watched a thing and "This is what they want." Anyway.
  12. meh ask again in a few years people hated Empire Strikes Back when it first came out, too
  13. You're gonna have to link me a source because I don't follow that shit.
  14. The greatest guitar pick I've ever used... isn't a guitar pick at all. https://www.ifixit.com/products/ifixit-opening-picks-set-of-6 Awful expensive for a pick tho.
  15. Bullshit. The BEST thing Disney has done with Star Wars was Andor, by far, and there's not a lightsaber or OG character to be seen. We're 100% behind new stories THAT DO NOT SUCK ASS. I personally am behind every gender and sexual expression there is, IF THE STORY DOESN'T SUCK ASS. I can even handle mostly bad writing. Gestures wildly in the general direction of "El Goonish Shive" Get someone with a writing talent above a third grader, why don'tcha. Is finding good writing talent hard? No. FUCK no. But you aren't going to find them if you're hiring based on... whatever process was behind hiring the Acolyte's writer.

    Ewers made throws this year - multiple throws - that were better than anything I've seen any QB in burnt orange throw, going all the way back to the Gardere days when I started watching. He also looked really bad after his injury. Even then, he was still making amazing throws into tight windows.
