Migrating here (or maybe keeping both) from @[email protected]
Will put an eternal curse on your enemies for a Cinemageddon invite.
When I finally learned what an astigmatism was I said "oh shit I just thought that's how eyes processed light."
Ayy thanks for letting me know that keyboard shortcut! I try to keep that terminal window open but sometimes I accidentally type exit and have to open it again through the GUI, f4 is much easier!
I wouldn't know, I tried to get it 3 separate times and they were consistently out. Guess that does say something about how good it is or it says something about false scarcity being good advertising.
Tbf, I want to go to Kuwait just for the Taco Bell (and then maybe swing by the Afghan/Pakistan border to check out the market and buy some cool hand engraved shit, but,) Kuwait is the only country that has Volcano Tacos still. I want to bring home, portion out, and freeze an entire bag of that fucking sauce and then I can turn taco bell here into Volcano Tacos (without the red shell but who cares, the secret's in the sauce.)
Lmao it's one of my favorite words. Yeah I don't see many of y'all either lol, I'm guessing it's a smaller instance which is cool.
You also may be able to change it in your settings to always display the full name btw, if you wanted. In Eternity you can for sure and I'm sure others too.
Usually I'd agree, I've been called a kid for a lot less myself, but in this case the subject is a word more grating than the classic "Moist."
Of course, they do carry billy clubs and blunt instruments are quite capable of killing people too. Sure mass shootings would be harder (assuming we could do one single thing about the six hundred million guns out there already, which, good luck) but single brutal murders w/o guns are also a problem and typically target women, lgbt, and disabled people.
One correction, adult in age alone* lol.
No actual "grown adult" says cummies (outside of "for the meme" of course), those are large gross 25yo children.
Problem is that most of your anti-gun folk aren't crazy, or don't want to appear as such, and so they placate the defenders of gun rights with phrases resembling "I believe we should be able to have handguns because self defense buuuuuut nobody should have semi auto rifles." Of course, the second they do ban long guns (curbing a total of 500/60,000 gun deaths a year mind you), they'll switch to "oh well clearly that didn't work so now we're taking the handguns too." It's literally by design, simply a tactic to fool those who won't bother looking into that whole "only 500 killed with long guns/yr" stat, nor the fact that 5.56 only delivers about as much energy as a hot .357mag rnd, but the Barrett .50BMG which is bolt action and therefore totally fine delivers about 10,000 more ft-lbs of energy, etc.
Besides that, the 2a protects things "in common use" according to Heller and "must have a historical precedent for bans," according to Bruen therefore handguns do fall quite under the scope of the 2a and a ban would be ruled unconstitutional immediately.
Besides that, self defense is important, and unless you suggest people start open carrying ARs, the best way to do it is to CCW a compact 9mm handgun.
Furthermore "guns shouldn't be for the poor" would help to curb crime, but at what cost? That is pure T bona-fide classism and I don't support it, personally.
Tbh, no. I expected they would be about 32 using the word "skeet." I'd expect the youth of today to say "cummies" or some other abject disgrace of a word lol.
You think there's a lot of Trump supporters around here that need to hear it or something? I guess you'd have to go to trumpsocial or whatever they call whatever site they congregate on to talk to them, but plenty of ardent Biden stans are here to hear the Biden hate.
Biden stans are also seen by most of his detractors here as simply misguided, not entirely lost causes. You can likely surmise they think the exact opposite of trump supporters, who mostly around here would get stuff like "kys" instead.
You can say what you want about their politics, but the prevalence of Biden memes and the lack of Trump memes is logical for those reasons and likely more, as another commenter said you can only clean your own house and all.
Not sure what a letsgo bin is, but the batteries used by good vapes are nipple-less 18650s. The disposables just have soldered in li-ion batteries, like these but smaller https://cdn.littlebird.com.au/images/files/000/049/461/large/AF-354.jpg?1535766057
Maybe buy juice from a reputable company then, or make your own like I do. You technically don't know what pesticides were sprayed on your fruits and veggies either unless you grow em yourself, you don't know if the cook at the restaurant you ordered at put arsenic in your soup, live a little.
As a guy who makes his own juice, it's nicotine derived usually from tobacco or sweet potatoes suspended in a solution of either USDA food grade vegetable glycerine or propylene glycol, which is then mixed in the appropriate desired concentration with USDA candy/food artificial flavorings and more USDA food grade VG/PG.
Enter the still li-ion but rechargeable and reusable 18650. Fuck disposables.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 07/03/2024
List is out! Small one for me which is good on the wallet for sure!
Space Ghost #3
That's it lol. I was missing one in my box last week that should be there this week though, so there's that! What're you grabbing?
but you're responsible for not trying to vote them out and writing off the entire fucking party as the same.
What do you think I've been doing for the last 30 years, sticking a finger in my ass and checking for smells? Again and again I've done "my part," and nothing has changed. Your anger is misplaced, misguided by the very people I speak out against into attempting to silence any dissent to The Party™. Fuck off lol.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 06/26/2024
List is up! Let's see here..
Animal Pound #4 - Updated retelling of Animal Farm, it's fantastic.
Rare Flavours #6 - This is the end of the road. This book has been fantastic, the art is great and so is the writing. I believe it was the same team that did The Many Deaths Of Laila Starr and I'll be following these two if they team up again. Ram V also wrote The One Hand which is a great series too.
Blue Book 1947 #5 - I like cheesy alien stuff, sue me lol. It's about the history of UFOs in the US, aptly named. I already new most of it but they did teach me some new stuff too, and I like the B side stories in there. Last issue.
Lester Of Lesser Gods #2 - Silly fun
Operation Sunshine Already Dead #3 - LPOTL guys, basically vampire oceans 11, one issue after this, can't wait to see what they have next!
William Of Newbury #2 (Of 4) - Cute raccoon monk fights demons, what's not to love? Also, there was a real guy by this name in the middle ages but I don't think he was a demon fighting monk.
Sacrificers #9 - Man shit has been going down in this series.
Universal Monsters Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives #3 - I'm a nerd lol. I think they're doing all the Universal Monsters which I may or may not pick up.
w0rldtr33 #11 - Shit has been going down in this series too lol.
Whoo! A lot of shit but a lot of shit I've been waiting on. What's on your lists?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 06/19/2024
New list is up! Small week for me but that's alright!
My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #2 - It's dumb, I like dumb. I got this last week though, idk why it's on this list. Was surprised to see it last week since it wasn't on that list.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution #2
Man's Best #4 - I've been digging Space Homeward Bound, excited for this one.
One Hand #5 - End of the series (maybe one more six fingers). Been good!
What are y'all getting?
Comic Book Storage
I'm kinda new to collecting but as my collection grows I'm running into an issue, I need a decent way to store them.
Currently I have two BCW plastic boxes and one of their cardboards, and at least enough comics in a stack to fill another box.
What should I do? Should I stick with cardboard for price and use the plastic for the most valuable ones or larger runs like Ice Cream Man? Should I look into Legal size file cabinets? Some other comic furniture? I'm thinking it may be worth it.
Taking recommendations or just "I do X," anything helps, thanks!
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 06/12/2024
This week's list is up! For me this week:
Into The Unbeing Part One #1 - Cover looks cool, I'll probably grab this.
Batman Gotham By Gaslight #1 (Facsimile Edition) - I like weird Batman, definitely getting this and:
Batman Gotham By Gaslight The Kryptonian Age #1 - Because why not? 1890s Batman sounds coll
Ain't No Grave #2 - The first one was pretty good, gonna continue this one
Geiger #3 - I do like me some SuperFallout
Remote Space #1 - Looks and sounds cool
Rifters #1 - Brian Posehn's Time Cops
Dick Tracy #2 - I dig it, usually avoid rehashed IPs but this one is ok.
What're you pulling?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 06/05/2024
Light week for me, thankfully, since I've had other things I needed. But still one I've been excited for!
Minor Threats II The Fastest Way Down #3 - Minor Threats is great, Scott Hepburn's art is so detailed in strange ways that just give you a taste of the scenery, and Patton Oswalt's writing is fantastic. Can't wait for the next series already, Minor Threats: Barfly, following one of those aforementioned background elements: what appears to be a punk kid that got Goldblumed (see: The Fly.)
Space Ghost #2 - It's no Coast to Coast but I liked issue #1, we'll see how long I stick with it.
I Hate Fairyland #15 - I love I hate Fairyland, as confusing as that sentence sounds.
What's on your lists?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 05/29/2024
New list is up! Not much for me this week:
Dawnrunner #3 - Mechs VS Eldritch Kaiju, and memories from the past. Great so far!
Operation Sunshine Already Dead #2 - Love me some LPOTL guys.
Grommets #1 - Honestly not what I'd usually go for, but it's Rick Remender and Brian Posehn, who apparently has been writing comics since his stand up career. I loved his stand up back in the day, so I have to pick this up.
Six Fingers #4 - Love both this and the connecting The One Hand
Universal Monsters Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives #2 - Classic monsters and Ram V
w0rldtr33 #10 - This series is pretty fucking good. Honestly kinda rolled my eyes when I read the elevator pitch but checked it out and have no regrets.
William Of Newbury #1 - Idk about this one but I'm at least gonna thumb through it, looks interesting.
What's on your pull lists?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 05/22/2024
Big week for me, but that's because of some back issues I'm grabbing. As for this week's releases:
My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #1 - Looks weird, I like weird
Man's Best #3 - Loving Man's Best so far
Blue Book 1947 #4 - Aliens are fun, we need more aliens, I want comics like Edd had from Ed, Edd, and Eddy!
Bat-Man First Knight #3 - The Bat is alright, also gonna pick up a few bat back issues from the 80s while I'm there.
White Boat #1 - Don't know much but the cover looks cool
Blood Squad Seven #1 - Same as above
Rook Exodus #2 - Not gonna lie I'm probably dropping this. It's neat and stuff but tbh the selling point is that it shares a universe with Geiger, and honestly I'm not sure how much I care. Probably dropping Redcoat too, same reason, though I do like that a bit more.
What's on your lists this week?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 05/15/2024
Fishflies #6 - Nearing the end of this 7 parter. A kid is shot, the shooter turns into a...thing..., the thing links up with an outcast little girl who identifies with the outcast criminal, somehow this all connects to previous cases and a darker secret in the town that I don't know yet.
Ice Cream Man #39 - This got delayed like 4mo, I've been waiting! Part 1 of 2, (neither part is "required"). They're always about sad things, this one is about car crashes.
Napalm Lullaby #3 - This one has been OK so far, if this issue doesn't drop something interesting enough to keep me around I maaaay drop it.
Redcoat #2 - Also unsure about this one, though I do like the whole "historical cult" thing.
Doom #1? - I mean tbh the only reason I want it is MF DOOM. I know this Doom isn't as good of a lyricist though, so we'll see.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 05/08/2024
Sorta big week for me it looks like, mostly Image.
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #6 - Favorite out right now full stop, this is ostensibly the last issue, but he says he has ideas to continue "if they let him" and frankly I assume they'll beg him to with how popular it has been, so here's hoping.
Ain't No Grave #1 - Scottie Young, looks promising.
Geiger #2 (2024) - I like Geiger, but not sure I'll keep up the rest (redcoat, rook, etc). I mean I'm primed for the whole "nuclear wasteland chic" thing because Fallout (when the hell are they going to release Grognak comics etc btw?!) anyway and it's superhero-ey but new. To me anyway, so it doesn't feel tired.
I Hate Fairyland #14 - Love this series, it's just good old silly fun. The last issue wasn't my favorite, but the previous like, 39 are great lol.
One Hand #4 - Shit got real in the last connected issue, can't wait to see how this one connects to that!
Sacrificers #8 - All in on this one, let's gooooo! I'm so glad it got more than the og 6 issues. In this issue we should get back to our Peculiar Pigeon Protagonist!
What's on your pull lists?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 05/01/2024
This week's list is up! Let's see..
Lester of the Lesser Gods #1 - Sounds interesting enough,
>"Lester, the larping bastard son of the Odin, wanders the post-apocalyptic wasteland after thwarting Satan’s attempt to bring about the end of days. But can this hero of the downtrodden survive the battle arena of Will Frye the Technomancer Guy."
Minor Threats II The Fastest Way Down #2 - I'm all in on Minor Threats, Patton Oswalt done did it again.
Blood Brothers Mother #1 - "For fans of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." Well, that's me.
Light week for me it seems, what about you?

New Comic Book Releases List for 04/24/2024
Man's Best #2 - I liked #1 a lot, looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Rare Flavours #5 - Ram V is killing it in this one and I love Filepe Andrade's art.
Dawnrunner #2 - Mechs vs ...eldritch kaiju? I'm in.
Operation Sunshine Already Dead #1 - If you missed the first run of Op Sunshine check it out. Made by the Last Podcast On The Left guys Marcus Parks and Henry Zebrowski (aka Gary from Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell), who also did Soul Plumber. The last run sets up the world and the plan for an Arcane Oceans 11 situation, this run they execute the plan. Art by David Rubin.
Spectregraph #1 - I'll probably pick this up, the dude who does w0rldtr33 is doing it.
Mythologies And Apocrypha #1 - If my shop has it, they usually neglect Fantagraphics.
Six Fingers #3 - Following both sides of this one.
Universal Monsters Black Lagoon #1 - SOLD! And it's Ram V? Sold again.
W0rldtr33 #9 - This series is great!
Honorable Mention: Pooh vs Bambi #1 - What the FUCK?!
>"In war there are rules, but the forest has none. Abandoned by his country, betrayed by those he once called family, and hunted by those who want nothing more than to keep him as a trophy, Pooh is on a mission and no amount of honey will sate his thirst-he wants revenge!"
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 04/17/2024
Lotus land #6- Been ok, kinda just finishing it up because I already have the rest.
Blue book 1947 #3 - I like this one, the story of the origins of our alien lore
Batman off world #4 - I love this one, weird little batman series.
Golgotha Motor Mountain #2 - Meth from space turns people into cronenberg monsters. I'm in.
7174AD #1 - Idk shit about it, I'm 100% judging this book by its cover, but it looks interesting.
That's it for me this week, what about you guys?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 04/10/2024
List is up! Short list for me but one I'm excited about:
Bat-Man First Knight #2 - 1930s The Bat-Man (just had to lable it that way instead of "Batman" huh?) #1 was great!
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #5 - You know me, love this series
I Hate Fairyland #13 - This one is right up my alley as well
Napalm Lullaby #2 - #1 was ok, not sure I'll stick with it.
What're y'all reading?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 04/03/2024
A lot this week it looks like, might have to make some cuts, let's see..
Minor Threats II The Fastest Way Down #1- I have loved the first series and The Alternates, gonna keep going on this one. I like Patton Oswalt's writing and the art is great.
Geiger #1- I liked the last series on this one too.
Redcoat #1 - Ghost Machine, shared universe with Geiger and Rook
Rook Exodus #1 - Damn man all in the same week? Can we stagger these?!
Sacrificers #7 - New arc, probably most excited about this one this week, or tied with Minor Threats.
Deadpool #1 - I did read all of Deadpool Vs Cable back in the day, maybe I pick this up.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 03/27/2024
They went easy on me this week!
Primer #1 - I totally didn't used to write graffiti so I'm definitely not intrigued by the cover. We'll see, if she's more bomber than "street artist" I'll be picking this up.
Six Fingers #2 - I think I prefer The One Hand so far but it's really cool having both sides. The One Hand (Ram V) follows the detective, The Six Fingers (Other Guy) follows the murderer.
That's it! Thankfully, because next week might be kinda heavy. What're you pullin'?
Lotus Land #5 - Been pretty good, almost over may as well finish it.
Man's Best #1 - Maybe, gonna flip through it. Pets in space.
Dawnrunner #1 - Ram V. All I know, but the cover looks intriguing and Ram V is good
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #4 - Perhaps my favorite book out right now, if you've been sleeping on this one check out the reprints or trade when it comes out.
Deer Editor #3 - Didn't see that twist coming, this is the last book in series.
That's it for me, what's on your list this week?
What is your favorite alcoholic cocktail?
Or what has been your go to lately? I'm usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I'm trying to branch out a little these days. What're you drinking?
Currently sipping on a Paloma:
- 1.5 oz Tequila (blanco)
- .5oz lime juice
- 4 oz Grapefruit soda (Jarritos today)
- Pinch of salt
Whooo big week, for me and the list in general. Let's see:
Blue Book 1947 #2 - Aliens, WWII, #1 was pretty good.
Batman Dylan Dog #1 - Don't know what it's about but I'll at least flip through it.
Westley Dodds Sandman #6 - The end of the line. Been pretty good for a superhero book.
Fishflies #5 - Fishflies has been great, guy shoots a kid, turns into a giant mayfly creature, on the run with a different kid escaping her abusive dad. Slow going, quarterly I think.
Napalm Lullaby #1 - "A child with unimaginable power is raised to believe he is God by a cult of zealots utterly confident in the moral authority of their religion. The Magnificent Leader has imposed his will on humanity and created the ultimate theocracy. Join them, or be cast out to suffer with the masses." Rick Remender of The Sacrificers, def giving this a shot even though I can't get into his "Low."
One Hand #2 - Ram V, digging the split thing with The Six Fingers.
Petrol Head #5 - Cheeky robots drive fast.
I Hate Fairyland #12 - Should I be paying attention to this one? I guess I'll browse through it and see.
What're you reading?
