Wut

I didn’t believe you. Had to zoom in and yeah, you’re right but that’s bizarre!

I know it means nothing but, as an American, I’m sorry for the havoc our political system wreaks on your feed and on the world in general. We’re not thrilled about it either, typically.

I asked someone which third party candidate they think I should vote for in a thread where they were saying third party is the only anti-genocide vote. Six hours later and I still don’t have an answer. It’s so disingenuous.

Okay, as a Californian, which third party candidate do you suggest? Because it ain’t Jill Stein. Which candidate do you support over Harris?

Oh! I thought of one, Gwendolyn Christie.

I knew a Genevieve in college, and then my son’s best friend in preschool was a Genevieve who went by Jenny (or Geny?) and now my daughter has one in her class, so they’re making a comeback maybe?

I’m fond of “Gwendolyn” but I’ve never met or even known of one, to my knowledge.

I know a 10-year-old Agnes! And also a 40s/50s-ish Agnes (I can’t guess adult ages well).

Yeah that made me question whether I was right or not, honestly.

Went through my comment replies, only one I found was @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world

Sometimes it’s not the kids’ fault. I’d say most of the time the parents need to be involved in some way with the costume (buying, making, helping to make) and some kids just don’t have present parents so I don’t want to punish them for that.

Also I really don’t want leftover candy in my house (because I’ll eat it) so…

And sell it to them. Capitalism gonna capitalize

Legit though, I would have loved a pregnancy book written in Monty Python style while still being informative. This book was dry.

One of ours is kind of similar. We don’t put our hand all the way around her head but we definitely squish her ears down and pet her head really heavily and she loves it. If she’s really into it, you can start at her nose and pet her whole face, head, and neck, eyes and all. She’s very aggressively into it, lol.

I know it makes me super basic but… dragons. I know, it’s not inspiring. But I must add a caveat. I prefer that they are intelligent, on par with or surpassing humans in intelligence and willing (if reluctantly) to interact with them. Game of Thrones dragons are cool and all but they don’t really do it for me in the same way as, say, the dragon from Dragonheart.

Plus it ended on a cliffhanger and season 3 is in jeopardy last I heard.

Ack thank you, I mix them up even though I’ve never read Brooks, who seems to be better loved.

It’s probably not the worst for me either but it’s easily the first thing I think of. Really left a bad taste I guess.

Oh yes I agree! And I’m a huge dragon fan, so it was extremely disappointing. That one I gave up on after maybe 50 pages. I couldn’t get past the prose. So I didn’t even get to the heavily recycled tropes, but I did see the movie once and they were plenty obvious from that.

No Such Thing as a Fish, from the QI Elves. Funny, informative, rarely about current events which is a breath of fresh air. Just nerds getting nerdy about stuff.
