This is how I accidentally named one guy “ThisGuy” and the other, “Thatguy.”

On the plus side, Jim Bob the bridge builder is a long term friend I keep looking up when we visit town.

Bender had his gender bent twice! Once when he had a sex change operation and became Coilette to participate in the robot Olympics, and later when the Borax Kid and the Rock Alien changed the gender of everyone on the Planet Express.

Both episodes are imperfect through today’s lens but I actually did enjoy the Coilette episode.

“You’re making us look bad in front of the other genders!” And “Do you promise to get out of my gender and stay out?”

Same.

I’m not even lonely!

I love your link, but I want to clarify that I was quoting an Futurama opening line.

It just won’t stay dead!

As an older gal, I find him the character I most want to have a sit down with (aside from Marnie, who comes in first) to tell him to get his shit together.

Ras, babe. You need to get back out there. All of life’s mysteries can’t erase how obviously lonely you are. You just asked me if your ex is seeing someone! Let’s do some shopping, get you to a barber, and get you on the magical version of Farmers Only, which I assume is called Mages Only. Magician Mingle? Plenty of Orbs? Castr?

Delicious.

Same witch that did Beast’s curse is the one who saved Gaston.

You have a year to prove you’re not a piece of shit or you die.

She doubles as a quest giver. “Here’s a couple quests. Pick one and do it. Every time you help someone you prove you’re a little less awful, and every time you ask me if you’ve done enough to be saved, you lose a few points of redemption credit, so don’t ask me if you’ve been good enough to not die. Get to cracking on these heroic deeds, chop chop.”

Make a few of the tasks morally complicated.

Make all of them take measurable time. Sure, rounding up sheep for the farmer isn’t too dangerous, but it’ll take you a while and it’s not as heroic as fighting that necromancer… which task do you take?

Slashdot was founded 26 years ago. I’m almost 40, so when I say this, I mean it-

Don’t condescend to young people about being children. You’re just old now. Embrace it. Explain things nicely or be one of those old people we hated when we were young.

I have to say, since finally playing a wizard, once you get fireball it’s hard to imagine life any other way.

…suddenly being a cultist sounds appealing.

Could just be the cramps talking.

I don’t know but I’m now very much considering writing that book, as a scathing critique of how those books are “products of their time,” and as a metaphor for how times change.

I was really disappointed that Pokémon Sleep wasn’t somehow doing a sleep championship. I felt like for the first time, I could be in esports.

This is entirely because he wants to recapture the magic of “Lock Her Up” as a chant.

Here where I’m from in the US, you occasionally hear a “y’alls” and now I’m going to start using it as a cultural gap between your dialect and mine.

What’s that, Seymour? You walkin’ on sunshine?

“I’ve dreamed about you a lot since you disappeared.” What a sad thing to say.

I did not have the brain power to reply so thank you for doing it for me and all of those of us who find it too “normal” to try to answer this for the like 20th time.

Say it again for the people in the back!

I’ve been a woman for 37 years and I have never found a boring white diamond to be appealing. It’s a rock. It’s a boring color. Even as a little girl being shown the first real diamond I’ve ever seen in person, by my materialistic mother who made quite the to-do, I couldn’t understand the appeal.

When I saw the first moissanite in person? I didn’t know what it was, but I couldn’t stop staring at this woman’s ring! It was so… I had to apologize for staring, and when I told her I didn’t know why I couldn’t quit staring, she told me.

“It’s moissanite,” she said, grinning. Apparently, this happens to her four times a day. She told me all about it and even how to spell it. I popped it in my phone.

“I’ve never wanted to spend a fortune on a rock before in my life but I must have one.”

“That’s the best part,” she said. “They’re synthetic. This ring cost me less than $100.”

Since then I’ve put moissanite next to a diamond and the moissanite shines brighter, and more importantly, has a gorgeous rainbow flash. The moissanite wins every time.

And no child slaves. Amazing.

To be fair, the person you’re replying to is saying it wasn’t worth the hassle of hauling it around. You’re saying someone else was hauling it around on your behalf.
