    My wife’s family is extremely health conscious and typically eats like rabbits. There’s not a dish they have encountered that couldn’t be “improved” with a metric fuck ton of broccoli, kale, onions, zucchini, etc. But they also love brownies. It is typically their only indulgence at family get togethers.

    But instead of using eggs and oil in the mix like it calls for, they substitute those evil fats with applesauce instead. It kind of sort of works from a textural standpoint, but it definitely still tastes vaguely of applesauce which is not super desirable in a chocolate brownie. Ostensibly the idea is to make it “healthier” and lower calorie. But given all the sugar and other carbs in the batter (including the added sugar from the apples) the calorie difference is negligible but the end result is not the same at all. It feels like they missed the point and messed up the brownies for no reason at all. Doesn’t stop them from calling them “healthy brownies” though. Stretching the definition of “healthy” reeeeaaaal far.

    Hey OP, did you know that the voice of Ducky was a little girl named Judith Barsi? Did you know that Judith also voiced the little girl character, Anne-Marie, in All Dog Go To Heaven? And did you know that Judith Barsi was brutally murdered along with her mother by her father who then killed himself? And did you know that this murder happened between her lines being recorded and the release of either of these films? So when you fell in love with a little duck billed dinosaur saying “Yepyepyep” and a little orphan girl who talks to animals, you were listening to the echos of a voice of a murdered 10 year old girl.

    Why did I bring this up, OP? Because you made me sad, so I’mma make you sad too.

    RIP Judith



  • Ah, yeah, that adds up. The strip club and everything.

    Obviously the joke of the meme itself is that video games are a lot of things to a lot of people, many of them quite wholesome. It’s not just tits and masculine power fantasies. But if you stick someone who already leans toward that way of thinking in front of a screen and make them play GTA… yea, that’s gonna be a deep hole to dig out of. Maybe she has seen the memes and come around to the idea that there are other sorts of stories in gaming. Probably not, but maybe.











  • I really don’t think I’m going to be able to keep my mouth shut the first time I see someone actually wearing the 2028 hat in the wild. It goes beyond politics, ignorance, even bigotry. It’s traitorous. It’s antithetical to the American system of law. It is support of dictatorship. You cannot be anything but a vile treasonous piece of shit and wear that hat.
