Isn't the entirety of Continental Europe only a train ride away?

European coutries are very good at intranational train networks.

Fine. France, Belgium, and the Netharlands, then.

Also, AW, given that it's mid November, might I highly suggest you watch the film In Bruges and then actually travel to Bruges in the winter with the snow coming down and a freezing fog covering the streets and it looks like a fairy tale?

Same for you, Fyr. Really, everyone, but I imagine the European folks have the easier and cheaper access than the American continent peeps.

Always pay attention when eating cookies, to avoid getting raisins and chocolate-chips confused. Biting into one when you expect the other is jarring, regardless of which it happened to be.

Unfortunately I have to change at France. Really puts the damper on travelling to Europe.

God, mood. If I ever wanted a raisin cookie, I'd be just as surprised to chomp down and get chocolate instead!

I got married this weekend!

No major catastrophes, almost everyone made it, we felt loved and celebrated and special. The past few days have been so cozy and stress-free as we:
1. Decompress from the flurry of activity,
2. Make plans to follow up on all our 3-minute conversations at the reception,
3. Can finally think about our holiday plans, and
4. Realize just how busy wedding prep had made us.

All in all, 10/10, my wife kicks ass, we are both over the moon about the weekend's festivities, and we are both still very tired

Congrats! Weddings always seemed fun, but I've only ever been as catering staff. I'm glad yours went well!

Congratulations! I love weddings, but so few of my friends care about them.


My weekend wasn't so fun. Our girlfriend is leaving the polycule, so much sadness has ensued since Sunday

Super congratulations to you Ionathus!

Many congratulations! The best I can do here is quote the letter my Aunt sent us when we got married:

A word on marriage:

"It resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be seperated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them."

The Rev. Sidney Smith

You ever think that having some kind of power would be neat but at the same time you just know it would bite you in the ass?

Seeing ghosts would be cool... But I'd either go insane or feel obligated to help lingering spirits pass on to whatever's next, assuming there is anything next.

A thousand and one blessings upon your union.

I feel like you'd like the series "Mieruko-chan: The Girl Who Can See Them".

Honestly you'd probably get sick of the sheer banality of their reasons for staying around. Help one ghost complete their dream Warhammer army helped them all.

And a thousand and one condolences to you.

Thank you. I've passed the rapidly fluctuating anger and grief, now it's just letting the feelings settle.

Judging by how I feel about my first ex it should only be about one eternity.

[Rater202]

Judging by how I feel about my first ex it should only be about one eternity.

Yeah, that'd be the gamble, mia amiko.

Whenever you open yourself up to someone, you run the risk of getting hurt and no matter how the relationship ends the hurt never quite goes away.

On the other hand, if you never open up... It's one of those many, unfair paradoxes of existence as a sapient being.

[LaZodiac]

If it helps at all, it gets easier- and you still have a solid support network to help you out.

That seems like a very specific example in a question that probably doesnt have many examples.

Time control powers. I could get so much stuff done.

But I wouldn't. I could, but I'd keep procrastinating.

My weekend wasn't so fun. Our girlfriend is leaving the polycule, so much sadness has ensued since Sunday

Arf, that sucks.

[TaiLiu]

also hey, you're nonbinary and your avatar is Mew. Gou from the Pokemon anime is nonbinary and hunting after Mew. Coincidence?

Yes. But still neat.

Oh! BTW I started watching Journeys recently. I dunno about the Japanese, but the English translation genders Goh as male. Which is too bad, since I was looking forward to a nonbinary character.

(The trainer in "Bidoof's Big Day" is never gendered, so I guess they might count.)

Sometimes the logic behind thefts is really odd - way back someone broke in to my car and the only thing they stole was the 2-gallon container of water. They left the toolkit and everything else there...

Maybe the thief was homeless? Water would be much more valuable than a toolkit.

Always pay attention when eating cookies, to avoid getting raisins and chocolate-chips confused. Biting into one when you expect the other is jarring, regardless of which it happened to be.

I like how you have both kinds of cookies openly available. I don't think I've ever been in that scenario.

Sorry to hear that. Hope things go better soon.

You ever think that having some kind of power would be neat but at the same time you just know it would bite you in the ass?

Now that I think about it, not really. Maybe it's a power fantasy thing. I don't think about the consequences cuz it's not the point.

True but he does have cute eyelashes so that's pretty gender nonconforming? And he does have a lot of adorably shippy moments with Ash. Still, a damn shame they didn't go the full monty as it were.

[Peelee]

Apropos if nothing but the film The Full Monty was criminally underappreciated in the States.

I literally have never considered wondering why that phrase exists and now I know thank you Peelee for this cursed knowledge.

[Rater202]

I mean, cute isn't necessarily gender-linked.

I'd like t be cute. And smol. Sometimes.

Other times I want to be big and swole.

And then there are the times I want my armor to be like tenfold shields, my teeth like swords, my claws spears, my wings a hurricane, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, and my breath death.

...When I feel like being comprehensible or corporeal at all.

[Peelee]

I highly recommend watching the movie.

Oh, yeah, I guess he does have those eyelashes. They're pretty subtle (and when it overlaps with his eyebrows they look like a scar). And yeah, I did notice a couple of those moments in the beginning. Which surprised me a lil, since the anime is like aggressively straight.

Have you read the comic where someone transitions from a human to a dragon? I feel like you'd like it.

Fun fact, we don't actually know why the phrase exists! It's also kind of fallen out of fashion IME.


I really should watch that film.

Meanwhile I'd rather be cute and smol while still being able to kick ass. Like a Kung Fu nun, I'd be happy being a Kung Fu nun.

I have little desire to leave the rough human form behind. Although I suppose that skill leaves the option of being a cyborg Kung Fu nun. Probably with some kind of mecha-habit.
