Hit a patch of frustration with this one agency’s website, so taking a break to post last night’s

D&D thought; instead of “vegepygmies,” which is vaguely insensitive to the actual Mbuti, small sized plant people in my campaign are “veggie mites.” No linguist can decode their language which appears to be only three words, “strewth,” “shite,” and “fuck.”

I'm sort of a psychological equivalent to older aircraft you see in museum collections, where people just needed a Polikarpov I-16, Bristol Beaufighter, or w/e they could put in the air for a few years, and decades later some curator's unexpectedly trying to keep it from completely disintegrating.

re: Very minor spoiler for Locked Tomb series (Gideon the Ninth) 

@Bel_tamtu I loved the first book. Initially I'd bought the second cheap, first and was told I HAD to read the first to make sense of it - not entirely true, but I stopped about halfway through Harrow to read Gideon. I still haven't read Nona, and I didn't know there were more coming out!

re: Latin text 

@ziphi I eventually figured it out - it's not a book I'd read, but things got held up because the internet is now good for finding the most common word usage and therefore "Scartaris" got lots of results for "Tartarus," which isn't what I actually typed in my search bar, now is it.

every year rich people who haven’t lived through anything more difficult than chicken pox, make it harder and harder to survive

@arakin wait how can you remember *that* verbatim, and still be unsure "victims, aren't we all" was from the movie?

Something I hadn't considered is that since life doesn't actually work in tidy binaries it's entirely possible to feel I'm moving forward in a couple of respects, and scrabbling not to fall further backwards into depression and stagnation in a lot of others.

@arakin Yeah, I was listening to the score! It's at the part where Eric meets Tin-Tin.

@Tuftears Savory. They're sort of the original everything bagel!

oh YEAH my favorite Pink Floyd track, defined almost entirely by how much it reminds me of Lord of the Rings

@Tuftears weirdly not just one but a couple of places do them here, and I don't think it's a regional deal!

HOT TAKE: bialys are to bagels as apple/cherry/banana fritters are to doughnuts
