Dark Shadow's Surprisingly Well-Lit Random Banter #217

scared now Peelee

Opposite problem of what you'd think (or, at least, what i thought). E. Coli is apparently normally in our intestines, I just don't have as much as I should. Without going into too much detail, I've been having GI problems for a while now, and apparently the wonders of medical science are both hilarious and icky. I pooped in a box for a few days and slapped some postage on it. A month later, and my doctor knows all about what's going on and how to fix it.

Antivenom is explicitly made with venom poisoned blood. Vaccines have the disease inside. Cure is poison and dying is life. The world's ****ed up and that's alright because "built wrong as a joke" is just how reality functions. In order to have proper digestion you have to have some degree of stomach incorrrectness.

Embrace chaos. My sister's been waking up at 8 PM recently which means it's impossible for her to not wake me up because she exists when I do not and vice versa. We've become a myth.

I had a 2 inch intestinal perforation that put me in septic shock for 6 hours untreated. a very long story follows after this.

later things got out of balance because C. Diffferentia gave me the icky ick problems. I think that sounds like what you are having fun with.

[enderlord99]

I mean it might not actually be edits, considering the series.

Wait, are you implying it's a series where they frequently stand in the exact same pose while disguised as other famous pairs of characters from various media?

I dunno. Things are definitely out of balance, but it's mostly in a "eating at a restaurant is like playing Russian roulette, except the chamber is half full" sort of deal.

Spoiler: I choose to believe this is what you're talking about.

I don't...actually understand where you're coming from on this. There is a communication disconnect that I cannot bridge on my side here man.

[Knaight]

I just got back from the doctor. Apparently, I don't have E. Coli, and that's a bad thing.

Yeah, it's a pretty standard human gut bacteria - it does good work where it is, it just needs to stay there (research labs and industrial purposes aside).

Ender thought what he'd been seeing was edits.
You said that they might not be edits, given the nature of the series in question.
What Ender's been seeing was stills or clips in which the two main characters of Pop Team Epic stand in one pose while dressed as characters from various other works.
Thus, Ender thought you were saying that such scenes (where the characters cosplay as other characters but do their usual poses) are a common part of Pop Team Epic, and not edits. He then attempted to confirm that this reading was correct.


Having not seen PTE, I can't say for sure whether this is an accurate description of the work. It doesn't make up most of what I've seen using the characters, but it's a non-negligible portion and not out of the tone I understand it to take.

Your explanation has fixed things thank you Qwerty.

Enderlord: No those are not edits, yes those are fanart.

Top one. The big circle for the small camera is a bit odd, though.

That's the phone design, not the case. It's a big old raised circle on the back of the phone.

Top one. The bottom one looks unreasonably angry at the magic clouds. Also, top one has cat puns, and educated rodents.

ION:
I walk the rim of the Dreamlands.

More precisely, there's a very specific state of sleep deprivation I can end up in if I'm genuinely trying to go to sleep, but some part of my brain refuses to shut down despite all others being halfway into hibernation already, and I continue to fail for a few hours. Eventually, it seems my pattern matching subsystems go wild, and I start seeking patterns everywhere. Since "everywhere" is pretty limited to the backside of my eyelids, I'm just sampling random noise, and whatever patterns I find are very short-lived and make very little sense, but this doesn't stop my brain from assigning them immense value and requesting that I act upon them, which only is followed by me forgetting what the original pattern was and getting even more confused. And since there's very little sensory input, this becomes the noise my brain goes finding new patterns in.

The end results are near Lovecraftian in nature: Dimensions turn upon themselves and I genuinely feel like I'm going insane. And right now, with only an hour of successful sleep (plus another two or so from a nap last afternoon), I can feel my mind balancing upon the edge of this terrifying realm. Like, I'm coherent, but if I slip up on maintaining my wakefulness, I can feel things starting to warp inside my head.

This is going to be a long day...

[factotum]

Huh. Thats interesting.

That's design for you. Warkitty, I'd go for the top one as well, it's just more visually interesting than the single cat image.

Top one are scholar cats.

Bottom one is a fierce Wizard kitty!

[FinnLassie]

It's official now.

Walking with snow shoes = FUN

[Peelee]

Do they require snow?

Depends how difficult you want to make it.

Way cool!!

on an aside, I found a pic that War Kitty might like:

Ima disagree with everyone. I love the bottom one. Tiny angry things are adorable! They look so fierce yet helpless and the contrast is just fantastic!

[LaZodiac]

The bottom one is good, yeah, but the top one is better in my personal opinion, based on my assessment of WarKitty.

I confess, I don't know warkitty as anything more than that awesome cat person on the forums. They usually post interesting and or insightful things.

Clearly, you don't know the judgemental (and I use that word in a neutral way in this case) capabilities of humans.

I was going to say I'm feline enough to be curious, but I think that's a very human trait here.

I am oddly pleased by being a "they." I think this should be a thing more.

I default to male/female pronouns unless I have reason to suspect someone is a member of the LGBTQ community. IIRC I've seen you answer questions related to such topics and have a presence on those threads.

*Shrug*

It's hard to articulate exactly. Hmmm. Now I'm trying to phrase better. It's like, 90% of the time I use gendered pronouns unless I have a reason to believe that it would cause significant issues/offense. Like, if someone assumed I was female and refereed to me as "her" (I personally don't see that happening, apparently I come across extremely masculine even over completely anonymous web sources). I would politely correct it and move on. It's not a big deal or source of stress for me, you know? But if I see any of a handful of flags that mean it could be a source of distress for that person I just default to they/them to be safe. Less likely to cause unnecessary offense that way, you know?

I mean you're also cool and I recognize you from way back when so I can't help but be a little judgemental. In as good a way as one can mean that, obviously.

Eagles won the Super Bowl. Sorry Patriots better luck next time.
