I went to my optometrist this morning. They don't require customers to mask anymore, but were happy to have all their staff wear masks, including receptionists.

After my appointment finished, I noticed that all the waiting patients had masks as well, which I originally thought was just good luck. However, the receptionist told me that every customer had entered without a mask, and within a few minutes they all either put on their own mask or asked for one from the receptionist, noticing that they were the odd one out.

This experience powerfully showed me that for many, the decision to mask or not is heavily influenced by peer pressure.

food mentioned 

I'm sure someone's already said this before, but why is it easier for advertisers to warn us about MAYO of all things when

(gestures to a list of commonly used TW/CWs)

before anyone jumps in I know that,

"graphic material might be ahead proceed at your own caution"

type of warnings exist, but it's the vaguest warning almost nobody pays attention to

what counts as "graphic"? gore? sex? violence? t-shirts?

nobody fuckin' knows

life really does have tragic misunderstandings that could've been easily avoided if someone bothered to ask a few carefully worded questions, huh :blobcatoh:

the crushing embarrassment that your friend didn't stop texting you because they hate you

but because they lost your number at some point :,)

Food | US exclusive | not vegan or vegeterian friendly 

Today is National Cheeseburger day so the big chains have a lot of deals going on

a few require use of their app to benefit from, so double check that

I'm used to pushing through harsh neg attitudes for info

but sometimes I see a series of comments that restores my base line faith in humanity/society

doing supplement research (again) and sometimes the comment threads on reddit aren't the worst :bunhdcomfyhappy:

recalling the time in art school I had to write a paper about a movie, but then wrote a paper about why I didn't watch that movie

caught up to ep 6 of Uncle From Another World

really not a fan of the isekai harem that's developing

but I'm watching this for an offline pal, so as long as it doesn't get too weird I'll stick around

Pepe is a fascist dog whistle

Some people actively go out of their way to defend pepe by saying they are just a "funny little frog" and so not worth the time to remove from our spaces.

The thing is though, if they were "just" a "funny little frog", then there would be no reason to spend that much effort defending them. Even if you disagree about something being fascist, if you think it is inconsequential you would stop using it as others ask you to or actively ban it. The fact that these people spend so much time defending it shows not only are they lying about it being "just a funny little frog", they know it is a fascist dog whistle and are protecting its usage as that

Do time give these people the time of day. Do not try to debate them. Fascists never cared about truth and are never going to.

To any artists over here on the Fediverse, a new dogwhistle dropped.

I think some of y'all might've guessed, but I bought my 2nd copy of FFCC on the Switch last night :annoyingdog:

​(it's on sale in the eshop RN until the 26th)

it's a Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles OST kinda afternoon

re: video games 

I don't mind open world games when the price tag is free like FF14 or Genshin, because I don't feel guilty for just exploring & not advancing

but I had decision paralysis the second the Skyrim plot started up for real, I had never played an Obsidian game & it was too much

I'm too afraid to even touch BOTW because I'm scared I'll skip over some fan-favorite scene by accident or soft lock myself

it's just too much for me, I play games as a fun escapism, not Homework Simulators

video games 

slowly realizing I really enjoy and need fixed storyline games over open world games

which I kinda already knew, but I was watching an old polygon video about FFCC and he was complaining about the rail-like feeling of the game and I completely disagree?

you get to wander around the map with fun lil random interactions in between! (tl;dr no random encounter grinding other, hurrah!)

to me, someone who loves this game and has played it a lot, the levels feel more like hiking trails

tl;dr ran into a random reel or short where a Scottish (?) woman was telling the viewer not to feel weird about having an American accent and I was like,...

wait, is that a thing people were going to make fun of to my face?
I don't care about global internet memes, but now I'm over analyzing my accent thanks

the doubled edge to those "you shouldn't feel ashamed of (whatever)" videos

is that if you weren't self conscious about the thing before you sure as hell are now
