He is NOT the small god of jingles, and he really wishes people would remember that, and stop calling on him every time they have the plop plop fizz fizz song stuck in their heads again.

“Booty call” and “butt dial” has been offered up as an example of where the literal meaning of two phrases is the same but the implied meaning is very different (denotative vs connotative meanings).

I'm trying to use Krita. I want to be able to both draw and erase on the canvas using *only* the mouse. So I want to be able to do any of

2. Map "change brush mode" to right mouse button.
3. Map change brush color to right mouse button.
4. Use a brush mode where when I draw, my brush strokes invert the contents of the current layer where the brush passes over it.

I finally managed to farm all of the rare tails in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. I didn't keep track of time exactly, but it definitely took way more than 24 hours total.

The most annoying part is knowing there were other methods I could have used. Good thing I had stuff to read and watch while I was at it...

Your periodic reminder that South Park is ragingly transphobic and you should consider that fact before you bring it up around your trans friends.
