I'd call what you're doing "cooking".

I'd call what she's doing "not cooking".

This is certainly one of the best ideas here. I second this, wholeheartedly!

Pico underwear. Arguably the best material I've ever felt.

Ukraine has been an enthusiastic adopter of Starlink after Elon Musk responded to Russia's invasion by shipping antennas valued at over $80 million to the country

For some reason, I'm reminded of the Trojan Horse.

This is true and I've seen it. However, I still think that it's possible someone above didn't want to acknowledge that they were a bad read of character. That's how it felt in the situation I saw firsthand anyway.

The sorcerer finds this approach a bit sadistic to implement for their taste, though a chuckle escaped unguarded.

Unfortunately, you must understand, as you are part of the reality you inhabit, you could not be aware of a song that never existed.

Did you just say rotund?

I think that's a healthy outlook. What it was, was indeed just a bad idea.

 

This ability of the sorcerer will wipe any one song of your choosing from the pages of history, as if it never existed! Gone from our reality. They were going to do it anyway, but they're making you choose.

Which song would you pick?

(If you really can't narrow it down to one, then try narrowing to three)

Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!

For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon

One that comes to mind for me: "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

 

BEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL POTENTIALLY BE ALL KINDS OF SPOILERS BELOW IF THEY ARE NOT HIDDEN By participating, you are consenting to spoilers you might come to regret :)

There's a spoiler-hiding button on Lemmy but since this discussion is about spoilers, I'm not sure how useful it will be.

Does any time in your memory particularly stand out as a truly regrettable spoiler?

examples:

  • warned of a Spoiler Alert while scrolling on YT comments or threads, but clicked anyway. You regretted it.
  • watched weekly-released shows with friends and you weren't caught up but needed to know what happened before you watched it, and you regretted it.
  • haven't seen the movie, thought you weren't going to, you spoiled it for yourself by finding out the plot, and came around to watching the movie and thought to yourself "It would've hit better if I didn't know before hand".
  • podcaster gave a spoiler alert, you proceeded to ignore it, you regretted ignoring it.

It's such a specific feeling of regret, so I am curious how others' experiences were and how they compare.

For me,

spoilerI keep spoiling myself with the show Bleach, reading into the lore and finding out info before actually chronologically watching it (TV)/ reading it in the manga. I come to regret it when I didn't experience the creator's (Tite Kubo) work myself first, then follow up with reading into it for background info. In the earlier part of the series I didn't spoil myself and I feel it was a richer experience because of it.

Also sometimes I listen to "Get Played" which is a podcast about gaming, where they frequently enter "spoiler country" and I love to hear them talk so I get my cowboy hat on and follow them in. I regret it only part of the time.
