Identify a lump of wood for me

[(Anonymous)]

No joke.

I was looking at some furniture made out of real wood, solid lumps not just thin planks or veneers, but I forgot to take pictures or get the name of the timber used.

I was sort of greyish with wide spaced darker rings/lines in it. I don't know the technical terms either, sorry. Does anyone know what this might have been?

That would be birch, and it's lovely.

video games

[(Anonymous)]

Whatcha playing?

Re: video games

[kaijinscendre]

Mass Effect 2. And Overwatch. I just hit level 100!

Re: video games

[(Anonymous)]

Running through the Shadowrun games I hadn't got around to playing. I really like them. Almost done with Dragonfall.

Re: video games

[leisuretime]

I've been playing a lot of Star Wars: Battlefront II. It's original Xbox, but just might be my favorite. I love how uncomplicated it is. Granted, the disc I got secondhand is scratched in just the right place to keep the campign from working, but Instant Action is my jam. I'd been sniping up Kashyyyk for the Rebellion a lot, but I also just started Capture the Flag, which is ridiculous fun as a grunt.

youtube videos that make you cry without fail

[(Anonymous)]

As long as it's on youtube, it counts! Do you have a video that gets you crying no matter how many times you've seen it?

I rewatched My Dog Marimo for the first time in years yesterday, and it was every bit as transparent and saccharine as I remembered it being, AND YET. The first part in particular just rips me apart, and although I think I've figured out all the emotions it's triggering in me and how it's doing so? It still gets to me.

Do any of y'all have something like this? Share them here!

Cliffhangers

[(Anonymous)]

What have been your favorite cliffhangers? Which ones left you on the edge of your seat?

Things people judge you for liking

[(Anonymous)]

... or would judge you, if they knew.

(It can apply to things that aren't necessarily universally unpopular.)

What are you happy about today?

[(Anonymous)]

Stuff you want to see dystopia stories avoid

[(Anonymous)]

For a friend. What things would you like to see dystopia stories avoid? This seemed like the best place to ask this because you guys seem to be very well read and knowledgeable about media shit.

Is it possible..

[(Anonymous)]

for a binge eating problem to manifest in drinking soda? I used to binge eat in high school and after high school. Now I no longer have the budget to eat that way but I still know the underlying problem is there and I feel like it's shown itself in drinking sodas (and coffees).

Regrets

[(Anonymous)]

Big and small! Do you feel you've wasted your whole life or do you wish you had eaten one potato chip fewer a few minutes ago?

YouTuber

[(Anonymous)]

Is it "too late" to start vlogging and try and become a YouTuber? Is it too big and impossible to get into, or on it's way out? Idk. I've felt like it could be a fun thing to get into, but I feel like I'm ten years too late or something.

Not like I want to be a 'star' or anything, but to have a bit of a community and maybe make something of it.

Dealing nicely with weebs?

[soldatsasha]

So we have a kind of temp kid at work who's pretty much a huge weeaboo. He's a nice dude, clearly trying to fit in and make friends at his first job. But he's definitely the type of person who owns a Naruto headband and goes by a terrible nickname like "Noctis" at his high school. Every conversation he's involved in, he turns it into some sort of anime/jrpg thing. Top tier weeb.

Like a fool, I let it slip that I've watched some anime. I was just trying to be less of the Scary Stone-faced Russian Boss, right? Like, "yes I am also a living breathing human person who enjoys popular media." iirc I mentioned that I liked Samurai Champloo and TTGL.

And now he won't stop recommending series for me to watch or jrpgs for me to play, or asking me if I've watched some series or other. I've tried to make it clear I'm not interested but in true hyper-nerd fashion he fails at social cues. I've even gone so far as to say I really don't like most anime, but that's no deterrent.

I'm trying to avoid saying "Look, most anime is fucking stupid and I have no interest in watching moe schoolgirls use their panties to pilot giant mechs or whatever. Your hobby is terrible and anime was a mistake." I don't want to be an asshole about things someone likes, especially since his only crime is being an awkward teenager.

I only have another month of dealing with this, so I should try to just suck it up and deal. I don't want his first boss to be some heartless asshole, you know? But just... ugh...

Dinner/meal time!

[(Anonymous)]

What are you eating or planning on eating?

I made soup. But then I added noodles and forgot that noodles are giant soup sucking creations and that I should cook them separately *then* add them to the soup. So now my soup is more like wet vegetable noodle mess. Still tastey, but not what I was going for.

Karaoke

[(Anonymous)]

Apparently, I'm going to a Karaoke bar with my friends. I've never been before, so questions:

1. Do you absolutely have to sing, and if you do, is everyone a pretty mediocre singer?

2. What sorts of songs should you sing?

What are your favorite happy movies?
