It's not that surprising. America doesn't have a cultural history with Moomin. It blew my mind to find out how popular the IP is in the rest of the world.

It's a shame though because I would have loved Moomin and Asterix the Gaul growing up in Texas.

So is the official policy going forward to lie about the economy?

Is there going to be any backlash against this?

In the long run it's dumb and cringe.

I think you get to make that call.

I'm glad I got included as the orange speech bubble.

Today is Chicome Coatl (7 Snake) in the Tonalpohualli. Party on nerds.

Well have fun. I escaped Texas and I hope I never return.

I'm from Houston. The food is way better, but the traffic and humidity are worse.

As a dude that is from and spent over 3 decades in Texas my reaction is, "Well they're not wrong." Texas and especially Austin is terrible, but them being there is making the place worse.

Look at its face. Look at its weird hands. I would say that's a blue horror in a green skin suit, but it's even worse.

 

Another weird pic that I stumbled upon while researching Aztecs.

 

This came up during my Aztec research. I have absolutely no context of why the god of ice and judgement is in Jerry's apartment.

 

I've been very stressed lately and have been doing some window shopping to calm down. I'm interested in gadgets, but a lot of things can just be replaced with apps. I realize a phone won't replace very large appliances like refrigerators or washing machines so I'm trying to scope my question to portable devices. So what are some portable devices or gadgets that their specialization hasn't been replaced by smart phone apps? Extra points if they're super useful and reliable.

 

When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

 

I don't own decorations of any kind for any holiday. I live alone and I don't really celebrate much of anything. So my questions are:

  1. Do you decorate your home, office, automobile, etc. at all?
  2. If so which holidays?
 

I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

 

I love goblins and lizardmen. Goblins because deranged little dudes running around is always a blast. Lizardmen because alligator people with melee weapons are the way I wish dinosaurs evolved instead of being birds.
