  • I figure it's because the year can be seen as an optional appendage if you're talking about dates from the current year. Like, I can say "that happened on May 5th," or "I'll be there June 18th," and you can reasonably assume I mean in 2024 unless I specify "June 18th, 2063."

    Now, as for why you can say "I'm going on the 18th," but Americans don't say 18th of June, 2024, I haven't a clue. We really only seem to have logical explanations for the way we do things about half of the time.

  • I'm biased towards Y2K from the nostalgia, since those were the prime years of my childhood right before my teenage years kicked in.

    But, I love the design of that time because of how obsessed with futurism everything was. It took the future chic look of the mid-late '60s and revamped it, taking that hype for the future- with the Space Race- bringing it back, and updating it for the Information Age.

    It felt like we, as a society, had so much optimism for the world that was to come. So, if anything, I think that's what I'm mostly nostalgic for. I was so excited to grow up in that world. Damn.

  • Wow. I can't believe that actually worked.

    (Tip: you have to keep it in there for a pretty absurdly-long time, or it'll still come out kind of raw. Basically, hold it in until you think you can't possibly hold it anymore, and then add another 2 hours)

  • Blenders. Gender ephemeral. Intangibles. An even cooler fourth option, probably.

    There are tons of cool names you could go with when your identity lies outside of preconceived boundaries (and pretty much transcends them). But, non-binary's pretty clinical-sounding, so I guess it's easier to work into a professional setting or something.

  • About time, too! It felt like nobody was talking about it through the whole first half of this season, and I was starting to get worried it was gonna get passed over, which would be criminal.

    Especially since telling my friends, "Yooo, one of my favorite mangas is getting an adaptation. You guys gotta watch it. It's gonna blow up, I swear." Then..near-total silence. Started making me sweat, hah.

  • Oh! And be sure not to forget the part where Jim Jones then proceeded to turn his gun on himself and take the quick death instead of suffering the way he forced everyone else to.

    Funny how often monsters turn out to be cowards as well. History rhymes, I guess.

  • I'd like to say it'll be something pithy like "Thank God that's finally done with," but, more likely than not, it'll probably be "Ah, shit, aaaaghhh, fuck, this sucks, God dammit, this hurts like hell, ughhhhh shit," and then the sounds of me groaning my final breath and softly shitting my pants.

  • I often wonder why I never see any sites with like a bi/pan mode that just lets it all fly and shows you everything on the site all at once. Having to constantly switch back and forth throws off my battle rhythm.
