I never personally want pineapple on a stock pepperoni pizza, but it's a must-have for hawaiian pizzas and great addition to chicken bbq!

I'm living in a midwestern neighborhood that's awesome about its diverse plantlife, and it'll be so interesting to see how people change their landscapes as the climate changes. The lack of snow has always been back-of-mind since snowy weather is seen as it's own segmented phenomenon, without any visual indicator in photos that something's changed other than less frequent photos. But the slow change to the color palettes of people's lawns will be identifiable in photos and media going forward, and I think that's just (horrifyingly) neat. :)

This project is surrounded by a bunch of Newgrounds and early-youtube animator vets. The dedication at the end is to Monty Oum, creator of RWBY and cinematographer of Red vs. Blue. A bit of an inside-baseball reference, but for those that grew up on original Youtube he was a big part of our childhood (this links to the oldest re-upload of Haloid that exists). He's one of those people that befriended and supported a lot of people in the industry, so the 'In Memory' shoutout was really awesome to see since a lot of the people that worked on this were definitely inspired by him.

Comment on James Franco will be in Rambo prequel, marking his first Hollywood blockbuster in nearly a decade in ~movies
WrathOfTheHydra Link ParentThe entire bedrock to the sexual problems in Hollywood come from those that have power lewding over those that don't, and they end up coercing those that don't into sexual acts not with force but...- Exemplary
The entire bedrock to the sexual problems in Hollywood come from those that have power lewding over those that don't, and they end up coercing those that don't into sexual acts not with force but because of the implication. The entire point is that they could say no, but they don't want to end up in the dog house by doing so. That's the entire play.
The phrase "The power imbalance means nothing if they felt there was an out." is a completely backwards misinterpretation of the problem.

As you said, "we" have cared the entire time. "They" have not cared the entire time.

Trying to keep a relationship with the devil just means that wherever he goes next he'll be a mouth piece to the administration. Which I guess if he really is 'actually a moderate', then he'll fit the lapdog life just fine.
Most people are aware that he's maintaining the bridge, we're just upset that he's doing so.

RoR2 was never 'user friendly' with their visual representations of powerups and objectives, whereas LORT has more simplified and distinct visuals that appeal to me more and allow people to casually pick it up more easily. It's a bit 'early access' at the moment, but it's been a blast for what's there so far!

This is not a hollow statement copy and pasted as a last-ditch throwaway attempt to stifle some sadness so you can keep limping lonely along (as I used to feel about that statement). The beauty of the internet comes from all the stories you hear about people finding their best friends online, but they never fully convey that prior to finding someone they were in a complete social-desert. If you're looking around thinking "damn' there's no one around me that clicks with me", that is absolutely a valid statement. There are a lot of people who try to down play that and just tell you to keep looking, but it is absolutely possible that your near-vicinity of reach is in fact completely barren.
Overcoming the loneliness you're feeling can be a lot. It is not out of the question that you may need to move and travel to be around people that want to be around you. But, and I cannot stress this enough, it is worth finding those people. If you've been lonely for a while it can feel easier to put your head down and trudge it out, and maybe mintain some online connections, but there is something so soul-filling to be in a circle with people in real life you've known for years referencing memories from your relationships. And while you're persuing those relationships, if you stumble through what may feel like detrimental faux pas moments, consider it a filter to see which friends stick around and use that thinking to dare yourself into more social instances to make friends.
Good luck, friend. ✌️

A lot of the talent there have other jobs, and Dropout works with them on their downtime instead of locking them into exclusivity contracts.

I also just did this for my very first time doing karaoke live in front of my co-workers, choosing Death Cab for Cutie's I Will Follow You Into The Dark. Such a great song for new singers to not have to struggle on, but veterans can add some flourish to it.
Most popular songs for men are about 2-3 notes above what I can hit, but these are either in my range or I can improv to make them work:
Your Song - Elton John
It's All Coming Back To Me Now - Celine Dion
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houstin
Evermore - Beauty and the Beast
Part Of Your World - The Little Mermaid
Sunday Morning - Maroon 5
Praying - Kesha
Stand by Me - Ben E. King
Fly Me To The Moon - Frank Sinatra (shoutout @cloud_loud for mentioning this one :D)
I'll Make A Man Out Of You - Mulan
Good Riddance - Green Day
That Funny Feeling - Bo Burnham
Gravity - Sarah Bareilles
Remember Me - Coco
Bare Necessities - The Jungle Book
Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Judy Garland
Back to Pooh Corner - Kenny Loggins
I haven't dueted since Twitch Sings, but a few songs I'd eventually like to try it live with:
Shallow - A Star is Born
A Whole New World - Aladdin
At Last I See The Light - Tangled
Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye
Little Talks - Of Monsters And Men
Gaston - Beauty and the Beast (as Lefou)
Suddenly Seymour - Little Shop Of Horrors -

I felt like I was letting go of the One Ring when I cleared my drive to go full linux. 😅 Having grew up editing old lets plays on Windows Vista/8 with Windows Movie Maker, it was kinda wild to realize I had a strong nostalgic attachment to the Windows interface I never really considered myself to have. Glad I took the plunge, but won't pretend it didn't have some mindflayer tendrils over my psyche!

Ha, to each their own! (or, like, we can share a half-pepperoni and half-pepperoni-and-pineapple :D)
