Newer hobbyists also seem to see buying stuff AS the hobby. The hobby is slow. you can buy 1 box of minis and spend 2 months making it look nice, you don't need to buy a new army every 3 months.

god, save me from truss...

...but saying that is both not pithy BUT it also forces people to confront the fact that the tools of contemporary capitalism are the same as the tools of historic imperialism and that the modern market system is simply imperialism at a distance. the poor british worker was never getting the spices.

What bothers me about the joke is that it simplified the true nature of imperialism. it was about control of markets and the movement of goods, the revenue from tarrifs on spices was the goal - everything else was a means to that end...

I passed out and hit my head in a hotel room once and I remember thinking "yeah, this looks very film noir..." as I lost consciousness.

There's hundreds of examples in red dwarf - often with kryten offering a vague explanation and the rest of the crew just not caring or understanding because it's not that kind of programme. the inquisitors glove is a good one, but also how the holograms work.

Happy bi visibility day! I was always friends with girls growing up and whilst I had some truly love filled support form them, they also gave AWFUL advice for a teenage boy trying to navigate the world. For example "just come out and if anyone says anything, pull a knife on them" is insane advice.

Happy bi visibility day! For years I would avoid certain songs i liked because I was afraid people would figure me out if i seemed to like the wrong things. they weren't even all overtly queer songs, I just grew up in the 00's and being both alt and bi would have got my shit kicked in twice as much.

just a bruise on a part of my arm that was entirely uninvolved in the fall.

got my foot caught and ate shit on my driveway - face, wrist and knee straight into the concrete. nothing hurts right now, But it remains to be seen if the god of 30somethings will decide to bless or punish me. Only a good nights sleep will tell.

just finished reading the entirety of reddit - 4/10 - what should I do now?

a little wood elf champion, sculpted with 20mm in mind but should work well at oldschool 28.

A man after my own heart. As far as the very warhammer obsessed bloke at work knows I have no clue what warhammer is.

If you're wondering why, the answer is "fuck em".

my new petty hobby is responding "Who's that?" every time someone brings up a youtuber to me in a comment section. Even if i know who they are. big or small, good or bad, as far as the wider web goes I have heard of none of them.
