I've read your comment and I'd like you to know that I don't approve of it.

Aww, too bad. I actually generally try not to tease about typos, I've made plenty myself, but occasionally I can't resist. Decent chance there's one in this comment and, just for fun, I'm not even going to proofread!

Thanks for being a good sport about it. For any future readers, the unedited post said "moth" instead of "mouth."

Hope that, whatever part of your day it is, it's a good one.

Definitely don't count pores!

Or, apparently, put her near a lamp.

To estimate the size of the act, one should use a banana.

For scale.

You mean Nicholas Angle?

I don't know about "best," as that probably varies per individual, but I always recommend reading at:

and if you want to experiment in private, there are lots of live editors; locally I recommend Obsidian. If you don't want to install anything, there are also in-browser options such as:

https://markdownlivepreview.com/

(I have not used this and so cannot comment on its quality, but at a glance it looks good)

If so, they should probably avoid llama farms.

Or maybe even 2 minutes.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying!

You might enjoy HarmonQuest! Bonus fun fact: the DM was originally just an audience member when Dan Harmon came up with the idea and asked for a DM, but is now a regular cast member.

 
 
 

Pretty much the title. It's really weird to scratch my chin and not run my fingers through hair. As a plus, my five year old keeps telling me "you look like a completely different person. But I still know you're my daddy!"

 

Newbie was a rescue from a dog fighting house. According to the shelter from which we got her, they couldn't get her to fight, so they used her for breeding. For her entire life with us, she had scars from where they tied her down for breeding... But despite coming from the most abusive background imaginable, she was the absolute sweetest dog. She was in my life for about a decade and, other than in her sleep, I never once heard her make an aggressive sound.

Unfortunately, she died a few years ago from a failing pancreas. She's the only dog I ever had to choose to let die. I wish she were still here.

edit: She was really stinky, though.

Them: Knock knock!
Me: Who's there?
Them: Boo!
Me: Boo who?
Them: Boo! I'm a ghost!

 

A while ago, Maze hurt her ear. Since then we've been giving her all kinds of medication. Obviously things aren't pristine, but she's doing way better and her wheezing has nearly disappeared!

 
 

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

 

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

 

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.

 

My 5-year-old has set up a selection of large rocks on the railing of my back porch, which my kitchen faces.

In the kitchen, there is a small TV with a red status LED, which due to the window construction reflects twice.

As I naively walked into my kitchen, the only person in my house awake in the early morning, the rocks and lights lined up in an alarming way. I got quite a start.

(I know the picture isn't great quality ... I think the phone camera didn't want to focus on reflections. Also I zoomed in to hide my kitchen clutter.)

edit: Clarifications.
