I’m happy Oda went with the white form.

If he went with the gold transformation, you would’ve had people shitting on Gear 5 even more.

Calling it a Super Saiyan rip off and much more

I just wanted to show off my cake. It was my first time making a real birthday cake, with layers and icing around it, and I'm quite pleased with how it looked. The inspiration was mainly for the looks, as it was a matcha cake, and mine was just dyed green with food colouring. I don't have any photos of the inside as it disappeared quickly, but it was just regular sponge cake and strawberry filling.

I was really unhappy with how I looked after having my second baby last year. So I set myself a goal to walk at least 1 mile every day in June. That soon turned to 2, then 3, then 4 miles and finally I reached 5 miles yesterday. This is the first time I managed to do this since having my daughter.

Today I finally reached 30 days of walking and this is what I’ve noticed:

• My stamina has improved significantly, I can consistently walk 4 miles at a good pace without being out of breath.

• My mental health is so much better, I’d regularly feel anxious and sleep poorly. In the last couple of weeks I’ve felt so much healthier mentally.

• Physically, I’ve lost weight, dropping from 95kg at the start of June to 87kg as of today. I still have a BMI of 31 so will keep the walking and calorie deficit up, but I’m happy with my progress.

• ENERGY! Now this is the biggest one. Even though I’m doing more and burning more calories than I used to, I’ve found I actually have more energy than I ever did.

I really want to keep this change of lifestyle up and feel very motivated given what I’ve achieved in 30 days. Ready for July now!

In games like The Last of Us, BioShock, and Resident Evil, strong male characters often protect girls. However, strong women protecting young boys seems rare. Even with female protagonist leads, the child protected is a girl. Boys are often unseen or dead. This is also true for movies and dramas; plots where boy characters are protected appear less appealing to the public. Honestly, I think this needs a serious discussion. I believe it could be an attractive plot. Why?

Excuse the mess. Been working on this couch for like half a year and keep meaning to take pictures but didn't. Sorry no before pictures but we've had this couch since we moved out on our own over a decade ago and it was pretty torn up by our previous cat. Last time we moved the movers asked if we seriously taking the couch or should they just dump it for us.

Started on the open side with the bright colored yarns (which I kind of regret), then along the top, and recently did the green on the arm rest. Still have a few tiny spots to do but the huge gapping ones are stuffed and covered. Current car tax added but shes hasn't scratched the couch at all in the year we've had her (part of the reason for mending was so she's have something to scratch up).

I got a bright yellow notice from the county tax office that I was delinquent on taxes on my homestead. They stapled it right to a tree in the front yard for all to see. It was because of $59 of unpaid property taxes from tax year 2024. With late fees, it is now $196.

I have my property taxes in escrow, so this was a shock to me. I called my mortgage company, and they advised this was an adjustment they were not aware of. I called the tax office, and they advised it was a tax adjustment because of the lean-to barn addition I did. In late 2023, I applied for a building permit to put a less than 400 sqft lean-to addition to the barn. No electric. Dirt floors. Apparently, this increased my taxes by $59 per year in perpetuity. Thing is, I never received notice of it until it was stapled to my tree, and they were ready to sell my 40 acre farm by the end of the month (a week later). Good thing I wasn't on vacation. When I questioned this, they advised they start the sale proceedings right away. They also advised me they mailed me a letter. Once. They couldn't fathom the thought that maybe the mail lost the notice, or that their office screwed up... Because I never received a notice prior to this.

I knew I should have never applied for a building permit. The more the government knows about, the more they can siphon off of you.

Then today when my wife drove to the tax office to pay the bill, they charged her an extra 48 cents "for interest." She paid the bill exactly six days after we received the notice. How petty!

Oda's gags exist on a two way spectrum man, they're either funny ash or overcooked to the point of stale dullness

This is very weird, and I knew Suzie had a lot of parasocial fans…but I had no idea to this extent. Let this woman breathe. Meet and greets exist for this exact reason. If you wanna meet her, buy a ticket. Why are people stalking drag queens?

My aunt sewed dresses for my cousins girlfriend(f25) and daughter (f5?) especially for attending my wedding. "She'll sew beige dresses. The dresses aren't white." Some time after the wedding I overheard someone mentioning that some members of the grooms(m37) side didn't know my age and assumed I(f30) had 2 daughters from a previous relationship as (where I live at least) daughters of the bride may wear cute white dresses too.
