Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh, oh, speaking of space invaders, have we all seen this:

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just ordered an assload of sushi for lunch. I hate sushi.

Bleh. I have a Lean Cuisine, at least.

I have more interviews tomorrow. Then, hopefully, no one will ever want to speak with me again. I'm running out of ways to say that we're all perfectly normal.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Send me the sushi! I don't need the salmon ones, just the tuna & scalops.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, oh, speaking of space invaders, have we all seen this:

That is too cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can you see the young lady/old lady optical illusion in this photograph? I don't...and I wonder if it would be easier in a flipped image. I also wonder how much of it was done in post.

Now tagless for your comfort.

paperdol, keep repeating it until they believe it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Shoes generally stretch side-to-side but not in length

Side-to-side is what I need. I committed and wore them out to lunch, and they're perfectly wearable right now, so if they don't stretch, I'll still be okay. They're also nice and padded, plus I get at least an inch in height from wearing them.

As part of the whole Video Games Live concert I got to sing in, they had a Space Invaders segment. They'd bring an unsuspecting schmuck up from the audience, ask if he/she knew Space Invaders, etc. And then they'd give them a t-shirt to put on, which had the little ship on the back, and that allowed the tech guys to track the person's movements. They got a fire button, and they had to run around the stage, trying to shoot. It was really entertaining to watch, even though those of us on the stage couldn't see the screen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can you see the young lady/old lady optical illusion in this photograph? I don't...and I wonder if it would be easier in a flipped image.

Nope -- I think because in a real person, it's super-obvious that an ear is not an eye, frex.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

ita, I can see it, but, very oddly, only if I close my left eye. With both eyes, or with the left but not the right, it's just the young woman.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Can you see the young lady/old lady optical illusion in this photograph?

Yes, but it took a minute. The young lady's chin is the old lady's nose.

eta: I first saw it when I tilted my head to the side.
