God literally same (the bolded) with me when I start once again thinking "I should seriously get into collecting antique dollhouse furniture/antique puppets" or whatever. But of course there's not really an existing image/archetype for an Antique Dollhouse Furniture/Antique Puppet Collector Lady, so..

Survivalist types have a similar energy as Sword Guys tbh. Sort of, vaguely. Guns are scary. (Rifles are neat tbh but still scary) Loud noise scary :c I'm a small nervous dog with anxiety.

Also swords are NOT just nerdy. Mall swords are pretty goofy. (I agree that actually being a serious Sword Guy would be quite intense or at least require a lot of mental energy, based on some of the youtube videos I've seen anyway.) We have a small mall-quality "house sword" over here. We bought it from the local porn store that inexplicably also sells mall swords, machetes (I love machetes), literal junk (like there's a tiny junk section), and miscellaneous old VHS tapes and dvds.


Axes are neat. Apparently axe-throwing places are now a thing.. One of them popped up here in recent years. Of course this was well after I declared that I wanted to get into axe throwing. (I had a knife throwing phase but I kept losing ALL the knives in the ground and was so very bad at it) So of course after I learned about it being a thing over here I was like "Well now I am not going to do it"
edit: I'm sure Austin has lots of axe throwing places. Likely some sort of axe throwing roller derby hybrid type place. Which honestly tbh is the only sort of roller derby I'd even consider.

Nothing is more nerv racking then watching a bunch of drunken stupid hooligans play with their guns.

Machetes are cooler than swords. Sworda are nerdy but while machetes imply the same type of person they also imply that you're still a dangerous lunatic.

My dad had a sword collection. I used to be afraid that he'd beat me with one like the time he smacked my brother so hard with a knife that it broke.

In certain parts of the rural south one becomes desensitized to this. Gunshots? Oh, must be 7 pm on a Tuesday evening. (Whereas if you are a child/young teen, your options are: drive four-wheelers recklessly over dirt piles or watch TV inside next to a fan. My best friend growing up broke her legs twice due to four wheeler disasters. One time it flipped AND caught on fire.)

I'd feel safer in that setting than in a suburban house with a bunch of drunk wanna be Scarfaces that obviously don't know how to handle a gun.

Oh well yes, same, for sure. (@Lucem)

My experience with suburban whites is that introducing guns would be like introducing child pornography. It's not done and would be a betrayal of a social contract.

Swords are just fat machetes.

I have 2 machetes in my truck for brush clearing. Chainsaws are where it's at though.

I remember seeing ASIMO about 10 years ago,
and the amount of coding that went into having
him to just be able to run, kick a ball, or do a
simple shuffle dance was considered amazing.

Now, we have newer robots doing this:

This is very rad

lol

Iirc it was "Did you just grab my ass?", and I think there was an option of "Should I?" along with Yes and No.

The think the options were 'yes' /'from where I'm standing that's a physical impossibility'/'sh.. Should I?' (the stutter is important)

It used to say "should mods be allowed to spam the **** out of the forum?" With millions of yes votes and 0 nos.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually heard them playing The Fall at World Market one time. So much for punk cred.

Iggy Pop was on American Idol.

I've heard both at Forever 21 bruh
