Anyone here familiar with vegan Camembert alternatives? Do they melt like the regular one does when you heat/fry them? :D (I have a violent craving for Camembert with lingonberries, but the lactose intolerance is threatening me with bodily harm if I eat regular soft cheese.)

The face of a dog who has been starved* and forced** to watch us eat cookies for hours*** and still hasn’t gotten a single dang cookie. * breakfast, a big chew treat, several small treats, a big dog cookie ** we told her to leave *** 10 minutes max #dogsofmastodon #leonberger

I’ve had supplements and various cold medicines for breakfast and I think that was very diligent and good of me. (I could’ve eaten nothing at all!!)

Saw this take on tumblr and my first impulse was to agree (as the one who got shittelidy done in 36 years aside from, y‘know, still being alive). But I don’t, actually. I love seeing my friends succeed, and be awesome, and have it all together (at least seemingly). Y‘all were good beans back then and are still good beans now and I’m proud of y’all. <3

Other Leonberger owners keep telling me - in hopes of commiseration - how stubborn the breed is… and every time I say „Compared to our last dog, she is very cooperative.“ Cue the disbelieving glances. Triss is an independent thinker, yes. She decides if something is worth it or not, but most times she can be bribed and/or reasoned with. Nova had no such qualms. If she didn’t want to, she didn’t want to. End of discussion. No bribes, not sweet talking. Negotiating with her was work! :D

A) I love the way Riot builds hype and heroism around their esports players, they’re doing an excellent job of making legends out of their players and telling stories of perseverance, grit, failure and success through them B) every time I get hyped over a LoL esports video I get a little wistful, because I think that Overwatch could’ve been that and more (for me personally, as I’m more invested in OW as a game compared to LoL, which I play mostly begrudgingly)

I hate that as I got older, my common cold experience got upgraded to „random dizzy spells, even while sitting down and doing nothing“ and „joint pain for days“. 😶

YouTube recs presents me a video. “Blatant favoritism - why everyone is mad about Patch 7” (Baldur’s Gate 3 related.) Meanwhile I haven’t seen a single person who is mad about patch 7. Not a single one. Rage baiters be raging.

German and Dutch are close enough that as a German I always feel like I should be able to understand it if I listened just a little more carefully, but tumblr presented me with this gem today and Maybe not 😁

Kriege leicht nervige Reply von jemandem mit Reply Guy vibes. Gucke in sein Profil. Größtenteils “Ja aber”, sarkastisches/“lustiges” Abwerten, oder “Bei mir ist das aber so und so”. Weiß nicht Digger. Is halt einfach unangenehm.
