"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.
I ordered some new baggy pants yesterday to replace my shitty ones that are 8 years old, so I once again found some peculiar knicknacks staring back at me.
These keychains don't look too bad (maybe a little tacky) but the girlfriend ones have guys in them lmao
Since it's 2023, maybe it's intentional.
Then there is this chimkem Mcnugger tetris game from McDonald's. I think it's really cute! It even comes with the little box. This was an old toy that was released ages ago, so I wonder if these are replicas or old stock. It's almost $20 but people are buying these anyway! For the true nugger enjoyer.
My BL card game arrived! So cute! 🥹 The illustrations are wonderful! Includes many talented and well known yaoi artists.
It's a card pairing game. There are QR codes if you're embarrassed to read what is on the card! 😅 There's some really spicy illustrations.
You try to find the highlighted red character on the card you picked up within the other side of cards that would be spread out and face down.
They have a website! You can preview the card illustrations on there.

Currently the cards are in stock at Toranoana, where I bought mine and they ship internationally using a special service called AOCS.
Here's the awful crying banana cat in action. The way the girl smacks the shit out of it kills me
These are supposed to be "gifts" but if someone gave me something this awful, I will just assume they hate me.
Admittedly, I haven't been on AliExpress much ever since finally finding the right color wig my doll needed but here's some weird shit from the last few days because I ordered some clothes.
The full body stocking is just cursed. It looks like something you would find in a crime scene! I would be very scared of the zipper breaking for this junk and being trapped.
Next is a crying banana keychain (with sound) that was fused together with a cat. It sounds as terrible as it looks!
This year, I backed an awesome IPS retro style monitor! It's by Mr. Stephen Jones, who has a small business making retro monitors. The monitor will have various inputs so I can play my retro consoles!
I ordered the black version. The white one has a more nostalgic look! You could have gotten both if you're swimming in monies. I'll get rid of my flat panel TV and replace it with the monitor! Mr. Jones said it's estimated to be finalized around later this year. The small size was exactly what I needed since I don't have a lot of room. It's going to bring back good memories of playing on my small CRT. (Also I don't like big screens in general!)

I'm making it a goal this year into the next to downsize all my belongings to just a few and my video games but I couldn't resist these cute Sanic and Lonk plushies when I went out today. 🥹
If you are Amerifat, they're available at Walgreens! They're very small! Just too precious to resist. Link comes with a little sword and shield, too. I just love the little chubby gloves of the classic Sonic, too.
The jackass of all trades.
