This is a weird ask, but is there a 2000s version of Freaks and Geeks? No, not "here's a list of Judd Apatow creations." I mean, literally, as if the exact setting and premise was transposed into the early (or mid] 2000s. While I'm asking for that unicorn, with "Lindsey" character as a guy?

111

Idk, not necessarily commodities/buying stuff. Think of how much is based around fanfic/art. Not a cent involved.

000

Oooh those are great examples. Lol i immediately went into contrarian mode of "what is a fandom"? "What is a fan?" And oh that was big stupid

We all consume media in SOME form, you know?

100

I mean, that's literally everyone. Don't lie and say you don't. It's literally impossible not to. You'd have to write all your own stories

200

I'm sorry, but no. I have to disagree hard here. Even "working through my shit" (god i fucking hate how that's been used against me to say "you're to much, fuck off"), having a creative outlet is fucking crucial.

000

Well that's just being depressed

And no judgment if you wanna go full fictosexual. As long as you're not tossing away existing IRL relationships, go for it

Also also, where is the line drawn at Fandom Brain? Are we talking full on "married to character of choice on the astral plane" territory, or literally anyone and everyone who happens to be a fan?

Wait, like HP specifically or ALL fandoms?

Omg the most well behaved birb ever (and I'm counting myself as birb here)

I'm sorry but all the "Animorphs exists" suggestions completely miss the point. It's not just about "this author isn't a bigot." It's "what if IRL but magic, but without bigot"

020

Also if you MUST do the "read another book" thing... There are books and media generally that hit in the same way. Worst Witch, Sabrina the Teenage Witch (there WERE books tbf). Also, for straight up TV alone, there's Charmed.

Nooo nothing to be sorry for 🥹💜

My sister gave me a Bluesky invite in July 2023. I stayed forever.

I mean. A lot of this is also just personal preference. I like toppings. To me, toppings are better than no toppings.

000

Vanilla makes sense as a default though. I mean, it's obviously not FLAVORLESS. But it's like, THE base flavor for sundaes and ice cream with stuff in it.

120

I used to be all "ew vomitrocious" about grapefruit juice...then discovered Polar grapefruit dry. It's like orangina, but grapefruit.

Nothing's dad rock if you're hot and childfree.

052

Aww I'm sure the lil guys missed you and are very happy you're back 🥹💜

Richard Dawkins, Bill Maher et al. are certainly not helping the "professional atheist" career trajectory

Only space, religion bad, and other reddit atheist edgelord fare.

You'd think a man with the ultimate r/iamverysmart energy would be able to understand metaphor and figurative language, but nah

220

It's okay, I went to NYC just for the Quaker parrot tour. I'm not exaggerating. I'm that much of a birb brain

000

Zim himself deserves all the merch Gir has. I'll shut up now (lol no i won't)

While I'm on my bullshit here, fuck it. Gir was the least funny part of Invader Zim. There i said it.

The bar is literally in hell.

I did a thing! I'm adulting! Jesus fucking christ, I hated that lol so random type shit 20 years ago when it was everywhere in my face, and I was literally the target audience.

121

Oh the humor is the fucking WORST and makes me embarrassed to be a millennial (lol not really, but you get it) Go fuck off to the 90s and have the Jim Carrey quoting circle jerk we all know you want

Literally like why not fuck off to Facebook sexually harass the mlm girlies or whatever

So true. And yet the mediocrest of mediocre white guys* get all the follows and shit. Still. On here of all places *yes, I say this as a white guy, but come on. We know the Archetype of Guy I'm talking about

No shows in Boston! Well I'll just fly into Philly for my birthday, treat myself to a nice hotel, etc

I can't tell if I'm being dumb fanboy or just losing it mentally. My best friend had to talk me down from spending over a grand to see the Used...multiple states away

Dom G 🦜💖 @domg.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

Wait, was it not meant to be sung like that?

100

The other, ADDITIONAL, even more fucked up thing is Jane is completely "allowed" to be artistic. She's just cool and edgy. Like, what the fuck.

011

Dom G 🦜💖 @domg.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

No seriously, the amount of r/thanksimcured type messaging, upon re-watching, is really fucked up.

000

Dom G 🦜💖 @domg.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

A more elaborate nuanced take: Tom: I'm a rich kid who was handed everything, and I have no personality to speak of aside from "Daria's boyfriend" Trent: my obvious depression is constantly dismissed as being a lazy bum. Also who tf needs music?

221

I swear I've posted about why there's no "cold" equivalent to spice or heat. This is a very silly extreme take, but I mean we do have those awful mint oreos

If this were serious, you could make an actual point for there being ONE line expressing bottom dysphoria. Pretty obvious which one I'm talking about

000

And fuck anyone who rubs in your face "xyz is so chill, you'll love them," thanks I'm such a hot mess I won't

000

Why is being chill something to be celebrated? Really, you want to be around someone who will never get you and that you feel EVERYTHING all the time? I'm sorry, but no, hard pass on this default calm (neurotypical, but not in the way most people talk about) shit

Dom G 🦜💖 @domg.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

But which KIND? That's like saying you eat food lol
