Yeah, Parkside is Lidl's in-store "Building goods" brand, it's very recognizable by their green-red color scheme. I can imagine people at least ironically like it enough to get branded stuff.
"Fan edition" just means that it has the Parkside Logo across the side. Which for a folding rule is pretty mild. I'm way more concerned about the guy who's next to the rule in the current store magazine, he's sporting the full Parkside Shirt/Shorts combo:
Context! This is in reference to the sandwich making mechanic on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The sandwiches you make there give certain buffs based on the ingredients, so sometimes it is viable to just stack 25 Tofu on the bread and call it a day lol
Man the actors' association really has to negotiate some better work conditions when it comes to dealing with cursed artifacts. Willem Dafoe still hasn't recovered from the Green Goblin mask.
Oh right I forgot to clarify! It's about Amazons Wheel of Time show, where they sneakily replaced the actor for Mat Cauthon between seasons with a really similar looking guy
I always had to hide the fact that I like to draw at home.
First because I was doing kinda cringy anime drawings and didn't want the ridicule, but at some point I actually got pretty good in a "classical art" sense. I couldn't let my family find out even more after that, because my mother had already claimed drawing as "her thing". She would have been absolutely awful to me due to jealousy (because that's exactly what happens every time).
She wasn't even good at it, she just traced designs from the Internet because she has never been willing to take the critique & feedback that is necessary to actually become good at art. Her stuff literally looked like AI art nowadays, completely soulless and disinterested. She was always just after the praise of having drawn something, no matter the integrity of her work.
At least it was easy to hide my interest. I'm still baffled how people can be such control freaks but also care so little? Like they found my graphic tablet in the back of my closet at some point, but totally accepted the excuse of "oh that's just a thing to digitally sign pdfs"
huh?
