Most autistic thing you've purchased lately - c'mon feel the cringe

Mint's abundant; I was hoping for non-mint, but the box art for Euthymol toothpaste looks cute as heck.

I did go down a web spiral and order some MARVIS toothpaste, which hasn't arrived yet. If it ends up too weird to use I'm gonna blame @Accept Only Substitutes for starting me down this path.

I remember there being banana toothpaste decades ago.

Last purchase, more Vienna goods. This time polish sawwwsage and jumbo dogs. I'm not even Italian. I'm not that dark.

i hate Apple but i am considering buying a basic ipad just for Procreate, The most autistic part is the fucking pencil that costs 100$

There are a ton of off brand styluses, but I don't know if they have the same features that the pencil does or not. You could always buy one of them to see if you like the iPad for drawing - just read the reviews first to make sure you don't get a shit one.

My iPad is too old for the pencil so I got a cheap stylus and it's fine. I don't use procreate much because I have the art skills of a kindergartener and I keep forgetting to practice, but it's pretty slick.

My advice would be to buy a used iPad a generation or two old if you only want to draw on it. You aren't buying it for its features, so one that's a couple years old should work just fine for you. It'll be cheaper, but I don't know by how much. Apple products keep their value surprisingly well, but I'd say you'd likely save a couple hundred bucks at least. That would pay for the pencil!

Thats what i was thinking, the last gen models are a lot more affordable and would be perfectly fine for what i want, i really only want to do live my live drawing. My own desktop is 8 yrs old and i still work fine on it and have no desire yet to upgrade.

I have seen the off brand pens too and they are really cheap but reading reviews i am not super convinced, Its tempting but might just bite the bullet rather than regret it and have to do it later,

What does procreate do that nothing elee does?

That its portable and cheap. There's probably other free options for ipad but i haven't looked much into it, Procreate just seems to be the most well regarded so far.

The knockoff pens are ass. They are just styluses.

The pencil is dope, but it’s also weird. Like it can’t be used as a stylus if it’s not charged, but it’s insanely accurate down to the pixel and the pressure sensitivity is amazing.

I use one with my iPad Pro I bought for D&D and it’s as good as can be. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for.

30 tales to give you goosebumps, a collection of the first 3 tales to give you goosebumps

Maybe I'm just waxing nostalgia for this series as I tend to do every and then., but it also feels like goosebumps is the one remaining relic from my childhood that hasn't been tainted by wokeness so I just had to snag it. Yes I am aware of the lesbian couple in the comics series but that doesn't count.

MARVIS jasmine mint toothpaste. I got the fluoride kind (they have un-).

It's so strange but so tasty.

My mother tried some and says it was like brushing her teeth with soap, though. Jasmine oolong is one of my favorite teas, so maybe it's a context thing. They have travel-size tubes in case you want to gamble.

Got a hoodie in Desert Night camo. Absolutely useless pattern as far as actual camouflage is concerned, but looks appropriate for our current grim dystopian cyberpunk reality.

It looks cool, I live in an area with more green space and I must confess that EMR Digital Flora has grown on me.

I still do an occasional purchase of RU/UA gear and clothing myself, but most Eastern European stuff is too small for me. Ironically the Chinese copies of EMR stuff come in much larger sizes so I sometimes go for that.

I ordered some more Boer flags. A replacement Vierkleur and an Orange Free State flag. I think I will hang one or both in my office in place of window blinds. I should have checked the OFS flag more closely before ordering. It looks like the manufacturer omitted the bottom white stripe on the flag, which is a fairly common mistake. Since it's such a glaring mistake, I might run the flag on an outdoors mount and let the elements slowly destroy it over the course of months.
