So you were totally ok with the idea of going to Taco Bell in nothing but short shorts. But walking through Walmart? That's too embarrassing.
I didn't realize that's all I had on until I was in the store (plus, I believe we were only going to go to the drive through at Taco Bell, not inside).
I'm pretty sure there have been weirder things in a Walmart.
I still don't comprehend society's love for Taco Bell. That place no longer impresses me. The Mexican restaurant down the road from my work, on the other hand....
Currently playing: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Switch)
I got a Winston from Overwatch cup at Taco Bell once, DAT is how I played as Winston in Overwatch's beta and free weekend, but during DAt time, many, many, many manymanymanymany legz were broken!
I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!
I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!

Pretty sure I got Tracer on the Taco Bell cup thing one time, which lead to me playing Tracer a ton during the PC beta. I still need to snag Overwatch on PC at some point, as I would prefer to play the game with a keyboard.
I'm at my job, it's very busy and they still no get more carts. Every time I come in in the morning or close at nught, supply is never full like it used to be, as if they want me to break my leg under pressure or something......
.......HELP! PLEASE ASSIST! KETCHUP!

Had some good food, watched a few performances, took a shot at the one of the archery ranges (the targets were all Pokémon, lol), and looked into some of the shops (some of the handmade goods had the Triforce on them, and I saw one place that was selling Ocarinas).
Also liked casually noticing all the people with video game stuff on.
As for Nintendo stuff: 1 Adult in a Triforce hoodie, 4 Adults & 1 Kid in Triforce shirts (one of which was also wearing Link's cap), 1 Adult & 1 Kid wearing a Toon Link shirt, 1 Adult in a Pikachu hoodie, 1 Adult in a Pikachu shirt, 1 Kid in a Pokémon hoodie, 2 Kids with Mario shirts, and 2 Adults with NES controller shirts (Oh, and myself wearing my NES controller ball cap).
Other Gaming: 1 Adult wearing full on Ezio (Assassin's Creed) cosplay, 1 Adult wearing an Assassin's Creed shirt, 1 Adult wearing a Fallout shirt, 1 Adult with a Kingdom Hearts II ball cap, and around 5 kids with Minecraft shirts.
That's what I just casually noticed, so I'm sure there were much more (oh! I got 6 streetpasses, which is a lot for me).
You know, I'm starting to notice how the names and/or avatars people use when they reply to Youtue comments seem to say so much about them, it's almost like you can determine their position on a subject before they even say anything. I've mainly noticed it with Youtube comments, though, so the fact that they feel the need to repond to someone in a video comment section already implies a lot about them (perhaps an overbearing need to be understood, or that there's something they feel so strongly about that they'll defend it at all costs, even if it's something that doesn't need defending).
I'm looking at a reply line in this video that's just the the perfect example of what I'm talking about. The group is discussing a particular scene in an anime where a 14-year-old boy is coerced by an adult woman into having sex in a medical bed. I'll try to keep any NSFW details to a minimum, and spoiler the unavoidable ones:
The one who led off the discussion goes by the handle of FreedFenrir, with the drawing of a wolf as his avatar, who admires the reviewer for taking issue with that scene, which goes against the grain for such a topic.
Do note that Fenrir was a legendary giant wolf in Norse mythology that was restrained by the Gods in a vain attempt to stop a foreboding prophecy. So in addition to the obvious 'alpha' analogies the wolf avatar would imply, one could also assume he has some frustrated feelings of being restrained by forces outside of his control. Societal norms like the dismissive, and even abrasive attitude most guys would have towards the boy's negative reaction to the situation would certainly fit the bill, especially considering Fenrir's prophecy in and of itself was related to the apocalyptic Ragnarok, when the Gods would fall from grace and the world would essentially end (which can be interpretted as an end to the old traditions). Honestly, the complexity of this example befits the complexity of the issue at hand, as I'm sure many a child psychologist would tell you.
(...The rest of the examples will be much shorter, trust me...)
Then a man calling himself Soap keeps hammering on about the rape aspect.
Another one who simply calls themselves a number and represents themselves with a big red "T" (the stock avatar on Youtube) insists on playing Devil's Advocate.
One guy who keeps trying to defend the woman's actions has a manga-style avatar where a child affectionately embraces what appears to be his mother, exposing a possible Oedipus Complex.
The girls who presumedly are using their real names keep calling out how creepy and weird the scene is.
A person with Raven in their username and a children's show character as their avatar (I think it's from MLP, but I'm not sure) has been very inquisitive.
And to top this all off, the one who argues the most heavily against the notion that a boy could be hurt, either mentally or physically, by having sexual relations with an older woman - explaining that as a male, the boy should revel in such treatment, despite him clearly being depicted as traumatized by the event.....goes by the handle "One Man Orgy." And naturally, the one who argues the most firmly, yet calmly against him is presumedly a woman with the avatar of a duck....male ducks are apparently pretty rape-y, in case you didn't know.
Oh, and "satireKnight" and "Thea" kept trying to argue the legal definitions and/or ramifications.
*Note, Thea is based on/short for the Greek Goddess Athena
And I could go on, just looking at that one little sample. I'm gonna have to observe a little more often, to see of there's more to it, though I'm mostly finding it amusing. It makes me wonder what my username and/or avatar, along with the arguments I've had, say about me that I may not have consciously intended.
An avatar can tell a lot about a user, like they can be a big blue creature or a master off all 4 elements. For me, who knows at this point, and as for my username, I'll just say for the 9993448485849444 time that my real name is not Sheldon : P
@TheLZdragon Also, let me into this anime club, my hair is much MOAR golden when I'm eating a sanvich compared to you : P

It says you're in a dead end job, forced to carry around dumb teenagers, while your best friend (who is in the same situation) seems happy and fine, which makes you jaleous.
Or maybe that you like anime. These two things are easily confused.
I'll try to, just by usernames or avatar, judge a book by a cover for those here on this page with THESE logic.
