Bullying, school shootings, Columbine, pre coffee rambling
you ever sit down and think about how schools overcorrected on the bullying thing so hard without actually teaching kids not to be assholes or how to be accountable and instead just implement across the board zero tolerance policies that equally punishes everyone involved regardless of which side of the conflict they were on so instead what's coming out is a generation of people who don't understand the difference between bullying and a community self policing dangerous people out of the crowd (notably the Columbine shooters who the adults tried really hard to present as innocent loser babies when actually in the past decade we've been finding out they were actually the bullies and people were terrified of them), and also helped to foster the sense of violent entitlement of bullies and ultimately school shooters

#drawings today, a paladin on a hippogryph challenges a devil, and two monsters, a tanuki and a doppelgänger (I really want a playable tanuki in games!).
@g1comics I'd name it "Hamburgefonstiv".
@g1comics I keep seeing that Lua's Unicode support is kinda terrible, but the pandoc documentation also seems to consider the Python and Haskell filters to be the worse options for many other reasons, so... *shrug* I think they've undervalued UTF-8 support. :)
@g1comics I've been reeeally close to trying to learn Lua... not for anything emulation-related like I thought I would, but for design work that Pandoc would be perfect to help with.

#drawings today so far. Was reminded that Zatoichi movies existed so some overtly violent Edo period iajitsu. And, three shape changers from Werewolf the Apocalypse (were coyote, were lynx and were cougar).
HRT, transfeminine grumble
@Elizafox True... and do keep in mind that this wasn't necessarily our mentality. Many of us got screwed over by doctors (endocrinolists, even!) who had no clue. Still, better'n nothin'!

#drawings today, rogue and fighter tackle an ettin (I tend to default to older style tachi and yoroi) and drow assassins stalking their quarry.
@Austin_Dern Ah, yes, those special moments when the vacuum cleaner stars making loud clicking sounds and generates the smell of hot rubber so you gotta unplug it and get scissors to cut out all the long fur and discarded twist-ties that have accreted on the brush roller—
Oh... Right, the other struggle. Yeah, I can see that too.
@Doephin Just gotta hope Windows Defender doesn't quarantine that soul 'cause it looks suspicious. Happened to be thinking of late 90's warez sites when the beam hit, that's all!
Ever felt the need to download part of a github repo from an arbitrary point, and been frustrated that the site only offers download options when it feels like it?
Enter the github URL here, and it'll package up the tree at that point:
