VR selfies, squeak, macro
VR lets me engage in fantasies such has living an independent life as a pooltoy dragon, and also get too big for indoors.

When Emily had first been turned into a dragon, she had found her lumbering size, and lack of thumbs distressing. But now, looking down at Celeste, warm, and dry, snuggled against them... maybe it's not that bad.

When wearing the Ancestral Hat, you don't REALLY have to wear the robes to match. Take this fluffy dragon for instance, they only put on the hat cause the lining's fancy and it feels nice against their ears.
New OSRS art for the fluffiest of dragons, Helwyr Cywyr who flies over on Twitter! Thanks again!

Number one piece of advice I can give anyone getting into 3D is to trust the process. I've been doing it for about 3 years now and omg everything looks awful until about halfway or three quarters of the way through. Like, an absolute mess.
Just trust it'll turn out in the end.

the part of me that knows that the white dragon in Mahjong is labeled with a "B" in many sets because in its original form it was literally a blank tile that came as a spare and got called "bai-ban", "white board", is constantly at war with, and losing to, the part that is very adamant that "the B is for bepis"

2747. Presents for Biologists
title text: A lot of these are actually non-venomous, but I can see which species you mistook them for. If you pause the crane for a sec I can give you some ID pointers for next time!

birdsite, muskrat, relation to bullying
The thing is with him, no dunk, no hot take, no appeal to reason is ever going to work. Not for as long as he's using the misery of others to fuel his own narcissistic supply.
Separate that fucker from power, though, and the results will be immediate. Can see this in microcosm once he realized firing a disabled worker would cost $100 mill.
At the small, that's meant drawing down my accounts on birdsite. At the large: tax the rich.
birdsite, muskrat, relation to bullying
The thing is, I never faulted Eli for existing that way. The kid was hurting, his friends clearly put him up to it, and he was bullying to fill a hole in his life where care should have been. I hope he found a way out of it and ended up okay.
I've since had other bullies, and the story is usually the same: they hurt people because they're hurting badly themselves. And the only corrective they respond to is the power to fight back.
So too with Elon.
birdsite, muskrat, relation to bullying
In which Popehat points out Elon is really just a very rich high school bully: https://post.news/@/popehat/2Mhvz30rv7RfDGhgCRKNsThYLb5
So fun story. I was bullied all the way through middle and early high school by a kid named Eli. One day, he finally got the courage to jump me after school, and I fought back. Hard.
The bullying immediately ceased. Permanently. Saw him again one time: the day he transferred out of my math class.
I think about that a lot.
old flash videos, way too prescient fictional alternate history
The fictional timeline they projected forward from 2004 didn't really come to pass.
But the technologies: AWS, algorithmic social media timelines, and AI learning models, did. And it's still weird to hear all of that predicted one or two decades early.
