#TMITuesday! Time to answer all your queries!
washington state politics, REAL FUCKING IMPORTANT
@irisjaycomics per the email I got from my rep over the weekend, 2154 is dead for this session since it didn’t get called in committee. It will have to get re-submitted for consideration next session.
Thoughts on yeeting milkshakes.
@kotep that’s something I hadn’t thought about. But it probably means I should archive my plans for a compressed air milkshake sniper cannon. For now, anyway.
@Leucrotta it’s a very exacting list of requirements, but it’s one I’ve developed over the years from feeling disappointed. But I’d rather not stress an artist out since everything I absorb from artists is how hard of a time they have with difficult commissioners. I don’t want to be such a problem that I get rejected or blacklisted.
Thanks for thinking I can draw well enough to communicate, though. I wish you were right.
@Leucrotta Here’s my problem: I need to find artists who are:
1: Willing to draw the desired content
2: Open and available to be commissioned
3: Within my current available budget
4: Patient enough to accept working from text descriptions, old, outdated, and/or stolen reference material
5: Patient enough to revise over and over until a piece is close enough to what I wanted
6: Reliable enough to deliver without flaking.
7: Okay with providing updates regularly enough so I don’t feel cheated.
Thoughts on yeeting milkshakes.
Y'all remember when throwing rotten vegetables (tomatoes) was a thing the public did at politicians that displeased them? (this was shows wonderfully in Tim Burton's Batman Returns (1992))
I'm really glad we're trying to bring that sort of thing back. It is an immediate and visceral way of expressing displeasure and disapproval that costs little to the thrower, (don't yeet your expensive milkshakes, kids. The jerks in suits aren't worth the good stuff) and costs much more proportionally to the targets (they will pay for their dry cleaning at much more expensive cleaners, thus, sending business to workers that could use the income.) Also, don't throw the metal cup. Just the compostable paper cup, with no straw. Including the lid is okay, but only as means of preventing premature detonation. The lid should keep the round fused for impact, thereby minimizing collateral damage to innocent crowds.
A simple act with multiple benefits. Very efficient. Now all we need is an gig-economy app. Call it MlkShakr or something. It will harvest rally times and locations from social media and then find nearby produce and milkshake vendors from which to arm the populace with.
@starkatt Machining porn is so very satisfying. Glad you're enjoying it!
@Leucrotta @ElectricKeet @LexYeen@snouts.online That certainly is an aspect that I hadn't considered fully. I was against it just on the principle that the chance of abuse gets higher the more government lists you appear on.
I feel like powers should be treated as privileged medical information, unable to be disclosed except by informed consent to persons who are held liable for breaking confidentiality.
