You really can’t be both at the same time.

After this election I’ve had to cut a bunch of people out of my life, even relatives. A lot of them saying such wonderful things as “trump’s just saying things, he doesn’t actually mean anything he’s saying.” And then they’d get defensive when I’d ask them why they votes for him then if he doesn’t mean anything he says.

It’s really hard to cut people out of your life but afterwards it’s amazing realizing that you don’t need to tip toe around things that may be vaguely political (or explicitly) anymore to not start an argument.

Back in my day we knit those bits into place. That’s where the really cool projects are.

NGL dying due to climate is definitely preferable to dying due to fascist hunting people like me

With the fascist in power they’re going to speed up the climate destruction

So maybe the fascist will kill us with the climate

yay?

Having your own data can be incredibly useful and valuable, the trick is protecting that data so that nefarious actors can’t use it.

Don’t worry, it will be arguing with itself and other AI online long after society collapses.

At least until the grid collapses, then the internet will finally go quiet.

The last human post will likely be something like “Are their any people still online, or is it just AI now?” Downvoted to hell with a shitshow of AI arguing in the comments.

The horrors persist, but so do we.

We can get through this if we fight like hell and work together.

I won’t go quietly into that good night, I’ll be kicking, screaming, clawing, and biting. And if I’m not alone then we have a chance to make sure that what comes to pass is a new dawn.

Edit: Also here’s a link to the artist’s etsy page for this sticker. NGL I wish they had an enamel pin for this one.

This exactly

Especially considering trump’s opinion on them and Israel’s stance on the election (wanting a trump victory) those should have been major red flags about a trump victory if you cared about Palestinians.

Voting the lesser evil is often how politics works. You pick the candidate you yu hate the least and try to mobilize more people in the future to get the policies you want.

Trump has been strong on his opinions on both Ukraine and Palestine, and his opinions were fucking terrible.

Those that didn’t vote against that are a problem.

Given the origins of Luce, that would probably be one of their favorite fantasies.

I thought it was a fun image to share due to the characters mocking them.

Having your bare feet in the grass feels so goddamn good and I’m tired of pretending that it doesn’t feel great

It’s not the size that counts, it’s how you use it.

Sometimes you can have hernias that you don’t notice (and don’t pose an immidiate health risk) until they get irritated or damaged. This can happen when a hernia is small(ish) and only contains fat from inside your abdomin.

These hernias can exist from when you were born as well. So you may never have had the tissue there to hold everything inside inside.

You can get these hernias fixed (and you should) but in a lot of cases (unless they get trapped intestine in them) they are considered “elective surgeries”. What this means is that unless they are actively hindering your life then your health insurance is likely to be a bastard about paying for it.

I unfortunately learned all of this from finding a small hernia because it got really painful after I got pneumonia a few years ago. We found 4 hernias but only 1 was causing pain so my insurance only covered the surgery for 1. So I’ve got 3 more that are just ticking time bombs.

10 years and counting

There’s so much bullshit in new cars that’s it’s infuriating, especially considering the cars call home with all kinds of privacy violating bullshit.

My Mini Factory is primarily where I get mine (if you want a list of users I primarily buy mine)

Cults3D is another place but they’re a lot more hit and miss on quality IMO

The best models are purchased models (in general) though MZ4250 on Printables models are free and also pretty high quality.

Personally I won’t pirate models of people in the 3D printing mini community as I want to support the creators in that space as they’re not giant megacorps.

Just 2 bros comparing shot composition, ain’t nothing weird about that.

If you get the lighting just right it’s called Rembrandt Lighting and it’ll really make it look nice

Here’s a link to that speedy bois wikipage for those curious.

Luce the Pilgrim?

As far as I can tell yes

One of my friends sent this to me this morning and it was too funny not to share

One thing I would recommend though is if you have some hobbies try to find beginner friendly communities for those hobbies as they are usually super positive and helpful, and they’ll give you the chance to be that as well.

Personally I found helping people dive into the stuff I’m interested in was a massive boost to my mental health.

There’s just something wonderful about it that I really can’t explain.
