after the goose comes a swan, which though bigger, tougher, and stronger, has chilled the hell out a bit
after a swan then comes the Canadian goose, which even though it appears to be a return to goose, it’s actually the might of a swan, and the rage of a 100 regular geese
i want to be a cat so i can experience the content feeling of sitting on a warm, perfectly cat shaped roof
honestly, this is not a terrible idea
if you see someone at the verge of a panic attack that means they’re fully in their head spiraling - you can try to calm them down the normal way, but you can also try to force them out of their own head and ground them by saying something weird, ideally a question so their mind can latch onto it. It won’t always work, but it might shock them just the right amount to ground them!
don’t remove all the poop, and don’t clean off all the pee
rodents mark their territory with their smell, i’ve seen my rats sleep like cozy babies on a pissy blanket so many times. If you remove all their smell, that just makes them work harder to poo and pee on everything to get the smell of home back
this is not about wanting this is about companies taking advantage of vulnerable people who should be grieving. This can cause lasting psychological harm
you might as well be saying, if someone came to a drug maker, and wanted some heroine, and provided ingredients for heroine, and agreed to whatever costs were involved, isn’t that entirely their business?
and yet, the “genius inventors” keep creating Torment Nexuses
wow, so many reasons
now imagine having to pay to talk with a ghost of your loved one, a chatbot that sometimes allows you to forget that the actual person is gone, and makes all the moments where that illusion is broken all the more painful. A chatbot that denies you grief, and traps you in hell where you can talk with the person you lost, but never touch them, never feel them, never see them grow (or you could pay extra for the chatbot to attend new skill classes you could talk about :)).
It would make grieving impossible and take constant advantage of those who “just want to say goodbye”. Grief is already hard as is, a wide spread mimicry of our dead ones would make it a psychological torture
for more information watch a prediction of our future a fun sci-fi show called Black Mirror, specifically the episode titled Be Right Back (entire series is fully episodic you don’t need to watch from the start)
“was outed as”
i’m not defending Mr. Beast here but from what i’ve read the friend of his, Ava?, was only accused of that, without any actual evidence, and even the person she allegedly groomed came out in her defence. Seeing as she’s a trans woman and the right wingers are trying very hard to paint every trans person as a pedo i’m skeptical if those accusations hold much water
it feels like every other celebrity is getting accused of grooming, which is either a plague, or the definition of “grooming” has drifted to include “an adult that has conversations with teenagers”
yeah that part of the graph is completely useless to people who haven’t memorised the exact degrees of the scale, which is most people, even most artists
do not right click inspect element on the paywall window and then delete the code & re-enable scrolling (i always forget how to, but don’t google it)
the downside is that sometimes half the article is neutered anyway
goodness how i despise power tripping moderators.
i’ve been a mod in one pretty large and active online community and somehow power has never gotten into my head, but i’ve seen so many completely trip out over the smallest non-issues, fucking bizarre
yea just boil that and it’s very tasty and easy to eat
broccoli stems are yummy though
a lot use it for art or porn, or both. i heard Japanese people use twitter as one of their main social media platforms as well
they absolutely are. Where else can a teen growing up in a religious family and forced to attend church/mosque/temples vent their frustration, and they are definitely going to be edgy about it, that’s what being teen is about after all
nowhere did i say that calling an asshole an asshole is bad. What i did say that acting like an asshole towards the asshole is bad, as it lowers you to the same level as them, and additionally reinforces the asshole’s behaviour & continues the cycle of assholery
not knowing someone’s pronouns & assuming wrong =/= misgendering
knowing someone’s pronouns and intentionally using the wrong ones = misgendering
can be applied to any shitty behaviour tbh. Too many people think that once someone is shitty to them, they have free reign to also be shitty as a payback. They think they gave the asshole a piece of their own medicine, but actually they started rolling in the mud with them
counterpoint, America is big, has atrocious public transport, and though furries that can afford suits can probably also afford flights, there’s plenty who cannot afford either, or just pick one
could be good old photoshop. First results doing a reverse image search show 2022, which was well before the AI boom
