@SummrWrites Paying a friend for art follows the same rules as paying mates for handyman work, imo "Thanks for looking at my car bro, here's a pack of beer/bottle of wine as thanks. Let me know if you ever need a favor :)" <- type attitude It's more of a polite courtesy than it is "payment"

No bestie, you cannot pay me to crochet something for you. First of all, the yarn for that project costs $50. It’s going to take 60 hours to complete. If you’re offering me minimum wage (but I’ve been doing this for years so really?), 60 x $15.15 = $909 + cost of yarn = $959 That blanket is gonna run you almost $1,000. 😅 And that is why you cannot find real crocheted items in stores. And why you should hug your grandmama when she crochets something for you.

Can somebody educated in politics explain to me how Mamdani is able to do all this stuff but no other politician is ever able to make any noticeable progress? How does he evade the same bureaucracy the other politicians always blame for not being able to do shit?

@JacobSeed_2018 @8ydnch yes actually i do think if a man pretends to be paralyzed to get a woman who is actually paralyzed to touch him that is sexual harassment and I would wager that most normal people would agree with that sentiment

@honeytubs @ExistentialEnso 4ft sphere = 948.9L, - avg male = 886.19L Respiratory rate = 6L/m 5% O2 per breath converted to CO2 Oxygen deprivation kicks in around 1 min mark, escalating confusion from then onwards. CO2 levels fatal before 2hrs. You don't get deep enough to worry about structural integrity.

On earth, there is 1 atmosphere of pressure In space, there is 0 atmospheres of pressure On the bottom of the ocean, there are up to 1,100 atmospheres of pressure Building a vessel that can safely protect humans for deep sea diving is *harder*

@honeytubs @ExistentialEnso The PSI at the bottom of the ocean is 15,750. That's 108.6 millions Newtons per square meter A car crash (vehicle = 3300 pounds, speed = 50km/h, stopping distance = 0.8m) has a force of 180,872N That's like perpetually being in 600 car crashes per every square meter of your sub

@CaptainBuckeTTV I played Warframe for about 7 years, 2013-2020, and sometimes I miss it, but then I just think about everything I would have to catch up on and I'm just like, no thank you I had my fun lol. I did go back to play the Duviri Paradox though. Very good.

@Cynthric_Gaming @shamansnail @Sinnoware If you approach the game as a "puzzle" instead? Going at it thoughtfully and carefully, while trying to be merciful? Then instead of more hostiles to chop through you get NPCs to stealth around- and the ending is "raising Emily to be thoughtful and merciful too"- hence "fitting".

@Cynthric_Gaming @shamansnail @Sinnoware It's not bad vs good ending tho? I see that complaint a lot, but it's honestly more: You want to play hack-n-slash? that's fine- more enemies will spawn for you to chop through and you get the "action" ending where you raise Emily to be ruthless AF. It's not "bad" just "fitting".

@LavenderGhast It makes me livid when I'm watching a show and hear a character say in a completely regular tone-of-voice, something like: "ie, mou daijoubu" and the subtitles pop-up as something like "oh shucks! you okay, pal?". I don't know if localizers ever talk to real people...

@Rimmy_Downunder You can be a vtuber, streamer, musician, or performer WITHOUT being an "idol" and that's fine. But don't enter "idol culture spaces" online and then start disrespecting and talking down to people participating in the community the way it has existed for years. That's just rude.

@Rimmy_Downunder I don't even really like idol culture myself- I think it'd be healthier with proper boundaries between fan and talent- but y'know what? I just don't participate in it. I'm not gonna force my way into another community just to try and change it? - If it's not for you, move on. 🤷

@joecommando64 A superficial enjoyment where you forget why you even enjoyed it in the first place after 1 year of watching. Consenting to having dementia for what's supposedly one of your most passionate hobbies is dumb

Most "isolated otaku" will 'consume' so many animanga/vns/lns only to forget major details of everything within a year bc they don't keep their memory sharp through engaging with fandoms.
Mini Modu@MinModulation

Fandomites resent Otaku who care about Things, while they can only see value in social recognition. "Communities" are the workaround hack to imbue social-value around said Thing, to try to replicate in reverse what the Otaku naturally feels as their Identity, even in isolation.

@BlakkBile Idk man, I'm just sick of shit like: "Hey A-kun! Do you want to go to the movies? They're airing that new film!" Getting subbed as: "How's it hanging pal? Wanna catch a sweet flick? That totally hype new film is out!" It's like every sub is oozing with "fellow kids" type shit

@NineOuh90 "Hmm... should we expand overseas and use the additional revenue stream to pay our animators a living wage?" 🤔 💡 "I know! we'll continue to pay them peanuts, but blame their abysmal conditions on overseas piracy!" JP bros need to unionize I stg 😭 you can do it! I believe!

@AlexMD2003 @BlackZecter I think the line is "a baby born will die before the sin" which goes way harder when you realize he's mirroring the fact that black children are born already "guilty" in the eyes of the law with the Christian concept of "original sin".

@NaturalBornBuy Speaking as an English native, I think we focus more on the glottal stop in "can't" as opposed to the sound of the "t" itself. "I can help" is smooth and flows from beginning to end. "I can't help" has a sharp interrupt, even if the "t" gets dropped.

although bunny suits are not inherently attractive, an otherwise plain, unassuming girl with no curves at all making a lewd and embarrassed expression while trying to cover up her flat chest is the most attractive thing conceivable
