That’s something I hope to bring to the table as a digital artist someday.
I already know there’s plenty of hyper-introverted socially awkward artists who could absolutely flatten what I can do, but I feel very comfortable empathizing, working in teams, and figuring people out. I hope that’s seen as an asset some time.
But for now, I aim to just do it for myself, and talk too much. :)

“
RhinosColleges don’t play, they freaking charge your ass.” - Comment on Shit like this is why we need open source printers! 1 week ago:
Looking at OpenWRT, good Lord I still want this for routers.
For printers would be nice too though. I’m honestly surprised we can’t just build kit printers the same way we can build 3D printers, I mean, could we?
Using something like Klipper but more kinda like CUPS?
Get toner or ink in generic containers that attach to print heads? I dunno it doesn’t seem far fetched.
I’m honestly done caring that “the normies won’t want it because everything that isn’t a smartphone with a one-button app scares them.”
What will start as “enthusiast printer kits” should force openness on the printer industry at large.

I had a few in highschool that scared me big time!
But I had to give them back at the end of the year.

Wish I had answers, but converse to your handle, people expressing this kind of vulnerable, raw curiosity so that we all might learn something, is exactly why I love the Internet. :D

As a Christian Anarchist, I often find myself lonely and without a third place as well, because of what churches have become.
Yeah, I still haven’t found a church that I felt I belonged in. I got close once, but they couldn’t pay skyrocketing rent hikes and got taken over by a larger, faker, church. One that was more about feel-good seminars and recruiting free labor volunteers than anything Jesus actually had to say.
Churches of old in the US used to be based. People of today wouldn’t recognize them. They helped the poor and were a third place and looked out for each other, they were also pro-union, and this became a huge “Problem” for capitalists, who saw Christians as annoying leftists who didn’t share their pathological obsession with money.
There was a VERY concerted and well documented conspiracy by the moneyed class to infiltrate and rot American Christianity into the often capitalist, Republican-talking-point drooling zombie it is today.
Highly recommend Behind the Bastards: How the Rich ate Christianity to see just how deep this goes.
The Church used to be a threat to these barons and tyrants and bigots, rather than their lapdogs.

This reminds me of the people who genuinely fall for “romance scams”, and the scammer has all the personality and vocabulary of a wet paper bag.
And yet somehow someone will believe they’re some hot (barely literate) U.S soldier stuck in Kuwait until they can get a flight home to meet the victim for only $2000… Wait, $1000 more… But then there’s a $500 fee… And then…
Blows my mind…

Wait, you’re totally right! I had it turned around!
Quaternions avoid the gimbal lock issue, and are more efficient overall, but they’re a bit more complicated to understand.
Euler is more user-friendly on the editing side of things, and easier to understand, but it’s got some shortcomings.
Both are an option in Blender and Godot for instance, because one might suit a given situation better than the other.

Oh sweet! That’s the magic that makes rotations work intuitively in Blender and game engines! :D
… Still can’t say I understand it but I sure am grateful!
- Comment on US education 4 weeks ago:
What a coincidence! I had a very similar path! My elementary mis-education was largely a fundie school using Abeka as well. Their weird religious nationalism was so crazy when I look back on it. It’s amazing they could actually publish this crap.
I wish I still had all the old books we had to get because that would make for a good laugh (and possibly an embarrassment campaign.)
Like c’mon we were kids how were we supposed to know? But also it just felt so bullshitty, like a written form of that awkward feeling you got when it was really obvious adults were lying to manipulate you and thought you were stupid.
It was in California, so eventually I had to move to the state curriculum also, around middle school, for my grades to actually count.
Honestly, that requirement saved my intellect. I went to a secular charter school where I was pushed into interacting with so many different people of different perspectives, and I would be a much crappier person without that experience.
Even today the damage isn’t gone, there’s still so much untangling and deprogramming to do.
These “curriculums” are child abuse.
After all that, I still kept my faith, not because of that upbringing, but in spite of it.

Those are all really interesting factors to consider and I appreciate the response!
I’ll come clean, when I wrote it, I was just making a funny, like… A “decaying vacuum” would suck less over time. . .than a black hole. Lol XD
To your point though, less likelihood of finding other life is such a wildcard, for sure. (Less likelihood of meeting cool benevolent spacefarers…but also less likely to be spotted by something like Mass Effect’s Reapers, or accidentally bring home Xenomorphs or extragalactic pathogens lol)
And…not being able to ever see the beginning of everything…my curious mind says that’d be such a bummer but also…oddly beautiful? I’ll have to ponder that…

Well, that might suck slightly less in the long run?

Not enough people talk about this.
When I found out how that worked I was like
“Lemme get this straight…they get whatever they want out of you, as long as they want, exempt from overtime, for a flat yearly fee? But of course you get benefits and vacation time you are socially stigmatized from using…Yeah that’s a scam.”
What’s with the obsession with renting/owning people?!?
