  Microstiff could give me the IP and still get a better game than Bethesda has ever made and I’m about as qualified as the dumpster across the street from Todd’s office.

  Been in a prolonged battle with a Bradford pear in my yard. Say what you will about their flaws, I’ve never cooked over a tastier wood and I’ve never seen a tree grow faster than I can burn it. I’m gonna miss that pearwood flavor when i finally win.

  Damn, that’s actually a quality fry job. I can’t get it to stick that well on actual food!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatta my color? 🤩⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t need to. You’re gorgeous, as each human naturally is. Any stance to the opposite is based purely on opinion and those only go as far as the people that hold them.

  This is an art style that takes me back to watching dumb videos on the internet in 2007.

  Start at the very beginning and just watch every episode. A lot of tge older ones aren’t amazing or memorable or ground breaking, but every single one of them is enjoyable and the amazing ones are spaced out well enough that you have time to ponder them funing thd lesser episodes.

  I havent made them myself, I drafted them for a student to make for her specoal needs sibling. That said, I have some really nice headphones with broken plastic that I’ve been meaning to modify.

  I modeled it off of a pair of Panasonic EAH-20 that I had back in highschool but with wider bands to allow a bit more robustness and with holes and slots for 3m screws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plastic hinges on modern headphones⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have templates for metal parts you can cut and bend with hand tools and a cheap dremel. I can send it to you if you want.

  This is a big part of why I still play. At a certain point, the blocks and pixels fall away and you find yourself gazing down into a lush valley with all the awe and reverence of someone seeing it for real.

  As someone who while likely never escape the flat hell I was born into, that’s enough to keep my flame aglow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Candy cigarettes are illegal because they encourage kids to smoke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re still sold here in Kansas as both. They also sell them as “candy sticks” in little packets with popular characters on it so everyone can talk about how they used to look like malboros.

  That one actually has two different pics, one with her standing with the gun, the other with her pointing it at the monitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll take 4 and 8⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  4&5. I already have the perfect partner so 1 is out. Body swap loses that partner, so 8 is out. Everything else here is just free money with extra steps and my disdain for paying for things isn’t so great that I’d limit my options to avoid actually seeing the bill. 20mil initial investments and 30k monthly income while the rest goes to more investments.

  Now, that’s 360,000 personal and 11,640,000 investment annually. With this money being obtained presumably through magic, I would not need to dedicate time to making it. With the allotted free time, I would purchase or establish an independent bank to store my income as well as a small investing firm to manage my wealth. They would be personally vetted, paid handsomely, and I would dedicate time to accommodate their needs and engage with them. They’re not my servants, they’re literally the people making this work.

  With this established, I would first buy up large swaths of the entertainment industry in rural areas across the US. Bowling allies, movie theatres, pools, gyms, things like that as well as at least one advertising and PR firm. These become socialized. Free access for anyone under 20, memberships are income based sliding scales. Employees are paid fair marker value. I will also broker deals with aldi to begin putting stores in every population bigger than 2k. These ventures are subsidized by my own magic money and dividends from my investments.

  After effectively white washing my image with philanthropy for the first 5 years, I will retain a retinue of private mercinaries recruited from military and paramilitary bodies based on their commitment to my cause and picked for a complex mix of loyalty and willingness to do awful things for a good reason. Through a combination of bribery lobbying and the liberal application of men with violence, I will begin to curate government policy. Incentivizing the nationalization of businesses too big to fail, utilities, and infrastructural maintenance needs. Using my network of entertainment venues I will away public opinion in the support of this and candidates I approve of through the application of advertising and psychological warfare techniques.

  At year 10, I will begin orchestrating the removal of the wealthy elite. Most live lavish and reckless lifestyles and accidents happen. The key point here is that you can’t buy a billionaire but you can buy their dealer and I’m sure he’s not getting paid as much as my bowling alley attendants make. With the pool of competing interests dwindling, I will return to step 1 and continue my efforts to effectively make fun free.

  And this is why I’m not allowed to have money.

  I was just thinking, this is not the first image like this I’ve seen and I’d really like to know the context I’m missing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Works for me my dude! I use the same username on every platform, hit me up on stoat, @tuta.com for email, or discord until March 1st.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey if you’re interested in trying stoat then matrix, playing Minecraft, or building a secret organization with the key tenants of “be a good person and be weird and silly” you should hit me up! I’m literally looking for friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what, I’ll bite.

  I’m honestly pretty bummed out. With the recent changes to Discord I’ve decided enough is enough and I’m dropping it. Unfortunately my entire social life is currently on discord as life and distance make it hard to meet up. When I broached making a group somewhere else, the general consensus was that keeping in touch or potentially gaming together wasn’t enough to be worth it. One of my oldest friends it’s also dropping discord but will not be joining another platform with me. We’d been distant since I got married and this very much feels like his effort to officially cut ties.

  So here I am, in my early 30’s and again facing the disillusion of my social circle. Something I’ve gone through on 4 previous occasions and each time it gets harder to start new because more people have either already established their group or committed to not having one.

  I really want to be part of a community, but where am I supposed to meet people with interests like mine when the baseline for people into niche hobbies, diy, secret societies, goblincore, and all my other interests is that they’re cronically anti-social and only care yo exist online?

  I’d totally be the guy maintaining the group matrix, hosting our streaming server, putting out weekly news letters, getting people together to play magic in weird venues, scouting out hole in the wall restaurants. I live for things like that but what’s the point of it if the only friend I have is my spouse who I can just talk to when I do the thing? You can’t play a curated cards against humanity set or custom fallout themed catan with two people.

  How do you make friends?

  It would be if it weren’t for the edit, that almost makes it funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, honestly I’m not mad. This is still better that every other post being a guerilla marketing ploy. Makes me long for the internet of 2006.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That feels like a weak argument, revenge porn is a crime, so is illustrated csam. A quick check of why someone thinks either of those should be allowed would either lead to their greater understanding of the topic or the realization that they’re not qualified to make these decisions.

  Extreme fetishes could be a hard topic. Needles and blood play skeeve me the hell out, but the flow chart goes “all parties consent and enjoy -> does not incriminate host-> allowed to exist.” So it isn’t up to my skeeves to yuck someone’s yum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The original Gremlin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely related to the scion breed, but just different enough to tell at a glance. Like a weasel and a stoat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The original Gremlin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ugly it may be, but i long for distinct designs in cars. It’s why i like the kia soul, you can’t mistake it for anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hip Hues⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my jam as a kid. If it was possible, my house would be early oughts shrek instead of mid century modern, but even the shitty stuff from the 70’s will outlast the best of 2002.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to android ROMs and degoogling and I have questions.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly that’s the worst option budget wise, the cheap one is twice what I have to spend for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to android ROMs and degoogling and I have questions.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s looking like no matter where I go I’m going to have to spend too much fora device with a logo if I want out of this corpo nonsense…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to android ROMs and degoogling and I have questions.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I keep hearing. From the look of it, getting the new OS will probably be the easiest step, the hard part is getting my hands on a phone without putting my whole rent into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some out-of-the-box ideas you've heard of?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have this whole augmented reality game set up on paper that’s the modern progression of those pocket pet toys from the 2000’s. Unfortunately I have no ability to program, otherwise it’d be on the playstore already.
