Mossy Feathers (She/They)

I only see people as an enemy if they’ve declared themselves as such. I’m not gonna make the first move, life is too short to make enemies with everyone I meet. That said, if you’ve got a swastika tattooed on your forehead then I’m gonna take that as a declaration that you’re my enemy.

I hope I’m out of the US by 2028. Fuck this dumpster fire of a country.

Helped my dad wrap a box in about an inch of duct tape (which was then gift wrapped) for a cousin’s Christmas present. The box was full of packing peanuts and had a false bottom with a gift card underneath. At no point had we stopped to consider whether or not it could be opened again (it took a long time to get it open lol).

I think it’s gonna get a lot worse, but if we can hold it together then it’ll be smooth sailing afterwards. Basically, I think we’re approaching several “Great Filters” and if we can get past them then we’ll be good.

If I’m not mistaken, his policies are a big reason why Minnesota is one of the big LGBT travel destinations right now. I think he was the governor who signed legal weed into law and supported really strong trans and LGBT healthcare bills that do things like force health insurance to cover gender-affirming care.

I’m kinda in love with Walz right now. Hopefully he’ll be my governor soon™. Fuck Greg Abbott. Just hope I manage to get out before Texas fascists go full nuts.

Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Oh my god yes. One of my favorite movies to torture people with.

You forget about furry porn. Furries draw porn because we like it, not because we make money at it (but money allows those of us who do it to actually potentially live off it).

Edit: or to put it another way, someone drew furry porn and discovered they could make money doing it, not the other way around.

No. He was trying to kill you. Imo any amount of force and any target is justified in that kinda situation. Even if you managed to slice off his balls it’d be justified imo. Granted, if he disengages and you feel safe, then you should stop; I’m just saying that, in the moment, I’m not sure I would have felt safe enough to let him disengage.

Edit: the throat is far more vulnerable than the belly. Smaller target, but significantly easier to damage something in a fatal way.

Seems justified. If anything you practiced restraint by not killing him. If I was in your place I’m not sure I would have stopped because I’d be too scared that the wound wasn’t enough and that he might get up at any moment and start attacking me again.

Man that wheel is so much thinner than I was expecting. I was surprised it was broken at all until I noticed how thin the material is. That looks like it’s less than a quarter of an inch of what appears to be rigid material for something about the size of a medium-ish car.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60’s Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that’s how good it is)

Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)

3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)

[the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents…] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can’t remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and “lush” but also dancable)

Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)

Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)

Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)

And if you want the heaviest album I’ve ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It’s… It’s something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects. Best way I think I can describe it is if Pink Floyd had been a doom metal band addicted to Lovecraft. It’s trippy in a lovecraftian kinda way.

Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.

Are you sure that’s not a furry? You might have accidentally adopted a furry.

Are you me? It would have been so much easier if I’d come out like, 10yrs ago. At least I would have been on my parents insurance.

I’ll throw in “stop being afraid of the furry community you fucking dumbass; they’re a hell of a lot nicer than your current “”“friends””“”.

Imo it has less to do with photorealism vs non-photorealism and more to do with pbr (physically based rendering) vs non-pbr. The former attempts to recreate photorealistic graphics by adding additional texture maps (typically metallic/smooth or specular/roughness) to allow for things ranging from glossiness and reflectivity, to refraction and sub-surface scattering. The result is that PBR materials tend to have little to no noticeable difference between PBR enabled renderers so long as they share the same maps.

Non-pbr renderers, however, tend to be more inaccurate and tend to have visual quirks or “signatures”. For an example, to me everything made in UE3 tends to have a weird plastic-y look to it, while metals in Skyrim tend to look like foam cosplay weapons. These games can significantly benefit from raytracing because it’d involve replacing the non-pbr renderer with a PBR renderer, resulting in a significant upgrade in visual quality by itself. Throw in raytracing and you get beautiful shadows, speculars, reflections, and so on in a game previously incapable of it.

Why do you think it isn’t the other way around? I’m honestly kinda wondering if this is a case where at one point perhaps the US has Israel on a leash, but it seems like Israel now has the US on a leash.

That’s true, but if the car is cheap plastic, then it might be fine.

(For those not familiar with gallium, it’s basically mercury but safe; so it’s a liquid at room temperature but a solid just below that, depending on where you live, without the risk of Mad Hatter’s disease)

A balloon filled with helium tied to the handle. (How did that “fall out”?)

A gallium coin (if it’s cold outside then it’ll stay solid and then melt when they put it in their pocket).

An opened (but unused) bandaid. The biggest one you can find. Stick it to the handle so it flaps around and they have to choose between touching the gauze (it’s clean, but they don’t know that) or the sticky part to pull it off.

A household smoke detector. Use a piece of string to tie it to the handle.

Baby shoes. Again, tie them to the handle.

7 worms in a bag. They’re lucky.

Whenever you go into a gas station, buy a random keychain and put that on there. Watch your friend start drowning in keychains.

Christmas lights. Just all of them. All the Christmas lights all over the car. But make sure to thread them through the driver-side handle and include your “I think you dropped this” note.

Does this run on a raspberry pi 1 or 2? I can’t remember which one I have, but I barely use it so it’d be cool to have something to use it for.
