This is how you end up becoming a ‘critic’, in the sense of “this is someone who is media literate enough to speak more about whether a show has broken new ground creatively, rather than just saying whether they have succeeded in being merely entertaining”. A lot of people simply don’t care about the creative merits of a production and just want to be entertained, but enough of us are harder to please that good critics with worthwhile observations are always in demand.

Every time I’ve heard of this news story I’ve thought something like this needs to exist instead. Super glad someone agrees with me. .

Not all true statements are on topic, I had to learn the hard way too. I know how it is

Shake one out real quick, clear your head, and think for a minute; if she was poly AND knows you have feelings for her, would she treat you as just a friend?

A healthy poly couple would be communicating with you openly, individually and as a group. You’d be having a lot of conversations by now.

The scarcity you’re talking about is cosmic in scale, and doesn’t have a lot to do with the false scarcity people are talking about.

Defilade I guess, feels like it might be a more secure position when drones are in the picture

It says it right there if you look ヘ⁠(⁠￣⁠ω⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠)

10% market share is a massive success. I wonder what sort of fuckery Windows will pull when it’s twice as much.

Exaggerated 10,000x, I read several moments too late

We did see it coming, but we are dumb

This is commonly referred to as death.

Social collapse isn’t an exciting day in your life, it’s a broad trend historians will puzzle over centuries later. Look at the bronze age collapse for an example.

Always

Thanks! I’ll crosspost this, wasn’t sure if artshare was quite right but this is my usual wheelhouse.

Mainstream Dems are little better than Republicans, they’re all just dancing to the tune of Citizens United these days. Anyone that isn’t is labelled a radical

I don’t remember much about the view, blame the frisky partner. But yeah, would love to see good passenger trains in the US someday.

That was the part of my answer I wasn’t as happy with, admittedly. The way things are in the states make it really hard to see how you’d set up a politically independent, impartial yet informed, and corruption-resistant governing body for any kind of pot of public money. Especially a pot of money that would be clawed away from tyrannical billionaires who would have every reason to want to ratfuck the thing or get their money back.

I used to ride that one between my Seattle and Oakland friend groups. I also once took Amtrak all the way to Seattle from the middle of Ohio with no sleeper. If I wasn’t travelling with a frisky new partner it would have been quite miserable.

These days I am liking trains more than ever, the ones in the UK and Europe aren’t perfect but even their worst are a better ride than Amtrak. Would love to see the Coast Starlight route again from the seat of a better train though.

That’s cool! Not a question, just pointing out something I liked :D

Textures like this are so moody and tactile, it’s hard not to love them. They can work really well when there’s a sense of 3D construction to lend some weight to things.

I’m also really interested in how you used those gritty splatter effects for shading!
