It’s nice to meet all you. I am she/her, can speak Toki Pona and English (non-natively), and locatable on Reddit as MozartWasARed. The links at https://discord.gg/sEuSSDz6TQ and https://www.deviantart.com/triagonal/art/My-copyright-policy-and-the-impact-it-extends-into-906668443 are pertinent to me.
I was in the Battle of B-r5rb under the Halloween Coalition (and won, cue the wrath of former N3 Coalitionaires and Pandemic Legionaires). This actually technically makes me a war veteran.
Yes, they did that for all those experiments back then.
Wait, I said manned? D’Oh!
I can’t remember all the bits and pieces last week that would allow me to answer this, but at the very beginning of this week, I was happy to learn that people where I’ve been living for two years now, despite not having fully warmed up to me (and they may never do so, which does feel a little lonely), consider me a positive addition to the community to more of an extent than I originally thought. There are a number of people who give me a hard time in day-to-day life and I’ve noticed more and more they’re growing into the whole “leave Spiderman alone” routine on them.
For me, there’s one thing that comes to mind that I often talk about.
They don’t get fat, they just get longer or larger overall.
Once most cocoon species hatch into their respective moth, the moth is unable to eat by its own design, slowly dying of starvation over a few weeks, which is why the moths in your bedrooms just get smaller and smaller until they seem to vanish. Poor little guys :(
Now apply that in reverse. An insect that eats is just going to look like a bigger insect. Same goes for when they’re pregnant. If insects got fat, leaving a mound of sugar outside for them to eat would lead to fat ones, but instead they just eat themselves to death.
No, I was referring to the title which I thought referred to “if” I was an author. Though very, very few of my writings are fiction and most are vents/guides.
The first manned hot air balloon was mistaken for an eldritch monster by rural French citizens who didn’t understand it and was “beaten to death” by a French mob after it descended to the ground.
TIL Rome once had an empress.
The only justification I can think of for vandalizing a library is that the books are all guides on how to commit vandalism.
I’m already an author.
Is it pronounced poopoo?
Facial recognition technology. Not only is it not as perfect as people claim in identifying people, but some countries are using it to attack the LGBT since it was discovered the LGBT have different variances in facial features. And yet that’s not even 100% perfect, so now you have a bad technology for a negative purpose repurposed into another negative purpose that it’s causing collateral damage with because it’s as awful at that as the first thing.
I mean that describes most things. For example, if I worked for a dentist to make oral braces for people, that doesn’t mean I myself am going to ever need or use them.
“F*** the paramilitary organization” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
So is banana production. And here I am with a bowl of banana-topped chocolate ice cream. Dammit.
Happy midsummer to you too. Though for me it’s the beginning of Summer, as shown by the annual local motivationals.
