if only it had been an audi, we could have joked how it has become an innie.

Is that why the animetitties sub now has actual anime titties again instead of being a more serious version of world news like it was for a while?

HAS THE BETRAYING OF GENERAL LEO AND THE MASSACRE OF DOMA TAUGHT US NOTHING

The returners should have never agreed to "peace talks" in Vector; they should have burnt it to the fucking ground when they had a chance.

Jesus fucking christ literal real life Kefka Palazzo shit going on. Even the cartoonishly evil villains of 90s era video games are eclipsed by the outrageous fuckery of the heinous clowns you find in real life.

2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.

i've heard that too, and witnessed it happen to loved ones, that transitioning not only brightened their lives but also made them more themselves. My best friend who got married just two weeks ago, when I met her back in 2012 she had been so withdrawn and downtrodden, and it seemed like nothing any of our other friends were capable of doing could make her feel better. But then after embracing who she is, and actually BECOMING herself... she's so vibrant now! Her artistic talent blossomed too - and the fella she married, also an artist, they make gorgeous pieces together.

(it's furry smut though so definitely not for everyone X3)

Thank you for telling me all this neat stuff! :D

I think I get what you are intending to imply by the word "intuitively"; it's that it eventually becomes as reflexive and fluid as touch-typing itself.

Gosh you make it sound almost like you play Vim like an instrument more than use it...!

Honestly that sounds cool ^_^

And I want to make it clear I'm not even complaining OR criticizing! XD

It's wholesome in a peculiar way: people who want to embrace simple joy, and to love others with the same unbridled enthusiasm as dogs do? That's beautiful and sweet deep down at the heart of it.

Even though I KNOW that for many it's a "sex thing"... Honestly so what. Anyone who doesn't like it can choose to do literally anything else with their time.

I've stopped caring about pointless judgement, moralizing pearl clutching hand wringing self-righteous hysterical theatrics... What a waste of time and energy when instead happiness is actually an option.

Maybe it's jealousy. How dare someone be happy, right? Whatever! Let them be goodgirls. There are few things more harmless than that.

I don't think I could ever play the role of an "owner" (apparently that's a thing) but I'm happy when I see them, in the same way I'm happy when I see dogs. Because I see dogs.

the internet was awesome for like ... twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden...

If I wanted to hear about what's good about Vim, should I:

a) ask what's good about vim

-OR-

b) assert blindly that there is nothing good about vim so fanboys will come crawling out of the walls tripping over each other to tell me how I'm wrong?

and that's how folks transition into puppygirls.

And in order for hydro's effects to be most easy to curtail, you need very specific terrain topology - such as where I live, in the Springfield area of Massachusetts, there's a hydroelectric dam on the Connecticut River in South Hadley/Holyoke (the two sides of the river at that section):

The dam was built where there were natural falls. So the dam leveraged the fact that the change in water elevation was natural and already extant prior to the dam's existence. They've had a fish elevator system for longer than I've been alive, too. Rather than changing how the hydrological system worked in the area, the dam stabilized it upstream such that the water level up the Connecticut River from there is more consistent than it used to be before - whenever there's more water than usual, the dam can increase spill rate.

The city of chicopee, across the river from holyoke and just north of springfield, also has a hydroelectric dam, also built where there were natural falls. This region is pretty good for stuff like that, and our electrical supply is much hardier as a result!
