The golden spike was the last railroad spike driven into the US' first transcontinental railroad. They really should have made the statue "right-side up" though. It'd look less like a PS1 dildo and more like a railroad spike.

Diamond is actually a very efficient heat conductor.

That's not a bad idea, I'll have to keep that in mind myself.

Shit. Hmmm... Does he have a decent water bottle? Maybe something like a hyroflask would be good. Plus it'd be multi-use. Another possibility might be a skate bag to put his stuff in if he doesn't already have one.

See, those would be better terms to use. It wouldn't fit the acronym, but they'd be more precise and not imply that chunky people are easily grifted.

Does he have a skateboard? If so, maybe some cool wheels or bearings? Figure out what kinda wheels he uses first though. There are different types that are good for different situations.

Edit: I'm not super into skateboarding, but if I'm not mistaken, Bones bearings are generally seen as some of the best you can get.

I had to look up what an "endomorph" is; sounds like it's the "built like a tank" body type. So I mean, c'mon man. I know the kinda people you're aiming for, but you hit a bunch of other people in the process. Not judging you too hard, I've done the same thing (and will probably continue to make the same or similar mistakes), but... Yeah.

Edit: to explain my discomfort, based on what I've read, "endomorph" is a body type that could be described as stocky. Not fat, not obese or stupid or a meathead, but just stocky. I've known people like that, and none of them were the kinda people who'd get fooled by Trump. They weren't stupid, they were in very, very good shape, and they were kind people. The implication in the post, however, is that people who have that body type are easily grifted by Trump & Co.

(Also, fat shaming isn't a very nice thing to do. You might think obese people are ugly or gross, but they're still people and they still have feelings. Don't be a dick.)

"Your body, my choice?"

Over your dead body.

I'm hoping she'll eventually come around. In the meantime though, I'm getting to try and figure out how to get on my feet long enough to move out.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 1 points 2 days ago

Alright, thanks for the info.

Aside from being a bullpup and the clumsiness of trying to load two independent tube mags, what's wrong with it? I'm not expecting to storm a fortified position; I'm only expecting to use it for self-defense and I highly doubt I'd need to go through both mags in such a situation (if so then I'd probably be fucked either way) so reloading shouldn't be a problem. Bullpup is bullpup *shrug*. The other option is some form of semi-auto shotgun like a Saiga-12 that I can buy a drum mag for.

I'm not really interested in a rifle or pistol. Not really interested in something that can penetrate multiple walls and potentially end up in my neighbor's neighbor's wall. If I end up actually getting organized with a group then that'd change, but my modus operandi right now is to put my head down until I'm in a more secure environment; which means basically a shotgun because that seems like the ideal self-defense weapon for a home environment.

I love that song... It's just so sad. The kid wants to spend time with his dad but can't because his dad's always busy, and then the dad wants to spend time with his kid but can't because his child's all grown up and is busy now.

Dio stands on the roof of a McDonald's and pisses into the air conditioner while the Todd Moon watches.

 

Afaik no one knows where the line between "human-made" and "machine-made" is, so AI-generated imagery is considered public domain (at least for now).

 

I recently saw a couple posts on techtakes and holy shit their members are, well, awful. Is this some kinda metajoke or running gag? Their members tend to have positive comment scores despite being massive assholes. That seems out of character for Lemmy which is why I'm confused and wondering if there's some kinda running gag I missed.

Leading up to his death:


For those of you outside of the community (and possibly wondering why the furry side of social media is on fire), Dragoneer did a hell of a lot for the furry community. FurAffinity is the largest furry art host and social network; he could have sold out and allowed AI, or made the site friendly to corporate advertising, but he didn't.

He intentionally didn't.

If he had, he probably would have been able to afford healthcare, but he didn't.

He died because he wanted to keep the site in the community instead of whoring it out to corporations, resulting in him not having the money for healthcare when he needed it the most. I wish I'd been more aware of what was going on because I would have chipped in to help (if he'd allowed it).

It makes me fucking furious that the US, the country with the highest GDP in the world by 10 TRILLION DOLLARS, still allows this to happen.

RIP Dragoneer, we'll never forget you. Wherever you are, I hope it's filled with fur, feathers, scales and wagging tails.


Edit: made some formatting edits

Edit: I was trying to make a joke about how her new fondness for the number "34" was because "haha funny sex rule number" aka "rule34".

 

Sauce

Edit for people who are curious: it's not Photoshop, it's a troodontid mask made by Archesuchus for their "Weird Birds" series. Here's what it looks like under normal lighting conditions.

Not gonna lie, I really, really want one. But fursuit heads are expensive (I'm assuming the cost would be similar since that's basically what it is) and I don't have the skill or tools to make one myself. :c
