as an asexual person i find other people's opinions on this interesting. the sex scenes do nothing for me and i'm usually just waiting for them to end but i understand my circumstances are not common. i can only assume that someone who is into sex gets something out of sex scenes, otherwise they wouldn't exist.
what i don't understand is the demonizing of sex scenes in movies. like does everyone only watch movies with their parents/kids? i don't like sex scenes due to my asexuality and i'm glad that there are few of them because this cultural shift benefits me specifically (who has never been in the target demographic) in a roundabout way. but i wouldn't say they are all gross/unnecessary/graphic/etc as a blanket statement like i see people in this thread and other places online say. art doesn't need to be for everyone.
my first amigurumi with color switching! there are a lot of small mistakes on this one, but i think the overall quality is an improvement over my previous amigurumi.
maybe its because the shape is more complex than i've tried before, but it baffles me that i made this with my hands from nothing but yarn, stuffing, and safety eyes.

ok the title is a little bit of a lie, i made a tiny jellyfish before this but the that was like 10 tiny rows so it doesn't count.
i love this guy! i learned a lot about how to improve my technique while making him, and i'm just really stoked with how he ended up. his eyes are a little wonky and the tension in the tentacles is all over the place, but i can write that off as personality lol. i was also pleasantly surprised with how the variegated yarn looks in a finished piece.
this pattern is free on ravelry: hubble the squid
i just learned how to crochet and made these lil guys because the plastic/vinyl/whatever stuff on them was cracking and falling off. they're held taut by a drawstring which i just noticed is perfectly hidden by the angle of this picture, but i just used some extra yarn and tied it like shoelaces.
really simple and easy as a first project! i'm not sure if it is visible in the picture but i made the blue one second and i think it came out much better.
i got the idea from this video and used it as a general reference.
yeah the hardest part of being vegan is interacting with non vegans. gotta love how the default response to veganism (you know that thing we do to try to better the planet and animal rights and shit) is to argue as if doing something about the issues you care about is a negative trait.
mfs always got something to say and love attacking a thing that as far as i'm aware is proven to be better for personal health, the environment, your wallet, and animals.
this is the correct response.
get it in writing that they accept the risk that comes with not upgrading so it can't come back on you. all you can do is CYA and make recommendations - if management does not agree with your recommendations make sure you have it documented that you informed whoever is making the decision of the risk.
if you think your employer will somehow still try to hold you accountable for this, save the aforementioned correspondence using something your employer does not manage i.e. a personal device. you could also let other people than this specific individual know about this so it isn't just your word vs his.
corporation yet again proving that if you want to be free to use your own things that you paid for on your own computer you can never trust anything that requires an internet connection to not trample all over your rights
love it very cool really vibing with the current state of software and the internet
i wouldn't trust a company who would enable this by default to allow users to TRULY completely disable it. much like how you can only opt out of the telemetry options they allow you to.
so true bestie i also love it when some guy sticks his hand into my ass to impregnate me against my wishes
been battling impostor syndrome for my whole career, and today i learned that one of the new (not new to the field) people on my team doesn't know how to use excel, the thing i spend like 50% of my working hours using.
worrying for my team and maybe the industry, but very comforting personally lol
local man who wants to own the internet experiences what that would be like for users, doesn't like it, learns nothing. more at 11
peak reading comprehension
why doesn't Radiohead put out an entire album of songs like pulk/pull revolving doors? they had a really unique and cohesive idm sound going and kinda dropped it to the side
not so much that they like to be used by companies, but that they don't care enough to change or learn how to stop it. for most people, the idea of giving up their favorite online service because of ads or whatever other predatory anti consumer shit it implements is a little extreme.
as long as it works, the vast majority of people who are not tech-literate will just use it regardless.
not the commenter you asked but i use a binary search when i'm playing a modded game that is having issues to pinpoint which mod(s) cause the issue. beats launching the game over and over to test each mod by a long shot.
a recent example: i put together a mod list for risk of rain 2 to play with some friends, but the game crashed on launch when all the mods were installed. so i disabled half the mods (in order, alphabetically or other) and tried to launch the game again - still crashing. disabled half the remaining enabled mods, test, repeated as necessary. with only a few cycles of booting the game, i was able to determine the specific mod causing a crash on startup out of my list of 50 something mods.
