Can relate! As a Circle of the Stars Druid I was looking forward to utilising my Archer form for some sweet ranged spell attacks! But nope, the party always be needing my Chalace form for the heals! :-D

I’ve always found this subject fascinating. Why are we all so different in this regards? What’s going or not going on up there? Anyway, this is my result…

Wow, that’s a bummer :-/ For me it’s 15-20 min by car assuming a few minutes walk to where I’ve parked. 25 min by bike (20 min by road but I take a safer ‘scenic route’) and about 40 min by bus and about 10 minutes of that is walking to/from the bus stop. And the bus fare gets capped at 8 trips per week so every trip thereafter is free meaning if you commute to work every day, Friday and all weekend will be unlimited free trips.

One of my carless kin! There are dozens of us!! The number of times people have assumed I can’t go somewhere “because it’s raining” and I’m just like, I have a jacket and an umbrella! But what if you’re biking?? Um, I have a jacket, a backpack cover and leggings and sometimes… if I’m just heading home to a hot shower and a change of clothes, I just get soaking wet! Like absolutely sodden! NBD! And if I’m heading somewhere without the option of a change of clothes, I bus there and that leads to a whole other issue of “But that must take ssooo long!?!” Yeah sure, a bit longer, but I can relax, pop on some headphones, set google maps to tell me when I’m near my stop, watch/listen to something and let the driver worry about the driving!

So because you will be able to generate game assests easily without weeks of modelling and texturing etc games will be waaaay cheaper to buy right?… Right?…

I know you just threw this together as a demo but what I found really trippy was when I threw a short story I’ve written into it and generated a podcast from it. It’s super weird hearing a podcast based on something you’ve written that never in a million years would you hear such a discussion of :-D I don’t know how useful it is but I think it’s pretty cool.

Both it is!! 🌈🚀📚✨

I don’t get it? A space for gays? Or Gaaaaaays in spaaaaaace!!! I need to know!!

I don’t live in the US and am not an expert on any of this State vs Fed stuff but it seems to be the case that the government at the State level CAN restrict speech and descriminate against you based on your sexual orientation? Because they’re targeting books/speech that are relavant to people, partly at least, due to them being in the LGBTQIA+ community. And it’s up to YOU to defend your right to access that speech by taking legal action? So a kind of ‘guilty until proven innocent’ adjacent scenario. I’m so confused and maybe I’m missing something but it sure FEELS like the 1st amendment is optional?

I assume they could also therefore remove books based on the race of the characters in the books or because of the subject matter being of particular relavance to people of colour? But I assume that’s happened before and been tested legally and that’s the process that’s happening now with the LGBTQIA+ book bans? Is it simply that the LGBTQIA+ community isn’t yet as robust in their advocacy, lobbying & litigation as they need to be? That they don’t have the equivalent of the NAACP on their side? Should they have to? Isn’t the 1st ammendment and anti-descrimination law pretty clear?

As someone living outside the USA, I have struggled to understand what’s going on there and why it’s allowed to happen when the 1st ammendment exists expressly to stop the government from suppressing speech, the restriction of which can be damaging to vulnerable communites. Take the story of Roy and Silo, about a same sex couple (of penguins for goodness sake?!) raising a child together. This being banned sends a message to children of same sex parents that there is something wrong with their parents / family unit. I find that disturbing enough, but to the child, it could be traumatizing. How would parents explain to their child that their favourite book has been removed from their library purely because the subject of the story is a family just like theirs?!

Most concerts I’ve been to that have required travel outside of my home city have been 1000km away and I always fly. This has probably been about 10 times all up, 4 of which were festivals with multiple bands I wanted to see. I have yet to travel to another country for a concert but for a very few specific bands that’s not out of the question. There’s probably only a couple of bands that haven’t toured here yet that would actually be that tempting.

Anybody with any intelligence is for sure past the “it’s just a joke” era because they understand the context of such comments and how they have been and still are used for control & suppression of woman’s voices by giving them pause next time they might speak up. Unfortunately there are still people that are either so thick as to not understand this, of such low intelligence that it does not even register or are willfully and actively using these methods of abuse and supression themselves. Sadly some of them have a lot of power, money and reach. Others are just pathetic, sad, losers that have zero clout and just rant on forums about how “it’s just a joke”. Either way they need to be called out for it!

Not just you. I have never in all my decades cycling this earth, heard the terms cager or cage to mean car driver or car?! The headline made feck all sense to me on first read.

Crikey!? That sux :-/ I don’t recall ever encountering a road in any town or city where I’ve lived that didn’t have at least one footpath per road, and usually there’s one down each side of every single street until you get past the last house before hitting the countryside.

So… Minecraft 2 confirmed! :-D

That’s interesting, because I look at it and I just go “but that’s not Minecraft, that’s some Minecraft knock off?!” It’d be like the Lego movies being rendered entirely out of Mega Blocks or something but still calling it The Lego Movie, it would just feel weird. It’s an uncanny valley adjacent feeling.

Find your local makerspace! You will be super useful to people and able to help them out with your woodworking and computer skills, you will learn new skills adjacent to those hobbies from others and you can bake some treats to take along that will win you instant fans! Also, makerspaces attract people of a wide range of ages and backgrounds that will share many of your interests! It’s a win-win-win!

Cheers! I wondered where that went??! I’ll get it re-attached asap!

He wouldn’t have to if his opponents weren’t a self confessed couch molester and an ex President who is a 34 times convicted felon?! Now only one of these is literally true, but which one?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: re-attached missing limb

EDIT: what’s going on?! I have my forearm back but I’ve lost BOTH upper arms?!

EDIT: I have succesfully re-attached all limbs but now I’m trapped in this grey box?!

EDIT: I was actually nervous to make one more edit, but I’m pleased to announce that the procedure was a complete success! All limbs have been restored and the patient is recovering well!

It was a blend of a bit of quirky humor followed by a more profound message that Kamala Harris attributes to her mother: “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”

I assume you mean D.J.T is grasping at straws? Which he absolutely is! “Laughing Kamala” isn’t the solid burn he thinks it is LOL Suing to force Biden to stay in the race? Haha LOL good one! Oh, they’re serious? I don’t think forcing someone to stay in a race against their will is a viable legal option?? And I bet Trump is regretting his VP choice now! His whole platform seems to be “Chicks right, they should shut up and get back in the kitchen! Fricken crazy cat women running the place! NO they can’t choose what to do with their own body! Get pregnant or you’re worthless! Shouldn’t be able to vote if you don’t churn out babies!” Awesome VP to run in a race against a woman LOL Loved his speech about how he drank a diet mountain dew yesterday and today… Riveting stuff! LOL Is it telling that I can remember the soda he referenced but I can’t remember his name? I’m sure it’ll come to me…
