a lot of these are terrible, made by an animator who doesn’t understand design and just wants to make lines move for the heck of it.

that went well for concorde, didn’t it?

yeah but, while most of the english vocabulary is romance-based, the grand majority of what we actually use in daily life is germanic

if possible, check for capitalization so “Musk” is blocked but “musk” is allowed?

idk man, the upvote ratio speaks for itself.

i’m on boost. i’ve tried quite a few options, but even with the ads, boost just feels like home.

to be clear, i’ve been out to the rest of my family for a long time, and i am very open about my sexuality (even irl, which takes at least some balls because i’m not in a very lgbt-friendly region). the reason i am not out to my father is that he has always been a traditional “man of the house” person, and i am not driving a wedge in our relationship by letting him know that his ideal bloodline ends with me.

if you don’t understand the cultural contexts in which i reside, do not assume my intentions or degrade my decisions.

okay, i’m gay, but this is still relevant.

my dad (who i haven’t come out to yet) thinks colourful underwear is gay, and those are his remarks to seeing that i’ve packed both red and blue undies while we were on vacation last year.

like bro they’re just colours.

just use your phone. you’re taking pictures and video for the memories, not for flawless record-keeping or streaming on live tv or post-game analysis.

learn to be skeptical, recognize logical fallacies, and never get angry.

if i may be pedantic for a sec, a lot of people mistake punishment for “negative reinforcement”.

“reinforcement” means encouraging and reinforcing desired behaviour. “positive reinforcement” is providing positive stimulus as a reward for good behaviour, like giving a dog a treat for obeying commands. “negative reinforcement” is removing negative stimulus as a reward, like stopping the obnoxious low-health beeping when you heal a pokemon from critical health.

“punishment” is for discouraging undesirable behaviour. “positive punishment” is adding negative stimulus, such as physical abuse; and “negative punishment” is taking something away, like taking away an unruly teen’s phone.

Gun control in the US.

Gun control would normally work in any other country, but guns are so ingrained in American culture and history that it is infeasible to simply just implement gun control and expect everything to work.

Couple that gun culture with a whole lot of systemic issues (capitalism, remnants of racist laws, wealth inequality, healthcare, police brutality, education system, firearms safety) and you get the gun violence rampant across the US.

Gun control won’t work on its own. If you want to get rid of guns, you gotta fix everything at the same time, which won’t happen because half the country would vote against progress and their own interests in the name of “owning the libs”.

before i engage with you on this, i’d like to ask you a few questions:

1. are you eligible to vote in the US

2. who do you plan on voting for

3. if you, gun to your head, have to choose between harris or trump, who would you prefer?

EDIT: it has been two days and the person i’m replying to still hasn’t responded. if one is unwilling to engage in constructive discourse, one should not make wild claims.

i love lizardmen. mainly because i am a scalie.

he’s just roleplaying as a carnivorous creature, don’t you worry. im guessing dragon, based on his name?

it’s not a you problem. different individuals see colour differently. artists may perceive colours differently due to practice in colour theory, lighting, and perhaps paint mixing. people from different cultures may categorize one colour into different groups. what people see as hot pink, programmers may see as magenta or simply just #FF00FF.

but i like bad dragons :(
