Nah, I want someone to like me for me, not because magic.

On the one hand, you kind of are making yourself a lie of sorts, which is unethical.

On the other hand, presumably the magic is permanent and that’s just the new you, forever, so it’s not a lie. You’ve just changed your personality to fit their desire/needs.

So much in the way that Aladdin became a prince via phenomenal cosmic power, he really was a prince and not a fake prince, and therefore never really lied to jasmine about that (he just about literally any part of his past as a prince, since he wasn’t until yesterday), because genie magic isnt some cheap parlor trick.

So yeah, as long as you are the one permanently changing and you don’t lie about it then I guess that’s okay with me.

Lmao imagine being from Australia and pretending your own history of human rights violations isn’t filled with intentional blind spots.

You first

Benches as an example do show up on renderers like Carta (the one on the OSM website) and can be genuinely useful to individuals.

HOE LI FUKK!

As partner to someone with degenerative and chronic disorders (and the most able-bodied person multiple people trust to push their wheelchairs) this will come in SO handy, and I’m definitely going to be micromapping the shit out of every park and downtown area I visit.

RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

Also it will now absorb much more heat and heat the water more, likely making filtration much more complex due to changing water conditions.

My pool always gets gross the day or two after a Heatwave starts, and until I ut more chlorine tabs and algaecide, I don’t even like to be near it.

The POOL is fairly simple to get back in line.

This massive reflecting pool? Not so much. Bare minimum the whole system will need redone.

And she might have supported Israel in an ongoing genocide!

And started a trade war!

Sure glad none of this stuff is happening.

Cool, I don’t remember specifying any country, so I’m not sure why we’re talking as if I’m trying to defend us policy.

And what country are we talking about, exactly? Are you sure you know?

Wow I sure am seeing a lot of thinly veiled “but what about” and “that’s just propaganda you’re being lied to by your government and people online and no I will not provide you with anything other than mockery because lmao amiriteguyz” in these comments

I really think avatar should have done a little more to show life for non benders.

We get a little bit here and there, but never really see “normal people who have to be on their toes around benders” kind of life outside of the single western lone-wanderer episode where Zuko left Iroh and was helped by an earth kingdom family, who then all turn on him when they find out he’s a fire bender for sure, claiming to be prince of the fire nation.

Damn that is a good episode…

But Imagine being a normal person going about your life when BAM half your house is gone because a teenager still wrangling with his abilities accidentally shot a boulder (not THE Boulder) through your front wall. Are the cops gonna do anything about it? Or are they gonna shrug and tell you they don’t have any benders on their payroll so nobody wants to risk getting sunk through the floor.

Getting real tired of seeing cool art stuff and then they bury the leer with “check out the whole thing on twitter/insta/reddit” and if you bring up the issues with those platforms everyone trips over themselves to justify why their use of the neonazi-billionaire-pedo owned sites is justified…

Bring back?

My random internet person, we enshrined it in our goddamn constitution. It never went away, we legalized it and constitutionally protected it in such a way that ensures it will never go away until the document on which it is written is burned along with the institution that created it.

There’s never going to be anything 2/3 of states agree on enough to change the constitution for again. Divisive politics and complicit media make sure of that.

I tend to recognize usernames I see at least once a day, if they’re phrases or words. Not if they’re like strings of random characters…

I thought I posted too much on my alt on another instance.

Glad I don’t see the username here, cause at least that means I wasn’t super annoying lmao

I think everyone here has already posted all the names I usually see.

There’s also stamets, though I haven’t seen them active in places I visit in awhile. Also a few users with custom names like Admiral Patrick or Riker Maneuver.

I love fucking up their data.

Haha, bitches I had no ovaries to begin with, and now you think I’m ovulating soon!

Mwahahaha :3

I was super excited to try it out, and after spending about a week binging it, I came to the conclusion I didn’t have fun playing it.

It did have a bit of a learning curve but once it clicks, you’re breezing along. It just didn’t fill my city building void.

This just in: Headlines differ when news is years apart! World in shambles. More at 11.

I didn’t know who zendaya was until Dune. I heard the name, never saw the face until dune. Apparently she was a super big name by then? Idk I’ve heard she’s in a lot of things but most of them I’ve never heard of or never cared to watch.

It really just depends on how they’re famous and what media people consume.

I’m absolutely positive there are dozens of artists of one type or another that I have never heard of that would make people do a double take and ask me what rock I’ve been living under.

Sometimes I feel like that Daniel Thrasher sketch where hoodie guy doesn’t know who Lil’ Pregnant is.

When I drove a pickup? Lol no pickup drivers are 99% assholes and pieces of shit.

Now that I’m driving an older model car? Also no, I see a parts bin I can pillage when my car dies.
