Is the chicken dance a particularly integral metric to your life or was that just how you tore the muscle?

Is that a combat journalist in picture four or just a tourist in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Speaking of hopping, how does one go about starting a presence as a new author? I feel like building a presence before publishing is smart, but not sure how to go about it. Just wanting to publish my work, not necessarily make it big or anything.

That looks amazing.

Tbh my black paint dried out and I can't get more until August, so I've started trying my hand at writing. Nothing to monetize, but maybe to at least share around with friends if it goes anywhere.

Looks great tho! Unless by crappy you mean the materials used, which would certainly be unique

I primarily get my models, when I can afford to, from Etsy printers. I guess I can see Etsy's logic, but I hope they clarify so that sellers with licenses can still work. LGS doesn't have a lot of my preferred minis and Etsy is cheaper than corpo shops.

Etsy cracks down on 3D printed products — new rules exclude many 3D printed items from listings

Etsy has a dragon problem.

Spokane cops always been like this. I mindlessly crossed the corner of a taped off area as a kid when Clinton came to speak. SPD officer came into the crowd, made physical contact to ask why I did that. I just have ADHD, didn't mean to breach national security over the 3 feet of concrete I walked.

Finally I understood something about these changing times. This worlds leaving me behind.

Not a computer programmer but is that pattern identifying the sort of thing machine learning could help with? Maybe make a way for Bluesky to identify bots and catch them in the act before people even need to interact with them?

Okay, now this is a public feud I'm here for

Ultimate testament to one's self control is leaving the hobby shop with EXACTLY what you went for. No "oh, I bet I could use that someday..." Or "I've been meaning to get one of those..."

I kinda balk at $60 too. $80 is almost half a 12 shift for me. Being night shift already costs additional free time in recovery. That and economy way it is, I *cannot* buy a recreational product at $80. AAA can set the price they want but... A lot of indies are cheaper and work on release day. 🤷

Wait like in the actual ICE offices or like people let them into their offices when getting raided and said "I'll be right back" and then just shoved a desk across the door after leaving the room?

Playing with toys that let them feel like real men. 40mm can be used for "bean bag" rounds or tear gas cans.

Still dangerous to use, they're called less than lethal.

Incredibly dangerous and stupid to use one, since they're going into buildings and "detaining" people.

It's dress up for ICE.

You got the gradient on the purple and white just right! That looks so cool!

Bad month for all these alternative paths to publishing, between this and Prose
