given the happenings on bluesky lately i don't feel comfortable saying what i think should happen to them

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 2d

my moderate compromise position is that all body modifications should be available for free at Claire's, and also everyone in the weight loss industry should be [redacted]

I've stopped rendering btw. Since I'm not visible to the camera. It's to save polygons. Boss's orders

and if you're really buying the curvature description, then it doesn't actually matter if the ball stretches the trampoline down or up! the curvature is the same either way.

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 2d

but this is also why my biggest problem with the "ball on trampoline" model is that it almost *does* work as a description of curvature... but you have to understand this weird thing about how stretching space like that affects straight lines

when the outside has to be longer than the inside, it curves towards the inside.

does this make any sense? this is how my brain reasons about it

now let's go back to relativity. imagine something has "stretched" an area of space around it, so that it has more "space". if we're drawing a trajectory that passes nearby, the edge on the outside is going to have to be "longer" to compensate for the inside going through an area with more space.

another thought about curved spacetime: one way of defining a "straight line" is this: think about the line as having a very narrow width, and ask "are the left sides and the right sides the same length?". if they're the same, the line is straight; if they're different, the line must be curved.

If you want to think about general relativity in lay terms, stop talking about bowling balls on trampolines. Start thinking about how going north from anywhere on the equator ends you up at the same spot, the north pole

option 1: different designs for each page (cups, swords, wands, coins) that express them
option 2: similar shared designs but with the suit substituted

which would be better. for pages to match each other, or for pages to express themselves but i have to do four times as much work

Annoyed that there hasn't been a new Creatures since like 2001 but worried that a modern-day Creatures would be a gacha game with a Rick and Morty crossover or some shit

Here's the full art for the front. I think I'd love to do more takes on different box art styles. Maybe I could even convince someone to make it a real model.

rare politics post: i don't think you can have a coherent political analysis of the republican party without understanding that since reagan at least they've been trying to dismantle the us federal government. this is why bipartisanship fails
