The only method I know of is cussing out a curse and calling it a worthless bitch, but it only ever really seemed to be effective when actually standing in the same room. orz

i don't believe in cringe or in putting oneself down, but i do believe that social shame is a useful tool for keeping racists, sexists, transphobes and AI-felating crytofash chuds out of spaces where they don't belong (which is to say, all of them), so yes, bully the AI gposers off of socmed

Took nearly a week to confirm since it qas at my parents, but he is totally playing a 4/4 full sized bass with a bad grip with a german bow.

How do I know?

Estinien holding the bow wrong is my favorite thing. I know it probably wasn't intentional, but it means everything to me.

Also semi-unrelated, looking at your sock and seeing it labeled 'sock' was like a bonus easter egg of silly.

hey, sorry to be annoying but I was given a ten day payment notice or face eviction. I live alone with my cat and don't have anyone to fall back on; family would sooner see me homeless than move back in so I'm leaving my kofi here :/ I'm definitely not expecting this amount but anything is helpful

I have nothing nice to say about wowhead.

Blizzard explicitly asked them to stop data mining and taking things/spoilers out of context, as it was causing a lot of problems.

Wowhead's response was essentially a "lol no :) If you make it harder to datamine we'll just dig harder."

Not enough of us are laughing that Y'shtola's father gifted her sibling Heavensward.

Do you think the writer/translator had to fight every urge to not make a... "And it comes with a free trial" joke, because I 100% would have been STRUGGLING TO NOT DO IT.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

So an anime girl with prosthetics was labeled "explicit sexual content", & then we learn that prosthetics are commonly labeled this way, & then we learn that automod has been outsourced to this ai company, & THEN we learn that the ai company might be using all our images to train ai & mods go silent

To close a Wells Fargo A/C, you must have a zero balance and no pending transactions. You can call customer service at 1-800-869-3557, visit a branch with valid ID, or by mail a completed Account Closure Request form if you are outside the U.S. Wells Fargo does not allow account closures online.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest
