The problem is that a lot of powers that be are using that frustration towards solving that impossible problem as an excuse to push agendas under the guise of solving it. People pushing for censorship and outright bans are NOT in it for the children's sake.

There ARE no better ideas. If there was a fool-proof way to keep children out of adult spaces, we'd have done it by now, a long time ago. Censorship is objectively worse, and age verification is both flawed (easily circumvented or outright won't work) and highly dangerous (risk for a stolen ID).

If you look on Google Maps, you can see updated aerial and street view images that show evidence of damage. Though the ground is relatively unscathed, you can compared old and new images to see disappeared trees and wrecked structures. It's fortunate that the big guy was in a relatively barren area.

Turns out the clothing @spade.expert chose to wear on her patrol through the woods didn't provide a lot of protection from curious, intruding snouts from curious fire types. Though she doesn't seem to mind~

I ain't a dog. What're YOU gonna do about it, dog walker? It's a sign, not a cop.. and your name ain't Jenny now, is it?

Decently rigged and styled quadrupedal avatars in a social VR game have been a holy grail for quite a few people. I dunno if this is just a flex for yourself, or you're planning to offer a base for sale, but . . . I'll just say that's really, really interesting looking. o:

In a world where people seek out and are desperate for genuine experiences, they become a marketable audience for it. It's a shame that we're so bad at sussing out disingenuous behavior that we invented the "content creator" industry, and fall for so much political display. It could explain a lot.

Fyre Flareon @flareon.eevee.center · 9d

Are you not entertained?!

A lot of entertainment is disingenuous. Actors are named as such for exactly that; they act. Good ones convince you that it's real, but that's the whole schtick, in'it? Content creators are just actors putting on a show for you. If they're bad, it shows.

Blue sky is proportionally more active than Twitter for the users that it has relative to the other. Twitter also has stagnant growth. All Blue Sky needs is time.. and not bad policy. Hopefully it won’t fall victim to enshittification like most things.

Time for some new tricks to demonstrate on this #FursuitFriday ! Here, I am demonstrating how to balance smol creatures on my snout, with a little help from Reid (dogbutwithfire). I think it was a resounding success! .. Who says you can't teach an old Flare new tricks?

True, but I thiiiink it was meant to be more than just an art gallery. Maybe I'm wrong.

Itaku is the next best "feed" social media that caters to furries.

Someone on a road trip stopped by my house for the night, as it's much cheaper than a hotel! Apparently *this* is the impression I gave them. Just a silly lil' guy.

There are many ways to capture Umbreons. Damage them and throw a Pokéball. Use a net! A leash. Orrr you can just be manual about it, and grab 'em. They're squirmy creatures, so you might need help!

I don't think you'd be *sleeping* for a good, long while.

Art galleries are comparatively slow when you have social media like Twitter, BSky, etc with the powerful re-tweet function and feed scroll. Traditional galleries never had mechanics like that to put content in front of people, so growth is always less. Itaku is an exception, but lacks a userbase.

That's fantastic news. Though if I may make a suggestion, as a prior consumer of Dream Waves for my group before we were forced to drop it to accommodate Quest users: make the card room bigger, and don't put the reset button on the table where people pick up cards from! Too many accidental resets.

That is, indeed, the same picture. :3

Do they actually, like, want to deliver packages, or just drive a whole lot?
