CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.

About two months ago, I started to make an effort (small) to get fitter.

I can touch my toes now whilst standing now, I'm down six kilos and my back and knees are amazing. Physical weekend of doing lots of moving and cat stuff and nothing was painful.

A photo of me wearing my fursuit head and tail, a black latex catsuit, techwear pants, a techwear shrug, with my black Ibanez Xiphos 7 string guitar strapped over my shoulder. The picture is cropped just above my muzzle, so you can't see my eyes. I'm holding the guitar with rubber gloves paws.

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl
