Well, that sucks. I don't have any particular love for him as a director, but I had seen negative things he'd said about AI and was pleased to have someone with that much clout against it.

I haven't done a lot of pet portraits, these are from 2022, but I do a fair bit of fantasy or fairytale art

My comission slot is set up more for potraits, because that's what I do most on comission, but I'm open to character art as well. ko-fi.com/melodyfoster...

LOVE that

This is incredibly charming

This is too, too cute

I love this, It's so charming.

I'm sorry, that sucks so much.

I have some MAGA family members & friends, but I can't imagine if it was *everyone*

And it sounds like yours are more aggressive about it than mine.
There's more of a sense that it could also be THEIR fault if the relationship fell apart.

Oh man, yeah we had it on dos first. I'd forgotten about that till just now 😄

Oh I was *irate* when they switch to 95. I got used to it, but how DARE they replace my beloved Windows 3.1 ?

I haven't thought about Commander Keen for years! I was so bad at it, but it was one of my favs.

I loved Windows 7. I got used to Windows 10, but I'd take Windows 7 back in a heartbeat.

It IS true that providers often discount if you are paying out of pocket.

But.

The larger the network your provider is a part of - the LESS the discount is.

An indi anesthesiologist discounted me 87%
The mega hospital I was at wouldn't tell me what their discount was, just insisted it existed.

Last year a lab tech decided to be cute & change my primary reason for getting tests from "wellness visit" (covered) to "obesity" (not covered)

The bill from the lab was $700.
The amount my insurance paid after I harranged people into fixing her "mistake" was $100.
