The first episode is absolutely disgusting (in a bad way) and I still hesitate to recommend this show because of it.

Which sucks! Cause I guess this show is actually good? I like the characters and the romance and the monsters, but holy shit that first episode was so bad for something that is actually becoming pretty enjoyable.

But yeah, me and the bf were bawling by the end of this one.

If people are going to do funny things they should not publicly post about it.

Resin printers mean extra post-processing (gotta wash the excess resin off in alcohol, trim the supports, then cure in a UV box. Then chemical disposal is complicated) but you get higher detail.

But! Fdm printers are getting much better at this too! A well tuned printer (tuning your printer is a whole-ass hobby, be warned) with a 0.2mm nozzle (or a Bambu* basically right out of the box) will work just fine for most cases.

*Look these things have proprietary firmware and that sucks, but it's as close as we have ever gotten to "my printer is an appliance that just makes what I want with no fuss." Don't bother with their expensive filament, it's no better than the cheap stuff and you can completely ignore their microchip system. An A1 mini is barely more expensive than an Ender 3 (which used to be the go-to cheap ass printer) and is the smoothest and fastest printer I have ever owned by a good deal.

I have not heard anything exculpatory about Beria, he seems like a real bad dude, but Fedvans has a real big hateboner for the USSR and will happily take fictional events from movies as historical fact if they fit his biases.

I got Outer Wilds but haven't played it yet.

Also last Friday was the mtg Foundations prerelease and it was a very nice send-off before literally half of all new magic cards are stupid IP tie-ins.

Not writing a big essay about things means you can't write cringe liberalism.

I just wanted to be late to the party after the CPUSA and PSL statements got posted.

Twelve local Jewish organizations declared they will stop funding the Oregon Food Bank over them making a very both-sides "starvation is bad" statement.

Mr Stoltenberg said: "Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO. Ukraine will become a member of NATO. The work we are undertaking now puts you on an irreversible path towards NATO membership, so that when the time is right, Ukraine can become a NATO member straightaway."

There goes the possibility of any country called "Ukraine" existing once this war ends. Russia would be fools to leave them with even Lvov after this.

Anyone remember CrackGate from that one mtg event a few years back?

Also I used to work at a homeless shelter that was located very near a card shop. It's owners would go to the community meetings where we would have to justify to these NIMBYs that we deserve to be there - awful stuff. One meeting, the owners of the card shop made a shitty comment about how smelly the shelter must be, and clearly didn't want us there.

My boss wasn't having it. We ran the cleanest shelter in the whole damn city. I had practically dragged people to the showers when they couldn't keep their hygiene up, and that place was scrubbed floor to roof daily. So boss man gets out of his chair like "I run the cleanest shelter in this city. I have been to your Friday Night Magic events. We are not the ones with a hygiene problem here!"

Don't think it endeared us to the community, but it did shut them up.

Getting real tired of people from nazi collaborator countries telling me that Russia is some eternal existential threat to them.

Learning how many Israelis are first or second generation colonists has really radicalized me on decolonizing Palestine. Around 30% of Israelis are foreign-born. They should go home. Another 30% are second generation - their parents had no right to be there and many still have ties to the old country. They should go home. If most Israelis can't even rightfully claim that even their grandparents lived there, I see no reason to support "Israel's right to exist."

I'm mad. I had at least assumed that most Israelis could be considered "innocent civilians", but no - the majority of them are actively involved in the genocide and colonization of Palestine. Makes me sick.
