it's called Mantoa, texture wise, similar to a rambutan/duku
taste wise, it's tangy and stonefruity

which is funny cause the shell feels like you can chuck it to somebody

[fast marlin]

woah

can you chuck it at somebody

[bronze lintel]

you can, but that'd ruin a good fruit

[fast marlin]

would it

[vocal yoke]

Brah.

[fast marlin]

i can throw it at them and then go eat it

whats stopping me from pinning them against the wall menancingly and then picking it up from behind them huh

i want my homoerotic inducing fruit weapons, dang it

[vocal yoke]

True true.

Same.

[bronze lintel]

[fast marlin]

good fruit

[vocal yoke]

Now draw them having a stable job.

[fast marlin]

[vocal yoke]

fantasy okay?

[bronze lintel]

cause that is considered fiction nowadays

[fast marlin]

but im drawing a reality

i will throw mantoa at someone one day

[fast marlin]

What if I throwed at them and eat them

I bet they don't expect it

[serene tulip]

I did self offense for a while but my therapist didn't like it so she made me stop

[fallow oriole]

I think programming or voice acting for sgg would be incredible which is why I’m studying one in college and one on the side

[mossy trail]

Why can't windows just not update

[serene tulip]

in part, because hackers update very frequently

[feral chasm]

I think discord should have an @ random command that pings someone at random. This would solve no problems and make everything worse, but it would be really funny

[fast marlin]

it would be very funny

[sharp grail]

didn’t they do it for April fools but it didn’t actually ping? Just showed it did

[fast marlin]

ohhh

Probably

[fallow oriole]

Would get a random ping that would just be like “hades 2 out now” and everyone would be here in a seconds notice

[fast marlin]

[signal cloud]

Hi

[latent lodge]

[serene tulip]

Yo, internet cohabitants, how do y'all deal with things you need to do that give you major hand-touching-the-memory-stove feelings?

Sorry to crowdsource therapy but I kinda need a job and every day I put off doing anything about it makes it harder and thinking about doing job search things makes me want to cry.

[limber walrus]

Doing little things, small steps. You're not doing job search, you're

• || sitting down at the computer with some snacks (optional) and water (recommended) ||
• || starting up the computer and opening a web browser ||
• || looking up "job search websites" ||

And so on. Break it down into bite-sized chunks, then take your time to chew each bite

[dry stratus]

If you need help with things dm me! I'm incredibly passionate about job hunting and it helps to know someone that is

I'm about to go job searching again next week (or was it the week after)

One general piece of advice I'll give now is that job hunting whilst sleep deprived sucks because you're more likely to make typos on things and write sentences that don't make sense

[fallow oriole]

I’d also use websites to help like indeed or ask people you know.

[hybrid oyster]

how do i get hades

i got no money

my parents dont let me

[fast marlin]

hi all

i accidentally took my bedtime medicine like an hour ago but then i drank coffee and its 1 pm and i feel like i invented time

is this what people who do drugs feels like and if so, why

[mild pelican]

first time its a mistake
after that they can't quit

[fast marlin]

yeah but like how do people enjoy feeling disassociate-y or that kind of stimulated

its strange to me

[mild pelican]

once i took 1/3 of risperidon instead of 1/4 and then slept for almost 20 hours

my friend almost killed me for almost killing myself

[mild pelican]

people who drink a lot, do this to escape from reality, maybe here is the case as well

but i still don't get it

[fast marlin]

i had t take this anxiety medication before a surgery once and it was horrible

i cant tell if what im feeling rn is the sleep deprivation, the night medicine or the coffee and i do not like it

one good thing is once im done wit h school for the semester ill actually get a chance to rest

[mild pelican]

modern education has all kinds of means to break students' health, isn't it exciting

[fast marlin]

yeahh

[mild pelican]

back in the day i had to learn to sleep while standing and while writing notes

shame that they were intelligible later, but still

[fast marlin]

its not that im staying up all night doing homework or anything, its that i spend all day doing schoolwork and then end up doing the hobbiesor talking to friends at night

idk maybe thats smth i can balance in 2023

im feel too weird to do anything rn and its very annoying

[mild pelican]

is there also a feeling that you're not in the same universe as tomorrow, despite everything being the same visually?

[fast marlin]

i have no idea

i just feel like im gonna pass out honestly

[mild pelican]

as yesterday, i mean

[fast marlin]

oh

kinda yeah

[mossy trail]

The name of the genus of pigs and boars is uhh

Is very funny

Look it up

[fast marlin]

sus

yeah

[mild pelican]

goodness

[mossy trail]

Some romans 2000 years ago: amogus

[fast marlin]

Lmao

its funnier when you put it like that

maybe the hollow knight lofi mix will help me focus

[mossy trail]

On topic of sus

One of the names of wild boars in russian is vepr

And it sounds very cool imo

[fast marlin]

oh?

[mossy trail]

Does anybody also just randomly remember just some word and be like "yeah it sounds cool"

That's how I found out pigs are the sus

I remembered vepr and googled to see if english also has some cool name for them and found the sus

[fast marlin]

boars are the imposters

[mossy trail]

I'm lowkey scared of them ever after watching mononoke

[fast marlin]

i love mononoke

[mild pelican]

back in the day when i still cared about Harry Potter series, i wondered why Hogwarts is called Hogwarts.. like what does it had to do with hogs and stuff

probably it was explained later, but i dropped reading by that point

[feral chasm]

J.k Rowling didn't think about that. Too busy being a bigot

[mild pelican]

also, how did it happened that hedgehogs got their name

and groundhogs

[feral chasm]

I'd guess they look a little like pigs, groundhogs live in the ground and the spikes of a hedgehog look like a hedge

Hedgehogs were once called urchins, which is why sea urchins are named the way they are

[mild pelican]

interesting

also, yeah, people who used to take care of hedgehogs reported that for the creature of their size they're extremely noisy

they huff, they stomp, they scratch whatever they touch

[feral chasm]

There was a belief for awhile that all land animals had a sea counterpart so that's why so many sea creatures are named sea whatever or animalfish

[fast marlin]

Ooohhh

[fast marlin]

oh yeah i feel better now it wore off ig

[dry stratus]

Been trying new things at the gym because I got a new fancy pair of Nikes™️ and I'm learning new things about myself

[fast marlin]

oh? thats very cool

[dry stratus]

• my ability to walk up slopes has definitely decreased but I'm building it up again
• I'm more cardiovascular than I thought I was
• my core. So weak

One of my new goals is getting ready to hike, hence more cardio

[fast marlin]

tbh any signifcant amount of walking has started to make the sole of my foot hurt but hiking is very fun

[dry stratus]

The kind of shoe you wear when you hike is very important

I was gonna get some vivobarefoots but discount codes don't seem to work on their site atm

depending on how fast it dries ill finish sewing it today or tomorrow

[dusty rover]

it is truly amazing just how fast you guys make amazing fanart. it takes me a good month to make so much as a pair of gloves

[serene tulip]

It takes me like, 10 years to be inspired to do an art, much less actually following through with it

[fast marlin]

its a mix of pure inspiration and caffeine

also her dress is crazy simple theres only one shape and one seam

the armor on the other hand scares me

[serene tulip]

it has been a while since I've blacksmithed anything

[fast marlin]

oh?

maybe ill actually learn how to use foam by the time im done with her haha

[serene tulip]

nah, you should take up blacksmithing

[fast marlin]

it does look very fun

[serene tulip]

Man

If I still had regular access to the sheet metal laser cutter I was working with I could bang out half of mel's armor in like, a day

[fast marlin]

wow

Yeah idfk how foam works

[serene tulip]

well you start with some sort of meltable solid and then you stir it up and introduce gas t-oh Making stuff with foam

right

[fast marlin]

Lmao-

i want to hear how to make it now

whats your favorite thing to make while blacksmith..ing

[serene tulip]

I haven't blacksmithed in years because I broke both my wrists

and have arthritis and tendonitis

also because its a hard hobby to have in an apartment

I mostly made hooks for like, coats and stuf

I wasn't very good

[fast marlin]

Id imagine

ive always wanted to learn how to do it but its so much work

[blissful charm]

how's all that caffeine treating you?

[bronze lintel]

conflicting, the matcha part makes me sleepy, but I put espresso in there so it's like

I wanna work hard to sleep

[fast marlin]

isnt that what we’re all working hard towards

[blissful charm]

[fallow oriole]

Bout to slam dunk myself into bed. I did some coding and recorded some demo voice lines and I am out

why did it take the latte so long to do its homework? because it was procaffeinating.

[mild pelican]

that's what you get saving the important things for latter

[bronze lintel]

Can I get a second opinion?

[fast marlin]

okay

he looks very polite and you shouldve let him in faster

[fallow oriole]

Absolutely

[bronze lintel]

that's the thing, I offered him a seat. He just gotta wait for 5 mins.

[serene tulip]

do you have a crush on a barista? because I don't think it's official until you do

[fast marlin]

oh man

okay i gotta work on that

[dry stratus]

It's official when the staff say "same order as usual?"

[fast marlin]

that is what she said yes

[dry stratus]

Congratulations!!! You've made it!

I'll never get that because I always order something different unless matcha is on the menu

[fast marlin]

also editing 33 FPS gif was a mistake

[fast marlin]

i could imagine

[muted smelt]

You broke your cable, now it breaks you

[bronze lintel]

you put it that way as if I don't like being surprised by things

[serene tulip]

there was a magnitude 3.6 earthquake 5 miles north of me last night

I thought nobody used dvds anymore but turns out not just some nostalgic people use them for no reason but companies also use them for no reason selling games and movies on dvds

[zenith olive]

i have a whole shelf full of dvds

[mossy trail]

Internet is definitely one of the most significant for humanity's history inventions ever, we're only starting to see the effects of almost any informations being accessible to everyone

[mossy trail]

But are they old or perhaps you specifically personally enjoy using dvds because they go bzz and slide in and out

[zenith olive]

Mostly older from when I was growing up but I got some newer ones

[mossy trail]

By "thought nobody uses" I meant like no companies or anything like that use them like people still use vhs too

[zenith olive]

Like i bought wolf children on dvd like a month ago

[mossy trail]

We had a huge box of them but my parents threw them out and only saved the photos

There was a lot of music and even some anime and movies like why did they have to throw them out :/

What does black dog symbolize

It appears in cyberpunk 2077(on of samurai songs), harry potter(sirius black), megalo box(symbolizes the mc), a song of russian band DDT - Black Dog Petersburg, Hellsing(symbolizes alucard)

They're all mostly similar except hellsing and harry potter not the whole franchise but only sirius but I can't really figure out in what exact way

Cyberpunk 2077 is cyberpunk, megalo box is also cyberpunk, Petersburg as a city as feeling and it's history and everything is also kinda cyberpunk but without the cyber part but also not really punk

[forest basalt]

i think it just looks cool

[muted smelt]

For hellsing maybe its this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_dog_(folklore)

Fun fact of the day: the hearts card suit is called worms in russian

[blissful charm]

worms, hearts, same thing

i believe, it's from old word that meant "red, scarlet", which makes more sense with the heart and still presents in other slavic languages

how in the world worms and red are connected though, i've never got any idea

i've only heard about communist spiders

[royal relic]

You went to court over jodi?

Oh wait

Wrong channel

That was supposed to be #supergiant-games

[muted smelt]

[half gazelle]

k thanks

[vocal yoke]

what's everyone getting for christmas

im only getting a swiss army knife and a lighter and some fluid hehe

i take pleasure from minimal presents

[royal relic]

Headaches and overpriced train tickets, both ways

Got them for myself too cause no one else would

[sharp oyster]

Relevant because Supergiant but also a reminder for people who need some chill white noise and also something seasonal on a screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy8GU_19V4E

[royal relic]

It’s not the same without grumpy dad going all “absurd! Denied.” at regular intervals

[floral hollow]

i hope he grants at least 1 shade their wish

[fast marlin]

today im gonna get started on the armor parts of mel

im saying it here so it keeps me accountable lmfao

wait i gotta order an exacto

[dry stratus]

Weird question but do you have a carving knife?

[vocal yoke]

Nope

Why?

[fast marlin]

i dont celebrate christmas, but i did get a selection of things hanukkah so far

[mossy trail]

I congratulate everyone with yule

[dry stratus]

Been seeing a lot of them at an occult store I visit

There's carving knives, carving knife projects like a wooden horse doll project etc

It's very interesting

[vocal yoke]

Never got into it

The most I did that counts as carving was making a hollowed out tree piece for my scouts scarf to hold it in place

cant rlly explain lol

God I miss being 15 and in the scouts

[dry stratus]

It's not a craft I'd get into but I have mad respect for people who can do it

It doesn't look like the easiest thing to do

Also small update to the academic excellence thing: I'm just getting a letter in my mail for my performance last semester

[fast marlin]

it’s 3 pm this isn’t working…

[bronze lintel]

[fast marlin]

i dont have some of the stuff but like i can still get started i just dont want to

[fast marlin]

oh btw while youre here i had a coffee related question for you

what makes a latte art design like harder or easier relatively

[bronze lintel]

In the more advanced latte art patterns, it's basically just basic patterns but mish-mashed into a drawing. So generally speaking harder latte art has more of those mini patterns to make one drawing.

Other major factor is one technique called etching, which is... etching the foam on the cup. Basically use the milk pitcher as a pen. It's hard because etching NEEDS you to be on the last LAST milk and foam in your milk jug. If you have too much milk, the milk will fall and won't float on top. If you have too little milk, the foam made won't contrast very well with the background. On top of that, if you steamed your milk even remotely bubbly in the first place, say goodbye to etching cause it'd be horrible

[fast marlin]

thank you! This is really fascinating

Perhaps i add latte art to my skills-to-learn list in 2023

[fast marlin]

i think im actually starting to get foam!

[fallow oriole]

That’s so epic!

[fast marlin]

Didn't know my queering of NYE would garner so much interest in the chat

[bronze lintel]

it's fun to hear other's plans

it's hard to type vvith gloves on lmao

[fast marlin]

my new years will probably be at home

unless my friend invites me to something

[serene urchin]

does anyone know if hades will be going on sale for xbox?

[bronze lintel]

Y'all I roasted some coffee from ethiophia. Mom had guests that aren't into coffee so I thought to try the coffee with them. This is my first time I roasted coffees outside of Indo cause they're generally expensive.

...and they finished the coffee

Well I didn't expect that

[dry stratus]

Dang, nice!

It's always interesting to see where my coffee is sourced from

https://venezianocoffee.com.au/collections/best-selling/products/festive-blend

Timor Leste, Columbia and Brazil for this one. They're selling bags of it in our home town

[bronze lintel]

Funnily enough, I'm near Timor Leste and I don't see them in the market lmao

[dry stratus]

Fascinating

The coffee being sold at my old home town is from Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea

Not linking because it's a little close to home literally

[bronze lintel]

Papua is great, though personally I hate roasting them

But the taste that can come out is great

[dry stratus]

You are giving me ideas

[fast marlin]

kona coffee iis most common here

for obvious reasons..

[bronze lintel]

obviously

Wonder if I can visit their farm

I'm pretty much the strongest I've ever been

but every time I have to open a jar of something, there's a brief moment of, "Is this going to be the time I fail to open a jar?"

[bronze lintel]

that's why I always have a fork with me every time I wanna open a jar

[mossy trail]

I use a knife usually

Also it's so hard to open a tin can with a knife when it doesn't have the pin opening thing on it

Why do some just don't have it

[muted smelt]

It's a clever design intended to reinforce self control. Think of what cookie jars could do to people

[tough pine]

replace reinforce self control with piss people off and its a true statement

[muted smelt]

[mossy trail]

I just make 20 holes on the cap edges and try to connect them by brute force there's some better technique but I can't do k

Or do you mean by self control having patience to open it

[muted smelt]

Could press into the cap with a spoon. Little elbow grease and it'll make holes. Safer to teach to kids

[muted smelt]

Im joking about it makes it harder for people to overindulge

[mossy trail]

imagine a fridge that only gives you food for push ups

[mossy trail]

Wdym it's not thin enough to pierce with a spoon

[muted smelt]

Maybe i can find a vid

[bronze lintel]

Turn it off, take the food out and turn it on again

[muted smelt]

[bronze lintel]

ikr

y so easy

[muted smelt]

Your spoons are too low level

[bronze lintel]

but they're Dragon from IKEA

Personally i use knife myself. A bit quicker

This pointy part near the grip

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/512790960816783363/1056131333388243004/rn_image_picker_lib_temp_8e15fc23-f923-4dbe-a0d2-e27bf0401710.jpg

Can press into the knife with my palm, little chance of slipping

[mossy trail]

I grasp the knife firmly and simultaneously press on the can so neither would bulge with my left hand and use my right hand's palm as a hammer

[royal relic]

wait

you guys peel your cans?

i eat mine with the peel

it's good

[muted smelt]

I dont like the taste

[royal relic]

I paid for the whole can of soup so I’m gonna eat the whole can of soup

[lime relic]

Big brain play is just eat the can and nothing else

[mild pelican]

I'd be careful with piercing cans with a knife, sometimes a knife can break

here where i live, almost every family has this thing somewhere, even if it's older than the house itself

half my present arrived

my victorinox knife will arrive on the 28th WAAAAAHHH

[serene tulip]

which victorinox did you get?

[vocal yoke]

Huntsman :3

I had a Hiker before but kinda lost it

[serene tulip]

I had the trekker for the longest time

Were I to get a new one I'd probably go with Ranger 178 MW grip

My ideal knife would be one handed open, locking, serrated back half of blade, glass breaker, bottle opener, and also small enough that I don't notice it too much in my pocket while also having no pointy bits that destroy my pants when closed

After I had the Trekker I went with a Kershaw Funxion EMT but its massive and its glass breaker was destructive

I haven't had a knife in a while tho

What do you guys think of AI art

[fast marlin]

wow thats a heated topic for 12:30 pm on christmas 😔

[rigid smelt]

Hades

[dry stratus]

The only opinion I'll voice for now is that it is very scary to see that AI can now make sketches of art as fake progress

[fast marlin]

ai is very scary tbh

[mild pelican]

as a technician, i find the very idea of a machine doing something remotely similar to a real human work, very awesome

but something tells me, that concept artists are pretty much screwed now

regular artists - not so much, despite all the panic

AI art has many flaws, when you look closely, and that's not only fingers

i see the best application of those like that: a commissioner makes a picture of something desired and sends it to the artist to shorten the process of describing what do they want

[dusty rover]

definitely shouldn’t replace more conventionally made art! read some news a few days back about a publisher using ai art for a sci-fi book cover and it just seemed wrong (not so much the art itself as much as the publishing industry opting for ai)

[serene tulip]

What's the proper etiquette for writing a thank you note for premium access™️ to an app that almost certainly exists just to mine your data?

[muted smelt]

Be genuine

[bronze lintel]

"Thank you for the premium access! You have no idea how much this means to me. The divorce is quite rough, she took the kids and even the dog. Can you imagine how petty you'd have to be to take someone's dog? She even refused the idea of me taking our boy on weekends. Boy needs his old man, gotta teach him some stuff.

I don't wanna be too rant-y, so I'll stop there. All I'm saying is my life's falling apart, but at the very least your app can be that one tiny light of my life. Thank you and Happy Holiday :)"

[royal relic]

No

It’s always cuddle the dog time

[fast marlin]

but i need to sleep..

[restive sky]

no, you need to cuddle your dog

Prioritize

[mossy trail]

It's not art it's just thousands of stolen works rebuilt in a png

[pure patio]

On one hand, I'm bad at drawing and I don't have money
On the other hand, the toaster that I call a pc can't even run the programs that do that stuff
All in all, I kinda don't care about it

[rigid smelt]

What do y’all want to see change or added in haydeez 2

[mild pelican]

why not both

back in the day we used to sleep with Cayde on one sofa back to back

i've tried to tell him when he was younger, that sofa is not a place for a huge dog to be, but he was too persistent

[weary glade]

super late to this one but i think ai art itself isnt good at all since its just a bunch of stolen art from other creators but there would be some value in using ai tools assist artists

like that relight thing from a while ago was super useful while people used it but there really needs to be more strict rules on sharing and using the data gained from those programs

[rigid smelt]

All art is technically stolen

Just a bunch of circles squares lines and colors that belong to no one and made in a specific sequence

[weary glade]

i mean. i guess you could put it like that but unless someone is making a line-for-line copy of someone else's work itd be more along the lines of inspiration

[rigid smelt]

All art is inspired from other art too basically. AI can make novel things that’s never been imagined before just like a human but it can’t really assess like the artistic or emotional effect

I think AI is really cool for interior design though but not great for art

I’ve seen ppl do ai to their room and it made layouts that I never would’ve thought of and makes a lot of sense

[weary glade]

yeahyeah

generally i think ai could help with a lot of things like that but it needs to have some regulations put on it first

[rigid smelt]

It shouldn’t be part of the execution of a piece I don’t think but it’s nice to just get inspiration or new ideas from it. But actually use it as like part of your work is lame

I like pixel art a lot cuz ai I don’t think can really do it properly. Cuz it has to be done manually just as when you make a mosaic or something

[rugged perch]

if they make AI tools not use datasets composed of stolen artworks, it could be quite useful

before that it's robbing artists quite a lot

[rugged perch]

interesting what layouts it made that were so unfamiliar

design often has principles grounded not only in aesthetics but also in usability, accessibility and safety

so if those interiors were unusual, there might be a practical reason for them to not be common

[zenith olive]

Ai art is stupid

[rigid smelt]

The thing is I’ve seen AI used in interior design that made not only interesting aesthetics but also quite functional. Perhaps just by chance

But I think the reason is AI can generate things in new ways that ppl might not ever consider and sometimes can lead to brilliant solutions

For art I say it’s a lot less effective cuz art is more purely about aesthetics than function and things like that

[mild pelican]

but it would be hard to see, say, Lord of the Rings made by studio Ghibli without either usage of AI or without paying small (or not small) fortunes to actual artists of studio Ghibli who is still alive and working

as i always say, problem is not in robots, it's in humans

i see no probelm in machines making something similar to other artists' looks and styles

i see problem in people who can't do sh..tuff right, somehow managed to make/find a right query for the app, and then post it among other artists' works with something like "HEY LOOK I'VE MADE ART"

or worse, demand money for that

you did nothing, dude, machine done all the work

and you have neither the rights to claim it as your own, nor a reason to be proud

AI art for now is just a toy. maybe it'll become a tool.

but i don't believe actual artists will ever suffer from that, if the scammers would be treated properly

[muted smelt]

The market will probably change. Production companies will soon turn to AI artists because they can output faster and in large amounts, and likely charge less. Kinda like the industrial revolution, it leads to new innovation and tech, but a lot of people had their trade and skills lose value.

[rigid smelt]

Off topic but the hades art style is too much sometimes

More isn’t always better and sometimes they try to cram too many little details and stuff and over saturated colors, it can feel like everything blends together sometimes

[serene tulip]

Jen Zee is a Treasure, also this isn't really the space for that sort of feedback?

[rigid smelt]

[dry stratus]

[dry stratus]

my favourite art tends to come from tattoos and street art u_u

[serene tulip]

street art is definitely one of my faves

[dry stratus]

i also found a tattoo artist that did a dope nyx that i need to re-share

[serene tulip]

just some human going, "You know what this needs? more art"

[blissful charm]

street art is extremely cool

[dry stratus]

and it usually goes hard too! ironically there's a street artist i follow who now does great tattoos

they truly go hand in hand

[blissful charm]

in berlin there is/was (idk if they closed it down) a space in teuffelsberg where street artist could do as much art as they wanted legally, there was some very cool stuff

[serene tulip]

honestly if I were a property owner I'd definitely have a wall with "tag this up as much as you want" and then take progressive photos of it every day or whatever and put it up on the website"

[dry stratus]

aww man if i could afford the berlin to amsterdam pride trip i'd love to visit it...

Hi!

belated hello

[dry stratus]

i don't know who needs to hear this, but affogatos are a great way to wake up

[fast marlin]

okay i had to google that to remember what that was (im not fully woken up) and that does sound like an excellent way to achieve that

[dry stratus]

part of it is because there's some evidence to show that ice-cream is a food that effectively wakes people up. probably because of its coldness + sugar content

[half gazelle]

The hades spin off everyone wants odin

The norse mythos spin off of hades

[fast marlin]

theres a gelato place by the coffee shop i do my work at that makes affogatos so i will be looking at that today

It's very US/CA dominant, which I expected. Kinda like a text version of that queer encounters map

[bronze lintel]

folks, there are quail eggs in my curry

today is a good day

[muted smelt]

How did they get there

[bronze lintel]

a horde of quails handed me for safe keeping. I was hungry. I shall meet their judgement soon, but I regret nothing.

[muted smelt]

They will deem you

Disquailified

[fast marlin]

I definitely need more queer friends here

[serene tulip]

-_-

[fast marlin]

I want a quail

[dry stratus]

Their barks are really cute

[fast marlin]

they BARK?

[dry stratus]

They produce eggs like crazy too. They're a poultry bird I recommend

Yep!! They bark rlly loud at times. It's like their own version of a crow

[fast marlin]

omg

[serene tulip]

[muted smelt]

If i had quails and theyre annoying the neighbours, i would cover for them by blaring loud music all day

[dry stratus]

I simply wouldn't cover for them 🫣

[lucid marlin]

Claustrophobic people are okay with their brains being trapped in their skulls

[harsh stump]

woahb

[lucid marlin]

How do claustrophobic people not feel uncomfortable having their body cramping their organs and are okay with their brains being trapped in their skulls?

Do claustrophobic people feel remorse for the bread in the toaster? Or the milk in the door in the fridge?

Do we percieve evrerything as claustrophobic?

[fast marlin]

i think youre the only one perceiving everything was claustrophobic haha

[muted smelt]

Well phobias are irrational so

[serene tulip]

Fear and anxiety are at their core survival mechanisms. They've perhaps gone a bit haywire, over/under sensitive, whatever, but when it comes to a survival mechanism it turns out that keeping your brain in your body is key, so people are much more afraid of spaces too confined for their bodies than their brains.

also morning

[bleak wagon]

Just came to say the fangamer Hades t-shirts are awesome. I got the Charon design for Christmas and it's great, plus the sticker is adorable! 11/10 would recommend

[proud flicker]

this is the off topic section :D

[bitter junco]

Oh hey, thanks :D I didn't wanna disturb the discussions there but makes sense 😁

[rigid smelt]

If I see one more ad for Jackpot world I’m gonna lose it

[proud flicker]

It's more than okay to say hi haha. Btw, Happy Holidays, fren.

[bronze lintel]

There was a kid that dipped his fry onto his iced latte

[floral hollow]

[muted smelt]

Thank him for new menu inspiration

[serene tulip]

Wendy's frosties is just a sauce for their fries

[bronze lintel]

Kid also said he wants a strawberry ice cream on top of his fries...

Not joking

He actually said it to his parents

[muted smelt]

Lots of inspiration today!

[jagged grove]

[dry stratus]

It was good! I bailed early because... I felt like it

I'm not the best at socialising lmfao but I love people so it's a real struggle

[bronze storm]

If there was a vc on this server I feel like lots of people will join it when the new year countdown starts and then just shout TEN NINE EIGHT SEVEN SIX FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE ZERO

Lol

[rugged perch]

well, probably every couple of hours realistically

[gusty lava]

[gusty lava]

Cute :0

[mossy trail]

I am convinced sentience comes with simply enough complexity

So we should not make single ai more complex than human if we plan to use it if it's sentient and we use it it's immoral

[serene tulip]

Did you ever get around to reading Sophie's World?

[mossy trail]

No I haven't read anything out of my book list unfortunately

[serene tulip]

Am I correct in remembering that you're not quite in college yet? Do you plan to study philosophy, perhaps as a minor?

[mossy trail]

Yes I'm not in college I perhaps plan to study philosophy it interests me greatly but as we live in an inconvient economic system I must also take earning money into account and idk how can I make money my only idea is IT since it's easy interesting and pays well but I would enjoy philosophy more

Alas, depression, myself am quite unsure of my future and not at all moving towards it

[bitter junco]

Combine philosophy and coding. You learn a lot of logic in a philosophy curriculum so this will work greatly together

[bitter junco]

awwww, I love Sophie's World! It's what got me into philosophy

[mossy trail]

Well they are indeed not very different

[bitter junco]

Yes, they aren't. But honestly, philosophy works well with basically everything. And personally I think that it is definitely possible to earn money with it, even if I'm currently stuck in a phd position

[mossy trail]

Philosophy works well with basically everything because philosophy, science, logic, are not some niche things like chemistry or politics or carpentry but they are core ways of understanding

[bitter junco]

yeah, exactly

philosophy to me is the most fundamental science there is

[bronze storm]

i have a parrot too

[serene tulip]

I took a class in college that was essentially just, "How philosophy, art, and science are running headfirst into oblivion holding each other's hands" and that's what got me into philosophy but Sophie's world was a good read and corroborated a lot of what was said in the class 😄

[rugged perch]

chemistry and politics listed as niche

[serene tulip]

Everything is niche if you look into it hard enough 😄

[fast marlin]

Idk man the sun is pretty niche

[serene tulip]

https://xkcd.com/1851/

xkcd: Magnetohydrodynamics

Magnetohydrodynamics combines the intuitive nature of Maxwell's equations with the easy solvability of the Navier-Stokes equations. It's so straightforward physicists add "relativistic" or "quantum" just to keep it from getting boring.

[muted smelt]

Our sun is not that big compared to other stars. So niche

[serene tulip]

Its supposed to rain until 6PM today

this is untenable

it might even be unelevenable

[blissful charm]

hopefully it doesn't go past that and you get a rain-free nye

[serene tulip]

I don't have NYE plans atm

I just want to go to the grocery store without getting wet

[fast marlin]

apparently the party im maybe going to is a potluck so i might bake smth idk

[serene tulip]

That is unless someone wants to invite me to something bay area ish, eh SGG?

[muted smelt]

Invite you to anome groupwatch

[serene tulip]

what sort of anemones are we talkin'?

HAPPY NEW YEAR ERRYBODY

[blissful charm]

happy new year!

[smoky crane]

happy new year

[mossy trail]

Wish you all enjoyable philosophical discussions to be had in the new year 🙏

[serene tulip]

I kinda want to write a story set in a world where there's an absolute heirarchy based on a cryptographic hash function and you can basically sign orders with your hash and people can evaluate the importance of the orders based on comparing their hash and their other signed orders with your signed order etc but I don't want to accidentally give tech bros the idea of the torment nexus

[muted smelt]

Sounds like social credit

So you were behind that!

[mossy trail]

Do NOT chew cinnamon

It is very concentrated

[smoky crane]

that was so random

[mossy trail]

I tried to chew cinnamon 😔

[muted smelt]

Chew cinnabon instead

[smoky crane]

you ate it raw????

like without any other foods????

[mossy trail]

Yeah

[muted smelt]

Its good to try new things

[mossy trail]

Well it was in glintvein so it was softer but yeah raw

[mossy trail]

It tasted like cinnamon

Like a kilogram of it simultaneously

Spicy

[muted smelt]

Maybe the star anise is better. Try that

For science

[worn socket]

happy birthday of the year guys

https://tenor.com/view/happy-birthday-gif-25066162

[smoky crane]

damn

[mossy trail]

Ok bet

Oh yeah it's cool

It's like dill but stronger

More menthol tasting

[muted smelt]

Oh i hate it when i bit into one

[blissful charm]

i chewed on dry cinnamon sticks when i was trying to quit smoking a really long time ago. it seemed pretty alright. maybe the wetness brings out the flavor.

[peak cipher]

Happy new year

[polar delta]

Happy new year!

[mossy trail]

Oh it really does, the dry ones taste like wood that's all
