I almost forgot to include that suggestion

A morph?

fallow gazelle
#

I would show a picture but picts arent allowed in here

#

Zeki is Silver from Treasure Planet and I wont be dissuaded otherwise

#

Silver had Morph

#

Zeki needs something like a morph too

#

i posted a picture here of morph

ooohh. I barely remember that movie but I remember loving morph

#

You need to watch it again

#

highly recommend

#

There is so much you miss as a kid watching it

#

Its amazing all the adult jokes that fly over head as a kid. I watch kid movies that i loved as a kid and its amazing the jokes you get out of them that you missed before

#

man this month was an endeavor, with what I thought would be an easy kitchen remodel turning into the biggest mess of a lifetime

#

like having to play contractor roulette, to find people to redo electricity and the walls, and then getting ghosted later by the same electrician when we needed him to redo a small thing (he already agreed to come), because he went on vacation

#

finally its done though, just finished painting half an hour ago, and all that's left is to bring in the carpenter for measurements and order new appliances

exotic nova
#

I feel ya. Our laundry has been in a state of half built for the last month and a half

exotic nexus
#

yeah that was our kitchen

#

maybe I'll have one of the now painted room after the less ghostly electrician comes tomorrow

#

though its not much right now xD, just black walls and painter's foil all over the floor

I'm OK! Moving house again (hopefully) next week so repacking all my stuff. Stress 😂

Moving is horrible D:

Agreed. 😦

Unless you can afford to pay a good moving company to do literally all the work.

#

I'd love a bit bigger apartment tho. This one is great but I need more space for my art stuff.

I've only moved twice, and those two times were stressful enough for me to wish to do it as few of times as possible.

I've moved five times in the last six years.

Friends, I went out and was social in order to recharge my extrovert battery. It was a good time

There’s an extrovert here?!?

I suppose not

There’s more to the world than just my room?

thorny trail
#

I like being social now and then, but not everyone likes being social, so I ended up talking to people who tend to just want to mind their own business or go home. Now I just keep to myself and be social when the situation arises, but I don't go out my way for it haha.

Morning. 🥱

It’s night time for me…

upper marlin
#

7.10 am here.

#

I was just thinking about coloring my hair blue. 😂😂

fickle lava
#

I cant decide to cut my hair or not

#

Do the blue, blue is great

upper marlin
#

Idk if I should do it or keep it blond. Atm I look like a smart adult that I should be. 😅

fickle lava
#

I recently gave myself bangs (fringe as the EU calls it) and cant decide if the rest of my hair should go too, but it's shoulder length atm

#

Pssh pssssssssssssh do what makes you happy

dull basalt
#

Wigs. All the fun. No commitment.

upper marlin
#

But I spend my days surrounded by teens. So the smart part is not so important.

fickle lava
#

Ugh wigs and long thick hair is not fun, makes me head hot

dull basalt
#

I always wanted to go blue, but I can't. chuusad

fickle lava
#

Maybe Ill go blonde! Wee goes Blue. Offal can be red

calm canyon
#

I want to dye my tips purple…but I don’t know if my parents will allow it…

dull basalt
#

Red I can do. Gingers can't go blue unfortunately.

fickle lava
#

I dont think I have the skintone to be blonde tbh

#

I have dark dark brown hair with natural red highlights and brown eyes

dull basalt
#

You would have to go through a lot to get it blonde.

#

But there is a blonde for every skin tone, for the record. happychuu

calm canyon
#

I like my brown hair but highlights would be cool, if you find the right color

slate cave
#

blonde would look super weird on me

young palm
#

I'm the devil. My wife has some songs that get stuck in her head easily...

fickle lava
#

mmm likely a honey blonde

young palm
#

3 examples: Pep Rally by ... Uh. Someone. Into the Thick of It! And that Bezos song.

So I just said "Jeffery Bezos is holding a pep rally in the thick of it."

Haven't been outside of my apartment in days

I know the feeling. I’m actually getting to my breaking point lately. It’s been over a year now, you know?

#

Oh we aren't in lockdown, I have agoraphobia.

scenic stratus
#

Oh!!! Well I hope you’re okay after your outing!

kind frost
#

Yeah it's fine, I need to get outside more to make it easier but it drains all my energy. So I'm juggling between exhaustion and isolation.

scenic stratus
#

A fine line, I’m sure!

dull basalt
# upper marlin So no hair or why?

No, I have more hair than I know what to do with! But I've been to 4 shops, and they basically told me there's no way to get the red out of ginger hair, and they weren't going to fry my hair trying.
When I bleach it, the lightest it gets is strawberry blonde, despite my experimenting with cut offs.
The sickly seaweed colour they ended up with on my best attempt was not something I wanted on my noggin.

kind frost
#

Blue is the such a strong pigment strawberry blonde shouldn't be a problem.

#

Getting rid of the blue is more tricky.

wicked cypress
#

Could try purple, should be easier to integrate

#

@drowsy mason but yeah, I suppose I get where you're coming from. it just sucks that your ancestors and the people in your country have carved out something nice, and then people like you tend to lay great weight on the bad things instead of the really good

#

also, life is terrible from a baseline too so i don't fault you for being critical. we just have to cope with that i guess

#

that sucks i guess

drowsy mason
#

Yeah. I'm sorry you have an emotional investment in me feeling good about my ancestors, and I'm sorry I can't give you that reward. [This isn't sarcasm; I'm being legit]. You're great, and I am sorry about bringing you down. I didn't mean to start this weird conversation with my weird jokes.

Hi hi

#

Long car rides are not my thing

slate cave
#

:(

#

I don't think I've been on many long car rides before

#

Although it's technically possible to drive across the country... but you can't cut straight across or you'll die so you have to go around the edges
i hear its a popular road trip

kind frost
#

I rarely travel anywhere and I get easily nauseous in cars.

#

And I'm too anxious to drive myself.

slate cave
#

:(

#

I only get nauseous if I look at my phone or something so long car rides are a game of "would I rather be bored or sick"

kind frost
#

I need to distract myself with something, I think my nausea is partly just anxiety about being in a car.

#

Can't read a book tho.

#

Trains are more comfortable.

slate cave
#

i like trains more as well

#

the announcer saying where you are is nice

kind frost
#

It is. And you can move around and it's more steady.

slate cave

#

Planes are the worst.

slate cave
#

I haven't been on a plane in a loooong time so I don't really remember

#

I hate buses the most

kind frost
#

Depends on the bus. If it's full of people it's awful.

slate cave
#

the lack of anyone to tell me when to get off the bus makes me anxious as hell

kind frost
#

Yeah that's not fun. I usually only use them to go to my parents place so I know well where to get off.

#

But the long distance buses here are horrible, they drive way too fast.

vague isle
#

Buses are extremely noisy where I am, the whole thing rattles so even when it's empty it's a nightmare

kind frost
#

One bus I used to use alot kept this weird noise.. sounded like it drove over a pigeon.

vague isle
#

Was it a bendy bus? the middle part of those sometimes screech horribly

kind frost
#

Oh no we don't have those at all. They're scary.

#

It was just an old bus, I got weirdly attached to it. Good old pigeon bus.

slate cave
#

btw unrelated but i managed to find a reverb vst for my stream wahoo

kind frost
#

Well done!

slate cave
#

kind frost
#

I only have a sketchbook and some pencils with me but I could try to join this weeks drawing challenge anyway. It doesn't need to always be so fancy right?

slate cave
#

yeah you can still join!

vague isle
#

Not at all, my past entries have all been MS Paint and with a mouse

slate cave
#

we get all sorts of mediums

#

some people even crochet or stuff i think

#

i think one person made an einar plush

kind frost
#

I love to see so many mediums used! I'm just a perfectionist and a plain sketch feels like "not enough".

vague isle
#

Nah I've always put in minimal effort as a rule, I spend the rest of my time stressing about every drawing/painting so the challenge is my time to be relaxed

kind frost
#

That's a good way of thinking, I should try that.

#

I'm not that good at being relaxed.

vague isle
#

Same lol, though I've gotten better through practise

kind frost
#

I've tried to practise it too

#

I just easily think that my value depends on how good my art is.

vague isle
#

Oh yeah I can understand that totally, I'm trying to make art my main career so every painting needs to be my best

#

But art can be valuable if it's relaxing to do, or makes you and others laugh at how bad it is even, there's lots of ways to value it

kind frost
#

Yeah I'm trying to make a career out of it too. I just need to believe in myself more.

#

Art is so valuable just because I enjoy it, and can express myself through it, but it's hard to think about it that way.

slate cave
#

art is hard
the only thing im good at is singing which is like... trying to draw but only knowing how to draw squares

vague isle
#

Thats cool ^^ Do you know what you're going for yet? Illustration, design etc?
Yeah career makes it really tough to see past the need to make a drawing super good, I keep trying to remember to have chill sketch sessions but life gets in the way

upper marlin
#

Life coals. 😂

kind frost
#

Oh I'm not sure yet. Watercolors are my favorite medium tho.
I don't even know if I'll ever be able to work full time, but my best chance might be with art.

vague isle
#

So long as I can work from home I know I'm okay, a lot of my exhaustion working in an office comes from overstimulation and forced socialising

I'm still not ready for the series to end. This arc is the final arc. Still means we got a few years BUT STILL

mortal falcon
#

On the one hand, learning that something you enjoy is coming to an end can be sad. But, we've also seen what can happen if something goes on too long (looking at you Naruto/Bleach.)

young palm
#

Bleach's is even worse when you find out why.

#

When the it was SUPPOSED to end, he was forced to keep making more...

#

But when he FINALLY started to like was he was making, they started to pressure him to end it. He resisted. So they gave him a final chapter date...

mortal falcon
#

Ugh, that bites

young palm
#

Yep. He actually was TRYING to get cancelled during that first post-Aizen ark.

That's actually very interesting, but makes sense once I think back

austere lance
#

That not something I want to shove my hand in but i feel I need at least to say that: whatever happened, we probably don't know half of it, that why there's an investigation. Whatever peoples think about her excuses, it's in the end an opinion and shouldn't have an impact on what you think happened.

Singularity 6 is doing the best for her and the potential victims by doing an investigation that, at least I hope, will go deeper that someone on twitter heard from someone. I will trust the company to handle this. Until then, while it might be satisfying, being riled up or talking about what she wrote or did is not going to help a lot.

Honma Himawari’s viewers suddenly congratulate her on a new baby, and she returns a cheerful thank you in response. Kuzuha and Yashiro Kizuku reel backwards in surprise to this unexpected situation. With the two groups just one step behind the other, comedy gold is about to unfold.

@scenic stratus Pulling convo to here for our duck overlords sanity, What is stopping you from taking a swim?

scenic stratus
#

Ah, you are wise Smigs!
It’s the virus. My wife was pregnant and I couldn’t risk catching it and giving it to her. A fever would be the worst thing. Now that the kiddos here though, they’re unlikely to get sick, but now there’s two more variants of the virus.

TLDR: tourism/virus

#

We do have a “secret” beach that we like cuz there’s almost never anyone there. It’s pretty rocky just past the shore and there’s no amenities nearby, but it’s still hard to go out.

teal bolt
#

It's what I expected but still sad to hear it, At least you are being safe. That's so incredibly cool though, I used to be incredibly into swimming and free diving but living in the midwest of the U.S kinda restricted me lol. I've visited Hawaii in the past, but never had a chance to get past the tourism traps and I was super mad about it.

scenic stratus
#

Swimming is life!!
Yeah, traveling Hawaii is kinda complex, it’s hard to get outside the tourism bubble. I’ve tried not to step into it, haha! I am super sad about the Japanese Walk in Alo Moana though, I’m worried it won’t be opening back up.

teal bolt
#

lets hope(I say as I just look this up), Covid rates are rocketing but only in areas with out vaccines. My guess tho is anything in hawaii is so profit heavy no company would shut it down if they can help it.

Does hawai have a lot of anti-vaxxers? over where I live everyother person refuses to wear a mask and take a shot

scenic stratus
#

Oh gosh, thats terrible. I’m sorry you’re surrounded by scary people..
As far as I’ve seen most everyone is at least wearing a mask, I don’t know about vax rates though (suppose I could look it up but I’d rather not psych myself out more).
I used to track the number of daily cases but when the island opened back up and the cases started creeping higher I stoped. And yeah, they could only close the island off for so long until the lack of tourism started to hurt everyone. It’s a bad situation.

plush oracle
#

Everyone is an anti-vaxxer where I live. I'm very glad to still be working from home and have online classes right now. (My university has at least mandated mask wearing on campus though whether a person is vaccinated or not.)

teal bolt
#

It always has been, and smart move not physching your self out, Hopefully tho this should be the last spike as now it is just dumbo's getting it and we only need herd immunity from about 30% of the population as the other part have vaccine juice.

But hey at least we have the internet can ya'll imagie doing this pandemic without the ability to interact online???

scenic stratus
#

Hey Maythorn, glad you lucked out with work and school from home!!

Oh my gosh Smig, I’d have lost my mind by now. Honestly, the whole reason I found Palia is because I was trying to find an MMO so I wouldn’t be so lonely. I was really going stir-crazy.

teal bolt
#

I guess at this point how many people here are not just looking for a game but a way to get over the pandemic and even rely on the server, I'm worried it won't match up to the massive expectations this server has for it but either if it flops by the time it releases I imagine 1000's of new cults will be made and so much more worth than the devs expected will have come out from this server

slate cave
#

i dont know if this is okay to ask so you dont need to answer if you dont want to, but i'm wondering how your wife got pregnant? sperm donation?

scenic stratus
#

I hope the devs are happy with all of this! I think most of us are here for and happy with the community! The game should just be a wonderful conduit to continue hanging out and making new friends! And since it’s and MMO it’ll likely keep evolving as needed!

And yes! Though a sperm bank online and working with a hospital! It costs a whole lot to make a baby the science way, but they’re worth it! We got to the point where we sat down and realized we didn’t want to go the rest of our lives without kiddos, took a good long time to think about it too, till we couldn’t image a future without this little wiggly butt.

oooh

how wiggly are they

scenic stratus

SO WIGGLY! I run the night shift to watch over the kiddo (cuz fresh new babies are SCARY, like what if she just stops breathing?

As soon you realize that he might hurt you it's the right time to brake up

scenic stratus
#

Oh Rin, that’s a hard one! I’m so sorry your luck has been that terrible.

I met my wife on a lunch break, and honestly I had just gotten out of a monster of a terrible relationship. All my relationships had been terrible to be completely honest with you. We kinda instantly found out we were the same type of weird and wanted to be friends. But I was about to move back to my parents to start over after that terrible relationship. Days before my flight she asked me to be her roommate… and I already had plane tickets!! ….. so I flew all the way back! Honestly we were just friends and roommates for the longest time (“and they were roommates!?”)
So my advice, my real, honest advice, is to not go looking for a relationship. Build friendships and excellent communication. The world is terrifying, and meeting people online has never worked for me because it’s so hard to find genuine people…

slate cave

oh my god they were roommates

Then when walking through the temple district a kid ran up claiming I was his father,with his mother behind him.

Ye! It's hilarious, though a heads up it does have its "moments" here and there, though from my understanding with Konosuba, every even episode they wrote the anime normally, but for every odd numbered episode, they had ecchi artists and people help work on it lol. But all the same it's one of my favorites, and the moments isn't too intrusive to where it distracts from enjoying the anime too. Let me know how you like it!

And iirc they even announced a new Konosuba animation project that may or may not be a season 3.

@craggy oxide Moving down here. lol

craggy oxide
#

fair, consider my reply in the other channel

young palm
#

There's a more recent warp theory that was published last year that's ACTUALLY viable within 100 years but reliant on us actually figuring out fusion power. Which we're close on that after they flipped the D and it was all "Oh. We did this wrong for so long. BACK TO 1 BUT WE CAN PROGRESS!"

#

But the other problem is still radiation.

#

It's partly why we haven't just sent someone to Mars. We have TECHNICALLY been able to for a long time. But as soon as we start getting past the moon, no more free radiation shield.

craggy oxide
#

I don't know what that means, but I watched a video a few months ago that outlined a model that worked if we used Negative Energy (which isn't possible), and then another a little while later that worked out those same equations that wouldn't require Negative Energy if nuclear fusion were possible.

young palm
#

Yeah. That first warp theory we had was more like the "coaxial warp" in Voyager, where it folds space to move the vessel.

#

But yeah, it's the more recent one I'm excited for. We COULD in theory power it with just normal nuclear power we have no, but the vessel would be all reactor/engine.

craggy oxide
craggy oxide
#

and like, I honestly don't care about what might be possible a hundred years from now, I'm interested in what we'll be capable of in our lifetime

young palm
#

Well it's possible our lifetime sees semi-immortality becoming possible. 😄

#

Also there's been no major jumped in normal nuclear power because people are scared of it when all major incidents have been preventable. Like "Don't build a reactor there. It will cause a disaster" so Japan builds it there... 😦

austere lance
#

good morning off-topic btw!

young palm
#

But there is a major difference between "Oops I drove a forklift into that and spilled chemicals" to "Hey. Every agency on the planet that knows nuclear says DON'T DO THAT so you did it." In terms of reactors built to reactors having failures, it's still a major success. 😄

#

But people also think the Large Hadron Collider will end the universe.

UBlock is great, but they have a hard time keeping up w/ Chrome updates. Any time Chrome has a major update, UBlock devs take at least two weeks to update

To be fair, Chrome itself is spyware.

Also to be fair, what isn't these days?

Firefox. 😄

craggy oxide
#

Firefox also doesn't support a lot of web apps due to "security" that aren't security issues at all.

young palm
#

Well it's most likely those apps exceed a data collection threshold.

#

But you can also break half the internet if you crank up Firefox's privacy to max. LOL

#

Remember, if it's a free service, you're the product.

craggy oxide
#

I may be using the wrong terminology. I'm referring to java-based applications on websites. Or CSS, or even HTML 5. There are some sites that simply don't display properly, or at all, on Firefox.

#

I rarely run into that, thankfully. And its usually garbage systems my company uses...

#

I gave up reporting possible security risks to our IT. They don't follow best practices.

#

It's even likely we have a data breach and nobody's noticed yet.

I won't lie. I'm not worried about data collection. If someone wants to buy a list of the p-rn sites I visit, that's their money to spend. The only things I lock down are my mic and webcam.

Oh I'm with you there. I don't care that much, but I won't make it easy.

Vivaldi is an interesting Chrome alternative

craggy oxide
#

The thing about Chrome is that I'm willing to sacrifice my usage data in exchange for cross-platform parity.

#

I would be using Apple products for the same reason except Windows/Chrome/Android is more affordable for me at the moment.

young palm
#

I used to be ok with Apple products. But the iPhone's recent years... "Look! We made almost no change! Pay us even more please!"

#

Or that they keep making it harder and harder to repair all devices. Or the fact they keep getting caught purposely trying to make old devices unusable.

#

I'm also bitter about that iPhone X. "HEY LOOK! Bigger! ... And with the power of the Galaxy S6. Weaker then the other phone we just released..."

craggy oxide
#

Having worked for Apple through a third party recently, I can say that 1) the changes are mostly software-related, with the exception of the camera, which has become much more sophisticated and 2) they, in fact, have not deliberately made old devices unusable. The iPhone 6 battery issue was simply Apple dropping the ball on their iOS framework as they developed tools to make the OS backwards compatible. It was fixed in a later update. And the result of that experiment has led to iOS 14 being compatible as far back as iPhone 7.

#

The X, XS, and XS Max are superior to the Galaxy of the same generation. Only the XR is inferior, and that's by design.

I recall them saying something along the lines of it would be some time before it was fully implemented

#

It's just been a couple years since I worked AppleCare so I wasn't sure if it had come to pass or not

young palm
#

They really just need to stop making self/3rd party repair harder. Hopefully the bill for "right to repair" actually gets through in the US.

craggy oxide
#

I mean

#

90% of the calls I took while working AppleCare were ppl with screens that no longer worked because they got it repaired through a 3rd party that didn't know wtf they were doing

#

or something similar

young palm
#

That's on them, but it still should be made easier and 1st party kits.

craggy oxide
#

it's not difficult for a 3rd party to field repairs, they just need to certify w/ apple. it's their fault if they don't

teal bolt
#

I'm sorry I gotta jump in here, but apple literally restricts the people who make there parts from selling them anywhere else so third parties will never have the parts needed

craggy oxide
#

Third parties who certify with Apple can get parts directly from Apple to make basic repairs. For things that require mail-in repairs, those same third parties can do so at no cost to themseves or the user.

#

Unless that policy has changed within the last three years.

fallen stirrup
#

It hasn't

teal bolt
#

Wait so third parties still need to mail in repairs to apple?

craggy oxide
#

If there's damage or potential damage to the electronics, yes. They can do battery and screen repairs though.

#

And despite what ppl think, the same goes for any other manufacturer. Any third party that tells you they repair the circuitry in-house is lying.

young palm
#

That or you found the rare expert that actually can. But I wouldn't trust. We just go through our phone provider if it breaks.

teal bolt
#

So let me get this straight, Apple allowed third parties to fix the most basic of issues, but still limits there software and any documentation on how to fix there phones.
so if lets say I have a battery issue on my mac book pro I could pay 1000's still because the shop has to send it in.

Guys the only reason is "hard" is because apple intentionally creates pieces with unstanderdized parts and single seller items, they intentionally make there documentation on there parts impossible to find.

craggy oxide
#

Most provider outlets are certified with Apple and can do screen/battery/button repairs, and will send the device to Apple for electronics.

teal bolt
#

All I see is a PR stunt by a company who pays Billions lobbying countries to turn down "right to repair" laws

craggy oxide
#

When I worked AppleCare, there were people who spent thousands of dollars before calling AppleCare, blaming Apple, when they could have called Apple in the first place and spent a fraction of that for their out of warranty repair.

teal bolt
#

you don't get what I am trying to say, a repair which could be 10$ is 200$ at a apple repair shop and 500$ at a third part because of the complications apple intentionally puts into there products and restrictions on fixing them. It isnt magic that it only seems like apple does things right and that I "have" to go to apple to not get scammed.

craggy oxide
#

You've got it twisted. It's me that you're not getting. Third parties that are certified with Apple don't charge any more for out of warranty repairs than Apple would if you contacted Apple directly. A shop that isn't certified with Apple is 1) going to use parts that don't meet quality standards and is likely to break again sooner, and possibly worse than before, and 2) going to charge you more because they're scamming you, not Apple. You already have a "right to repair" but you also have a responsibility to do the homework and find out which vendors have your interests at heart and not their wallets.

And literally no device in the history of ever has ever cost $10 and been a reliable repair. That's not how specialized labor works. It doesn't work that way for cars, it doesn't work that way for utilities, it doesn't work that way for houses, it doesn't work that way for electronics. It doesn't work that way peroid.

And Apple isn't doing anything intentionally to take more money from you. This is a practice that every manufacturer observes, with minor differences from company to company. Again, any third party vendor that tells you they're repairing the electronics of your device in-house is 100% lying to you, and are 100% charging you more than if you'd contacted a certified vendor instead.
