How in the hell would anyone think this community is transphobic? I never see any trans related stuff here at all, let alone phobic stuff

In reality, the previous iteration of the design wasn’t stylized to be anything, but I got feedback it looked like a key, and a toothbrush, which I didn’t like. Then I noticed the shape was very vaguely dragon head shaped so I leaned into it.

Previous iteration:

It is! Doing the designing is fun, and also doing the silicone pours is fun! This is a textured pad to grind/hump, with a hollow for a vibe. Tried to style it as like a digital dragons head

Not what you’re asking for, but it’s the same core principle as irony poisoning, I think. And, I know that shit is real, because it’s happened to me. It was kind of a core life lesson to me to watch what I consume.

Isn’t what we call a marathon just the last short leg of his journey, and he ran like 100-150 miles?

I mean clearly this is through the lens of my own experiences and feelings, that’s why I said “I don’t like that this feels like” instead of “I don’t like that this is”.

I understand “hustle culture” and the things that this is addressing, I just don’t like the… absolute? feel of it. And that’s fine, I’m not out here demanding all the memes on the internet be made specifically to my tastes. I just felt the desire to put my thoughts out there, and didn’t restrain it for once.

Give me that indiscreet shipping. Or better yet, send my next giant dong just wrapped in thick paper.

I hate that this feels so “you shouldn’t live/act conventionally” instead of “you don’t need to live/act conventionally”. Like, I don’t sell things I make because I want the money, I sell things I make because I love things I make being out and about in the world. It helps give me a reason to make them, because I struggle to make things for myself. Doing nothing absolutely kills me, and that’s ok. Making things is one of the only things I truly like about myself, of course I’m going to heavily identify with that.

Hmmmm, yes, yes, and yes… but I’m straight tho

Bi is hot

I’d rather that than have molten socks cast on me

That was a crossover promotion with archer, a show about essentially a giant dickwad james bond, voiced by the same guy who voices bob

Afaik, your body doesn’t feel a lack of oxygen, it feels the buildup of carbon dioxide, so any inert gas should do the trick. That said, I’ve avoided doing research into it for obvious reasons. Also, if someone interrupts me, then at least there’s some comic relief to lighten the mood when I start apologizing and crying in a chipmunk voice

Yeah, if I ever end up going through with it I’m gonna rig a gas mask to a helium tank with a one way outflow valve of some sort on the mask. Should be quick and easy, and no mess for anyone to clean up and no risk of hurting someone else like there is with firearms. I’m careful to not look into sources for those items or think or plan about how I’d put it all together, I do my best to keep myself safe. Never been able to stop the suicidal ideation though, so naturally I’ve thought a lot about different methods.

I was a developer at Oracle. We got handed down sales goals. ??? It was a running joke in our org that oracle is a sales company and we just scramble to make what they’re selling. When I left half our org had been laid off or left. Only got two raises in the 5 years I was there. Not worth.

Make 2014 the guy that 2024 remembers, thinking about the depressed 2024 guy thinking about the happy 2014 guy, and that’s me. I knew I was in probably the best part of my life while it was happening and enjoyed it while I could. Not that I didn’t have suicidal thoughts then too but it was definitely the most fun. More 2015-16 though.

Have you never worn headphones for a long time and your ear feels weird and squished and compressed and you need to like fold it forwards and stretch it out? Can only imagine it’s gotta be similar, must be nice once in a while especially with those radar dish cat ears

Probably because it’s probably cropped yiff

I’m not an mtg person, would protection mean only enemy spells? The original is your own too. Would be cool to have a board wipe that couldn’t affect you

There is nothing better on this earth than a cat that enjoys tummy rubbins. My roomates cat loved them, and I would take like an hour long break from working on my senior project to destress and rub her tummy and scritch her chin. Her purrs weren’t usually audible, but you’d feel her romble and she’d be kneading away. She’s still alive and well, just me and her person graduated and went our seperate ways. I miss her a lot tbh. I’ll never forget hearing a funny noise, turning around, and seeing her lapping ranch dressing out of a container my roomate left out. She loves anything salty or greasy, but wouldn’t try to eat your food, just maybe lick it if you left it unattended. She did love to sniff my dinner though.
