Every animal is smarter than me in finding food in its ecosystem. As far as math and critical thinking, spiders and their webs come to mind.

I donated what I could. I’m skeptical of people asking for money online but the worst case scenario for me is I’m out a bit of beer money to a scam and best case scenario is I actually helped someone a little. It’s an easy risk for me. Wish I could give more. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, what it takes to get through it, or to continue posting with hope. Please make it through, all of you.

I’ll try almost any dish at party at least once. The jello salads have always been strange to me.

I do like texture sometimes, I wish the flavors were my thing. I also like the look of the food items being suspended in a glass dome like shape.

American here. I didn’t consent to it, but I am prepared and practice the mindfulness of being prepared that we reap what we sow.

I imagine my liver cells felt this way when I was an active alcoholic, part of the system but somehow powerless to change it.

Actually more like a somewhere else cell, my liver cells cry out in horror and I sit by unable to travel there to do any good.

That’s amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Thats so cool they like to do speeches. My partner and I are like, “oooh I wonder what kind of speeches they do?” Thank you again for sharing the painting and the information.

Me too! I was drafting a comment in my head as I looked at the work in progress photos in the link about how I had no idea oil took that long to dry.

OP thank you for creating this and sharing the process and a bit of info on oil painting dry times. I was fascinated from start to finish.

Lovely painting, that person looks like they are very kind and welcoming. But I might be putting som bias on relating them to someone I might recognize I don’t know what you were going for.

May I ask the details of the commission you were provided, was it a photo you worked from?

I don’t see how anyone who already isn’t appalled by the genocide, is going to start to care because an American with a “brown” sounding name is also killed.

I don’t care any more than I already do which is I think all of it, whatever care is I have all of it for Palestine or any other oppressed peoples.

I’m editing to add: I really hate that I used the term brown sounding name because it feels icky and racist but it’s what I’ve come to expect from my less kind countrymen.

Thank you so much for this estimation. I don’t even care about the “about” part of it. I wanted a rough estimation and you provided.

Isn’t the antichrist suppose to be hot as fuck?

Or is that just Lucifer and the apple fell a bit far from the tree?

I would like that convention.

Anytime my partner and any friend of hers hang out or walk into or out of an area. I would remark on the sudden occurrence of a BBC.

Bad Bitch Convention.

I get some laughs but it makes her laugh or smile.

She appears to be a stocky person in boxy looking clothing. It might be influencing the perspective.

The dude right before him was the only supporter I believe. I skipped through a bit of the later half because I have to cook dinner.

He has the “who is your daddy” shirt with the president in an ICE armor vest.

Yes I can see some really altruistic uses for these but they’re outweighed by the malicious ones.

Like RING cameras and the other brands, would be super cool to help locate lost children and elderly but bad people are going to use them for fascism.

I never snorted it and I didn’t look for it for fun but if I was out of crystal meth it made me feel better and pretty good.

I’m in recovery now thankfully, don’t do meth kids. Unless you like turning all your bad feelings into good feelings.

Let’s see Gracie’s Corner.

Am I Gracie the person, child star and education advocate/entertainer and NAACP award winner, or am I simply a little girl.

The real Tragic Tim was his son, Tragic Tim Jr., who sets out to avenge his father even though he had squandered the family’s last coins to pursue a life of adventure.

It’s always some guy instead of me….

Great job and very healthy decision making!

I agree. That’s not an ugly kitten by any means. Some people call my pet ugly cute but majority think cute. This is a regular kitten with a caption used to drive engagement.

My pop use to work for I think it was a freight shipping company, but the company took out a sponsorship for a team, for bravado points I imagine, and of course to schmooze with other people that like to waste money. We got tickets sometimes.

Anyways, what a gloriously ridiculous machine. It’s so stupid and so powerful, but that team looked like passionate experts living out their dreams. I’m happy for them. Looks like dwarves doing cool dwarf shit.

Also yea, waste of resources, does not seem like a feasible thing to be doing in a finite world.

My out of my butt possible explanation to the chain is to preserve the strength of grip because if you’ve ever hit something really hard with a solid object like a bat against another like a pole or rock, or even a bad contact with a baseball the vibrations from the impact can be painful and reduce your strength, sometimes causing you to drop the bat. Dudes might’ve had some thick gloves though to probably stop that though.

Also another butt idea, it may also preserve the condition of shaft overall because it wouldn’t be experiencing a lot of impact pressure either, only from blocking I guess and the general wear and tear of the attachment of the chain to shaft thing and the tug of swinging that bitch around.

I could also see it as an over the shield lever point where the shaft strikes the top of your opponent’s guard and the ball and chain fall down upon them.

Thanks for coming to my butt talk.
