"Those lazy, lazy leaves"! I was taking the scenic route from shopping through the park and there I slid in a corner and fell. I lost all tyre grip because a brown and slimy moist pile of leaves in the curve acted like it's the best replacement for grease in that moment. Luckily there was not much damage. My pants got dirty, a scratch on my knee, and the side of my pedal was heavily scratched.

@nerthos i've been since msay, but i will go to france again in the end of november, for the last time finally
-
@scribus I would still go on an RDN roadtrip no questions asked, even though I'd probably have to shoot someone a few hours in at this point. Bonus points for a certain someone, in his own words, wanting to hit me with a wrench but 100% not brave enough to actually try if in the same room.
You're cool though, so we can eat fries after the fights die down.

Working on a paid project over the next few weeks. I will post... MY contributions here when I'm allowed. I WILL NOT post the project itself or even give the name because Gherkin will nuke my account.

@scribus it's not, like, i'm working on kanye's next video or anything like that, I'm just doing some extra backgrounds and 3D work and stuff, but the artist leading the project is a NSFW artist so you can probably guess what context this space ship i'm modeling is going to appear in...

@scribus It's a waste to become immensely rich and not bananapost the world order. In his place, I would have gone through with ceasing satellite operations and responded to any further messages from the ambassador with "lmao" and a version of "friendship ended with mudasir" edited to pictures of zelensky and putin

Theoretically the work rules and environment at highschools nowadays is downright nightmarish, but since in practice what you can and can't do comes down to how you frame it and how good you are at talking your way through the hierarchy, it's not stressful at all for me and so long as I get results the administration doesn't get in the way.
I do often see other teachers that aren't good at the workplace politics losing hair and sleep over it though.Monday, 10-Oct-22 19:11:36 UTC from web-
@nerthos Ha, "other teachers" / "the District" has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks in my deciding to actually goto school and get teacher-certified up, I do not politick worth a crap
-
@scribus For me "other teachers" hasn't been too big a hurdle, because even though some are antagonistic (particularly the ideologues) they also tend to be massive cowards, so my usual strategy of just talking with full honesty to whoever's in charge is not something they know how to deal with.
The district and the ministry are another issue altogether, they seem to be on some sort of one-sided competition to prove the limits of insanity and incompetence when it comes to regulations and counterproductive ideas can yet be pushed further. The latest great ideas they had was a proposal to remove the attendance requirements so that students can't fail a class by not attending; and to demand tech schools be more lax with dress code (the dress code for tech school is just no hats, no piercings or jewelry in the workshop, pants without holes and knee-length blue or white overall/duster, all of which are basic safety requirements in a workshop)

The legal-in-my-state substances I took hit me way harder than I thought they would last night. Maybe shouldn’t do that again.

@scribus there was apparently waaaaaay more THC in the edible than I thought. My brain basically shut down while my body went into autopilot and at some point I just decided to go to sleep because paranoia was setting in. I then slept for twelve hours, woke up, came to work, realized it was still kind of working its way through my system, it’s 3pm now and I’m only just feeling normal again.

@zeldatra hahaha been there, man. Been there.... I was at a Christmas party, and the conversational peer of the Yule Log.

@adiwan We're currently going through the once-a-century social hysteria so at least one of them is true, the other requires more study.

Ooof... Robert Zemeckis can't do it right somehow. The Live-action Pinocchio is borderline bad.

I am going to find it easier and faster to export 360 individual PNG files than figuring out OpenToonz
Tuesday, 30-Aug-22 04:54:56 UTC from web-
@scribus OpenToonz is quite genuinely the least user friendly animation program in the entire Galaxy universe. It was designed to be used exclusively by the guy who first invented it to color Family Guy digitally in 2001 and if you are anybody but that’s one guy you’re SOL.
-
@zeldatra Definitely not touched by anybody who has at any point used anything resembling a mainstream graphics program

Just got off the phone with a very angry customer. I am at home. Beyond furious.

@scribus no, thankfully, my assistant called me on his own phone specifically because the customer wanted to yell at me

Thought about starting a Sims channel but instead of doing what everyone else does just gradually going down a weird avant-garde surreal psychological horror route.

Wow I got mail from VP Harris! Wonder which letter it's in response to (and how inflammatory I was)?

@zeldatra Mine turned out to be pretty much a form letter, probably the same text I'd have gotten from an e-mail

Although tbf the whole reason I need the discount is because I’m teaching myself Storyboard Pro ($65 without the student discount; $7 with it) so I can go for a job opportunity in the United Kingdom, so, you know, this student discount might be what makes it harder to get the student discount.

Next clone was struck by lightning almost immediately upon arriving home. Didn’t die, but they definitely have some kind of hidden “unlucky” flag or something that’s causing this.
Friday, 19-Aug-22 13:14:59 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I made a spellcaster Zelda Hylia for laughs (and because I'd been obsessing with HW:AOC again) and she evidently really likes the clone spell. Now there's an Iliana and a Ciera and like 2 or 3 others walking around town, with wildly different behaviors. I first found out when I thought I had caught the princess skinny-dipping in the hot tub and saw that she had changed her name :p
-
@scribus there are three different clones of my main sim wandering around town right now (not counting the dead one, RIP Francis) because it’s a shockingly common work goal at the top level of the scientist career and I am slightly concerned that the neighborhood will be overrun as caring for all of them is a chore and I’ve basically been moving them into the family bin one by one and marking them as “unplayed” so that their AI will try and ingratiate them into the neighborhood storytelling feature.

Today in The Sims 4: Cloned myself. Twice. First clone was evil (ie a bit of a prick) so I abandoned him on the street. Second clone was a perfect copy, but he died in a freak accident literal hours after being created. I think I shouldn’t clone myself anymore.
Thursday, 18-Aug-22 07:42:53 UTC from web-
@scribus meant, then forgot, to do some research on whether or not clones have hidden flags that make them more susceptible to deadly game events, because he died an emotion-related death which i was fairly certain up until that point was nearly impossible unless you were intentionally trying to cause it.

@zeldatra I had the mom in one of my families die of laughter out of the blue. But I guess it was only *once* so

oh please oh please oh please don’t let this jury summons be the Chris Chan trial
Tuesday, 16-Aug-22 00:32:54 UTC from web-
@scribus I was talking with a friend last night, like, there’s no way this person gets a fair trial from anyone under the age of 40, right? Jury selection’s gonna be rough.

I am so Potato Knishesing glad Trump supporters are so goddamn dumb. Guy attacks an FBI field office in Ohio, and his grand master plan to get through the bullet proof glass is to use… a nail gun. I mean hey, it says “bullet proof”, not “nail proof”.
Friday, 12-Aug-22 15:42:46 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Hahaha. Oh wow. The same logic can be applied to this: A bullet-proof vest is not knife-proof. Good old chain mail is https://i.redd.it/wniq0txjswg91.jpg
-
@zeldatra I'm quite fond of the supporters who rile up the internet and call for violence, and then denounce it as "no true Trump supporter" when it happens
-
@scribus nothing better than a guy calling for actual violence in the streets, then when someone goes and does it he’s like “that’s an FBI plant bro”

The best play is to have neither a real nor a fake girlfriend. More money for comics and action figures!
Thursday, 11-Aug-22 19:02:10 UTC from web-
@scribus This is true, I did have to pay my girlfriend at first. I mean, this was before we dated, and also she ran a cash register in my store at the time, but like, that’s just a couple of degrees away.

I download things multiple times by accident because I forget I had it in the Downloads folder or I had a copy in the more appropriate folder, which I also forget I had.
