@scribus Well... It's not fun when all the stitches by hand are crooked, uneven, and take too much time.
-
@scribus Agree! I have also something to add: When grocery shopping I hate when the cashier asks me if I have their app or any member cards.

@scribus The county sheriff would probably help Myers find teenagers to kill tbh, they're worse than useless.

@scribus Glenn Youngkin for his part has tried to distance himself from Trump and January 6th mostly because he can’t afford for the DC suburbs to turn out against him and that’s exactly what they’ll do if they think he’s too much like Trump.

@scribus This is more or less the last time in probably a while that Republicans have a shot at winning a statewide election in Virginia, historically we’ve always voted against the incumbent party no matter what but that anti-White House sentiment, while not totally gone (Biden won the state by ten points but polling shows the race as a toss-up) is kind of diminishing (we used to see swings of like twenty points, now it’s closer to five) and by 2025 it’ll probably be gone entirely, so this entire campaign has just been a big last-ditch effort to maybe hold Richmond one last time. Nothing is too low if you’re going out anyway.

@scribus But anyway the kiwiing moron's Gmail address and phone number were both on the flier, so I shot him an email where I point-by-point expressed concern with just about everything he put on there, essentially challenging him to try to win me over since he claims to want to represent ALL Virginians.

@scribus At first I had assumed it was part of a voter intimidation project. Here in Virginia, the GOP has been handing out fliers to voters in Democratic areas and who have participated in Democratic primaries telling them that their voter records are "public" and that they've been voting for the wrong candidates and should stay home on Tuesday if they're going to keep voting wrong. This guy used a different tactic: he didn't use the word "Republican" anywhere on his flier and claims to be my neighbor which, Jesus Christ, I hope not.

@scribus It helps to keep financing my monthly dose of comics. The raise is about as much as I pay for comics. And I read a ton of comics.

@scribus WTF if true. In the United States of Gunmerica this sounds more likely than in any other part of the world. The neglect of safety measures around guns is baffling beyond reason.

@scribus Usually there is someone responsible for the props, inventory, and blank ammo (without bullet).

@scribus if you've ever had cocaine and felt like it's done absolutely nothing to you, then you have ADHD

@scribus Oh, also, if he WERE “reinstated” he technically would be allowed to run for a second full term because the only method possible for “reinstatement” involves Republicans winning back the House, making him Speaker, and somehow winning 17 extra Senate seats with a map where they’ll be lucky if they get three, then impeaching/removing Biden-Harris simultaneously for ?????, which obviously would not be possible until 2023, when the next Congress is sworn in. So long as he is sworn in on January 21st or later, he would be allowed to run for another four year term since finish that term would bring him to just under the constitutional limit of ten years. If that’s his plan, it’s an incredibly contrived and unrealistic plan, but it is technically a plan nonetheless.
-
@scribus if he were actually running for re-election he probably would have filed the paperwork already. There’s nothing stopping him and for 2020 he filed on his first day in office. Instead he’s registered a PAC which can collect money for any number of purposes besides presidential campaigns (legal fees). The “plan” is to make as much money as possible while sabotaging the national GOP out of spite for not being more supportive of him while he was President. He requested a while back that his supporters send money to his MAGA PAC, instead of the other Republican-aligned funds that help Republicans in Congress get elected.

@scribus They didn’t pay us for Juneteenth either despite Congress having made it a federal holiday and The President having signed the bill the week before. Said it was “too late” to change payroll, which is BS.

@scribus I made a video about this last year, but the basic gist of it was that John K. was fired so early into the show’s initial run that it kind of wasn’t even his show anymore by the time the original series ended, so I personally don’t think R&S should necessarily carry his baggage, especially since we don’t really apply that same standard to more recent works with creators who were disgraced for similar reasons (The Loud House got a movie this year, even). https://youtu.be/1bVrf7n_Yek

@scribus Yeah... My old (and stolen) car had steel rims. They had quite the rusty spots but they were covered by a plastic cap that gave the illusion they were nicer.
-
@scribus in some cases, like Ren & Stimpy, it’s understandable, as Billy West won’t go near any R&S projects anymore and John K. obviously can’t and shouldn’t be asked to come back, but there are multiple shows in there that are either currently airing or have voice talent that have reprised their roles recently for other one-off projects, those characters are also silent. Apparently it was a budgetary issue, but it begs the question of why you’d set out to make this game if you don’t have the funds to pull it off. It feels like an early access game, which is insane considering the license it’s using.
-
@scribus All-season car tyres with aluminium rims what I have ordered. I didn't want to cheap out on something that will last a while and is essential for safety. Also a little bit for the looks doesn't hurt in the whole scheme of things. Steel rims are half as expensive but are also adding unnecessary weight and look like ass.
-
@scribus 2019 was his last professional win, he played an exhibition match in 2020 that he won
-
@scribus I’m actually mildly incorrect, I saw something about a tournament he played in 2020 and for some reason thought that was this year. Still way too recent for a guy whose career was over twelve years ago.
-
@scribus Thanks. I was really lucky mixing the base color to get the gray with the blue-ish tint I was aiming for. Because of the size I bought a cheap acrylic paint set and mixed white and black in a 1:1 ratio and then added about 1/3 of that amount with navy blue, and added a bunch of drops of silver metallic paint. Depending on the time of day it looks more blue or gray. On the other hand I had troubles getting rid of the layer lines using filler primer, sandpaper and files, especially the sides towards the center.

@scribus I’m gonna say the second one because I’ve said mean things about capitalists on Twitter and so participating in capitalism is liable to get me in a great deal of trouble.
