"This sculpture bears a representation of a yak being knocked unconscious out of bleak necessity. The yak looks seductive. The whole image is depicted by the careful arrangement of six acrobats. The work has a glitch-art feeling and a square structure. This image relates to the harming of the yak on the 9th of Aprimay, 5501."

Y'know, I feel like if we made ridiculous pieces of art meant to immortalize the stupid things people have done like RimWorld colonists do, people would feel less inclined to do said stupid things.
Anyway one of my colonists made a sculpture about a yak they slaughtered and it's glorious.

A screenshot of a RimWorld colonist's infection in their health tab. Their immunity was at 99.7% - literal seconds away from surviving.

Quite possibly one of the most painful deaths to an infection I've had in RimWorld.

There's a disturbing number of people who equate being miserable and having nothing enjoyable in your life to being the same as being financially responsible.
My job has given me insights into society's views I wish I was still ignorant on.

Enyo, a snow morph corn snake, poking his head out from under a decorative SNAKE XING sign to look at the camera, and the person who keeps insisting on trying to get his attention behind the camera.

I've had this goober for a whole year now. Look at him and his silly face. I don't think he's even noticed how long he's been here. He just wants food and for me to stop bugging him, probably.

The Snake Cuddling will continue until morale improves.

Milk Nakse The Nakse is a true snake, and various species are found throughout Xanje's worlds. This snake is not venomous, but instead kills its prey by quickly wrapping its powerful body around it, suffocating ...

One of the pet designs I submitted to Xanje was accepted and implemented into the site at the start of this month!

If you play Xanje, they're available in the main pet shop. Buy as many as your heart desires!

Mijah, literally resting her head on the fuzzy I just gave her:
"Where is my food, mother? Why did you take it away?"

She then proceeded to try eating my fingers and the feeding tongs several times before finally figuring out the fuzzy still existed.

Pet snakes man.

Playing Hades II has made me painfully aware that my solution for dashing out of one attack, is apparently to dash straight into another one I didn't notice.

(4) All of this being a long way to say, this is perfectly believable to me. I talk to these people almost every day. This checks out imo.

(3) I never know the age or disability status of the people I text with unless they directly tell me, but given that a lot of them either said they were on SS benefits and/or had a name more popular in older generations, I can guess that quite a few older disabled folks voted for him.

(2) illegal immigrant deportation - boosted by the belief that there's millions of them, and they're mostly all serious criminals, and also some transphobia towards the end.
There were more reasons than just those ofc, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

(1) I currently work as a political canvasser via texting, so I can actually answer this.
The main reasons I saw from Trump supporters involved the economy ("Things were much cheaper when Trump was president" is a sentence I have seen many times now), the removal of taxes on SS, border control,

It's okay, I built this. I'm not making fun of some random person's build, I'm making fun of my own lol.

My attempt at building SpongeBob's pineapple house in Minecraft. It's made of orange concrete with lime concrete leaves, an iron block chimney, and some modded wood types for the doors and window frame. Light blue stained glass is used for the window itself. The whole build is, indeed, under the sea.

Kid: I want SpongeBob's pineapple
Mom: We have SpongeBob's pineapple at home

SpongeBob's pineapple at home:

The cover of a book titled "First Aid for Dogs" with the subtitle "Everything you need to know in an emergency". There's more text that reads: + Your dog's health + Accidents & Emergencies + Dos and Dont's + Everyday Care +Stocking A First Aid Kit There's a picture of a brown and white dog under a white blanket under all the text.

Do I have a dog? No.
Do I live with dogs? No.
Do I work with dogs? No.
Can I remember when I last interacted with a dog? Unfortunately, no.

But did I buy a book on dog first aid during my bookstore visit a few days ago anyway?
Hell yes.

my brain feels like stew

On one hand I'm morbidly curious and want to know what this person said.
On the other hand I'd like to retain some sanity...

I used to not like my art style so much because it always felt simple and sloppy in some inherent way I could never seem to fix no matter what I tried.

But just earlier today, I realized that at the very least, my art is blatantly human-made. It couldn't be mistaken for AI.

So now I like it.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll take a look at those!

Does anybody know of a good camera for someone who wants to try getting into photography? I want to take a crack at it to see if it's something I'd like to do, but the only camera I've ever used is the one on my cell phone and I don't have a big budget.

Oreo, a 50/50 jungle corn snake, intensely staring straight down with just his pupil at the driftwood his head is resting on.

A different perspective of the first image, where it reveals that only one of his pupils is staring straight down. The other one is looking forwards like usual.

Why's Oreo eyeballing the driftwood like that? With only one eye no less?

I have a sona design that's awesome and I love it, but every time I try to draw it, it's like I've lost every ounce of drawing skill I ever had because I just can't :(

Video games are always more fun when they don't have an obnoxiously restrictive stamina / energy system.

Paleo Pines is cute and all so far, but the stamina system alone is a major turnoff for me that's making it hard to sit down and actually enjoy the game. It's good that WeMod exists lmao

Why do I always feel the most creatively productive when I am not capable of drawing or writing? Like seriously. Why does this keep happening?

I will remember this payment option if I ever end up adopting a snake from you again /j

I'm stuck in that spot where I want to be productive with the creative projects I'm working on, but I have so many things to work on that I can't pick anything and just play Minecraft instead

Instructions unclear, now I just have pet snakes

How many eyes do humans have? I know this one! It's 5! :) /j

Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who reads this. This has been me rambling about the various subjects bouncing around in my mind. If it was of value to anyone, then it was rambling well-spent.

Don't try to kid yourself with a "I have a lot of willpower, I'll be fine" or similar sentiment either. Everyone has a breaking point. Even if yours is harder to reach, it still exists, and it can still be just as dangerous as anyone else's.
