thank you conrad this post breathed life into me.

There are only three things of unlimited supply in this harsh and unforgiving universe.

Love.

Hate.

And benis.

Bevis and Butthead

On the one hand I want to defend my cartoon dirtbags from this terrible association.

On the other hand, I laughed out loud.

No, but I sort of feel like a lib-friendly trans space with good authoritarian moderation against transphobia is a tolerable thing. Trans lives matter even if they're silly and haven't figured out that liberalism will get you nowhere but dead. I think it's probably on the whole good that LBZ exists even if it's not my cup of tea. I don't go there cuz I know where they're from before the instance existed, so I know those aren't my people.

But as a socialist HB is so beautiful for giving trans members room to breathe and exist without constant aggression and ignorance directed against us. I think trans libs deserve that too, not even as a treat but like, basic fuckin essentials for not going insane. Some of them will eventually figure out politics or the fucked up chaser dynamic enough to leave the space and we will be here to welcome them with reeducation when they come.

Happy to be corrected on this opinion though.

Nick's characters never end up joining the communist party though.

Yeah, I used to pay heaps of attention to it then my hah, material conditions, changed and so it is not something I have much time to pay attention to at the moment.

I suppose I like to think I would have figured it out before making a purchase since that's a ways off still. And besides the "new and actually worthy of being released as a distinct product" ender is available fairly cheaply so I would start there anyway. I was just wooed by how the bambu looked like a good balance of cost vs time/productivity if I proceeded with my weird plan to start a co-op biz.

Hm I'll try. Obviously I don't want to get too specific.

There is an extremely local community vs private capital struggle to prevent something profit driven that is ostensibly going to put lives and people's welfare at risk. If it sounds abstract that is because, in a sense, it is abstract- until the project is completed and the capitalist starts making absurd profits from a tiny investment. Then that abstract problem will become an inevitable one due to the nature of the project that I am considering interfering with, and how and where it is being conducted. I believe it also poses a risk to the workers working on the project and the wildlife in the area.

The project is multi-stage and while the community rallied in time to delay and complicate and buy time against the larger portion of the project, I think the earlier stage(s) were pushed through via corrupt channels and/or the community didn't get our shit together fast enough to slow the whole thing down and gain a further opportunity to solve this without anyone having to do something silly like I am considering.

So the battle is the general struggle to prevent all of the above, and the personal battle is the one inside me that feels compelled to act and throw a spanner in the gears so to speak. Even my best efforts will not prevent the part that is already in motion but I believe I can make it a more expensive to complete. I don't know enough about how the world works to know if it's ever possible to make it TOO expensive to complete, given the absolutely comical level of profit this project would generate for the prime pig in this situation.

I hope that kind of clarifies things? I know I'm still being very vague. I'm not sure it's wise to be much less vague than I am being in this post. If this post shows up as evidence in a criminal case it would presumably be pretty damning as is. Clearly by posting this I decrease my chances of actually doing the thing, the more specific I get the less likely I am to get to go home at the end.

That's if I do the thing which obviously I won't but you know, in minecraft, etc.

Legit didn't know anything about bambu except their printers go brr faster and you can do the thing with printing from different spools / colors / materials? And that I could possibly afford one at some point in the future.

One of my few non-crashout "plans" is to do something productive and useful and local which would involve 3d printers, but this news is an absolute dealbreaker on using their stuff obviously.

Thanks for the reminder of who the better 3d printer companies still are and why.

Yeah true my comment was way off the mark upon reflection.

Medic!

I've been hit! Cracker down.

I repeat: cracker down.

The One Big Website situation is an anomaly. We used to churn through "the place to be" every couple of years.

This is so overdue. Don't be scared.

Yeah I've been thinking a lot about our future balkanized internet.

Interesting times ahead.

Team sports thinking in full effect in this thread.

Yes, republican bad, yes, democrats bad. I don't give a fuck.

Avoiding some capricious big man prez interference via the DOJ by kissing the ring is sensible given Proton's vulnerability for being targeted as an easy chud treat, owing to their charity work.

Dont forget grappling, gliding and parachuting around the Just Cause games. They rarely felt like a slog.

cursive sucks I use the same handstyle I use for scrawling on walls. Flamboyantly legible if a little slower to write.

Choosing to interpret this genre error post as intentional.

Speaking as a juggalo, you're on thin ice pal.

"Behind" can often be er handled with a platonic comradely firm pat or hand on the shoulder or butt. Just ime. Idk how you solve "corner" - convex mirrors?

Mandarin or Cantonese? wo bu dong..

Dont forget the FOIA request struggle.
