Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.
Kamala 2024!
If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.
But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.
#personal#answered#anonymous#i mean let's be clear here no president is gonna attempt to be progressive ever again within my lifetime#because joe biden tried to do like 25% of that and got ZERO fucking credit#he did so much on healthcare on reform on loans on so many social issues and for all his litany of failings on i/p#he has been distinctly harsher on netanyahu than a good chunk of dems and certainly the entire republican party#for the first time since i was four we are not involved in any wars as americans and that is thanks to joe biden#but the thing is that he gets no credit for any of it!#him pulling out of afghanistan caused his approvals to tank in a way that never recovered#and leftists gave him FUCK ALL for it#they gave him nothing they just continued whining that even tho he cancelled a bajillion in student loans#he didn't actually cancel a QUADRILLION dollars so both parties are the same and voting is the most arduous task known to man#no democrat who is running is going to forget that catering to leftist/progressive policies gets them zero leeway with those supporters#that it not only tanks numbers but you still get constant haranguing about it anyway#so they're not gonna do it#we are gonna get fuckall for at least a good fifty years#and anything we get will be utterly in SPITE of people like you anon it will happen in spite of everything you've done#mostly because of people like me and mine who understand that voting is the bare minimum#and that for the democratic process to work the way you want it to you need to participate and not pitch a fucking fit#like a four year old who was told they can't go to disney this weekend#like i know you ratfuckers are happy this played out because this is all a game to you and you don't actually care#but that's why i've got zero faith in you people and why i'm glad it's my kind of folks#actual die hard democrats who have always been hardliners for supporting democrats in every possible election#who are picking up the slack and donating to harris and supporting her agenda#which is the exact same as biden's because she's his vice president and they share they same platform#because that's what they were both running on! twice!#anyway fuck you please feel free to find a necktie and test how tall your doorframe is

I've been playing beta minecraft for reasons
bonus: windowed mode obliterated color glitch
#minecraft#random stuff#I had to do an entire tutorial and get the prism launcher to fix that glitch#I was telling my brother. when I started playing it it felt like playing a horror game version of minecraft#where it's pitch black at night and you can't run and can't passively regenerate#now it just sort of feels like Smaller Simpler Minecraft. with some functionality problems#in some ways it's less frustrating to play#in others it's like oh. I definitely see why they fixed that. like bows which are terrible in this version#I see people talking about how old minecraft had so much more busywork in it#but modern minecraft is just. villagers.#once I get all the items I was thinking about updating it to the prereleases so that I can finally sprint#it is nice to not have to constantly eat though

Song of the Day: December 18
“On the Steps of the Palace" from Stephen Sondheim's best musical "Into the Woods" (I'm partial to the original Broadway cast recording, but the 2002 revival is also good)
#song of the day#yesterday was '99' by Elliot Moss but only briefly! I was too distracted by plumbing woes#plumbing all fixed now and I'm very relieved#plumber not only fixed our drain problems but also very casually on his way out told us he'd corrected the hot-cold attachments too#a great gift all unasked-for. we've been having to turn the damn knob backwards for years#anyway I love singing this song. to be completely honest I don't /agree/ with it I don't care much for deciding-not-to-decide#but it's such a quick clever fun rundown of a song#'he's a very smart prince / he's a prince who prepares / knowing this time I'd run from him / he spread pitch on the stairs#I was caught unawares / and I thought well he cares / this is more than just malice#better stop and take stock / while you're standing here stuck / on the steps of the palace'#minor point of pride for me I did type that from memory at speed and I only got a couple mangled 'the' typos. 'hte' why do you haunt me#anyway I love Sondheim. I love the quick sharpness and the assonance and alliteration and how his stories fold back on themselves#excellent song. excellent play. what a delight

english punditry is so lazy and full of bad takes it makes me hate this country even more
#their narratives about trent when we haven’t even played a flipping game yet have been absurd#walker and trippier who’ve made plenty more mistakes this season are perfect players tho!!!#even tho walker was no where to be seen for the iceland goal last week#and then england looked so awful until trent came on the pitch. but ok#this is why this country will never be successful. u have former players ripping into the team and highlighting their weaknesses#before they every kick a ball? yet there’s no questioning the manager and his tactics no let’s just scapegoat the one player#who can create from anywhere on the pitch and who completed club football as a RB in his#early 20s#i could go on bc this is so fucking stupid like even the ITV interview they said with him last season where they were basically being like#‘do you think you can defend bc we all basically see u as a massive weakness lol’ and he just had to sit there!!!#no other player got that treatment ie rashford or trippier or reece james or anyone else it’s just trent they focus on#this country will never prosper and i will laugh bc if they can’t fit a player into a box of what they think they should do#they automatically shun them and say there’s no place for them. and then wonder why we’re so unsuccessful#anyways. defending trent isn’t enough i need a gun#england nt

only bad thing about being in a fandom where one of the characters canonically has wings is the painful lack of classic wingfic. where is my everything's the same but people have bird wings watford au where one day baz notices simon hasn't been grooming his wings bc of an injury to his ribs so he sits on his bed and makes a whole fuss about how "i'm not doing this to be nice, snow, your wings are just a travesty to look at" and then proceeds to carefully and lovingly tidy his feathers in drawn out silence while they both pretend grooming someone else's wings isn't one of the most intimate things you can do for another person. will this heartbreak never end
#i have an old wingfic that never left the zero draft stage and it was suuuper fucking plotty#simon was still the chosen one in it but not in a weird sex magic kinda way like he was just home grown like that so no humdrum#so lucy is alive and he grew up with her and the mage (and they have a dog!) (simon named her ''little simon'' lmfao)#meanwhile baz isn't a vampire but natasha still died when he was five bc ok i don't know how to explain the lore behind this#bc it has to do with a skeevy blackmarket trade involving human wings like it was kinda dark ngl#but the long and short of it is that baz and tasha are kidnapped and tasha is killed keeping baz safe but baz's wings are damaged#pretty severely and so one of them never grows to full size and it leaves him flightless#n e way simon and baz don't get on bc the mage is still the mage and the old families are still the old families#but they are roommates as usual#and half-term their eighth year pitch manor is raided by blackmarket poachers and mordelia is kidnapped and the whole grimm family is#in shambles so baz goes right to simon about it and there's this reverse of the simon-showing-up-at-baz's-door scene#where baz shows up at simon's door a complete WRECK to ask for help getting his sister back#and simon is like. why are you asking ME for help?#and baz is like. bc you're the only one i know who can#and then they fucking steal one of the mage's cars and hit the road [so good right now by fall out boy starts playing]#and then it's just kind of a normal mission fic about them finding mordelia and saving her life and baz falls out a very high window#and simon catches him etc.#i love wingfics so much#sighs wistfully#i think i need to be alone w my gdocu for while#valen and the void

even though i feel like i can confidently tell when a piece of art is generative A/I, i really don't feel inclined or really even justified calling someone out for it due to the precedent it sets - especially when artists who DO make their own pieces get caught in the crossfire for being inexperienced or making the choice to be more free-form when it comes to character design / consistency...
#i can't even really put into words how I can Tell#other than like... random blurry details in areas that would not logically have those details blurred - for styles imitating digital art#what i mean by this is: you can kind of tell when and where a type of tool has been used when it comes to digital pieces#if it looks like an artist grabbed the smudge tool and used it in a small area surrounded by crisper details ... it seems like an arbitrary#- and thoughtless decision#especially when it comes to character design pieces#this blurriness is also present in a type of style that wouldn't see much reason to use the smudge tool at all .. such as a cell shaded -#- toon style with thick outlines#i think what bothers me about this whole debacle is how we're setting up an environment where people feel inclined to lie about using-#-generative tools... part of the problem is the foundation of a/i art to be using people's work without . permission. im sure a good amount#-of artists wouldnt have minded MAKING pieces to be used solely for these type of tools#since generative art has been used as an excuse to replace artists in an attempt to render their work unnecessary or obsolete ... it's -#- become politicized and viewed as anti-artist. which. fair enough. it was pitched and sold that way#but even if like... these initial problems were addressed i feel like there'd still be a lot of stigma associated with generative art#since a lot of people's beef with it is the fact that it feels soulless. and i feel like that has to do with how the generated works are -#- being passed off as completed full pieces and not have any transformative work done upon them#i always joke about like 'they should invent art that's easier to make' ... but i don't want the hard work on my end replaced#just some help really. or guidance on completing my own work. A/I could have -possibly- been used as another form of reference#(if it were more competent. i think it's sloppy as hell in its current state)#but before it was uh... hugely controversial and right when generative A/I got more competent? i actually saw it as a toy.#i wanted to play with it and see what would come out... im honestly just more-so frustrated that it's viewed as on-par or better than-#-work done by human beings. what makes something art to me is if it's been transformed by human intention and connection#and i don't get how it's snobby to dislike A/I art for that reason. why do y'all think artists love when people dissect and examine their-#-work ? art is about human connection. we have ancient monuments and abandoned cave paintings we know nothing about-#- but are captivated by because we want to know WHY they're there. WHO made them. and for what reason#and i think a/i art is a painful reminder for a lot of artists that to a lot of people art is only valued through aesthetic merit#no acknowledgement for an artist's hard work .. their life .. all the personal intention behind their work#it's the commodification being thrown back in our faces tenfold#another tag essay by me. shiloh

So why did no one tell me how freaking hard it is to draw violins ?? It's probably not very accurate but I do not care?? Because this took hours?? to be completely honest I just wanted to start posting my art on here before the COC lol 💫 also this is an older drawing (give or take a few weeks) and I swear the proportions on my newer drawings are less... Terrible
#carry on rainbow rowell#baz pitch#simon snow series#clearly i hate myself because why did i do a full page drawing wth sharpie#whats he playing?#a needlessly morose kishi bashi song obviously

finally got to watch dipper and mabel vs the future and two of the weirdmageddon eps with my sis and it's a weird feeling after reading the initial pitch bible for the show because you then realise that ford's apprenticeship offer is basically what alex had pitch!stan's motivation be (aka pitch!stan being the guardian of gravity falls and deciding which twin should be his successor to protect the town)
#its even funnier cos alex was intending to have the agents make that apprentice offer to dipper#before realising it made more sense for ford to do it as dipper's idol#meaning they unintentionally went full circle with all of it#it taking months for my sis to finish the show cos she was procrastinating s1 for ages cos it not being plot focused....#and then i accidentally had a pic of ford up when i was drawing so that was a giant spoiler lmaoooo#pitch!stan being the guardian of the town is hilarious in contrast to canon stan avoiding all the weirdness as much as possible#the guy stayed the fuck away from the general weirdness and focused on that portal.... but also doing his own weird crimes as a treat <3#its for personal enrichment dangit!!!! let the man impersonate a dentist for who knows what reason!!!!#also soos being swayed by the mabeland dad illusion when he's offered the chance to play catch#but then soos later asking stan to play catch after overhearing stan's hangups over never being able to#play catch with his dad and that being why he made footbot for his science fair project

were supposed to memorize parts of our songs for choir by today in class and while i have practiced them at almost every possible moment and the recordings continue to ring in my head over and over im still not totally confident
#there are just specific places where i forget what the music says#and its hard to hear the alto part in the recordings . :|#if the sopranos arent ready im gonna be like. ok what gives. ur parts are loud . lmfao#jordan talks#these songs are haunting me. they keep replaying over and over#which is sometimes u helpful bc ill remember someone else part instead of mine when im not confident in it . idk#which we had separate part recordings to practice with and THEN a full song. idk#i had to download a keyboard app. do u know how hard it is to play piano on an iphone .#the bulgarian folk song we JUST learned the words for is the hardest#bc we have been practicing just rhythm and pitch……….#and then it turned out to just be pronounced the way you would latin. and i was like. why did we wait#this is how i would have read it anyways.

breezeheather
#nobody understands heathertail like I do/j#no joking actually but I think the reason why I latched onto heathertail so bad is bc she was shown as the only apprentice who liked...#actually played? like any other time apprentices or warriors are shown playing they are instantly scolded#but we're supposed to find heatherpaws rp adventures charming and she is so epic for that#anyways this is my pitch to everyone that heathertail is like autistic about the tunnels#she heard stories as a kit about a time where windclan cats could tunnel underground#so when she found the tunnels she was like ''this is so epic''#I think she would know all about tunnel history and how it was done. she could name the moons where important tunneling events happened.#nobody is doing it like her. but nobody cares#also heathertail plays the wcs version of dnd. idc. I think she would be into ttrpgs

If I see one (1) more post of someone getting pissy that more people are not into (insert genre or medium of thing here) that DOESN’T include a recommendation list I’m actually going to strangle someone
#ch.txt#‘why have people not invested dozens or hundreds or even thousands of hours into the things I specifically like’#because not everyone is going to see what you do in everything. because people have different tastes#and if you want to change that you’re going to have to actually introduce tbem to something#or denigrating ppl who like a thing but are not as knowledgable about it or haven’t invested enough time into it#you don’t see me going out and bitching at final fantasy fans for not playing (what I think) are better rpg series like the tales series#so far the ones I’ve seen have been about book and music genres#finding and checking out new artist for example is in fact a time sink and you are going to end up wading through some you just don’t like#and books even moreso! it takes maybe a full day of mostly just reading to get through a reasonably sized fiction book usually!#and that’s just one fucking book! so if you’re going to kvetch about it I better hear it followed up with recommendations#and a goddamn pitch for why I should not spend my time doing the things I already love to do instead#(achievement pops up over my head: new pet peeve discovered!)#okay kvetch over everybody move along

I am compelled by the keyboards that look like they're made for bees
#i would be intimidated if i hadn't already gone through the trouble of figuring out how the hell button accordions keys were laid out#turns out structuring the keyboard like stacked fretboards makes WAY more sense to my brain than white and black keys ever did#like i assume most people look at that and think that's bullshit how could you figure that out why would you try to make that work#i look at it and see RGB accordion that won't hurt my back#i don't need something that lights up i would settle for an overlay you put on top of regular piano keys#i want chord shapes you can just move around anywhere and the intervals stay the same#i know chords my relative pitch is good this would be so much more intuitive to get a musical idea out of my brain#or figure out what a song is doing by playing along#i miss music#i know people have 3d print files for this sort of contraption i might be able to just take the measurements and build my own durable one#would have better results faster doing it that way than trying to figure out 3d printing

when i was 12 this was the coolest most mindblowing shit ever i was genuinely so obsessed with it I'd read it very day like the bible. I would die for a version of this with the post 3D world content over my country
#i hve vs super mario bros on my switch bc i wanted to chronologically play through the storied hero timeline and i couldnt find a rom#I think it has the same appeal as spid.erverse kinda except instead of multiple different people filling the same role as sp.iderman its#the same guy it's still mario but the changes come from things going differently at certain points in his life do you GET ME!!#LIKE!!!!!!!! MOST OF IT'S DETERMINED BY WHAT HAPPENS IN YOSHIS ISLAND AND THERES ALTERNATIVE PATHS IF HE WINS OR FAILS!!! GAME OVERS HAVE#CONSEQUENCES THAT BRANCH INTO THEIR OWN TIMELINES MARIO CAN END UP WITH DIFFERENT PARENTS ITS SO COOLLLLLL#and i love how each of the major branches has their own theme like “action hero” is the one with all the gameplay-focused#mainline titles “storied hero” is the one with all the M&L rpgs and more plot-heavier stuff and “blue collar hero” is this third one#with all the donkey kong titles and wackier/arcade titles WHERE i might add his design had a blue shirt and red overalls#and the tl builds off of those games into nsmb so i like to hc that he kept his early 80s design well into the later games <-autistic sorry#AND how thetimelines represent how their different backstories have influenced their personalities and thought processes a little like#what happened to mario in the blue collar branch like he either becomes EVILL!!!! and kidnaps donkey kong leading to dkjr or#divorces peach and has a self isolation arc after nsmb2 whats going on w him...#and i LOVE how all of them have a sort of common event where bowser invades the mushroom kingdom and in each timeline its#represented by a different variation of the original super mario bros game with action hero's event being represented by smb itself#which is fitting since thats the branch where mario and luigi ended up with their intended parents and everything went as planned#and i think a general theme here is that the more things go against intention the sillier it gets dont even get me STARTED on the time#travel shenanigans in bottom right which lead into the handheld remakes i love this so much its unreal#i do wish paper mario wasnt explained away as a dream but like thats its whole other world and art style and itd be difficult#to fit it into one of the major branches so i get why it was done. i probably wouldve just given it its own isolated bubble in the corner#at that rate i probably wouldve added so much more shit to the main tl im talking game&watch games i look at this and i see a pitch#for a full feature length autism production you understand
