    Does Apu Apustaja count as Pepe in your opinion? So far I've been assuming that it does, but perhaps you have differing views.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    It's a subspecies of Pepe, I'd say.

    It could probably still breed with regular Pepe and produce viable offspring so it's a subspecies.
  • I always assumed it did.
  • He who laments and can't let go of the past is forever doomed to solitude.
    how weird

    I'm almost at 300 entire views on fictionpress! Like at first I used to get like... 3 views a chapter if any at all but after I took a break and made the chapters shorter I started getting like 10 views a week and so far this month I got 60 entire hits and I possibly have like... 15 regular readers!

    So, I'm through all the Goblin Slayer I could lay my hands on without, well, physically laying my hands on anything. Honestly, having binged through 28 chapters of a manga is not a thing I would have expected of myself. You guys haven't had a discussion in the anime thread, have you?

    People often ask questions like "How can those [CEOs, directors, other business-ey people] do [obviously terrible thing]?" and the answer appears to be because you're literally trained to in school.

    I have this big case study I'm working on right now where a company has to decide on the financials of building a railway either through an semi-endangered* bird sanctuary or somebody's farm. The guy who owns the farm is threatening legal action, and he employs a bunch of people from this small town.

    Halfway through the problem I realized that it would in no way be financially viable to do it via the farm route (when you work out all the figures, the possible legal fees outweigh the mere fact that birds can't sue you). How do I know I'm right? Because the question literally told me to make a financial case for mowing through the bird sanctuary.

    The only actual threat to me in this scenario is some environmental activists, who are called "pressure groups" by the question because like obviously who cares about birds when some randos might pressure you into not making a financially viable decision.

    I have to get into the wordy bit of the question now and every time I write something in support of destroying the birds' home I feel very slightly guilty.

    *the "semi" is important because if they were just endangered birds then I'd have to put government regulation into consideration.
  • That's why everyone should be learning how to calculate beams' stresses instead.

    Think of all those trains going choo choo tho

    I wonder what's the secret to becoming internet famous, I'm gonna need to know when I get serious about 3D modeling. Any day now.

    I really don't know. There's this guy called Suresh NY who does the best doll reviews ever (this isn't even like hyperbole, it's just objectively true). He puts lots of work and effort into being informative and will even get IRL doll people to come on his channel and discuss their work.

    Like actual people who work for Mattel and Integrity Toys or just specialist doll makers and they'll be like, genuinely amazing interviews that go into personal stuff and interests aside from the obvious focus on their work.

    So of course he struggles to break 2k views at all on YouTube ever.

    I hit 300 hits, finally. This month alone I got 43 entire views from... Australia.

    I got another Private Message with an offer from some "publishing" house (JustFiction Edition). Looking these guys up online, they apparently do publish things for real and they even hand over real royalty cheques but it's all super-shady and the cheques are hyper-tiny. They also claim lifetime ownership of your work, which is... something, I guess.

    I'd like to think this is because my writing is good enough (I don't think there's a bot that sends PMs to fictionpress authors, at least, so somebody has to type out/copy-paste the stuff at least) but maybe I just fit the profile of a desperate author.

    I've read Jet Li refused a role in Matrix, because they wanted to record all his moves and then use them for motion capture or whatever without asking. Like, the contract would give them legal rights to his body's movements.
  • There's been a change in my internet plan, now it's 1.2 GB per month which of course I already spent unknowingly. The opacity is frustrating. I gotta get a different plan, but I don't think there are many options available. also I guess I won't be posting for a while.

    Awwwwww.

    Well we'll miss you.

    Stay safe in the meatspace world. :)

    Nevermind, it's 12 GB, that's much better. I guess I'll be back in a week when the monthly allowance resets.

    I thought it'd take longer but I'm back now, just in time for Halloween. I'll have to be extra careful with bandwidth from now on though.

    I'm a bit late, but happy bday anyway.

    (edit: or actually not that late, I guess)

    Halloween is over, sadly.

    I wonder if I should switch back to my old avatar or try and find something new.

    Went to a convention, gave a talk there. Folks didn't seem moved by Shrek but lol'd at pope meme.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Was it a talk on memes?

    Definitely not. (Actually ancient arms.)
