This country desperately needs a functional mental healthcare system.

I Frankenstein (2014). Aaron Eckhart as the monster who gets pulled into a centuries long war between demons and gargoyles. It tries to capitalize on the success of the Underworld franchise and goes nuts with CGI effects. It’s objectively bad but it’s also FUN. If you shut off your brain and don’t overanalyze, its a blast.

I think pansexual should be for people who would fuck an alien who has no corollary on the human gender spectrum.

The Dalai Lama goes up to a hot dog vendor and says make me one with everything.

Edit: The Dalai Lama pays for the hot dog with a $20 bill, but the vendor doesn’t give him any money back. The Lama asks for his change. The vendor says change must come from within.

How many impressionists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two. One to paint the giraffe blue and the other to fill the bath tub with ping pong balls.

To me it all depends if the hobby is about the prints or the printer. If you just want to make stuff with minimal tinkering and effort, Bambu is what you want. If you want to customize, tweak, optimize, etc, then Prusa or Elegoo are both solid choices.

There are a bunch, but I think this is the original.

If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and find the video of the Asian guy reading this.

Oh God, the flashbacks. I had an ex who did this but accidentally dyed their hair pitch black and freaked out even more.

Reminds me of this awesome response to criticism of Shadowrun being inclusive.

There is a very good reason why Shadowrun has taken pains to be inclusive in its character options and in the universe that those of us currently writing have been lucky enough to work on in its nearly thirty year history. It’s not only because making the world inclusive is the right thing to do; and it’s not just because the Player Characters are presumed to be from the marginalized, downtrodden, and ignored parts of society that are now and are in the Sixth World reserved for or otherwise filled with racial, ethnic, gender, religious, and other minorities (or majorities—numerosity doesn’t necessarily translate to political power); but at the end of the day, being an inclusive and open world is the right business decision.

This criticism is the desperate cries of dinosaurs as they struggle against the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction. It’s loud and violent, and in the end it’s just as successful.

While this tumblr is supposed to represent the Shadowrun tabletop game, the entire universe and all of the properties share these same traits and considerations. Shadowrun, in video game or tabletop RPG or novel or any other format, will continue to move forward and I expect that D&D, Pathfinder, etc. and Beampod will also continue to move forward because the future is open and inclusive. And if you don’t like it, too bad.

UPDATE: To be clear, these negative comments are in no way “criticism” of the game. It’s whining by bigots trying to impose their own biases on commercial enterprises that have made their position on their fictional universes and in who they hire and promote to continue those universes. This whining does not deserve anything more than to be ignored.

If you don’t like it, you’re free not to buy the product.

I think it’s like cars for car guys vs cars for people who just want to get from place to place. I started with Elegoo and got really sick of all the fiddling it took to get a decent print. I got a Bambu and it just works. I know it’s a “walled garden” but in the end I can print whatever model I want and it comes out great most of the time.

I had deviated septum surgery. Took 2 years and $20k but breathing through both nostrils for the first time in my life was worth it.

Apparently there is a certain amount of inbreeding with cattle, but several large herds without any interbreeding with cattle are closely managed to prevent inbreeding.

Paradoxically, I think we have both overmedicalization and a lot of people going untreated who need it. We are still pretty bad at identifying issues early and our for-profit healthcare system blocks a lot of people from being treated who need it. Often having mental health challenges itself limits people’s ability to access treatment.

The national anthem of people who love the status quo!

My favorite one of these unconscious linguistic rules is expletive infixation. We say “fan-fucking-tastic” but “fanta-fucking-stic” sounds completely wrong.

Mutants are the next stage in human evolution. Canonically they are stronger, faster, tougher, and heal faster than regular humans. It’s not unreasonable to think they age slower and live longer as well.
