Fence posts

I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.

For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.

Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).

I recommend Bernadettes channel on this topic: link

Hmmm, ok what if the biters the critters themselves are stupid drones but the nests are sentient. Maybe the biters are like white blood cells part of the natural defenses of the nests. Something the “Brain” cannot control directly.

I am not saying this is the case or the developers thought that but it certainly is a possibility.

Sure sounds like something a colonizer would say.

I first wanted to “/s” this but it’s literally the reasons some colonizers used to justify atrocities. Btw it’s canon that the factorio guy is evil as confirmed by the developers.

I get it in the game there is no way of confirming or even researching the sentients of the bugs but be honest was it your first instinct to check if they are? I sure as hell didn’t. I mean they attacked me first, right?..right?! (Until you realize that you are killing them with your pollution)

I love that game design, even the music plays a role. Iirc it was designed a bit eerie as if something is wrong.

There are many ways of being evil, petting the dog does not make a truly evil character less evil.

A lot of real life evil people actually like animals at least when it suits them in my experience.

A bit off topic but there are games where you are absolutely evil but it’s not easily recognizable. For example factorio.

Most people consider themselves not evil.

I think you got wooshed

I mean I wasn’t really serious as we are in a shit post community right now.

But do you realize how fucking hard it is to keep US politics out of your experience here? So many seemingly unrelated communities post election bullshit it’s not even funny :/

I do think that the next presidential US election is important not only for Americans but the world. Although it really is tiring to watch from over here and I can only imagine how tired most Americans must be…

I would love not knowing about any debate but lemmy is like: Nope you’ll read American “news” if you want to or not.

So next time keep your national humiliation fetish private please

Don’t discriminate against them milkers!

This is waterfall method propaganda! It never works out this smoothly. They probably forgot important requirements like: the astronauts need to be alive on Mars.

Treating it like being sick (like a cold) helps me. That way I justify taking it slow. It’s something that will pass and it’s totally normal to feel really bad. It will probably be better soon but I need a lot of rest/self-care.

For the record I did not down vote but I can see how people dislike this kind of over enthusiasm for drugs still in trial. Many people got burned before by false hope :(

The American People?

It is and it’s a nice picture does remind me of the time I was in Finland.

Is it just me or is this image extremely low res?

Internationally? I know that in Germany there are cases.

What makes jobs real?

Text even completely fictional can be CSAM based on jurisdiction.

What’s wrong with calls?

Why are you surprised?
