The gazebo is in the right, the rogue shot first

A lot of people in this thread appear to be pretty hard on themselves. There seems to be a trend of people who want to be nice, are trying to be nice, but don't see themselves as nice. If that sounds like you, then I've got some good news for you:

You are a nice person.

If you're sincerely making the effort to be a better person then that's admirable. Self improvement is hard. Too often people are quick to judge based on the result of your actions rather than the effort that's put into them. To put it another way, we judge people by their actions but judge ourselves by our intentions.

Treat yourself to the niceness that you're trying to show to other people. You're doing the best you can. You're trying to be a nicer person which means you're trying to grow. From tiny seedlings grow mighty oaks, and the seedling shouldn't be shamed for starting its journey. Rather, it should be encouraged to keep growing.

If you find it difficult to be nice, but you're trying to be a nice person, I'd say that's a lot nicer than being the person who dismisses another for not being 'nice' enough.

I just shared this with my wife because she's an artist and hates AI as much as I do.

Apparently she made an account last night.

"Red tape" is a pretty common idiom here. It's similar to bureaucracy, but it's more like the useless stuff you have to deal with in order to do something.

Say you want to update your driver's license and you need to bring in some ID and fill out a form. That's regular bureaucracy.

If you want to feed the homeless so you have to get a permit for an event, prove your volunteers have food-handling training, fill out forms for your volunteers, notify the police that there will be a public gathering, schedule an inspection of the facility, etc, that's red tape.

Another way to look at it might be that Bureaucracy describes the system in which offices communicate with each other, and Red Tape are the tasks/forms/whatever you have to complete in order to get what you want approved.

I like seeing your art in my feed.

I don't really have an eye for critique, especially with abstract stuff, but this one stands out to me.

Keep it up!

Most seals subsist on fish, but depending on the species they may also eat crustaceans, krill, or penguins

The headline implies that trailers at some point stopped giving away key plots.

Then again, I stopped watching trailers a while ago, so maybe I never noticed that they had stopped.

My buddy has a homemade Hobbes doll that his mom made in the comics' heyday, it's like his most prized possession.

I highly recommend Godot for a new developer. I made the switch from Unity and it's just been a pleasure to work with. I'm actually unlearned a bunch of patterns I had to use with Unity because Godot makes things even easier to access .

I don't know if it's got any kind of support for retro systems though

Ah, well you can definitely build for Android with it then. I haven't personally, but so far every other platform I've built for has just been a few clicks and away you go

One thing I try to avoid when I'm writing is when two words repeat. Kind of like your example "the thing is is that." If I catch myself writing it, I try to rearrange the sentence.

Although a pretty extreme example tickles me:
"The cookie he had had had had no effect on his appetite."

I like that you have art of your wall art. It's like seeing a play within a play.

I wonder what the ethics of marinating a creature alive is. Like, I'd be willing to try eating a bug, but I don't want my meal to suffer any more than it has to. Then again, I'm not sure Worcestershire is acidic enough to hurt it.

I wonder what would happen if you sat in a bathtub of Worcestershire for a few hours

One time I saw my ex was walking down the street I was walking up, so I crossed the street to avoid them. Then they crossed the street, so I just walked back across

So wait, you're telling me I could just be walking down the street, minding my own business, when some jerkass wizard from another universe merges our realities or whatever to heal my doppelganger? I'm out 6 HP because of some guy who doesn't live in my universe and I don't even like got hurt?

I'm imagining as a consequence to doing this all the time, eventually the wizard is going to have a class action lawsuit against them from all the innocent bystanders they've hurt. And just imagine the legal complexity of serving all these suits across different universe' legal codes. This wizard's going to be bogged down for an eternity in the courts.

In all the multiverse, there's got to be someone who specializes in parallel-universe case law. A Parallelalegal, if you will.
