depending on whims and circumstances this is potentially an addition to dr. mutable's universe, although more of a mad psychologist/evil hypnotist type rather than trying to compete on the TF territory

@cinnamon It’s a real nice guitar so I’ll take good care of it. Learning how to play with some friends is gonna be fun I’m sure. I have had my mind on the subject for some time now but never had the opportunity to really do anything till now.

The most recent person I tried commissioning got back to me after like four days of radio silence. Not the best experience so far but we’ll see.

To my complete surprise, my sister has decided to lend me her first guitar in the short-to-medium term so that I can learn how to play. I’m touched and look forward to learning a new medium of artistic expression for myself.

Talk about great expectations

The fact that NWS field offices are not able to operate 24/7 anymore in growing number of locations, & that offices servicing major population centers no longer have supervisory meteorologists in charge, & that radar techs are becoming unavailable, is highly alarming.

You ever just draft a commission with an artist and they go MIA mid-conversation?

Yeah. Happened twice now.

I just learned how to crouch jump and walk jump properly and I’m amazed. I’ve been playing CS for over 5 years and have no muscle of this so it’ll take time to get used to.

Apparently this isn’t how you play first person shooters #fps like #Counterstrike

Today In Labor History May 1, 1886: The first nationwide General Strike for the 8-hour day occurred in Milwaukee and other U.S. cities. In Chicago, police killed four demonstrators and wounded over 200. This led to the mass meeting a Haymarket Square, where an unknown assailant threw a bomb, killing several cops. The authorities responded by rounding up all the city’s leading anarchists, and a kangaroo court which wrongfully convicted 8 of them, including Albert Parsons, husband of Lucy Parsons, who would go on to cofound the IWW, along with Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood, Eugene Debs, and others. Worldwide protests against the convictions and executions followed. To honor the wrongfully executed anarchists, and their struggle for the 8-hour day, May first has ever since been celebrated as International Workers Day in nearly every country in the world, except the U.S.

Someone knocked all my shampoo bottles down. I asked the cat, but he didn't know either.

If you ever think you're not great at tech, web design or use cases you're almost certainly still better than the person who built this

i cant believe theyre letting actual babies on the internet now

Sometimes it’s okay to admit you bought something you didn’t really need (or no longer need) and resell it. It’s a time of new beginnings and spring cleaning. Make things simpler for yourself.
