Writing 祝你成为很会赚钱的人 (wishing you to become someone who earns a lot of money) with the use of shadows.
Context: OP posted a video using sand and a blade to write a character, and this video is a response to a joke comment on that video, which essentially said ‘please use a pen, I’m not joking, or I’ll call the police, you’re insulting me’
wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet
i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.
i have been verrry sick these few days, so i have been unable to create new art pieces, especially pieces for kudaugust ( ; ω ; )
however, i am starting to feel better and found the energy to create a somewhat self-indulgent piece of nobori taking care of an ill kudari (*ﾉ∀`*)
i’m counting this as the day 7 prompt: ‘childhood’ (not my initial aim for this piece but the chibi style makes it work shhh) and will perhaps attempt to catch up on the days i have missed ♡
thankyou to anybody who has reblogged, liked, and commented on my works ,, your words mean so much (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Look, I’m 52 years old. I used to be way more interested in how things worked. Now I’m interested in how they fail. I don’t care how good the administration of Bluesky or Threads is today— I care about what happens if it sours tomorrow.
Facebook has broken so many promises. Remember when Facebook opened up to the general public in 2006 with the promise of being the pro-privacy alternative to MySpace? Remember when they told us they’d never collect and mine our data? They are liars, and we shouldn’t trust them.
But a company doesn’t have to be run by venal scumbags to put its own interests ahead of its users.
Many is the tech CEO who reasoned that selling out their users was the moral thing to do, because the alternative was firing dozens or hundreds of people who trusted them, quit their jobs, and jeopardized their mortgages and kids’ college funds to come work for the company.
Seen in that light, selling out your users is actually an act of noble self-sacrifice, in which your loyalty to your friends trumps even your pride in delivering a high-quality product.
“ I have learned my lesson. I have no plans to ever again put effort or energy into establishing myself on an unfederated service. From now on, I will put more weight on how easy it is to leave a service than on what I get from staying. A bad service that you can easily switch away from is incentivized to improve, and if the incentive fails, you can leave. “
