Do you want to keep Quail?

After some thought... I teach a quail care class locally, it takes roughly 2ish hours, 3 max. I've been told a few times that people are too far to come to it or they would, or asked if I would do an online one for non-locals.

So, if I were to offer an online class about quail care, would you want to attend? I would probably set it up on zoom unless I find a better group video chat method (maybe a private youtube stream or something?), and it would be free or at least low-cost.

Would you attend an interactive online class about how to care for coturnix quail?

Yes, but only if it was completely free

Yes, but only if it was less than $5

Yes, but I may have other restrictions (tell me in notes)

Yes, I'm in!

No but I want to see the answers

Remaining time: 1 day 4 hours

#i voted for “free” b/c i realistically don't have the resources to actually raise quail right now but i'm interested in learning #i'd deffo be willing to pay if i intended to actually use the info in the immediate future #but right now i'd only attend out of curiosity #poll #animal husbandry

Do you think Andalites would like being combed down like horses?

Yes

Only Ax (freak)

Only Elfangor (weirdo)

Everyone but Ax

It's a cat situation, where unless you do it exaaaactly right you die

It's a chinchilla situation, where it's physically impossible but people still t

It's an octopus situation, where it's super weird for everyone involved

What the hell is an andalite?

Other [specify]

#poll #animorphs #i think andalites are a social herd species with hands so they probably have some aspect of social grooming #so in general probably yes #however they probably have very strict social rules about it #and it's probably Weird to be groomed by a non-andalite #also i'm fairly certain they have short thin fur? not the density that would make for dust bathing and impossible grooming like chinchillas

For NON FFXIV people

so,

in ffxiv there are dragons

and this one particular country has been in a war with them for 1k years

also, these dragons can fly and breathe fire, you know, normal typical western dragon things

so poll time

which of these 2 weapons do you think is used for said war

Gun:

Spear:

which weapon do you think was designed by the rednecks to fight dragons?

A spear (sharp pointy stick)

A gun (as if the 10th Doctor designed it.)

for ffxiv players who want to see the consensus

Remaining time: 2 days 11 hours

now i am doing this in good faith and hope like hell you won't google the game

you'll just pick an options based off personal beliefs of what wizard rednecks would pick to fight dragons

oh, and also, do not give the answer in teh reblog tags, please and thank you

i just want to know the Vibes

#i've never played or even more than glanced at FF14. all my knowledge of it comes from posts like this #that being said i have played most of the pre-FF13 games. so i'm fairly confident that it's #spear #b/c 1. ff has a whole class of “people who kill dragons with spears” (dragoons)#and 2. that's the significantly stupider option ESPECIALLY if you actually have guns and industrial tech. so obviously-

I get so many comments on my fics that are basically "wow I'm so glad you didn't drag this misunderstanding/miscommunication out any longer than necessary!" And as nice as it is that they liked how I handled it, it's almost more gratifying to get confirmation that I am far from the only one who does not enjoy that trope.

#I do love a good conflict grounded in misunderstanding/miscommunication#but it's gotta be an interesting and understandable and believable misunderstanding/miscommunication#if the conflict could be solved with one simple conversation then why aren't the characters having that conversation#if there's a reason for it (and the reason isn't just “because that would break the tension”) then carry on 😌

the problem with movie remakes is that they always remake something that was already good, meaning at worst you ruin it and at best your remake is largely redundant. to make a truly good remake you need to start with source material that is absolute dogwater. ignore the pull of nostalgia. redeem the sins of moviemaking past.

this is how morbius can still win

This is why I sincerely think we should remake Zardoz. I wanna see a Zardoz that is good (or at least wildly differently bad, if they fail).

random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google

I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.

also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo

also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)

yomikoreadsbooks

Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…

i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:

Search Engines

Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy

DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)

WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.

Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.

Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.

Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines.

Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted.

Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy.

Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.

Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden.

MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.

Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching.

Oscobo is a search engine that protects your privacy while you search the web. By not using any third-party tools or scripts, your data is protected from hacking and misuse. Has a Chrome extension to allow use in toolbar.

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results.

https://www.mojeek.com/

https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites.

https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.

https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.

https://yep.com/ is a crawler

https://www.etools.ch/ retrieves from Google, Mojeek, Bing, and Yandex, like Searx

update when markiplier announced he's producing the dvd/blu-ray himself i was like cool he's personally supervising the process and then he was like no i mean i'm making them myself at my house and i imagined some kind of complicated gargantuan contraption dutifully chugging along 24/7 blowing up this man's electricity bill and then he was like

anyway if you buy an iron lung dvd/blu-ray: it was made on a printer-sized machine. at markiplier's house.

god it’s so sad living in an allocentric world. There are so many relationships that are so complex and nuanced that are all put under the label of ‘romantic’ and immediately all the intrigue is taken from it. Like don’t you realize that these relations are actually ENHANCED by the fact that they are not romantic or sexual?

astronomical-bagel

NOOO DONT PUT THE CHARACTERS IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP YOURE TAKING OFF THE SEASONING!!!!

"I would do anything for you; I would cross worlds for you; I would kill for you; I would die for you" etc in fictional romance= tired and expected

from a boss to their employee= what the fuck is happening there

Everyone say thank you to trans femmes for showing us a version of femininity born from joy and desire instead of just through coercion

Everyone say thank you to trans mascs for showing us a version of masculinity born from joy and desire instead of just through coercion

Everyone say thank you to all people outside of the cis gender binary for showing us a version of gender born from joy and desire instead of just through a simple frame work in which our oppressor have used to kill, erase, and censor us.

Thank you for showing us the existence of a history before and a future ahead.

mx-seraph

Everyone say thank you to all the agender and gender apathetic people showing us that gender is something you can opt out of if nothing in it sounds appealing at all, finding joy and desire outside of the concept altogether

#queer #trans #gender feels #yesss everything positive i learnt about gender i learnt from watching others play and experiment with theirs

Fanfiction is insane. You can write porn so good you make friends.

cannedinternets

Alternatively, you can become great friends with someone b/c you're both insane about the same media, and then you write porn for/with one another about it.
