Looks like @staff mistakenly censored this comic, which is an ironic and very funny thing to happen

Here it is again. You might want to save it just in case an accident like that happens again

EDIT: HMM. LOOKS LIKE OP WAS BANNED TOO. WHAT A FUNNY. IRONIC. ACCIDENT

someone is weird to you about intimacy as a kid and then you grow up into an adult seemingly incapable of having a sexual encounter that isn't some weird and confusing multi-people areangement or straight up rape. and all you can do about it publically is make surrealist sex jokes bc sex is a surreal expirience.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but it feels like a lot more drivers are being honest about their opinions on the new regs lately? Like it feels like most drivers have been frustrated about the cars pretty much the whole season, but didn’t want/weren’t allowed to say it out loud because pr and fia and shit. So I wonder what has changed over the last few weeks???

100% its affected by the media shift around the regs itself, we are seeing more and more general media coverage over the issues now than we show months ago

meaning that making comments against the regs now wouldnt make you stand out individually as much

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

Unfortunately this piece became unusable because of the rip in the paper, however it's one of my personal favourites because I painted it from a memory of my childhood in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. I keep in a frame by my bed.

Paper: Fabriano Artistico/ 100% cotton/ cold press

Brushes: Da Vinci Petit Gris Pur mop, Escoda Optimo liner/ Silver Black Velvet rounds

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

Constantly thinking about how funny it was when my best friend watched my house for a few days, and messaged me and asked "okay so I let the dogs out, they pottied. How do I....get them back in???" And I just said "You tell them to come in? Just say 'Lets go inside!' or 'come here puppies!' or just call their names or something and they will come in."

And he was like "wtf. That worked. They just come in when you tell them to???"

And that was when I remembered he's a cat person. Like RIGHT. Cats don't just come inside because you asked.

Study finds nearly every pre-2010 video game is unavailable

Games from older consoles are being made less and less available to the point so much of the industry's history could easily vanish without

Vimm's Lair: Preserving the Classics

Preserving classic videogames from consoles past.

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

[anachronic-cobra]

I've been using Vimm's Lair for years, I have yet to see a single bad link or virus on the entire site. It's arguably the safest and most comprehensive archive of video games in existence. Preserved history

I will always care more about the supportive cishet boyfriend at pride than i will about the wannabe cop queer person interrogating every “straight looking” couple to make sure they’re “queer enough” to be there btw. Don’t worry about your cishet boyfriend, he’s sitting with me eating an ice cream wearing a homemade little pride bracelet around his arm and he is the happiest he’s ever been in his life :]
