I did not like this. I wanna cry now. I'm never going on tiktok.

these should be considered animal abuse

These are so 😍 and their use of shapes and designs is so creative. I feel it's more spring coded though.

I love the designs. The colors are nice and the cuts really suit the models.

The mommy force is strong in this one. Jokes aside, beautiful art by the way, really encapsulates Syndra and the theme is a really good fit. Amazing use of colors.

The literally only impressive thing about SpaceX Starship test is that it shows how incredibly dumb the audience is at this point.

People keep comparing Starship to SaturnV, because tentatively, if it ever became a space worthy vessel and orbital delivery vehicle (it's not); it'd be the largest and most powerful one in history, with SaturnV its only near peer (sorry, N-1, you really didn't qualify).

And the first "integration test vehicle" (read: the actually whole complete thing, that's literally the point of that kind of test; it's meant to be all the pieces, already tested and proven on their own, finally assembled into the final thing to make sure everything plays nice when together)

So lets see how did Saturn family development go in comparison? How many "integration test vehicles" did the Saturn project obliterate in the process?

ZERO. They blew up ZERO Saturn first stages, ZERO Saturn second stages, and ZERO Saturn payloads.

It's not fucking normal to blow up rockets this size and complexity, because they're expensive and dangerous! You build SMALLER, SIMPLER prototypes, you test those, you do all the "risky" tests on your separate parts of the system, and test the integration at less ambitious scales and stress levels. That's how you do rocket science. Iteratively, yes! But the iterations must make sense!

And let me stress

They got Saturn to moon and back in the SIXTIES, when simulation was in diapers (partially, literally invented within projects like the Saturn series).

SpaceX exists at a time where they can (and should) do 90% of the raw, grueling development with lot of painful failures in digital simulations, or tests where you build a small, simple thing and enhance the simulation based on what you learned there.

And the worst of it all is that another thing that Elongated Muskrat has at this disposal is all of the Saturn research. It's been DONE.

Saturn and other projects paved the worst of this goddamn slog. They did all the dirty, awful work already. They literally gave us the textbooks that you study from if you actually get a science degree (Elon does not have one).

And again, the most embarrassing thing isn't Musk and his poor, toxic, overworked circus that's SpaceX. The most embarrassing thing is the "space science enthusiast" crowd that's cheering on this launch as some sort of tentative success.

The king is fucking ass goddamn naked, and you all yes-men are an embarrassment to this doomed goddamn species. You're not supporting the effort to give Humanity a "chance at survival", you're hooting and hollering around a basementman dumpster fire that's literally immolating what's left of the scraps of natural and human resources we have left.

Here's what happened. When a rocket is launched, all the ignited fuel needs to go somewhere. It is usually diverted in tunnels. Elon decided it shall go nowhere. He exploded the rocket and it's launchpad so badly that it left a crater. This occurred on 20th April 2023.

The rocket exploding was normal. It happens to NASA too.

The crater in the launchpad was not normal and a completely preventable failure.

Make fun of him. He didn't make any arrangements for all the ignited fuels energy to go somewhere. But make fun of him the right way. Or else no one will join in on it.

Also please discuss the plight of all the exemplary people who had to follow this doddering fool's command. He funds everything so they have no choice. Let us remember the hard work they put into every other aspect.

“It’s not that big of a deal”

Can we like …STOP rushing to be the first to kiss that man’s ass ? Please ? It’s ok to laugh at his failures , I assure you

His rocket exploded like the piece of crap it was.

Hi.

This author is a friend of mine and I would heavily appreciate if you read their work. The effort they've put into writing this story is phenomenal. You can also find all sorts of updates on this story on their blog @midnight-favours-the-meek

Hi, I’m Ivy Curtain. I’m a writer who focuses on worldbuilding in contemporary fantasy. You can read my current novel, Midnight Favours The Meek on Wattpad and soon on AO3. It is a story about religious trauma, magic, love and finding happiness. I will update it every second week.

On this blog you can find extra content like the Mythology of the Patruh, artwork of characters or snippets before a new chapter will be published. No spoilers though.

A cursed bride, trying to make her family proud.

An outlaw still fighting for his people.

A diplomat looking to repay an old dept.

And a teen who seeks to finally break the cycle.

They won't find what they looking for and yet so much more.

The Patruh, last of the magical peoples, live among us humans in secret. Since ancient times they are hunted by a Christian secret society. Only in dreams they can be themselves and use their powers, in the magical city of Alasma.

Balria is the youngest daughter of the High priestess, looking for a betrothed in the high society of Patruh, when she gets cursed by the Goddess of the Lost. She has to appease the Goddess or find a way to lift the curse before anyone notices, or the reputation of her family is destroyed forever. Balria teams up with faithless outsider Tojas to find a break for her curse. But Tojas seems to have a motive of his own, a bold or reckless plan. And a heart for Balria.

Together, they uncover a secret that will shatter the very concept of magic.

God I love this design for Pavitr, it's so much better than that bland ass design from the comics.

I made this based on what you said (which is a 100% true)

There is so much fear-mongering about sharia law, when the actual fear should be from oppressive government institutions using Sharia law as an excuse to justify their actions. These countries say they follow sharia law and if someone dissents, they are called an enemy of state and executed. And whenever you use sharia as a representative of oppression of women, you effectively shit on those who died to protest against the hypocrisy and let the corruption win. This is not a friendly reminder. Sharia law is to resolve disputes with equal rights given to both men and women. It is very easy to defend all women instead of just one group of them. Malaysia and Indonesia also use Sharia law. While those countries do have problems with women's rights, those problems are completely different from middle eastern countries (more similar to India then Saudi Arabia). You don't see them being denied the right to work, right to education, being forced to wear or remove their hijabs .etc.

already seeing a lot of *drops comparisons to muslim countries*/*uneducated quips about sharia law*/*general fear mongering, racism and islamophobia*

The Samsung batteries? Pretty fucking well ig.

Even 5+ year old phones are still usable to this date.

Can't say that for Apple though

How much time did it take you to make these? How much time do you spend online? You are so hot for making these. 😍 You got them all on point 👉

Well, which is it Google? Chai is Indian tea which was introduced by Chinese monks along the Assam border and developed as an ayurvedic (plant medicine strain) drink.

Also, several people who are immigrants won’t be able to tell the difference as daffodils don't grow in their native place. Do they deserve to die for that?

James Wong is one of the most beleagured men on Twitter. Not only did he recently get fired from the Observer for publicly objecting to platforming a TERF, he has a bunch of idiots arguing that daffodils (toxic) bundled like spring onions and placed in the produce section next to other alliums isn't dangerous because people should "know better" somehow.

Marks and Spencer is a UK-based retailer with some stores in a few other countries as well. I haven't seen daffodils sold like this in the U.S., but this is your regular reminder that staff at any given store don't necessarily know how toxic the plant products they're selling are. If you see something like this, bring it to the store's attention and also notify their corporate office.

@duckytree @duckysprouts I thought you'd like this post.

Jason: (stubs toe) AH GAH F*CK THIS TABLE

Dick: Jay Language! You should be ashamed!

Jason: You. You taught me these words man.

Dick: (now sweating a little bit) Such foul language and now lies? You lie on the name of your older brother? I don’t know what I did wrong! Timber have you ever ever heard me curse?

Tim: …no?

Dick: exactly! You wound me Jacey!

Jason: you literally would party all the time and you once told this very table the exact same thing I just said!

Tim: … okay the joke was funny before but now you’re taking it a bit too far Jason.

Jason: WHAT? ME!?

Later he found a Polaroid of a younger Dick Grayson clothes in disarray, holding a bottle of tequila and dancing amongst several other people. Said photo has a note on the back that read “hope to see you again soon” next to a deep red kiss mark.

Jason: SEE I WASN’T LYING LOOK!

Tim: …This is really good photoshop! I thought you didn’t want to learn! But seriously can you drop this? You’re asking me to believe that the guy who calls me timbits did drugs. Its not gonna work.

Dick: (mouthing behind Tim) no one will ever believe you >:)

It is not a swap, the ai is trained to add textures and craters on top of the moon like all phones do to enhance photos, I am sick of telling people this, please watch mrwhosetheboss and MKBHD's videos on this. Please use your goddamn brains. Hell, you can go in settings and turn it off. Either the OP loves misinformation or they can't read.

I haven't seen it get mentioned on Tumblr yet but Samsung has just gotten caught in a hilarious scam: they apparently advertised how their latest phones can take great picture of the moon, compared to other phones!

But it turns out they aren't using machine-learning to clear up blurry pictures, they're using machine-learning to detect when you're taking a picture of the moon, and then they swap in a saved PNG file of the moon.

A reddit user figured this out by taking a photo of the moon from Wikipedia, blurring it in photoshop, then trying to photograph it from across the room with all the lights turned out.

Their Samsung phone somehow managed to "clear up" the blurriness and recover details that weren't there in the first place. Because it's just cheating.

She's pretty great

If a girl is to do the same superman thing where he takes off his disguise, we just look pervy. Not the same effect

I have cats and I call them dirty, naughty, witch and stinky but as a joke and affectionately. I love cats but I can't comprehend people who actively dream up how to hurt cats. Like I get telling an asshole cat that someone will punt them if they continue to act shitty but I knew someone who was told that this person wished they could kick a cat so hard it gets bruises. Unbelievable.

The difference between dog-people-who-don’t-like-cats and cat-people-who-don’t-like-dogs is just so staggering and, quite honestly, disturbing.

Most cat people who don’t like dogs either don’t like dogs out of fear or because they don’t want the big time commitment and responsibility that owning a dog brings with it (-> going on walks, going to dog training school) and that’s that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone do a general character assassination of dogs.

But dog people who don’t like cats will really go on about how cats aren’t… capable of love or some shit? How they don’t want an animal who sets personal boundaries - the most cited thing is always the “and they will just hit you at random” (when that’s not even true; cats hit ‘at random’ either due to trauma/abuse or because they have warned you beforehand to stop whatever behavior they dislike and you didn’t listen).

That’s just so wild to me. Cats have such an awful rep for, what exactly? Having personalities? Setting personal boundaries? Not being fucking stuffed toys?

All I’m hearing when people complain about that is that they want a stuffed toy they can pick up whenever they want and can cuddle however long they want and then put back on the shelf when they don’t want to play with it anymore and I’m sorry but you don’t want a pet at all, you want a stuffed toy.

A dog doesn’t deserve you either?? I may not have personal experience with owning a dog, but I somewhat suspect dogs to have personalities too? To want affection when they want it too, and to want to be left alone when they need downtime too…?

And cats show love. How is it that in the year 2023, when cat videos are not even just on YouTube but also on tiktok and are literally on everyone’s fingertips, that people still have the misconception that cats don’t show love or aren’t capable of love that’s so fucking messed up it’s just so severely fucked up.

Excellent first line. High expectations from here on out.

Neither.
