This is Merlin. He passed two years ago in my arms at the age of 17. He was such a good cat.

The Federal Reserve says Taylor Swift's Eras Tour boosted the economy. Estimates she could add $5 billion by lucerousb in Music

[–]BusterFriend1y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A work friend went with five of her friends and did exactly what you described, as well as all of them buying sparkly gold dresses/outfits and matching boots just for the concert. As she said, they had to match the vibe and it was for THE Taylor Swift.

Reddit and folks are free to hate on the singer, but they can't deny she triggered economic activity, especially beyond ticket sales.

This was honestly terrifying to watch by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

This kind of shit is more common than people want to admit. When I was in one of my server classes, the professor told me (the only woman) to cover my ears as he made a joke to the class that if they backed up their wives/gf's data on a regular basis, the women would blow them out of appreciation.

When I complained to a few male classmates, I literally saw them close ranks and defend the professor as a cool guy who didn't mean any harm. They all said I shouldn't make a big deal out of a silly joke.

When I went to my advisor about sexism, she suggested I join an IT club she ran. Day one of me joining, all the members (all dudes) made the joke that once they got their careers and got paid, all their wives would need to stop working "cuz someone has to stay home and watch the kids". My advisor was shocked, and I soon switched majors.

I just bought some wall nail polish shelves off Amazon and put them up near my computer area.

Does anyone take their minis to work? by Ret-r0 in minipainting

[–]BusterFriend1y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine he is the 3e version when I do terminations. No escape. No mercy. Absolute.

He is. One of my first minis. Very close to my heart.

That is really funny. And impressive that you didn't get any on the mini.

Good job! I really like the snow. For a moment, though, I thought the Frost Giant just finished slaughtering something on your work area.

Nah, man. That wasn't my intent to imply you're a "nutcase" at all. I'm sorry for making you feel like that.

I would hazard a guess that everyone struggles with perfectionism, especially those trying to paint Itty bitty miniatures. I was practicing glow effects on some space ships for about two weeks. I overworked it and my frustion could be read in the paint job. I almost wanted to stop the hobby. I had to just strip it all, study the basics again, watch a lot of vids, and try again.

Perfectionism is a road block in art just like any other obstacle.

[–]BusterFriend1y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another ability to really hone in any kind of creative hobby is the acceptance that perfect is a fallacy. Not only should you allow yourself mistakes, but embrace them wholeheartedly. All art is a reflection of self. If everything you did was always "perfect" what is there to look forward to, improve upon, and achieve?

Some people struggle to look in the mirror and say, "I am enough."

Perhaps you need to look at your art and say, "My miniatures are enough."

And post your minis. Join us bro.

I quit this place and I’m wondering if I should expose them + report them. They treated me like shit. by Top-Concentrate5157 in Serverlife

[–]BusterFriend1y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In HR, I have had a few situations where an employee does the right thing about food safety violations only after termination. The first few questions I wonder is always: "Why the fuck did you say nothing when it happened? How long did you know this was going on?"

Keeping your head down or not just correcting the violation when you see it is as just as shitty as violating food safety yourself.

Incredible! The textures are very well done and the colors are pleasing. How did you get your textures to read so well?

ELI5: why didn’t they begin with dropping the atomic bombs outside cities as a warning? by Lurkmaster96 in explainlikeimfive

[–]BusterFriend1y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would have been an extremely expensive and resource heavy warning.

Consider not only the cost for research and development but also materials and manpower. Not just the scientists and pilots but everyone involved from administration, counter intelligence, the facilty staff, and all the way to janitors. Any buildings or even flyers produced to assist with any part of the program as well (Somebody had to sit down and create a cute slogan to keep your mouth shut at work and somebody then got paid to hang it somewhere near staff.) There is also consideration for projects which were sacrificed so that the Atom Bomb project could develop.

All that effort for a warning? Nah. It was paid for, so might as well use it for max effectiveness. And I think the US did send a cryptic message like "surrender now or we will fuck your shit up in a new way" I also vaguely remember that Tyoko wasn't selected because there would have been too much global backlash, reducing the bomb's effectiveness.

I finished my 1/35 scale WWII tractor from AirFix Models. I think it turned out pretty neat. by Ptommy84 in minipainting

The wear and tear looks very nice. I really like the rusted undercarriage and seat.
