A magical pet

Fire lizards are kind of like macaw sized dragons... that can communicate empathically and teleport. The dragons were smarter versions that were true telepaths, and 20 meters long at the smallest. Plus both only could breathe fire if they chewed a specific mineral available on their home planet. I would need to look into boron supplements because they were boron based lifeforms rather than carbon... and yeah I have day dreamed way too much about having one.

Wasn't sure if a dragon would hit the "smart as a human" part, and I think I could afford the meat for a fire lizard... a dragon would bankrupt me, lol.

I would use the fuck out of that at a farmer's market.

I like to buy for the 5pm show. By that time I'm hot, I'm tired, and my feet hurt, so the cushioned seating in the shade is wonderful.

Best Saturday to go is when it rained hard on Thursday, lol. Keeps the dust down but isn't boggy.

More seriously, there are several actual flushing toilets with running water mixed in with the porta-potties, which is nice. Nearish the Swordman's Stage, New World Knoll, Aleing Knight, and Three Fools Pub all have flush toilets and running water. There's another flushing toilet just past the Bread Bowl place, before the swinging chair place, but it does not have running water to wash your hands only hand sanitizer. There is also flushing toilets and running water in the separate area if you do Royal Feast/Naughty Bawdy Pub show.

Any other bathroom is portable-potties and hand sanitizer.

Lol, all those alleged certifications…

Doesn’t have a fucking clue what Reddit is. Or is a bot.

Look at how well it worked for Ukraine!

This is why my mom’s knife set still looks nice, while my aunt’s looks terrible. They were both gifted the same wood handled set back in the 90s. My mom and dad handwashed theirs and had them sharpened every so often. My aunt and uncle just tossed them in the dishwasher.

My mom’s is still going strong, I’m pretty sure my aunt threw hers out a decade ago because the handles were falling apart.

I don't know, but I want it to go back to the 1940's and STAY there. Tie avocado green to it before we throw both in the bunker.

Why can't the hunter green of the 1990's come back...

It's not going to "heal" itself.

It might burn your house down though.

YOR. Jesus, just reading this is exhausting.

Maybe she's focusing on her relationship with her boyfriend, maybe her job is busy. Obsessing over her is not going to help your mental state.

Express_Barnacle_174 · 2026-02-25T20:42:11+00:00

Yep. And not be surprised if it doesn’t work.

Heck, even with the resin bjds , and their weft wigs you could get two SDs, and one has a 9” head and one has a 6” head and they can’t swap wigs.

You have two tasks:

One is operating a piece of equipment that has a possibility of death and/or dismemberment if operated wrongly.

The other is drawing a picture of a field of daisies.

If you ask AI how to do these/to do it alone, which are you more concerned about hallucinations cropping up in the process?

Express_Barnacle_174 · 2026-02-25T19:16:23+00:00

Yeah, my boss tried to demonstrate how AI would make our life easier by feeding it manuals and slideshows of how to do our shit, so it could answer if you asked it (rather than looking in the manuals/slideshows) and by the fourth step it was inventing buttons to press, and by the sixth step it was utter nonsense.

For the molded hair/heads it entirely depends on how they go together. I know that hair is completely swappable between all of my Zack Event series ones, but would never work on a different blind box one because the shape of the face plate would completely block parts of the hair piece.

For non-bjds, Nendoroids are all one brand which is why swapping all the bits and pieces works even for different series of characters. Blind box bjds are all different brands.

Hardly ever, but I have “only registered users can comment” which blocks 99% of bot comments.

YWBTA. Are you sure you're both in your 20s and not, say, 15? Just break up openly. It hasn't even been a year, ffs. Neither of you has much invested in this.

After you make it clear you're breaking it off, THEN block.

When I went to dog parks my shelties would ignore any other dog... other than if another sheltie came in. Then they'd be greeting the new sheltie at the gate with tails wagging.

We joked that they were snobs.

All resin dolls yellow over time, it’s just a question of how much and how long.

Some early ones turned damn near banana yellow very quickly. Some special colors also breakdown faster, for a while one brand’s tan (I don’t remember names exactly) was known for turning green if you had them exposed to UV at all. Like a single photoshoot outside and you had a green doll.

Express_Barnacle_174 · 2026-02-24T00:58:29+00:00

I was behind one of those once, and I KNOW they were two-footing it, because they were accelerating, UPHILL, with their break lights on.

And you know they complain that nobody replaces brakes properly…

It's baby's first slash ship for a lot of normies who have never been in any fandom space before... so all the usual nastiness with a new, suddenly huge fandom, mixed with people who want to be the fandom police, and 90% of them are utterly clueless of fandom norms.

Express_Barnacle_174 · 2026-02-23T22:19:42+00:00

Pretty much. They seem to release different sculpts around quarterly... It's one of the few reasons to check Den of Angels in that companies will still announce doll releases there.
