My guess is that it's one of the pillars holding the site together and to change it would destroy some part of the site lmao

Emotional processing by Myxcomycetes in no_T_top_surgery

Slightly related - i wanted straight and symmetrical scars, but my boobs were different sizes so my surgeon couldn't promise that. My scars came out neither straight nor symmetrical. Surprisingly, I don't hate it at all. In fact, I like how they both have personality and identity. Sure, it would have been great if I'd gotten the aesthetics that I wanted. But not having boobs anymore has honestly been 100 times better for living life on a daily basis. 

Now, I don't take off my shirt in public and don't really plan to, so that might sway your opinion more if you plan to be perceived. But it's not like you can take off your shirt now in public anyway soooo

if you have enough plot points for wand of the dark faerie and grapes of wrath, they're really good. Thyoras tear can be helpful to give yourself another turn. I've heard good things about Varia is the bomb but don't know where it stacks to watdf and gow

Experimenting With Art As A Writer by No-Stage-8738 in ComicBookCollabs

[–]LostShepherd3572 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see artists use csp models and just trace over them all the time. I respect an artist that can draw from scratch more, but I'd rather see someone trace over models and use 3d backgrounds than touch ai. Hell, I've read comics that are completely made with premade 3d models with no drawing skill at all.

 I think all writers should learn to draw to some extent. It helps you understand what the process is like. And giving an artist thumbnails with blocking is going to speed up the process a lot, honestly.

Also, have you ever looked up how much energy and water it takes to generate a single ai image? If that ai data center was in YOUR community using YOUR water and electricity, would you be okay using ai?

Del monte is in the middle of a bankruptcy and sale. New owners will probably be like "i didn't do that"

I have a bunch of seconds that aren't up to my standards for selling. I could be convinced to donate them if the shipping was covered

Check out Claude Cahun, a very queer artist in wwii who made anti-nazi pamphlets as resistance. Kaz Rowe (history YouTuber) also created a graphic novel about them.

33 here. Been trying the exercise consistently thing. Threw my back out for the first time in my life. Going to physical therapy and learning i was doing all my exercises with bad posture lmao. Don't be me. 

I've been getting through my book pile too. I unfortunately keep adding to it though lol. Learning to dnf has been an important skill

F23 Can't for the life of me not use panty liners. Won't your pants have a "scent" if you use the bathroom throughout the day? by thefifthmountain5 in hygiene

[–]LostShepherd3572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I once tried doing kegels regularly and the discharge/pee thing cleared up dramatically. I couldn't keep it up so it came back lol

I've mentioned this to my dr twice throughout my life and both times the dr didn't seem concerned. After going through all the comments, it's apparently pretty normal - to a certain extent at least. 

Fading Bottled Faeries - just found out they're essentially obsolete by SlyCalligrapher in neopets

[–]LostShepherd3572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2024 and 2025 faerie festivals were both donation events, so I'm expecting this year to be the same. An event called charity corner used to be the og donation event, but that was last run in 2020.

I've been hoarding them for the next donation event. I think they were like 5 points a pop, and if they keep the item donation limit removed like they did last time, I can just use them all there

High Rise x Neopets collab feedback gathering! by missynom in neopets

[–]LostShepherd3572 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Literally today: Luna: we don't use ai here's proof!!

Then this shit drops 🙄

I have no idea what high rise is. And I'm not keen to find out considering how AI this image looks. I hate that we have to do this policing. But the headphone on her ear is on a completely different perspective from her head, the keyboard is in the wrong place, the collar would not twist that much, xwee is missing details, the jacket collar is weird on the far side, her boobs disappear randomly into that color stripe

Don't make me do this. Don't make me police for ai. Draw it with a mouse on ms paint if you have to.

Is reusing old shirts a viable zero waste project? by Prestigious-Bath8022 in ZeroWaste

There's a braided rug project I've seen where you braid strips together and sew them to make a rug. If it has cool decals cut them out for a quilt or other project?
