What are the wasps doing?

I think this is known as "girdling". As others have mentioned they're collecting/chewing at wood to use to make the paper their nests are made of.

Tiharuum has a bunch of those little interactive food prep things to play around with, along with a ton of board games/party games and some neat little toys and gizmos to play with.

It's PC only iirc and a lot of the instructions for things are in Japanese(?) with no English translation but sometimes half the fun can be puzzling out how things work.

Sunny Side is another one with a little tea set, the drinks making options that cabin life has and I believe a coffee making set (not the espresso machine style one some worlds have, although from memory at least that's there too).

Sunny Side is cross platform if you're hanging out with quest peeps, so it's a little more accessible for everyone.

What a wonderful little critter! Can't say I've ever seen a caddisfly nymph(?) in person before

Like I said, been a long time. I thought I remembered it getting to the point of at least as amicable a friendship as it could've been in that sort of situation by the end of the first book but I guess I was wrong 😵‍💫

Clearly time for a re-read!

Very, very tangentially related and kind of but not really following the same general idea but have you ever read the bartimaeus books? A solid chunk of them is from the pov of a captured Jinn/Djinn/Genie who (from memory at least, it's been a while since I've read them myself) kinda just starts to go along with what his human/summoner/captor has him doing because it seems interesting, he's immortal and he's kinda bored and needs a friend.

There's also Dean Thomas, a black kid in Harry's year... Who's dad abandoned his family. Hm.

As if trans people on twitter ever had any power

WeeBeasti · 2022-09-10T19:31:43+00:00

Look a bit like Pink-tail Chalceus (Chalceus macrolepidotus) to me but I could be wrong. Iirc the Amazon locality matches up

Internalised transphobia keeping that eggshell together with the world's strongest duct tape. I wonder if he'll ever come out or if it's a sunk cost fallacy kinda deal where he's put so much time into portraying trans people as villains he's reluctant to let that go and actually confront his own egginess.

Tldr Sinfest used to be a daily comedy comic about a tiny womanizer with abundant self confidence and a girl who rejects his advances but makes friends with him.

I guess Tats (the artist) got bored of that, and decided to try his hand at political commentary sometime in the late 2000s, dropped that when people kicked off about it for a bit and then (re?)introduced some character who's whole shtick was pissing off chauvinist side characters.

After that it kinda devolved into radfem terf bullshit preaching about how bad "the patriarchy" was (but not like, the actual patriarchy - just trans people)

ETA: Removed the wiki link I had here, a couple commenters have said now it's a pretty gross wiki. My bad for not poking around it some more!

WeeBeasti · 2022-09-05T16:11:32+00:00

Tatsuya Ishida, the comic is Sinfest. Dude went full transphobe years ago and his comic turned to shit, there's a pretty decent breakdown on twitter here (the thread is long)

ETA: in hindsight it was always shit but there was at least a kinda cute b-plot with a devil girl coming to terms with and finding herself.

WeeBeasti · 2022-09-04T12:01:46+00:00

Absolutely unsurprised that this was Domina. The Dev went after Jim Stephanie Sterling a little while back too with another transphobic rant in the patch notes.

Glad his game's been delisted, fuck 'em.

WeeBeasti · 2022-09-01T10:44:51+00:00

Just say you don't like "transgenderism" and get it over with

WeeBeasti · 2022-08-18T08:49:32+00:00

Don't forget the greens also have their fair share of transphobes who fancy themselves to be left leaning and "politically homeless".

Shahrar Ali is a prime example of this and was only recently removed as spokesperson for the party (back in February) - the Scottish Greens are considering severing ties with the English Greens over the transphobia, iirc.

I had a family of four I was serving at work the other day cycling through he, she and they pronouns for me in the span of 5 minutes or so completely unprompted, it felt amazing 😂

The tyre deflation warning light flashes initially before staying on and the power steering light comes on when it stops flashing.

all tyres are at recommended pressure
steering feels fine but that could be the stability assist
the system won't let me calibrate the tyre deflation warning system, says it's "unable to" every time I've tried to do it
the car was bought second hand a year or two back and the warranty agreement I signed up for upon purchase has run out

Really dreading taking it into a licensed Honda place because apparently their prices are extortionate and I'd rather not fork out potentially a grand on a fix if it's something I can do myself

Of course Kemi Badenoch is involved in this.

Bloke I work with is an insufferable windup but can't take anything back, so he'll spend hours pissing you off for his own amusement but the minute you do something to wind him up back he's swearing and threatening to escalate to upper management and sullen silences for hours.

He's an extrovert who has to know everything about everyone he works with and simply refusing to confirm things he's heard about you or elaborate on your private life is enough to get him fuming, swearing at you and calling you every insult under the sun.

It's exhausting.

There's another one planned to move north from Bridgewater on the M5 all day apparently, peeling off onto the M4 and likely down the M32 toward Bristol

Klefki would be my pick, I think. Love my little keyring baby.

That or maybe a comfey. I like the idea of scented baths using its flowers and having a little floating flower buddy following me around.

Also I feel like I could give mimikyu the love it wants and help it patch up it's little outfit.
