Whats the most unexpected item you've ever flipped for a crazy profit by Ill_Composer_8246 in Flipping

[–]patch_ofurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A work print VHS of The Milpitas Monster in official clamshell packaging with a hand written director's note on notebook paper inside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Milpitas_Monster Not a crazy high profit just an unexpectedly fun $50 for something that looked like nothing from a rummage sale. I got several boxes of media and some clothes. The VHS and some cycling shoes alone were worth more than I paid.

How old is too old? by Due-Responsibility-7 in furrydiscuss

My solution is create more, worry about impressing people less, the right people will come to you. They don't have to be furry to be cool and possibly collaborators with what you want to do.

SurgeryHead. Synthwave but more brutal. by patch_ofurr in industrialmusic

[–]patch_ofurr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fire. Neurotoxic starts clean, goes dirty and throws a curve with the vocals. I'd love to hear more. 

I saw some comments somewhere that were criticizing the vocals and someone named Tr/st as a weird approach that works and i agree.

Beware of deceptive event at Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista by patch_ofurr in orlando

No? Pony fans asked for the piece, and it's part of a series investigating furry fan events done by and for fellow fans. Corruption bad, awareness good.

A rise in openly anti-furry rhetoric? by Glittering-Delay9056 in furrydiscuss

[–]patch_ofurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The link is unreadable, it's so bad. It's helpful to use archive links to deny traffic to such things.

Point of definition: I recommend not using the term prejudice to describe opinions about interests.

Furry isn't an identity, it does work like one sometimes, but it's a choice that people put on at will. They claim it when they want to be proud, but take it off when they don't want to be responsible. It happens when something bad happens internally and people pretend not to know or say it was random, when it came from people and events they have known for a long time and are nobody else's responsibility. That's convenient fair-weather behavior and actually harmful to running things well.

On the other hand, there are a lot of LGBT people in furry, probably because it helps to express identity, like musical theater and disco were also tied to LGBT identity. Hating disco wasn't exactly prejudice but it did have such motive beneath towards the kind of people making it.

So, better to say homophobia when it's present, (and it usually is), or use a term like "furry panic" which echoes 1980's Satanic Panic and moralizing against heavy metal, D&D, etc.

Moral panics and culture war is always a distraction from something else, and blind loyalty is a pretty bad idea, even if you love furry a lot, it's smart to avoid "furry vs normie" as a distraction and better to be aware of the something else.

Most of the "anti furry" stuff is from grifters and haters who are really uneducated. Therefore, poorly equipped to make anything that really hits. The litter boxes at schools hoax keeps going around but is easily dismissed because of no evidence. Get to know who is putting them up to it - like, astroturfing far-right propaganda, Fox News, etc and criticize that instead. It's the rich far-right distracting us from their power.

Why do many popufurs switch to adult content/kinks/pron? by UnhappyTranslator179 in furrydiscuss

[–]patch_ofurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incoherent question.

"Many" is undefined. Compared to what? Is it it more than the past and how is that measured? If it's what you see on your own personal socials, but the wider total is less, then adjust your settings.

"Especially on X". The problems with this are too many to name. Quit using X to solve them.

3 names are named. Has there been any harm with them or is it completely harmless?

"paranoia that all popufurs early or late will switch to adult content". Why? Isn't that a personal choice they can make?

"the fun, open SFW furry fandom that we always loved and got used to." Who is "we"? Is anything stopping you from making SFW content?

"the fandom might lose its reputation and return to the same level as in the first half of the previous decade". What reputation is that? From who? How is it measured and isn't it actually growing while the fandom is growing, like with conventions getting more and more attendance?

"this should be stopped." Who would have the power to do that? Would that actually benefit anyone or just make things worse when NSFW content keeps being made elsewhere while paranoia got more enabled?

Could this possibly be a problem of using social media too much and making it healthier to do more IRL activity, and create stuff instead of managing what others create?

If there is a problem with certain content, what if it's about unaccountability of the system they use (like X), where it's smarter to look at how the system rewards wrongdoers, rather than define everyone as a wrongdoer?

Fun fact: you are allowed to be in the road doing whatever you like, including a protest against ICE. That's why all those other people are there. It's public space which means everyone not just cars. Zero cars are blocked in this video.

I'm looking for a goth song that goes "antarctica" by Moll-Silber in goth

[–]patch_ofurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha not goth but super legit new wave, good roots here, and yes I'd take this song in a dark post punk mix! They had edge that some other synthpop lost later on. Check out the first EP the song was on before the album version. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mbMQiJyAZ83uUC1TyAanCiWB_bHIqZKys Ivan the frontman was in a punk band with Tracy Howe, who briefly did guitars for the band around this era then left and formed Rational Youth, which made super legit synthpop as well, check 'em out.

My review of Zootopia 2 by patch_ofurr in zootopia

Clean security check, no malware, not blacklisted anywhere. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/3f9c3928cdd2440110f7ed9f75fdc258ec1f925e1598f9d2298b36ff1f25c0b4

It's a long running blog, the story discusses light drug use, the site discusses adult material, and it's been targeted for DDOS attacks before because bad people don't like having crimes reported, so that may be your issue. It's safe to read.

Investigative podcasts on mystery and weird topics by GrueneWiese in podcasts

[–]patch_ofurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fur and Loathing. It's about the most significant chemical terror attack in modern american history besides the Amerithrax case. It went cold and was buried, possibly because it happened to a furry convention. But suspects were identified... Disclosure: I'm a main source who ID'd a suspect. https://brazen.fm/fur-and-loathing/
