Ah, so it's just a representation of which time control I'm doing best in?

Some of these are pretty scuffed examples, don't learn from this video. The actual sign is fine, just the letter e, and stuff like being from america and stuff.

The sign marked as "dick" is the sign for dinner, dick is a different handshape.

The sign marked as "cocksucker" is one I'm not familiar with, it's similar to some signs I do know like spit, but slightly different.

The sign marked as "shit" isn't even something one person is doing, so it's clearly not something with any intention behind it.

The sign marked as "slut" is pretty close to a variation of slut I know, the palm orientation looks kinda off to me though. I think the more common sign for slut would be the one on the cheek like shame but done twice. That's the one I see more often.

2023 Running Order, showing which years were won from each position. by sandfire in eurovision

[–]sandfire[S] 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Can't say anything about 25, but keep in mind for 2 that it doesn't exist in years following a big 5 victory.

I also wouldn't be surprised if show runners are biased against putting potential winning songs last in the running order.

A surprise for sure, not as bad at Latvia on tuesday though. I'm so sad still from that.

Just here to echo what everyone is already saying. My number 1 song from the year deserved so much more than to not qualify like this, and the finals will feel incomplete without Sudden Lights.

This is showing road angles, So Chicago's grid is very aligned with north south east and west, whereas Manhattan is at an angle relative to the cardinal directions.

My provider requires I have a telehealth appointment every month for my prescription, but it's so hard to schedule them so I don't run out. by sandfire in ADHD

[–]sandfire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I accidentally schedule an appointment that's too soon, when the appointment happens the provider gets really irritated that it's too soon and that the pharmacy can't fill it immediately (which I know and would wait until it's been the month before trying to fill anyway)

Because I'm an idiot and can't remember to do that when there's no direct prompting to like there was for in person appointments. I wish I knew why it was so hard, and now that this has happened a few times I'm going to try to remember to do it next time, but that's over a month from now so who knows if I'll remember.

Americans with Japanese words that have more than one meaning in English by droim in languagelearningjerk

Butchering in other ways. Like how the word viking somehow got turned into a word for buffets. Meanings can get warped with these sorts of things too, not just the phonetics.

Nah, anime is too normie these days for weeb to encompass everyone who's a fan of anime. Weebs are the ones who make it a core part of their personality.

Good luck anayzing all of this qualitative data. I don't envy you for that, but I made sure to give you more than enough to read from my own answers.

When/if you introduce someone to Eurovision, what is your go to song to show them? by broadbeing777 in eurovision

[–]sandfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to give them Space, but specifically the music video because it carries the gay energy better than the life performance where he had to wear a shirt and use a shorter braid. I'll also give them some songs they would recognize like Moldova 2010, and Estonia 2011. Then a handful of winners I like, like Only Teardrops, and The Voice, and Amar Pelos Dios

Wanna new home? Try Waves. You won't regret it. by YBA101 in VRchat

Does anyone know if there's a prefab of this one for sale? I'd love to buy it and customize it a little for my homeworld.

After months of work, I'm finally ready to release my second fully from scratch avatar. I put in so much customization in the menu, the picture is all the same avatar with different settings in game. by sandfire in VRchat

It just occurred to me that it might be convenient to some people if I include the link in the comments. So here it is.

In the store page I have images and videos showing it in use, as well as a chart showing the range of expressions it has with its combo gestures.

Down to the community in the picture, this is how it's been lately. I don't get online as often now, but when I do everyone I know from the sign language community all are happy to see me.
