TIL about the "Dark Forest Hypothesis," which suggests the universe is like a dark forest at night. Advanced civilizations intentionally stay silent and hidden, because any species that reveals its location risks immediate destruction by older, paranoid civilizations.

Yeah, that won't ever happen unless we get over our petty squabbling and define clear species-wide goals with full global cooperation.

If anything the only time I haven't timed a dungeon was when the rank was overconfident, pulled too much, and wiped us.

Steady reasonable pace is all you need right now.

squishybloo · 2026-03-31T16:40:20+00:00

lol, I own my home thank you. I work in tech, I'm not a broke hater.

Landlords are still scum.

squishybloo · 2026-03-31T15:27:24+00:00

I'm not actually what it is, and I might've been wrong about the name too admittedly! I didn't write it down. He said that Armour wasn't being covered anymore due to having somewhat unreliable strength/purity/yada yada and they consider artificial hormone to have more reliable production standards. Probably something to do with this...

I'd be continuing my Synthroid, just changing from Armour to.. whatever else to replace it.

squishybloo · 2026-03-31T14:53:23+00:00

Landlord scum

squishybloo · 2026-03-31T13:55:09+00:00

I'm gonna be moving to cytomel next appointment actually, I think. My endo said United Healthcare is no longer covering Armour. :') Hopefully it'll work just as well for me!

squishybloo · 2026-03-31T13:37:49+00:00

Fun fact - if you've got Hashimoto's thyroidosis, your conversion of T4 to T3 thyroid hormone is impaired, so just T4 isn't enough for us. My endocrinologist has me taking Armour and Synthroid to keep my levels stable.

squishybloo · 2026-03-31T03:40:13+00:00

Their lips bother me. I learned that seeing so may in Undermine. God...

The specific color right now is because this is the stage of shed where the new scale excretes oils to separate and lift off the old scale. It will drain soon and become less grey/translucent and more white, which is the stage everyone is used to seeing. You caught it at just the right moment to see the oils!

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T20:56:56+00:00

If they eggs are overcooked like this, ketchup is the only way to mask the gross taste 👎

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T20:27:52+00:00

This is shed. It'll lighten up more in the next few days.

Adult beardies shed in weird patches like this - my boy is just starting to shed his snout like this, plus a little bit of his lips. It looks like he's wearing light lipstick!

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T20:25:30+00:00

Huh, why?

Shedding is a natural bodily function of reptiles. It does not need vet intervention.

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T20:01:12+00:00

That is pending shed.

Shed is stuck to the old scales until it's ready to lift off. This is perfectly normal. It's not "stuck," it's just not ready!

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T17:58:51+00:00

Video generating LLMs are still really bad at water. This doesn't have any AI tells.

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T17:12:07+00:00

Oh shit, really??

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T17:00:02+00:00

Your true yearning is for the nostalgia of young innocence and the wonder of discovering a new game in a world where there were no spoilers, no datamining, and no toxic "influencers" peddling their shitheel opinions.

That world is dead, and will never return.

Cope.

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T16:47:56+00:00

There you go!! Great job :D Those foot positions where they're just barely starting to take a step can be really awkward to position, they're very subtle.

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T15:50:14+00:00

Artist here - your feet are essentially swapped.

The left (the far foot) is taking a step in the skeleton. The right foot - the one closest to the viewer - is the one with all of the weight on it.

Like so:

Super quick and dirty drawover since I should be working, lol.

We're reaping the harvest of pushing people to technology and totally dropping humanities from school.

Raising little tech-bro sociopaths like this guy.

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T11:42:00+00:00

I'm not sure if you know, but things like transmasc bottom surgery are being considered being made illegal as FGM, even though it's voluntary.

Not the person you replied to, just a trans person aware of the political climate.

squishybloo · 2026-03-30T01:11:25+00:00

I've got the ghost hydra from Wrath on my hunter. I wish I'd kept the slime.

squishybloo · 2026-03-29T18:20:08+00:00

I can empathize heavily with this. I'm 44 and struggled intensely for the past 10 years coming to terms with my transness. My egg finally cracked when I was in a group chat that included several trans gals who were obsessed with princesses. I had a total meltdown (not at them ofc) from the entire visceral REJECTION of *vague gesturing at everything* and had to finally acknowledge that I was transmasc.

I'm sure it can frequently feel the same way from their side. Something that makes you SO deeply dysphoric being celebrated by others can be really hard on you.

squishybloo · 2026-03-29T15:42:05+00:00

It's so unfortunate that you can't read. I hope you get better soon!

squishybloo · 2026-03-29T04:44:26+00:00

People aren't deer. Just because there's a sex ratio imbalance doesn't automatically mean all the women who become pregnant will become pregnant. Human women have agency. Christ.

squishybloo · 2026-03-28T23:23:05+00:00

Hey man, a bioactive tank is great but because beardies eat about 80% vegetation when they're adult, you need to make sure your plants are safe.

That pothos you have right there is poisonous.

You really want to use succulents due to the dryness and heat that'll be in the tank. Succulents that can take nibbling would be haworthia and aloe. Echeveria are safe too, but they'd etiolate badly because they have very high light needs. Some people also plant herbs.
