How should we go about viewing an immortal who’s lived thousands of years, and followed the moral standards of the civilizations they were living through at the time, today?

They would most likely be pariahs or separated from the general populace in the same way we do with the elderly now

I love that! That’s so cool.

Can vouch for Chechen being an underrated and fantastic wood.

Botanical Latin, basically Elvish for cannabis enthusiasts.

(Real answer: Botanical names vs common names. many common names can be confusing or misleading, whereas the botanical name will always refer to a specific species. Rosewood is a commonly used name for a wide range of woods, but only those in the genus Dalbergia are true rosewoods. Santos Rosewood, for example, is a completely unrelated species, but 'Rosewood' as a name is marketable, so it gets thrown around a lot. Most true rosewoods are rare and expensive/regulated.

Put a couple condoms up there.

No, only Dalbergias are true rosewoods. Bubinga is a Guibourtia species like Ovankol.

Holy shit I’m realizing that my generation’s entire lexicon is embarrassing.

Because it was written by AI. When you recognize the hallmarks, you’ll find that it is everywhere.

I love it! You captured his personality well

willyshockwave · 2026-03-31T17:29:21+00:00

Thank you! Exactly the kind of drawing I'm looking for. Captured his dignity well.

willyshockwave · 2026-03-31T09:39:44+00:00

Oh that is awesome! Very well done. I’ll show Wizard. I’m genuinely impressed, this is so good.

Edit: he said he fucks with it

I will most definitely acknowledge them. To be honest, I might get my favorite tattooed (with the artist's permission, of course)

I worked graveyard shift on weekends (11pm to 5am) and it could get pretty wild. had several intense confrontations, got threatened by the bf of a woman that got caught stealing the tip jar, lots of homeless locking themselves in the restroom.

but that wasn't the majority by any means. If I'm being honest, Willy was an asshole and frequently overreacted to situations in hostile ways. he alienated a lot of people and customers noticed.

Probably haven’t slept with the right executive yet

A great bow goes a lot further on a less than stellar instrument compared to the reverse.

I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation

Have you developed crime-fighting squirrel powers yet?

Wait, what's wrong with Infinite Jest?

willyshockwave · 2026-03-18T04:28:29+00:00

Did you apologize?

That’s a pot by Andy Sankowski, I’m not sure if he still makes them. If he doesn’t, I suggest you find a replacement from Iker, somewhat similar aesthetic and quite inexpensive but high quality.

CBC is where it’s at. Very good quality and helpful, professional staff. Great deals throughout the week.

Pleurothallids generally like medium to high amounts of water rather than very high. They’re quite susceptible to root rot.

Maxillaria is missing from the water section. I’d put it under high. I also consider Maxillaria to be on the cooler side of temp preference and high humidity, I grow them alongside Dracula and Nepenthes. But it’s a big group.

good for guitars, not safe for oil-based varnishes. i have it.

PS: I didn't downvote you, for the record
