Mossy Feathers (They/Them)

I said that I’d be very concerned if I pissed and farts started coming out instead. Like, I went to pee but farts came out of my urethra.

Imagine if poop came out!

But farts aren’t supposed to come out of your pee hole.

…Right?

I don’t really have any ideas, but I want to warn you, you might be about to get into a fight you can’t win. The town is probably so picturesque as the result of tradition and liberal application of ordinances. Don’t let that discourage you, I’m just saying to keep that in mind when making plans.

Personally, I’d find it very concerning if I went to piss and farts started coming out instead.

Whooper

Joking aside, if you think you’ve found a body, drugs, a gun, whatever it is; don’t touch it, find a place that’s far away from the thing but in view so you can keep an eye on it, and then call it in. I know, ACAB and all that, but this is serious shit. You don’t wanna be too close in case the owner comes back, but you don’t wanna leave it either.

Ah, right. I forgot that going places just to see things was something people did.

If you’re afraid of the Red Cross suing you for using a red cross icon, just use the Swiss flag instead!

It’s okay, tbh I don’t think you’re missing out. My experience is that they’re usually badly maintained if they’re maintained at all (last time I looked at a hotel pool it was green and growing algae). The “swimmable” hotel pools are only found at really, really nice hotels.

Why do they even bother installing pools in hotels if they’re not going to maintain them? What a waste of space.

Based on the article, it sounds like they actually did have a basic understanding of sound building techniques because they went above and beyond the basics by doing things like carving sockets into the bedrock.

However that doesn’t mean they all gathered around a table, broke out their blueprints, calipers, slide rules and abacuses to design a structure that would last millenia. As you’re implying, there are likely many others that didn’t last that long.

My very uneducated speculation is that the ones still standing were later ones built after they’d already had a lot of practice building things. There were likely tens or hundreds of them that didn’t last because they were still figuring out how to build structurally stable buildings.

Jesus Christ what a wild story. Is it possible that Craven simply wanted to do good, but “as a white, abled man” wasn’t opening doors so they felt they had to pretend to be someone else? From what it sounds like, a lot of what they and their “”“partners”“” did was legitimately helpful. The thing that leaves me confused is that they probably could have fleeced people for significantly more money but didn’t. They didn’t have to put the amount of effort into it as they did. Is it possible they were trying to do the right thing but were going about it the wrong way?

As someone is very much not cisgender, I look at it and go “Well, isn’t every FTM going to pick Body Type A with male pronouns while MTFs like myself go with Body Type B with female pronouns? Who outside of a Far Right Troll trying and failing to be funny is gonna pick the buff bearded dude and select the she/her pronouns?”

Me! What do you have against bearded, manly ladies? They’re awesome!

It is kinda lazy to have “full masculine” and “full feminine” as your only choices while pretending they aren’t just “male” or “female”, but at the same time, I think it’s a step in the right direction. Today the options might be “not-man” and “not-woman”, but the future might have “not-man”, “not-woman”, “man-woman” and “woman-man”!

I mean, my idea was that it would be effectively mothballed until we have the technology to restore it or something, so the shielding doesn’t really matter. But yeah, the delta-v would probably destroy it. I kinda doubt it could handle it.

Yeah. I’m not sure how well it’d survive reentry either, but personally, I kinda think broken but repairable is better that fully vaporized.

Another possibility I considered is welding some steel beams to the outside, vacating the internal atmosphere and then pushing it into a stable orbit; or even pushing it into the moon’s orbit (if it was in the moon’s orbit then you wouldn’t have to worry as much about debris generated by collisions). Then it could sit there until we have the technology to either repair and recommission it, tow it back to earth, or renovate it and turn it into a tourist attraction (yanno, hoping we survive long enough for space tourism to be an actual thing).

That said, I have no idea if it’d be able to survive deceleration if you tried to put it in the moon’s orbit though. While acceleration could probably be slow and gentle, the deceleration required to keep it in the moon’s orbit might be too much for it.

Man, I really hope someone rich steps up before the ISS gets deorbited and pays to have the modules separated and sent back one-by-one, instead of just tossing it into the atmosphere and letting it burn up. It feels like a crime against humanity to just abandon it like that. At the very least, surely we could come up with a strap-on heat shield and parachute system so the parts could splash-down and get recovered, repaired, and stored in a museum.

Edit: why is this being downvoted? Is it because I said “someone rich”? I said that because I think rich people are the only ones with the money and willpower to get it done. I don’t like relying on them, but I don’t think most of the US population cares enough to get the government or NASA to do it.

Dude, I know it sounds silly, but I swear I run faster with them on hard surfaces. They’re really springy and thick socks keep them from sliding around on my feet so they’re actually not as clumsy as you’d think (or at least they don’t feel that way). I wouldn’t intentionally go running in them because I bet regularly running in them destroys your joints or something.

Though now I’m tempted to do an experiment to see if they actually make me run faster or if it just feels that way.

Also, I promise I’m not a complete fashion disaster; I only wear socks with them if I already have socks on.

Crocs are kinda magic. Try running with them while wearing socks in “”“sport mode”“”. In my experience it actually makes you run faster because the foam is fairly springy. I can run fast enough that I can’t keep up with my feet and risk tripping.

Why do you care what people wear on their feet? lol
