I genuinely cannot imagine the kind of trouble that the guy at game freak who got phished is getting in right now. just like biblical levels of Fired. it’s like 1:30 pm on a sunday in japan right now that dude needs to burn his house down change his name and choose a country on a map at random to book a flight to
the hapless game freak employe who answered one too many emails
I wanted to do some character study with the bishops, and how they preached to their followers. For now, I only rendered Heket and Leshy, but Kallamar and Shamura are on the way!
One day we need to have a conversation about how the majority of HR professionals are white women and how they operate as the single largest barrier to entry for non white people in corporate.
I but like this is just one of many reasons y’all have to stop believing that white women are this ultra oppressed group with limited power. Yesterday a white woman in HR submitted a report to me trying to throw out a perfectly qualified black woman’s resume because she “giggled too much” in her screening.
When we have a salary budget of 6 figures, who do you think says “but I think we can get them for 60”.
White women are powerful. Very very powerful. Don’t believe the damsel in distress hype.
The next time you go through an interview process, I want you to count how many white women you have to go through before you even get to the white man in charge.
Addendum: nowadays, the first person that contacts you is probably a recruiter, someone you’ll never see in person that reads 800 resumes a day. They just need the numbers and don’t care who gets hired as long as someone gets hired. The second person you talk to? That’s the corporate white woman in HR. If she arrived late to your interview, if she was mean to you, if she changed the conditions that first person had outlined in order for you to get the job, if she lowered how much money you were going to get paid (or refuses to tell you), etc, call the recruiter. Even if you get a formal rejection (you probably won’t), call the recruiter, and tell them what happened at your interview.
Racism and disclination hinder the effectiveness of recruiter’s work by adding secret “must be white and must vibe with the HR gal” scouting requirements; recruiters hate that no matter their stance on you personally, your race, sexuality or anything. Recruiters need the numbers. Trust me, they’re having calls with the HR white women asking WHY you were rejected, and getting vague ass answers, if they get answers at all. BUT If they get enough of YOUR calls that convey “the woman was rude to me so fuck this job”, they have evidence against her and can report her. I’ve seen them go after being reported a couple times, and look, it’s not about the company caring about you, or racism or anything.
It makes the White Guy on Top lose money.
Call the recruiter. Be polite, but be clear. The recruiter wants you to get that job.
More cotl nine sols au! I thought giving Leshy Jiequan’s seal was fitting. Something about the god of chaos having the seal of discipline is funny.
Heket gets Goumang’s role! She’s not a bird, but she used transmutation to give herself the ability to breathe underwater. She covers her transmutations with clothes unless she’s swimming. I might disrobe her later to show what I’m picturing!
Also Leshy’s little flower pin is a gift from the yellow cat! And he is transgender <3
The painting I find most annoying in the world is Paul Klee’s Angelus Novus (1920)
Because there’s this incredibly badass description of it by Walter Benjamin:
A Klee painting named Angelus Novus shows an angel looking as
though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly
contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are
spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is
turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one
single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls
it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead,
and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from
Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the
angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into
the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before
him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.
which sounds absolutely amazing, but then I go look at the actual painting and it’s like
We’re still in the process of having me diagnosed with whatever is causing my serious physical illness, and I’m still in the process of being declared unfit for work. And this won’t be done till late October at the earliest.
I don’t have a large income. Especially not one to take care of all the traveling on top of everything to go to doctors.
I also have a ko fi if yyou want to give us a bit to work of off for the day to day life.
Also because it apparently is needed to mention.
WE ARE NOT PALESTINIANS
if you want to help out the Palestine, we’re not who to donate to. We of course appreciate any help, but we don’t want it to be at the cost of someone else
These two are my moots so if y’all could if nothing else reblog and queue a bunch, it’d be greatly appreciated!
this is the biggest pokemon leak weve ever seen. holy fuck.
a gamefreak employee got phished in a dev portal. i feel really really bad for them. but at the same time so much of this is amazing. i love cut content. i love seeing the process of making stuff. so i have mixed feelings, but i’m going to set that aside.
ive been here for multiple beta leaks since the spaceworld gold demo in 2018 and the diamond and pearl beta leak somewhere after that. this is by far the most intensive leak of beta pokemon stuff ive seen.
source code and beta builds for gens 3, 4, 5, and later 6 and 7. it is MASSIVE.
there is so fucking much and you can see coverage here
edit: if you dont have twitter (elon is a shitbag i dont blame you) you can go on r/PokeLeaks
this document from junichi masuda made in 2005 is the highlight for me, the symbol used in the hgss arceus event. it seems the legendaries are like a greek pantheon of deities
internal development and discussion. universe creation lore, character profiles (e.g. skyla is a sexy latina pilot inspired by jennifer lopez and isabella fontana), never before seen designs, seen-before designs (latiken had a fucking sprite!), concept art, gen 3 had some darker looking discarded dev art. WHAT IS THIS IT RULES
my favorite thing about Elder Scrolls is how goddamn fuckin weird it is
like on surface it’s just some dnd game but like even a cursory glance shows tis fucking insane like:
The moons is the corpse of a god
the stars are actually holes in reality when alot of primordial spirits hated that mortals were becoming a thing and fucked off
The demon lord of forbidden knowledge/resident Cthulhu stand-in might also be the beta version of the entire fucking universe made sentient when it wasn’t chosen to be the used reality
there are cat ppl that take the form of furrys, lions, or regular cats, so you can have a cursing Pirate legend whose an alcoholic & wanted in 5 countries but is also a like basic tabby cat
the wood elves are so pro-nature they’re cannibals and also they murder vegetarians
Vampires came from the Lord of Rape doing well ya know
Werewolves came to exist bc the lord of hunt got bored and is a furry
sex is treated like a fucking ip copyright contract on what aspect of sex is happening and what god it’s under. There’s been many religious wars about this
The lizard ppl are part tree
the Dwarves all fucked off somewhere and disappeared bc they were so atheist they did math to break relativity and literally no one has any idea where they went God or mortal (except maybe Cthulhu and hes not telling)
Said Cthulhu stand-in treats hiding your grandma’s secret cookie recipe & hiding a spell that would end the universe and slay a god the exact same and he will murder you for either
Everyone wants to fuck the Orcs but will never admit it and they got so bent out of shape that a demon god killed the og orc god, ate him, and shat him out bc she couldn’t deal with everyone complimenting them all the time so now all Orcs are cursed to be hated but they’re all still sexy & so is their god
Inuits in the Arctic can survive perfectly on a plant based diet 😤
Vegans: We care about all life! We’re all equal!
Also vegans: I think Inuit people should starve :)
Animals in nature: *kill and eat each other all the time.*
vegans:
Commercial agriculture: *develops certain GMOs and pesticides that kill keystone bug species, which disrupts the environment and kills many different animals up the food chain as a result*
Vegans:
Commercial agriculture: *destroys local ecosystems by ripping out native species and replacing them with massive farms of exotic monocultures, resulting in the deaths and endangerment of millions of species*
Vegans:
Inuit people: *live in an environment where growing plant based food is extremely difficult, and where grocery prices are inflated past affordability so they hunt a few large animals every year which feed their entire community*
Vegans: that’s immoral and evil, actually.
@feathertayl
MY PEOPLE! MY PEOPLE ARE ALREADY STARVING! We are NOT the reason animals are going extinct. We have kept the EXACT SAME HUNTING PRACTICES FOR CENTURIES! CENTURIES! Before cars we hunted this way, before light bulbs we hunted this way, BEFORE AMERICA OR AUSTRALIA WAS COLONIZED WE HAVE HUNTED THIS WAY!
Orange juice in my home town is 25$ minimum! We buy bread for special occasions! Something Southern people have on their dinner table 24/7 is something I would see only a few times a year!
Not to mention, we use AS MUCH OF THE ANIMAL AS POSSIBLE! Bones become plates, and silverware (or in some cases jewlery), fur and blubber becomes homes and clothing and beds. Teeth become combs. And we eat EVERYTHING! I’ve had brains, and eyeballs, and intestines. Anything that can be eaten, will be eaten. We DONT throw ANYTHING away. And if we have too much (which is rare but has happened before) we leave it for the suffering wild life!
Polar bears will come and gouge themselves on a whale we don’t finish, wolves will feast on some left over seal tails, foxes will devour caribou carcases!
Even now, we are curbing our hunting ideas. We DONT hunt as many whales as we used too, we used to hunt maybe five a year, but now we hunt one to three! Seals are also taken care of but use only hunting males, and older males at that! Caribou was my family’s main meal, and lemmings when they would come around.
If you are vegan, cool! More power too you! But you probably live in a place that can grow more than lichen, and grass. You live in an industrialized place, where everyone has a car, and house.
Some of my people still don’t own these things. We are so far north, cars are hard to maintain, electricity for my childhood home came from a car battery we would buy from the soldiers and sailors, we didn’t have wifi, or even phones.
[Image IDs: Image #1: Tweet from @/ alicentism reading: i think “queer people also deserve silly little romcoms that don’t necessarily have to serve any bigger purpose” and “queer people deserve good, fully fledged, layered and complex media” are two statements that can and should coexist

If you haven’t put together what all these things have in common yet, here’s the moral of the story: STOP TRYING TO CATEGORIZE PEOPLE. STOP TRYING TO PUT PEOPLE IN A GODDAMN BIOLOGICAL HIERARCHY. EUGENICS IS BAD, AND WILL ALWAYS BE BAD, NO MATTER WHO’S DOING IT.
Famous dipshit and tech billionaire Fictional Asshole revealed today that his next business venture involves mass production of the minimal arrangement of human brain cells capable of having a soul.
“This’ll definitely be profitable somehow,” he said. “We’re thinking of an app?
…Look, off the record? I’ll level with you. None of my startups since Trungle have been profitable. I’m just throwing shit at the wall here and seeing what gets me venture capital. We’ve incinerated millions of these things already I have no idea what we’re doing.”
When asked about the ethics of deliberately creating organisms confirmed to have souls only to dispose of them, Fictional Asshole simply looked blankly at our interviewer as if incapable of processing the idea.

“Do it scared” but please realize that, if you Do It Scared too much and don’t let yourself rest + relax + have fun in between, you will fuck yourself up. If you “do it scared” all day every day, you will burn out badly and quickly. Sometimes this is temporarily necessary but please keep this in mind.
When you “do it scared” eventually you’re supposed to be less scared, eventually doing it scared is supposed to teach you the worst won’t happen, or it won’t be as bad as you think it is, or that the best outcomes are worth it, or you’re more capable than you thought you were. If you do it scared over and over and you’re still scared and you’re always scared, maybe it was never about pushing yourself, maybe something bigger is going on and what you really need is to be kind to yourself while you figure out what that is.
Want to hear something funny? Akinator would have been called AI if it was released today. None of this “AI” bullshit is actually anything intelligent. It’s programs and algorithms and computer mimicry. It learns nothing. Chatgpt and openai and midjourney are just Akinator. The term “AI” is just a marketting ploy thats working painfully well with the people who don’t understand that this tech has been around and in use for YEARS. Akinator was relased in 2007. Its just slightly more advanced Akinator tech, but its not anything artificially intelligent. I really wish we’d stop calling it “AI”

When my boyfriend’s grandfather was sick, he and the family dog had a game - the dog would tap the old man with his paw to ask to be petted. It amused him and wasn’t really harming anyone, so my boyfriend’s mom saw no reason to put a stop to it. Let her old dying father find joy in whatever he still could.
It’s been years now since my boyfriend’s grandfather was blessed into holy ground, but to this day, every time you’re within reach and the dog wants attention, he’ll just walk up to you and
realtalk: i can’t wait for AI to get better to the point where you can have a legit conversation with your computer or phone just for the heck of it
imagine how innocent they’d be, and like they don’t know what swearing is until you teach them then they go overboard with it like a child and hhHHHG

This whole post is wonderful, but I think a lot of people don’t realise just how rare bilateral gynandromorphs are. Research has shown that only approximately 1 in 6,000 butterflies is a bilateral gynandromorph! So thanks so much @oddity-txt for sharing this wonderful being with us!

y'all need to stop being weird about people’s ages. The sooner you stop thinking of people over 30 as some sort of alien species, the better your life will be
