huge congratulations to drugs for continuing to win the war on drugs

Man the Ozempic discourse is going to give me an aneurysm.
"Oh it solves obesity and also as a side effect cures your addictions? But... doesn't that just mean you're addicted to Ozempic? *smirk*"
If you say these things, I think you should get rolled up in a carpet and trampled by horses.
On a slightly more sober note, I just find it so depressing how many people are ideologically committed to not solving problems unless its with their preferred solution.
Just on the topic of GLP-1 agonists, I've seen multiple versions of this. It's not ok to lose weight unless it's through an act of willpower and discipline. Drugs are cheating. It's not ok to solve obesity unless it's by "banning addictive junk food". Drugs are letting those evil companies off the hook. (How? Does losing your customers not count? The person in question described solving this through medicine as "bleak".)
And expanding to other topics, it's idontwantasolutioniwanttobemad.jpg repeated over and over. Can't solve anything unless it's via The Revolution or it purifies the hearts and minds of the sinful or it immanentizes the eschaton or it punishes the wicked or whatever.
Bleak.
Is there a functional programming language that C like in its syntax? I like functional programming but the syntax of Haskell makes me uncomfortable.
I am not gonna become a rusthead I am not gonna become a rust guy. rust is the emo of computer languages rust is too mainstream but not mainstream enough that liking it becomes metacontrarian. I will never be a rust guy.

introduction to Velv closed species.

;;What Velvs are?;;
;;Tags: Humanoid, (furred) dragon, unicorn, alien, aquatic, terrestrial, fantasy
So far, there are 7 subtypes out: Forest, Ocean, Mountain, Tropic, Polar, Field and Desert. Those subtypes are inspired by various biomes and versions of dragons or unicorns, while staying faithful to general anatomy of their species as a whole. Their major traits are: longer, often lanky bodies, long necks with dewlaps, single horn, wide dragon-like nostrils, mix of skin, fur and scales (dragons and unicorns), feline/draconic feet, horse nipples. Desert for instance are inspired by pangolin with their skin and scales hardened, modified to resemble bigger plating of armoured dragons. Forest are inspired by nature and connection to it, with frog-like web between their fingers and toes, and so on...
Velvs are heavy lore species. There is more to their lore than this blog shows; here you will find only basis, whilst on the species sites you can find more and more of the lore (60+ pages in docs in total, with lots of trivia, deeper lore and other).
Velvenuuns, in short Velvs, are a native species of planet called Velvoria, a globe with similar to Earth biomes though way harsher winters and summers. Velvoriais a planet in the solar system known as VOK-5, in which there are not one, not two, but three suns. The planet orbits the star VOK-A and is accompanied by a smaller star VOK-B and the star VOK-C with the last of the three orbiting the star VOK-A and the star VOK-B every 500 years. In addition to that, the planet is accompanied by twelve other planets, some of which orbit the star VOK-A perpendicularly, keeping Velvenuolis in its orbit as well! Two of them seem to have conditions that could favour life, with one of them showing signs of a long gone civilization. The planet has in total four moons: Rhaza (the closest), Aphello (the biggest), Barnava and Vonvo, all of which can be observed on the night sky of Velvoria!
Velvs are highly intelligent and have the ability to communicate effectively, exhibit consciousness, and develop as a species. They have a natural curiosity about the world and a keen interest in learning about their surroundings. This interest is reflected in their education system, which places a high value on teaching young Velvs about the planet's flora, fauna, and other creatures. They encourage teamwork and collaboration in their young, emphasizing the importance of understanding their environment and the species they share it with. Velvs are semi-aquatic and semi-terrestrial, meaning they are equally comfortable on land and in water. They spend a significant amount of time in either, depending on their preferences. Their love for nature and their surroundings has led them to develop a unique appreciation for the environment around them, and they have a deep understanding of their planet's geography, climate, and ecology.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Velvs is their desire to learn about other cultures and traditions. They are natural explorers, with many Velvs being naturally adventurous, and are always eager to take risks and travel to other parts of the planet. They are keen on understanding the various regional dialects spoken by their kind, which helps them better comprehend their fellow Velvs from different parts of the world. Their willingness to learn about other cultures makes them excellent ambassadors and diplomats, and in case of non-Velvoria Vels they are often the first to initiate interplanetary diplomacy.

fuckin "closed species" blaze lol. worse than NFTs
"closed species" i'm making two fursonas as we speak
putting these into my D&D campaign At This Time
My "Yes I have interiority" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already anwered by my T-shirt.
The "no i don't have interiority" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.
My "yes I have interiority, no not the person wearing me, I'm a sentient shirt" shirt has people asking a lot of the questions that the shirt can understand but is tragically incapable of responding to
Just like in Kill La Kill
Why do Youtube videos pretend that fixing a flat bicycle tire is something you can easily do in ten minutes without special equipment when in fact it requires an hour and a half, a bunch of tools, three hands, copious swearing, and the intercession of several saints?
"common era" lmao and what event establishes the beginning of that common era?
"The date of birth of Jesus is not stated in the gospels or in any historical sources, but most biblical scholars generally accept a date of birth between 6 BC and 4 BC, the year in which King Herod died." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_birth_of_Jesus
If you think Christ was born 4 to 6 years before the birth of Christ by all means stick with AD/BC. Others are advised to go with BE/BCE.
Gospels or not, CE/BCE are definitely established on the exact same basis as "Anno Domini."
I am not opposed to the general principle of not basing our calendar on the birth of Christ - but then we should base it on something else, not on the exact same date as the calendar based on the birth of Christ.
I always get a kind of… reality shock, you could say, from things like this. Because most of the discussion of racism I see is about stuff like a fan artist drawing a dark-skinned character with not-dark-enough skin.
And then I take a look at the real world and I see people entrusted by society with the power to destroy lives, blatantly using that power to punish anyone who dares to be born the wrong ethnicity.
i like biomass
Lov the symmetry of taking CO2 out of the air and then putting it back up there. Circles are good.
Is there a functional programming language that C like in its syntax? I like functional programming but the syntax of Haskell makes me uncomfortable.

Some people name their child after themselves, and some people say they think of their pets as their children, but rarely do you see a pet owner name their pet after themself. "Hi, I'm Dave, and this is my dog, Dave" -- you just don't see that a lot.
Hi I’m Mike, this is my son Mike Jr., and this is my pet, Mike Dog.
and this is my cat mike at
