Seems like the fandom violently hates it, but it slaps. Yeah I've heard people say it would've been The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, but I've seen the edit and while it syncs up well it doesn't feel like JoJo. It's so solemn, which is probably the least appropriate tone for JoJo.

You know what is appropriate for JoJo? Weird goofy shit. You know what's weird and goofy? Japanese cowboy trap. I don't even like trap, but the outro slaps. The horse whinny samples are just chef's kiss.

Are people just hating because it's an original song?

Plants that look like they're trolling, where you see a picture for the first time and think "Nah, that's bad AI, there's no way that actually grows like that", but then it turns out it does actually grow like that.

I know this is gonna sound like the "Where exactly, so I can avoid it" meme, but I'm sincerely trying to avoid it.

I am pretty physically active, and get massage every six months or so. I have a massage therapist I usually go to, but every once in a while it's an emergency and my go-to is booked up, so I get a sketchy strip mall massage.

About half the time it ends with a happy ending attempt. Not that I'm against the concept, but I refuse to pay for sexual contact on principle. Also that cuts into the time spent on the actual massage I came in for, and pressures me into a huge tip for something I don't actually want.

At the same time, I don't want to assume. It seems pretty rude to start off with "I know you're gonna wanna give me a handjob but I'm not interested". So is there some kind of standard "initiation" ritual that I can turn down when it comes up?

Title. I like weird stuff that challenges the way you think. Not much of a traditional comic book reader, but there are some that have really gripped me lately (particularly the more out-there stuff by Moore or Morrison), and I'm looking for more stuff like that.

In the last couple years I've read:

The Invisibles
The Filth
Flex Mentallo
The Sandman
Promethea
Morrison's Animal Man
Transmetropolitan
The Incal

On my to-read list so far are Moore's Swamp Thing and the new Absolute Martian Manhunter. What else needs to be on the list?

I've been thinking about print-in-place joints, and playing with my new multi-head printer.

Has anyone been playing around with making one half of a joint from PLA and the other from PETG to get snugger PIP joints? Seems like that would be a good way to get real right tolerances without bonding.

I did a casual search and I couldn't find anyone talking about it.

Personally, I'd like to abolish the stock market altogether. But this is an attractive, actionable policy

I think it's finally time to upgrade from my Ender 3, and the market has... grown substantially. I'm a bit out of my depth.

Definitely looking at a coreXY, and definitely prefer a multi-color system (multi-material really). My budget is around $600, but that's a bit flexible.

The Elegoo Centurion Carbon 2 looks attractive, and it's on sale. But I've heard good things about multi-head systems, particularly when it comes to waste from purging. Granted, that stretches my budget a bit.

What's the move? It seems like so many of the options (coughcoughBambu) have pretty gross anti-consumer practices. Are there any good options out there?

Update: Alright, I pulled the trigger on a Snapmaker U1. It seems like it's going to be the Ender 3 of tool changers: the open source darling that becomes the de facto standard for the mod community.

No credentials, no qualifications, just a live stream of everything that isn't classified.

"Hey chat, these guys just said some wild shit about foreign policy. Is that legit? Lawyers in the chat, what should I say?"

Every citizen can join the chat, decisions are based on polls. I foresee equal parts "Whip ur dik out" and "Bring up the provisions of Ch. 4 Subsection III, highlight the intersection of Art. VI with Johnson v. Hackensak"

Not ideal, obviously, but compared to the current state of things? Could definitely be worse. Why not, at this point? At least it's transparent.

First, I know what most of you are going to say. I myself was an internet atheist 20 years ago, quoting Dawkins and Sagan at magic-sky-daddy believers. But this isn't about convincing anyone to believe.

This is about pragmatics. And, pragmatically, the single biggest enemy right now is the conservative Christian right. Anything to fracture that coalition benefits the left.

Luckily, their gospels are pretty left-wing. So, I offer for your consideration, the Christian angle.

I encourage those of you who went to Sunday school to brush up on your Scripture. Matthew is a treasure trove. When you're talking to someone on the right, start hitting them with chapter and verse.

If nothing else, this is initially shocking. They're supposed to be the Christians, and you're some filthy commie reminding them that Jesus called the wealthy priests hypocrites, and told us to feed the hungry and aid the sick.

They have defense mechanisms against your crybaby commie talk. They don't have defense mechanisms against their own scripture. At worst, you shake them loose from their script and confuse them, giving you openings for gentle deprogramming.

At best, they might reflect on their leadership and how closely they follow Jesus' commands. Anyone who really believes in him and really reads the gospels is going to wind up a leftist, whether they call it that or not.

Just food for thought. Read up on what Jesus said, use that against the people who claim to follow him. You don't have to believe yourself to recognize a powerful rhetorical tool.

Not Christianity, Jesus.

Sometimes you ask a question that's a sincere attempt to solicit an actual answer, but everyone assumes it's a rhetorical question. Like no, I'm actually asking.
