The only thing that has enabled me to remain sane on this platform is the block functionality.
I have a policy, and I’m not being exaggeratory, that I block at least one person and one community per day.
This place is just like any other, a slice of humanity piled in a heap.
Not snide, reflective question: What makes you think you can’t get banned here?
I’ve been banned from various areas. I told an instance owner off because he truly deserved it. Banned. I wasn’t surprised. I was insta-banned from the Squared Circle community for pointing out the facts supported by data that the AEW program is suffering a documented ratings decline.
Dude you really have no idea what you’re talking about.

So if you want to change your behaviors or the way you feel about them, you need to change the way you think and feel inside.
Which means stop focusing on the behavior, and start focusing on the underlying feelings which provoke the behavior. I do strongly suggest therapy, because it’s an emotional thing that’s happening which leads to your useage.

Oh wow, what a huge memory triggered! The total prioritization of whiz-bang on that site.
Shot me back to 1998(?ish?) where I met an absolutely amazing artist who started with street and scene art, huge airbrushed murals, and moved into digital media. He was an absolutely drug-addled, unprofessional lunatic. But also the best, if you could ever as the creative lead, draw a circle around him. We made a lot of games that were very bog-standard mechanically, but he took the creative design to places nobody had been in terms of visual game design. I love/hated him and I affectionately called him Mad Dog and it stuck at work lol
This website reminded me of his personal side project Dr Wash. I remember him showing off his site to me, which at the time was truly a marvel of what could be done artistically on the Web. After browsing every section and page, I was left with one question to him: What is it you actually do or sell?? I meant it! lol
This memory hit me when it took me 30 seconds of mystery meat navigation, then no-scrollbar but need to infini-scroll down to hopefully find textual information that actually says something. Etc. Some things never change haha
Imagine how shadows on earth would look if our sun was actually a cosmic LED bulb array with 9 bulbs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra%2C_penumbra_and_antumbra
Any light source they’re using isn’t a single beam of photons, it’s a cast cone of light. Actually multiple cones because mostly it’s LED array lighting.
So there’s an (effectively) infinite number of shadows because it’s being hit by photons coming from multiple angles, from multiple little light cones.
The shadows form a distributed pattern behind.
There’s other factors like scattering within the media the photons travel through (air) as well as refraction.
e: I tried to make it make more sense. Its about understanding that a light sources are cones of light hitting from many angles at once.

So there is specific legislation in place to abuse restaurant workers, restaurant owners take full advantage of this.

It’s kind of revelatory that vegan is a shifting term, that means whatever it wants to mean for the believer.
I tell vegans all the time that in order to have their potato chips brought to them, first they have to have millions of hectares of fields destroyed, planted with a monoculture potato crop, sprayed with pesticides, harvested by diesel equipment, made in a factory with pollutants, placed on trucks which ship all over the country.
Swallow a fly, oh my God the world is ending. Kill a couple thousand things on the way to get your vegan chips, let’s not talk about that.
Okay now that I got my ticket into the club, I get to be racist and ignorant.
