My younger brother. He is entirely sold on billionaire philanthropy and believes Elon is a visionary genius that constantly finds ways to upturn the status quo.

He also thinks Jeff Bezos is a nice guy because he’s so nice in interviews.

Is this… Is this a hit list? XD

Yes, but on Dutch that’s pronounced exactly like elephant:

“Olifant”, which I just learned is also the name of a certain kind of instrument.

Just wait till you say you’re using Ubuntu. ^^;

Especially if it’s arch Linux

You’re quite wrong about my art and missing the point with your first sentence.

I don’t get much requests for kink related things as I have a list longer than my forearm of all the shit I’ll refuse to draw. The most nudity I draw is usually for reference materials. I certainly don’t specialise.

Fair enough. You’re right on that front.

Climate science doesn’t come from a single source. I don’t see this furry science being referenced outside of furry science.

I cannot trust “furscience” to be impartial.

Yeah, I don’t have anything on my profile because… Dunno really what to put on it. Didn’t really cross my mind to put anything on it either.

But yeah, I got FA. All my customers are furries, so the majority of my art is furry. Wouldn’t make sense not to have an FA account. Anyway, here it is:

What I am at my core, though, is a science fiction and Bionicle fan. Here’s one of the things I made on YouTube:

If this comment ends up near the top, the reply section will be… Interesting. It’ll no doubt start to attract furries who themselves have something to say about it, and they’ll generally fall into 4 categories:

1. Those who aren’t the unstable kind, generally just think furry characters are cool, and agree with what I wrote.

2. Those who fit my description of the fandom, and are self reflective enough to agree, but own it too.

3. Those who fit my description of the fandom, and feel personally attacked. They’ll likely get very emotional and lash out.

4. Those who disagree because they lack any sort of outside perspective, either because they’re too in the middle of everything or are part of a very niche group in the fandom.

I’ve shared my take before and these are generally the responses.

As someone who hangs out with a lot of furries, and also only ever gets furries as art customers:

Yes, I understand the discomfort around furries. I can blame people for going out of their way to troll furries, but I can’t blame people to want nothing to do with furries.

The furry fandom is by and large filled with people who have massive insecurities. This doesn’t count for everyone, but you’re more likely to find an emotionally unstable furry than not. It’s the ultimate escapism; where people with personal issues create a character with none of those personal issues, and pretend to be said character in an environment where consequences don’t exist. It is not for nothing there is such a massive amount (compared to Earth’s overall average) of gay, bi, and trans people in the fandom.

Yes, it’s also a sex thing. I’ve seen someone in the comments say “sex positive”, but I wouldn’t call it that. The furry fandom is a place where a gay or a bisexual person can express their sexuality without persecution, like often happens in places like the United States or Poland, but… It’s not really sex positivity, rather it’s debauchery. So much debauchery. Which harkens back to escaping into the ideal world without consequences; you can have copious amount of sex and/or sexualise as much as you want without any of the usual responsibilities or consequences that comes with sex.

It is fun to occasionally partake in such debauchery. I’m no prude and I’m not afraid to admit I’m also a bit of a horny guy. So partaking in the occasional kinky, sexy fiction can be fun. Except for a furry it isn’t really fiction, which is where a lot of weirdness and unease comes from. And for those who can afford going to conventions or meetups regularly, this level of debauchery occasionally happens in real life… With real life consequences.

A furry lives in a fictional comfort zone where they can pretend to be a character in a world without consequences. But even in exclusively online communities real life tends to catch up with people, so members inside of communities will get pushed outside of this comfort bubble and be reminded about reality. This is the cause for a lot of infamous furry drama.

Well, Elrond was there in the beginning. Bilbo and the dwarves passed through Rivendel.

It’d be more accurate to call them species. Elves are specist.

Aren’t the elves from The Hobbit also a different group? It could just be that they are frolicking weirdos compared to Elrond’s and Galadriel’s elves.

It fascinates me how far we’re progressing in medical science. Never expected to ever see news like cures for HIV, tumours, and diabetes in my lifetime.

Hey, have you seen those Japanese? They have curved swords. Curved… Swords…!

Well let me think…

I know a few local supermarkets sell frozen chickpeas in bags of 500 grams. And I think, off the top of my head, the price ranges between 15 dkk ($2.24) and 40 dkk ($5.97), depending on if there’s a sale on and which supermarket I go to. I know that Rema 1000 is on the cheaper end, and frozen vegetable products tend to go on sale pretty often, but it’s never the same products, so it’s very unpredictable when chickpeas go on sale. These prices include tax, as tax is not excluded from products in stores.

That means that 3 kg of frozen chickpeas would be between $14.44 (uaually when on sale) or $36.02.

Now, I can get dried beans and peas in much larger bulk from the various Arab stores in Copenhagen, but buying bags of dried goods from those stores comes with the risk of getting pantry moths. I’m still battling those little fuckers from the time I bought a large 5 kg bag of really high quality rice two years ago.

I live in Denmark.

There’s no Amazon in Denmark. Basically anything bought from Amazon either comes from Germany or the UK, which makes Amazon probably the worst, most expensive option for any reason.
