I recently watched Whiplash for the first time, with a group of people who cracked jokes and talked over literally every single emotional high. When it ended they collectively rated it 6/10 because “there weren’t any likeable characters”.

I’m gay and housing is just as hard to find for me as it is for my straight friends. Housing in the United States is prohibitively expensive, even/especially for renters depending on the area. This comparison was flawed to begin with, but that’s not surprising considering it’s the argumentative equivalent of a “no u”. Die on a better hill.

“This post is about a movie from a year ago. Was the whole point to do some kind of weird roundabout "China bad" post?”

That’s the orignal comment we’re talking about. Where are you getting any of that shit out of this comment?

Where’s the “valid criticism of rainbow capitalism”? I think you’re projecting.

I like the idea of defederating with instances like this. People gripe about creating rifts between users but like, are we really labeling the trolls calling everyone else trolls as “honest users”? lmao

They can have their own pissing contests in their own living rooms. It shouldn’t be our responsibility to field their fucken CCP sponsored bullshit in any random comment section because “it should be the user’s choice what content they see”. This is a cop out.

Defederate now, you can always refederate later when user filters are a little bit more fleshed out. As it stands you’re just encouraging their behavior by giving them a ticket to act with impunity, and they’re really loving the high horse.

lovely! what DAW do you use? Are those drums active synthesis or samples?

the way it swells is very appealing, you’ve got a good sense of pacing!

Copper has a low enough melting point that I’m able to just hit it with an oxygen-acetylene torch and turn the pennies into a solid little blob. Then I hammer that down to a somewhat regular size and shape that’ll fit in my rolling mill.

On this particular ring I ran either side through the mill while leaving a bulbous lump in the center. I was originally planning to set a moderately larger oval ruby in it, so I needed as much metal for the head as possible.

From there it was just minor shaping, setting the stone, and a long stint on the buff. The slanty body lines and slopes on the top are actually an artifact of the rolling mill step. The mill is older then me, and likes to consistently cockeye your stock to the left. But consistent angles make for pretty geometry!

 

It’s the first piece I’ve finished that actually LOOKS like proper jewelry someone would buy. It looks worn because it is, I haven’t taken it off since I finished it yesterday hahah

It started life as 5 pennies. I like the permanence of overbuilt things, so the shank is staying too thick. The alexanderite is synthetic, and honestly a pretty sub-par cut. But it wouldn’t have fit in the head if it wasn’t abnormally shallow, so I can’t really complain.

how dare you not love sync, didn’t you hear about the feature it has!?

 

I had leftover ringbound paper from an unrelated project, and the cover is just cardboard and tape. This baby is all scraps!
