Been screwing around w/ an AI tool to see what my character would look like as different anthros. My avatar is an example of that, as a wolf. I dig him as a fox too, though:

The size between a wolf and pitbull genuinely surprised me. Perspective is interesting.

So, I looked more into it. A wolf can weigh 100LBS over a pitbull. (or 1600 ounces).

Wolves are only kept as exotic pets outside of being seen in the wild, so it's not something you see often.

People say the electoral college should be abolished since it’s a threat to democracy, but even getting rid of it doesn’t change the problems on the voters’ behalf.
  • The popular vote, whether at the state or at the federal level isn’t based on the general public, but rather by voter turnout. The more unpopular candidate could win even the popular vote if only like 20% of the eligible voters voted, and that’s not even considering the burdens to voting (like work, voter ID laws, and mail voting restrictions) or voter fraud.
  • Some of the voters are single-issue voters. They could align with one candidate on the majority of the issues. But they would end up voting the candidate’s opponent or not vote at all because of one issue they disagree with.
  • Some aren’t even voting based on the issues or the candidate at all, but rather loyalty to the party. They would vote for a particular party even if their issues never get resolved.

Can't find the clip, but there was a scene in Family Guy that goes like this.

"Hamburgers, french fries, Cokes! Ah, you kids don't know what I'm talking about..."

This is what most of these gatekeeping posts online are like to me. Like dude I didn't even have a cell phone until I was like 19/20 (just like the poster on a certain website and I just got a smartphone, wonder how long poster had theirs.), could totally relate to that and a lot (if not all) of the other stuff that they list. That the "younger" ones don't know about or ever been through. Some of y'all are crazy 😂

Reminds me of this teacher that was shocked I knew what a cassette tape was…girlie I listened to them as a kid…
 
Due to fading depression and increasingly positive mental health, this is the first time in years I've been able to enjoy Autumn/Halloween season and the atmosphere.

In the last few years I was just too numb.

2023 was good though because I got to take my 3 year old cousin trick or treating. At first I was nervous (haven't actually been around kids), but I bonded with him really well.
 
Maybe the reason I never pick Totodile in Johto is because I just can't picture the ******* rival with a cute and cuddly Chikorita that then becomes a cute and cuddly Meganium lol 😂

Typhlosion and Feraligatr look more mean, just right for a guy like him. I guess maybe later, after he mellows out, a Meganium could work for him.
 
Jewels is sleeping by my feet and she’s making me a bit sleepy 😅. Kitties snuggling by my legs and just looking at how cozy they are make me so sleepy.
 
I really appreciate left handed accessibility options.

When Legend of Zelda switched to motion controls in Skyward Sword, they switched link to right handed. (To make it easier on the general player base).

...The sad part is that they didn't include an option to switch him back for left handed players :c kinda forgot about us

I totally understand why they switched him though and I do support it. But for a game that is fully reliant on motion controls, the option would be nice to have.
 
I want to finish my island and redo parts of it but I’m too lazy lol. I still need some fish and bugs so I wonder if I should wait either way? 🤔 I’m not sure how I want to decorate it though I saw this and I want to do something like this but maybe a smaller scale (too late to do completely unless it’s on my second island) and more loosely since I like the idea of adding my own personal touch and don’t like copying ideas I want to fill up my island. I’m unsure though how to go about this and if having an urban area would clash with some of my areas that I want to keep like my Thousand Sunny Ship, bazaar, Dressrosa colosseum (the left of it is unfinished Garreg Mach; I’m thinking of scrapping most of what I have there); I do want to tweak my rural area if I can 🤔. Just thinking about this makes me feel kinda tired lol.
 
I remember watching sumo after Thanksgiving with my family (to show them what I was watching) and my uncle and grandpa were laughing and making jokes like “these big boys could really clear out a buffet!” But they got real quiet after they saw the GOAT Hakuho dominate the dohyo!
 
I was looking at splatoon amiiboos and the three pack octoling is more expensive on Amazon than on Play-Asia (excluding shipping costs). $60?! yikes. Play-Asia it costs $45. I thought $35 dollars was expensive for amiibos too 😅

Why’s that?

If you say anything about the Astros, I wouldn’t be surprised.

They are divisional rivals of my team (Dodgers) and we are currently playing a 3-game set against them and they're only 2 games back, as they won last night. There is only 5 games left in the regular season, so this series is a huge deal, as it has major implications on who wins the division or who plays in the Wildcard.

But yes I hate Houston more hahaha
 
After reading more on TV Tropes, I felt that inFAMOUS 2 should’ve been the last inFAMOUS game, and Sly 3 should’ve been the last Sly Cooper game. Their endings in these games were perfect endings, and I didn’t like them being overridden.
  • Sly 4 was a huge insult to the Sly Cooper Series. Gameplay-wise? No. Story-wise? Yes. It ended on a really tragic cliffhanger ending that looked like it didn’t end well.
  • For inFAMOUS: Second Son, if there were still conduits left, does that mean the good ending from inFAMOUS 2 was overridden?
 
I just got done deleting my other Twitter account. I only use it the same pictures for my Nintendo Switch and 3DS to avoid spamming the feed for other people on my main. There's no point of the account to existed anymore, so that's why I deleted it.

To be honest, I want to do it to my main account too. But it's the only way I can get news from the Nintendo and stuff. I don't use it really anymore, I didn't even use a lot. The same with my Facebook account, that should have never existed. But sadly too many people I know started following me on it and now I can't do anything with it other than just leave it the way it is.... abandon. Also had a Instagram account that didn't last long, It was only just for Animal Crossing pictures and that's it. Deleted it in a heartbeat after about...what, a year?
I recently got a hold of my Tumblr account again and now it's just sitting there. Untouched again, but this time I have access to it. Every now and then I will probably reblog (and post) something.

To be honest, I was never a big fan of social media in the first place. Even now I will never understand why some people will break their back trying to get a million followers or something and act like it's the end of the world, when it's not. At the end of the day they're all behind a computer screen like you.

Like yeah, I use to use my Tumblr account a lot back then, but it's probably because I wanted to feel special like everyone else who had one. Oh and I wanted to post my Animal Crossing garbage, I guess.

I never have stepped a foot in Snapchat (even though my mom thinks I have one because she's on there, I do not) and I definitely do not have a TikTok. Not interested, not ever.

And don't make me get started on places like Reddit. Thank goodness, I only had that account for less than a year. Some people on there swear they're know it all's (and anywhere else where these type of people crawl at). It's not everywhere though, just some places. Had to leave or I'll end up losing more of my sanity.

I'm sorry for the vent, I'm really tired and frustrated over something right now and want to scream.

Edited: errors and typos, there's probably more. But I am not in the mood of fixing them.
