Hand Talk (Plains Indian Sign Language) - New General Megathread for the 6th-8th of June 2025
Map of the various sign languages spoken across Turtle Island, excluding Francosign languages. Plains Sign Language is labelled in red as Hand Talk
Plains Indian Sign Language (PISL), also known as Hand Talk, Plains Sign Talk, Plains Sign Language, or First Nation Sign Language, is an endangered sign language common to the majority of Indigenous nations of North America, notably those of the Great Plains, Northeast Woodlands, and the Great Basin. It was, and continues to be, used across what is now central Canada, the central and western United States and northern Mexico. This language was used historically as a lingua franca, notably for international relations, trade, and diplomacy; it is still used for story-telling, oratory, various ceremonies, and by deaf people for ordinary daily use.
In 1885, it was estimated that there were over 110,000 "sign-talking Indians", including Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Sioux, Kiowa, and Arapaho. As a result of the European colonization of the Americas, most notably including American boarding and Canadian residential schools, the number of sign talkers has declined sharply. However, growing interest and preservation work on the language has increased its use and visibility in the 21st century. Historically, some have likened its more formal register, used by men, to Church Latin in function. It is primarily used today by Elders and Deaf citizens of Indigenous nations.
History
Hand Talk's history is intimately associated with both ancient and recent petroglyphs of the continent, however, little is known to academia about Plains Sign Talk's historical antecedents. The earliest records of contact between Europeans and Indigenous peoples of the Gulf Coast region in what is now Texas and northern Mexico note a fully-formed sign language already in use by the time of the Europeans' arrival there. These records include the accounts of Cabeza de Vaca in 1527 and Coronado in 1541.
Signing may have started in the south of North America, perhaps in northern Mexico or Texas, and only spread into the Plains in recent times, though this suspicion may be an artifact of European observation. It is known that there is a complex of Maya sign languages called Meemul Chʼaabʼal or Meemul Tziij in the Kʼicheʼ language, but it is unknown to what extent Meemul Tziij has affected Hand Talk.
The Northwest is home to Plateau Sign Language, which is either a single language or a family of sign languages spoken by the local nations. It is also unknown how associated Plateau Sign Language is with Hand Talk, but it is probable that they are related. Although it is still spoken, especially by the Ktunaxa, the Plateau nations historically shifted to using Chinook Jargon instead
In recent years, the Oneida Nation has taken steps to revive their sign language. Historically, the nations of the Northeast Woodlands, like the Haudenosaunee, spoke a variant of Hand Talk. The Oneida Sign Language Project officially began in 2016, and more signs are being added to this day.
Geography
Sign language use has been documented across speakers of at least 37 spoken languages in twelve families, spread across an area of over 2.6 million square kilometres (1 million square miles). In recent history, it was highly developed among the Crow, Cheyenne, Arapaho and Kiowa, among others, and remains strong among the Crow, Cheyenne and Arapaho.
Melanie R. McKay-Cody, a Cherokee Deaf woman and Hand Talk speaker/researcher, motions that "Plains" Sign Language is actually a family of inter-related languages extending beyond the Great Plains. She breaks down the regional languages as: Northeast Hand Talk (including Oneida Sign Language), Plains Sign Language, Great Basin Sign Language (spoken, for example, by the Ute), and Southwest Hand Talk. She also notes a West Coast language spoken by the Chumash, and she advances the idea that Inuit Sign Language has some relation to this complex of manual North American Indigenous languages. Unmentioned is Coast Salish Sign Language. Within each of these languages, she explains that nations will themselves have specific dialects, such as the Blackfoot.
Southwest Hand Talk is spoken by the Navajo, Hopi, Apache, and Pueblo peoples. However, amongst the Navajo and Keres people, there are two unrelated sign languages also spoken: Keresan Sign Language and, by a Navajo clan with a large number of deaf members, Navajo Family Sign. Likewise, Plateau Sign Language may or may not be related to Hand Talk.

New Megathread nerds!
No current struggle session discussion here on the new general megathread, i will ban you from the comm and remove your comment, have a good day/night :meow-coffee:
nord
What's the nerd call for?
I d/l'd and opened the pdf for Trans Liberation, and adobe acrobat gave me this message at the top
"Don't bother yourself with reading a book, just let the racism machine spit out vaguely related words at you"
Apparently its wrong to attack the leader of a mafia that extorts medication for the sick and disabled, and the supporters of a genocidal regime. Guess I took the wrong message from those superhero movies this country financed.
I'm make sure to periodically shake my head when watching John Q. to let people know I don't approve of Denzel's character's actions in the film.
My cat doing
heya all! I took a year long break from this website for health reasons - migraines, not even once. the ketamine they gave me to break them was kinda fun though.
anyone wanna hit me with the highlights? any other lemmys implode from interacting with us? struggle sessions? funny threads? hit me with them!
We almost lost the domain to some crypto guys but then it turns out everything is fine
Lemmee is going to die at the end of the month so thas fun
I personally killed lemm.ee
Just remembered Joe Biden and the Dilbert guy have cancer lol
Between walking my dog every day and now going to the gym 5-6 times a week, nobody can tell me I live a sedentary lifestyle anymore.
My gf's dad keeps talking about me bagging my grass when i mow, like, "oh your grass is getting kinda tall, might wanna bag it up" and im pretty sure the man just wants my grass for himself. Ive never mowed the yard without blowing grass all over and it's been fine, the grass just goes back into the yard yknow. This guy wants my grass to compost and that sounds like STEALING NUTRIENTS FROM MY YARD TO ME
Took a peek at Twitter. I saw a lot of self-proclaimed leftists acting like the conservative strawman of liberals. I hurry back to Hexbear.
Like, writing 5 full length replies about oppression in response to a guy's 5 word tweet (correctly) correcting a word. Or talking about how misgendering is more important than Gaza.
The worst thing though was when a bunch of "communists" replied to a right-wingers tweet about the USSR with agreement.
I can get Slammer's memes from the blog, so the only account I was mildly interested in is aldanmarki, who is suspended. Trying to look beyond that was a mistake.
I hop on xcancel to see what Fredda (@PunishedFredda) has been posting because we share very similar interests and he's pretty close to the Hexbear party line (he's not anti-Ukraine, but has consistently criticized NATO more than Russia).
I also like Eyup Lovely when he isn't unironically rowing with twitter users over something controversial he said. No hate, though, the abuse he got after calling out Owen Jones for SA when he is a victim himself was beyond the pale; I get why he pulled the mask down a little bit there.
Yea, i pretty much just look at the third-worldist part of leftist twitter because the rest its discourse about the dsa, acp or musk/trump which gets old quick
They are either ops, or twitter has melted their brain. I am so glad I stopped interacting with people on twitter.
Lathe: if Zohran pulls off the primary you WILL see lib media like NYT or CNN post articles like
“The progressive case to vote Republican. Just this once.” or some shit.
"here's why obviously good things are actually bad" - the best and brightest minds the liberal media establishment has to offer
This is what the Kkkore WorldSS truly fear

Blast me.. uh shit i mean blast em
My Spanish is not very good. A middle adult age mexican coupple is moving into the appartmnet in the building here. I helped them carry their oversized heavy ass folding couch up a few flights of stairs and get it in their unit. Then I gave them some beers. It is what marx would have wanted
contrapoints is posting through people reminding her of that time she did a show with a war criminal.
Love you all. Goodnight. Tomorrow we start building communism. Rest up, big day ahead.
BOY I SURE AM GLAD MY GF BOUGHT A FUCKING ELECTRIC LAWNMOWER THAT CAN'T MOW THE WHOLE FUCKING YARD BEFORE BOTH BATTERIES DIE, I LOVE STANDING AROUND DRENCHED IN SWEAT WITH MY DICK IN MY HAND WAITING FOR A BATTERY TO CHARGE BEFORE I CAN FUCKING TAKE A SHOWER
You gotta get one that runs on an extension cord so you can mow the cord.
Sounds like the real problem is that your yard is too big (greater than 0cm²)

I almost want to chuckle at these moderate Herzlians sloooowly realizing that the war on Gaza is not only a waste of time but a horrible atrocity.
the longer this has gone on, the worse and less defensible everything has gotten.
A pro-pally will accuse Israel of genocide now. I'll ask why they think that. Then they'll pull up an interview of a Likkud member saying that "palestinian babies are enemies", and then another of IDF soldiers making light of flattening a neighborhood, and like... I can't make a rebuttal to that because, yeah, it is genuinely fucking heinous. Then I see more reports of more civilians dead, and more reporters killed. And now they are threatening a flotilla bringing in humanitarian supplies?
The time to be outraged is far past due now, buckos. There were plenty of hints yesteryear and the year before that one that this was going to be an extermination campaign, but you preferred to bury your heads in the sand and deploy the usual Herzlian talking points (e.g. ‘Hamas uses human shields’).
If you still aren’t going to reexamine either Zionism or the alternatives thereto then I am just going to laugh when I see you infighting.
We need to be infiltrating and driving them to infighting.
With posts like
"My nephew says he's going to rip out my throat with the back of a claw hammer if I don't stop defending Israel because "hamas uses human shields" doesn't justify cooking entire families with missiles apparently"
Back in the day when I used to post on reddit on places like /r/Catholicism (horrible tradcath subreddit, I think there's an even more reactionary offshoot) one of the things that made me leave entirely was a conversation I had with someone who I mistakenly assumed to be engaging in good faith, under a post of a Francoist nun protesting divorce. I was essentially arguing that, regardless of our religious position on divorce and marriage, if it's necessary for the secular state to adopt fascism to keep divorce illegal, that definitely means the state should allow divorce to be legal (yes, this is a very weak argument. I was a lib). They replied that I was wrong about Franco and that the natural conclusion to real™️ Catholic faith was to support fascism (not even exaggerating, this was on the main Catholic subreddit
)That moment made me leave Reddit entirely pretty quick. Sometimes, if you're in a community like this, there's a lot of cultural and emotional baggage that keeps you in there, like an abusive relationship, but a conversation with an emotionally unintelligent hardliner who doesn't know how to use the usual reactionary rhetorical tricks to hide how ghoulish they are will wake you up and make you realize the spell you were under.
The tragic part is that this is obviously happening way too late for Zionists, as you said. The ones with any shred of decency should've waken up years ago.
I have browsed /r/Catholicism before. It was largely what inspired me to do more research on the Crusades, since I was surprised to see users praising them while meekly conceding that the Crusaders might have committed an atrocity or two. I was also concerned seeing praise for the Spanish Inquisition, given that its original motivation was anti-Judaism. The anti-Islam misconceptions on that subcommunity did not shock me, but the blatant disregard for Judaism and the widely held belief that all Judaists are going to Hell was baffling.
I am unsure how you still feel about Christianity, but not being an Abrahamist myself, I nevertheless enjoyed reading Jordan Denari Duffner’s Finding Jesus among Muslims: How Loving Islam Makes Me a Better Catholic. It is a welcome break from the Christian perspectives that see Islam as a ridiculously conservative phenomenon that promotes nearly every abuse imaginable, and it is relatively short, too.

Apparently one GameStop store used a stapler to attach receipts to Switch 2 boxes and the staple ruined the screen...another person commented their unit and others were affected at the same store
its funny how companies now do bad packaging just to give an "opening experience" to the buyer
I heard an interview with a guy who's spent like a decade working with a bunch of different companies to reduce wasteful designs and single use plastics in packaging. Then he watched it all evaporate as iPhone unboxing videos took off.
The Eva response is so good.
Not like us maybe starts off a little strong by calling drake a pedo repeatedly because the rest of the insults don’t hit quite as hard after. Like oh you’re also a pussy and not particularly masculine doesn’t seem that bad at that point.
I think the part where he calls him a colonizer hits pretty hard as well
Yeah, that line is really fucking good lol
Kendrick's issue with Drake is largely about Drake being a culture vulture. K.dot clearly hates Drake as a person, but Not Like Us is a club banger steeped in west-coast culture. It's structured to start hard and be popular (we all wanted to hear him say it) before diving into exactly how Drake co opts culture and a history lesson on Atlanta. Personally I like Euphoria better, but the beef music + the pop out show + dropping one of his best albums 6 months later was unbelievable. Absolutely putting Kendrick in a dominant position in the music industry.
That's why Euphoria was the best song from the beef, saved the most cutting parts for the end so it could actually ramp up.
Like oh you’re also a pussy and not particularly masculine doesn’t seem that bad at that point.
"that bad"??? Get the fuck Out of here
I’m not saying it should be an insult, my bad.
My uncle had this wolf photo on his wall when I was a kid
Many people are saying this
There is no order to the stages of grief
Wrong. There is my order!
I like to start off with acceptance. Get it out of the way so there's more time for anger.

Everyone who goes bouldering also plays Baldur's Gate and Stardew Valley and Minecraft and is very likely to be queer. I do not know why
God I wish. My gym is half granola crunchy, half right-wing, with some commies sprinkled in
When I was 12 or 13 I used BBS's, which was like a proto-internet kind of thing where your computer would dial in to other people's computers. They had games, message boards and file downloads.
Anyway, I met this guy who lived in my town through one of these. His handle was "Violator". I asked my mom to bring me to his house to hang out. She drove me, a teenager, to where this 35 year old man lived in an RV behind his parents house.
I was not molested, but looking back on it, I cannot believe my mother let me go.

I'm guessing he took his name from this character
He did kinda look like that
Did you know? They're reforming the Dawnguard.
vampires hunters or something. in the old fort near riften. thinking of joining up myself
Kitty!
where'd you get that UESP guide to morrowind? that's sick
Dog sitting at my parents' instead of being able to do Pride stuff. If I had queer friends they might wonder where I am.
They love blaming dissent on outside agitators.
how tf did they get off so light
At least 14 communists died, 67 government employees, and 428 civilians, but they just got a few arrests.
Every morning i say hello to my roomba, The Goon, in a way that makes me sound like Strongbad
Good morning The Goon! I hope you have a good day edging around the house. Do a good job The Goon or no electricity for YOU
taking the world's funniest political compass test
been listening to this one particular smooth jazz playlist while doing ridesharing... man these people play "the riff" in every single song.
Guy who refers to just taking entire tracks and selling them as your own as "sampling"
Free-sampling
For the longest time I was convinced Steph Curry was 5'7" and was so impressed that he played professionally against all those giant men
I just found out he's 6'2" what the fuck
while misgendering is on my mind idk if i posted about it but shout out to the time my dad was like "you know she's a girl dog" the time i called my dad's dog buddy
My cat was definitely dying yesterday so I said fuck it and took him to the ER to be admitted. Threw the 5k on the credit card. Not ideal but I would not have forgiven myself if I hadn't at least tried.
They say there's no guarantee it will unblock him and I definitely can't do any surgery so it's this or bust. But I would have never forgiven myself if I hadn't tried everything in my means.
It's such a strange position to be placed in, having to answer the question, "how much is this animal's life worth?"
Like there has to be a limit. But it's such a fucked up calculation to have to do when a loved one is in distress, and that is what they are ultimately.
I can't believe that we as a society just let the nft bros walk free. You should get a phone notification with exactly how much they paid for a picture of a monkey every time you talk to them.
Imagine living in a world in which everything that exists isn't constantly and relentlessly squeezed for ever growing profit.
I sense a shift in Bluesky in just the last few hours. I said I Newsom shouldn't have rolled over and he needed to do something. A lib actually had the gall to tell me "What do you want Newsom to do?" I hate that argument at Reddit because talking more is most likely pointless. At Bluesky the character limit is so low that the "what do you want" gibe is the lib working hard to nuke the convo from orbit.
It was pointless but I said I wasn't a lawyer but of course Newsom could sue, delay, etc. No replies yet. And I assume I won't get any.
--
Edit
I was wrong. The lib made a couple thoughtful replies and said he wasn't a lawyer either. But he's trying to get me to wade into this shit.
It's not the california guard, it's the national guard of california. it is under the control of the state adjutant general...
I have no idea what the "state adjutant general" is. And I'll be fucked if I'm going to learn. Oh, well. That convo is over.
My cat still hasn't peed
He has been very lethargic all day. I am not sure if it's the muscle relaxants or if he is in pain/obstructed again.
If I take him back to ER they will want to admit him and I can't pay 5k. When I tell them that they will kill him.
All I can do is pump him full of fluids and hope that he pees. Come on buddy please pee
Ok he is in his litter box. He is having a very hard time.
I'm sure he is scared and in pain from the catheter. Come on pal you can do it
The Hooters discussion today reminded me of this little gem. Maybe not worksafe, but not for the reasons you'd think. Just some next level irony and dark humor.
Was talking to the social worker helping my dad back in Texas today, she was telling me about the workers helping him, and very casually added that one of them is black, unprompted, for no apparent reason.
I do not miss Texas lmao
Anyone down to do some phallocentric communication later today?
what the fuck was wrong with the writers of The Walking Dead that made them constantly introduce and then kill off likeable characters but then like the absolutely insufferable characters stick around FOREVER
I'm so sick of Gabriel and I want him to just fucking die already but woops, nope, he lives until season fucking 11 or some bullshit?? Christ on a cracker, fuck, he literally tried to die twice in this fucking episode ahhhhhh god damn it. Meanwhile it's like one more season until they kill Glenn, a character who is actually likeable
WILL NO ONE RID THIS SHOW OF THIS TURBULENT PRIEST
edit: oh my god they never kill him fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
This online tea shop is telling me to join a Discord for deals, I'm thinking of becoming anti-civ
I found a small lizard in my bathroom. I googled how to catch him but - of course - google was shit and it wasted my time. I ended up using an old tofu container and a dust mop which is very soft.
I felt like the biggest idiot in the world. This is my plan? Yet within 30 seconds I had him. With the mop I somehow gently flipped him into the container. And then with equal care I pinned him to the side of the container. I was worried he'd fall to the floor and get badly hurt. But he didn't move. I got him to the front door, opened it, put the container down, and he scampered away.
I made a mistake and I'm very lucky he didn't fall to the floor. If I do this again - I'll add a book to my toolkit. After put him in the container - I'll use the book as a cover so he can't escape prematurely.
I may be wrong, but I think a small lizard would be unharmed by any fall unless much higher because of their low mass, like a squirrel can fall out of a tree from 30 feet and bounce off the ground without an injury, at least on grass. Definitely better to be safe with the critter though anyway!
The trick I use for spiders n such is placing a cup or similar clear vessel over them to trap them against the surface they're on, then sliding a firm flat object like cardboard under, covering the opening so it can be lifted up without them escaping.
I may be wrong,
You are completely correct! It is called the Square Cube Law, and states that as the area of an animal increases, its volume and mass increases cubically, that is; very fast. So you could throw a mouse, a human and an elephant off of the 3rd story of a building, the mouse would be unharmed, the human break their legs, and the elephant... poor elephant. So most if not all small animals need not fear heights as much as we do.
books are goated in small-animal-in-house matters. universally applicable.
Very true.
Rant. Damn you, google. Why can't you give me simple advice like a book is— Ah, fuck it. Ranting isn't even fun anymore. I just want the stupid fucking thing to work.
well that's one way to eat cheetos
But why don't you want a small lizard in your house? They eat bugs, probably. I know house geckos are good to have around, in regions that they live in.
My state doesn't have geckos. I think house lizards are a tropics thing. Where I live is far from tropical. I think the lizard would starve to death.
--
Ninja edit #1. My state does have geckos. What the heck. I had no idea. I wonder if they're invasive.
Ninja edit #2. There are three species. Two of them are native. I have a lot to learn about my state's lizards. I wonder what other "common sense" nature stuff I'm all wrong about. In my defense - I live in a very large state. It's not like it's Rhode Island over here.
Cool cool, cool.

The deployment of the California National Guard might end up being a first step if federal agents are attacked again in Los Angeles, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said tonight, adding that he might deploy U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton in San Diego County to support federal law enforcement.
"They are on high alert," he said.

I fucking hate it here

trying to take care of a cat with gingivitis and all of the pet toothbrushes are so much harder than the people ones... why is this world so needlessly cruel
I feel ya and feel for ya. I often wonder the same...
Thank you so much for doing what you can to take care of the poor kitty! 💖 I hope it's going as well as possible. Hopefully you can find a better brush, or maybe a nice forum of experts in caring for kitty gingivitis that can steer you in the right direction or something. 🤞 I wish you and kitty all the best!
thank you! i switched to using a cloth to apply the toothpaste, but tried what you said and now he's getting his own baby toothbrush and a few treats as an apology 💖
Probably not a super common opinion I imagine, but I wish developers (or producers more likely) would respect the settings of their own games a little more. All these immersion-annihilating crossovers, memes and references are feeling extremely played out.
I understand "indie studios" (AKA teams of 30+ people with the resources of enormous corporate publishers) eagerly welcome crossovers for the sake of growing their brand, but as a player it thoroughly dilutes my interest to see a bunch of clashing aesthetics overlap.
why lookie here, a solid example
the amount of stylistic incongruity in this image is giving me a headache
I didn't realize someone had posted this here on hexbear when I pasted the image into this comment lol
"roman" is a very interesting visual design theme, tbh. there's like 2-3 actual elements and then just vibes that go with them, and all of these are shared with any other hellenistic vibe.
it'd be fun to take nondescript hellenistic scenes and change the palette and ask if people think theyre greek or roman honestly. red is kinda coded roman, or spartan

rewatching s1 of true detective again. holy christ it's so good
I REALLY need to grow weed because the cost to buy it is so exorbitant but it is so very necessary to my quality of life
I think i fucked up though, this seedling just never did anything. It sprouted and then never grew further and now 2 weeks later it's turning yellow, still no primary leaf development
Was it just a dud or did i fuck up leaving it outside? I figured the last one i fucked up by not acclimating it properly (wind force twisted and killed it i guess, friction with the pot wore through the stem or something) so i left this one outside as soon as it sprouted. But it just never DID anything, just sitting there with its cotyledons
what type of dirt did you use? did you come across seeds or buy feminised ones online?
personally I've always had success using root riot after germination, then implant the cubes into dirt pots after first shoots and roots are established
And buying feminised seeds online is much better than sifting out duds and males from other seed sources, and you can choose an auto flower strain if time to yield is something you care about, and what % indica/sativa cross you want
Other than that I guess you looked up sensible lighting and water/feeding schedule, and didnt go under or over on any of those varibles?
Just like idk regular dirt. All my other pottedv plants are in the same shit and be bangin
It was a seed of indeterminate age though, i have an old tupperware with like, seeds and shit. Probably 2+ years old. So i figure it was just like too old idk. It sprouted and i planted it and then it it outside but aside from growing an inch past the dirt it never did anything else 😔
I gave it fertilizer but it still did nothing
My second favorite part about having a roomba after having mostly clean floors is that I get to fulfill my patriotic duty of sending data on my home to the Chinese govt. Idk what Xi Jinping will do with a LIDAR scan of my nude body walking down the hallway but whatever it's for, I know it's furthering the communist cause
You couldn't even GET this level of peace of mind buying American
I’ve grown to love pineapples as of late.
For whatever reason, kid me didn’t like them that much but if I appreciate one thing about adulthood is that foods like pineapples, strawberries, blueberries all appeal to me.
I wish I was half as brave as all the homies throwing the fuck down in LA right now

Cleaned out a half gallon jug no one was using in my house, gonna be filling it in the morning with smoothies every morning. Been making oatmeal with peanut butter, whatever canned fruit I got, and some soy milk/water. The training class for I'm doing is pretty much you can take breaks but if I do this it'll give me more time to study and get some extra notes in. I'm not in the soylent shake stage yet but damn if I'm not getting there besides I'll eat solid food when I get home.
I've been going through it and not hiding it at all (not in my skillset). My boss caught me kicking a trashcan over and shouting cause I was briefly inconvenienced.
The rare occasion where male gender standards of sweeping shit under the rug can be used for good.
Pretty sure if my boss caught me doing the same it would earn me respect. Everyone gives me shit for never getting outwardly upset

Procedure went well, now I'm on cat pee watch for 24h but at least we get to go home
Good luck to you and your Kitty
Good news, I was able to recover basically all my files. I think I might have damaged my power supply unit or some cable might have broken, or it's just very dirty and it's not working now. Anyway, I'm just glad I was able to get my stuff back and i'll probably be able to get my pc fixed or a new pc by the end of the week.
So there are some liberal protests going on (https://www.nokings.org/), would it be a good idea to go to one and start handing out some commie propaganda? There's no orgs to do so in my area, so it would just be me.

I fixed the stupid pesticide jug with the built in pump. In case anyone else gets a spectracide flip & go home defense thing and turns it sideways and the pump stops pumping pesticide and googling it is fucking worthless, the top part screws off and I just idk ran hot water over it while pressing the pump button and it started working again
The one thing I notice about gen alpha is they post memes with indecipherable text. Gray writing on white background?! Light blue text over an image?! Who taught these kids graphic design?
I fucking hate Copyright. This shit was published 61 years ago. The author died back in 2019. Please, why is it still copyrighted up till 2059. (hey, at least it isn't as bad as This Soviet World)
Well, in good news the new Andy Serkis Animal Farm movie looks fucking terrible
It literally could never be good. It's a based on an allegorical novella that's just a heavy handed polemic about how the soviet union is bad. What is amusing is that from this trailer, they've somehow totally misunderstood what the point was even thought Animal farm might be the least subtle narrative ever written.

Look at me being an adult with my meal prepping and making sure I have a change of underwear for everyday of the week. This is pure skill before I know it I'll have a good job, a hot bod (been exercising everyday and fasting every other day) and third desirable thing. This is my glow up arc in progress but I'm glowing up
There's that bit in Always Sunny where someone is like "I feel like when I'm winning at that game, I'm winning at life." Nightreign gives me the opposite feeling. I had time for one game and I fucked up on the first night, only level 2. I felt like a failure and less valuable as a human being. Meanwhile everyone else seems to be at the endgame.
Fuck this.
I began to explain I mostly collect for Playstation and Sega consoles, as those were the systems I had the most interest in.
I don't remember the exact response, but the tone of his voice suggested he was unimpressed with my choice of the first two Ratchet & Clank games. "The real money was in Atlus games. Have you heard of Persona?" Despite answering "yes", he proceeded to give a surface level explanation of it to me as if I said nothing at all.
As the man continued to yap at me, my guard started to lower and the realization of what I was dealing with struck me to core. What stood before me was a Type of Guy(tm) that those of us who collect and play retro games have heard stories of but have never personally seen. Like a serial killer that was never caught and walks amoung us.
. . .
When I see Nintendo Quest, I see that same Kind of Guy: the vapid collector with too much time and money on his hands, scooping up games not for play but to keep in their suburban dungeons for years until they're ripe enough again to resell. I see a bunch of nerds who want respect but deserve nothing but contempt.
They should make a movie about a guy that has the complete collections of every console game in roms on a server and never plays them.
The only thing I like about the really high desk/table at the place I'm covering a shift today is that I can sit under it and its dark and relaxing. The chair here aren't the most comfortable and the lights are a tad bright (same at my usual workplace though).
Someone working at the grocery store i go to has been increasingly clearly trying to flirt with me (made a point to show me pics on their phone of new pants they bought from hot topic, asked if i ever shopped there acted super impressed when I said all of my clothes are from donation bins and asked what anime I liked when I mistook a band logo for the bleach logo and said 'oh theyre anime pants?' As a best guess, I know very little anime and just recognized the logo but had already been asked what ani.e I liked and mentioned I'd gotten into to gundam recently and they said they'd check it out and recommended Eva. I tried to get an age mention by saying I'd seen it priestly way too young when vhs fandubs were a thing cause im pretty sure they're too young and think im like a decade younger than I am, maybe they aren't and id dste anyone who is that interested in me from the start. It's just like...now as a customer should I be like "noticed you've been hitting on me are you at least like...25 or so cause I'm in my early 30s." Or them being at work and aski g me out and me replying with that.
I replaced the shifters (and break levers) on my bike today.
The barrel adjuster on the left shifter was cracked and there was no way to fine-tune the front derailleur, which needed fine-tuning after I replaced the chainwheel a couple weeks back.. The right shifter was okay, but it made sense to do both. Now I've got the front derailleur working more-or-less perfectly. The rear is a bit wonky, but it's close.
The more you eat the more you poop. It's just science.
i love curry ketchup so much. the adolfs don't get enough credit for that one
The Adventures of an Amazon Delivery Driver!
A fortnight ago I was feeling really super stiff and sore all the time so on the occasion of my weekend, I went absolutely ham stretching my hammies, hips and lower back. Well a good idea went bad and shortly after I made a random movement and totally threw out my back/hips. Super pain, zero mobility. Spent A WEEK mostly laying on my back in bed missing work. So a lovely 8 day weekend where I didn't rest, have fun, or study (I still hold onto the fantasy of doing an IT job instead of this shit).
I did one day on-one day off and my hip was still hurting. Yesterday I did another day and it felt okaaaaaay. Today they asked me if I wanted to take ""voluntary time off"" and I just said yes without pushback. I've now lost a whole week's worth of hours.
And to think last month I was worried about my hours getting cut because of trump tariffs.
This post sparked a memory for me. I think I was taught a couple signs in Hand Talk when I was really young, like 5 years old, for a play at school. It was almost certainly racist. We had one kid in our class who was Native American, and he mysteriously didn't come back to that school the next year.
Tried converting an epub to kepub (epub for kobo ereaders) and it actually makes the reading experience so much better
Wait fr? I have a kobo and didn't know this
How are you getting your books?
If youre getting from libby there won't be a difference but if you download from annas archive/z library or something similar I can't recommend it enough
I used calibre (its free) to do it.
I was having an issue with the epub having weird formatting that gave huge borders and spacing issues so there'd be like 25 words per page and this formats it correctly, it also makes it so the in text citations show up in a little window instead of it taking you to a different page and having to wait for it to load, and makes the page count accurate to what font size you have
also if you want to export your highlights into a word doc, I think the site is the easiest way to do it: https://mollykannn.github.io/kobo-book-exporter/
edit: it looks like the original website i linked doesnt work anymore but this one looks like the exact same one but came out earlier than the one i was using and doesnt ask for donations
Edit again: actually this one doesn't have the export option but you can copy paste
better how? I always use epubs. am I missing out?
Just started Gundam Stardust Memory I'm at episode 4 and having a swell time. I really like the lesbian military contractor couple. Edit: I haven't seen Jaburo pronounced the same in any dub. 79 it's jabuh-ro, in zeta it's Ja-bore-o and in this it's Job-Uro
I think in 08th MS Team they call it JAHB-roh
You're totally right! I got past the scene when typing and got mixed up.
@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net, After a week of using that anti-dust spray I did a round two this weekend and there was barely any dust. I think most of the dust that was there was due to me not swapping cloths enough during my first clean last week. So I think I can confirm that it works pretty well. Only thing I would change would be adding like at least 1-2 teaspoons of some kinda' scent/oil to override the white vinegar smell that it'll have for a couple hours.
My room's nicely dust-free for a week+ when I'd sometimes dust on like a Friday afternoon and notice things gettin' dusty again on Monday.

Least drunk Dane live on Summer Game Fest
So my pc broke, idk if it's 100% dead or not but I guess I fucked it up. It was a 8 year old pc, but it still sucks to lose it.
It's going to be a long hot summer. One where you personally decide if you want to stick to theory or graduate to practice
Ah, was too busy staring at my phone to get my stretches in today. Rough.
Well, that phone won't stare at itself

Someone I know has been hired to play D&D with people as a form of therapy. The idea is cool. The DM is one of the therapees (What do you call a person who receives therapy? Patient seems the wrong word considering the intervention is D&D). Does the group also do other forms of group therapy, I wonder (If so it's not my acquaintance who is responsible for that. They play D&D with the group). I should ask them about the mechanics, but I only vaguely know them and it feels weird to contact an acquaintance just to ask about the mechanics of their job.
Lazy Sunday morning on the balcony - she's reading
I'm reading . Sun isn't too hot, good dog at our feet. Doesn't get much better.Lyft put a $4 bonus zone over my house for some reason. I have no idea why because my town is pretty small and nobody is ever requesting rideshare up here - my theory is that one person tried and failed to get a ride and that triggered the algorithm to put the zone here.
I logged on and grabbed it of course, but that was over an hour ago and no rides. I'm almost certainly not going to get anything until I choose to go into town later at the normal time I start working, but hey $4 is $4 gimme that money.
I get the same in my small town, but with Uber. Some big incentives, like $50 for 3 rides, or $20 for 1, but whenever I turn it on I get nothing.
I should probably leave it on, but I already have trouble keeping my phone charged during my other gig work. Plus Uber has that stupid overlay that gets in the way.
I hate that overlay thing, you used to be able to turn it off but now the app refuses to work without it. On iOS it doesn't even exist (rare iOS W)
Thank God my friend hit me up to go to the punk rock show or I probably would've chickened out again
Hope my allergies do not destroy me on the bike ride there

When the Low Mods Rise
Postelaire
When the heavy moderation weighs like a
lid on my spirit, yearning to post
And when the modlog stretches to the horizon,
sadly removing more comments than any sad silence,
When the replies stretch down as prison bars,
And new alts are created, hurting their timid pride
And bitterness behind the signup self-flagellation
And the dripping digital gulag walls...
When the rain of notifications streak down,
A silent swarm of removed come to weave
into the site their smug callout threads
Then suddenly the Admin pins a post.
Casting their hideous new rules to the front page--
Like wailing wraiths shrieking "problematic!" across the site
With woke posts upbeared high.
My account is banned as slow processions of accusations
And misinfo pierce my soul

Dyed my jeans, some underwear, and a raycon undershirt tonight with some royal blue dye. The jeans were already lightened a little with bleach so now they're kind of a golf pant blue, if literally anyone can understand what I mean by that. The stitching didn't get dyed so the bright gold/brown against the blue looks pretty nice to me. Underwear got a little darker than I wanted. I should have pulled them earlier but they were bleach-stained anyway so maybe it's better this way since the bleach stain's almost totally invisible (I deep-clean the house in my underwear usually). The undershirt didn't dye that evenly because it balled up pretty hard and I kept trying to unball it but I guess I didn't do it well enough. It's OK since it's just a light tie-dye affect on the back and it's an undershirt. Trying to diversify the colours of underwear/undershirts I have to match my outer-clothes a bit more. Also as a man I can't really think of many ways to diversify my clothes that isn't like: colours, patterns, maaaaaybe some bracelets or a necklace (not keen), and I don't know what else. When I was more skinny and scene I'd have a bandana sometimes, but no idea if I looked good or not.
Gunna' try to hem another pair of jeans I have that are way too long because I'm all torso and short in the leg. Zora-esque, perhaps.

I saw a comment somewhere here referencing Imaginal Disk as an album 'every music nerd should listen to,' I'm paraphrasing but that was the gist... one week later and I'm obsessed, it has completely taken over my brain and I'm rocking the whole album start to finish multiple times a day. It's been years since music hit me like this.
Well thanks for that
Any time
I really enjoyed their first album when it came out 4 years ago (weird it was that long ago). Havent been in a good enough mood for synthpop atm though. I haven’t listened to it (lol) but Eusexua by Fka Twigs is probably up your alley. She was one of the first artists that legit blew my fucking mind when I was a freshman in high school circa 2015. Ants from up There by Black Country, New Road, Ill add. And Ill just rec Skinty Fia by Fontaines DC like the fanboy I am.
sorry to hear about the mood... hope things turn around. couldn't hurt to listen to some new music to distract from the pain a bit! their new album is at times pretty dark musically and lyrically. if you're anything like me, that kind of stuff can be healing.
thanks for the recs, I'll check those out. I was a freshman in high school circa 1985. I dunno how old magdalena and bay are but they've listened to a lot of pop music from those days. ID was the first thing I heard from them. still working through their back catalog but I'm impressed. Top Dog put a big smile on this old face. cheers
Nickelback was underrated
I think that's right yeah. Or at least the hate for them was out of proportion. I don't really listen to that cracker shit so much but Worthy to Say was a good track

idk, I always hated them, even more so after I started working retail and had to listen to that shit on loop all day

I found a 1 GB MicroSD card stuck in a full-size SD card adapter while rummaging through a desk today. How adorable
Didn't even realize MicroSD cards ever came in such small sizes
I remember paying $20 for a 2GB sd card in the 2000s. I think Sansa MP3 players were using MicroSD as early as 2006
I just never really owned anything that used MicroSDs until I started using smartphones by which time I feel we were well beyond 1GB sd cards. Not sure where I even got this 1GB card from or what I used it for 🤔
Make sure to save it. Might be handy or old hardware that has weird SD card size limits.
I need small SD cards like this to update the firmware on my 3D printer
I just bought a USB flash drive for like 20 bucks with 256 GB on it.... The last time I bought one was in like 2012 and it has 4 GB storage lol I don't even know if I could find something that small anymore
Anyone able to recommend some easy-to-watch anime? Just finished watching Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan and found it very enjoyable. Anything out there with a similar low-stakes, laid back vibe? I don't watch a ton of anime so I don't know where to look.
New mega already? Damb how time flies
Locked the megathread on one of my posts once again. I see what you're doin' mods.
There should be a 1hr warning before threads lock cos its heartbreaking to lose a big comment/reply like that
Okay I made an account again to post smth last night but I was having mental health (i may have possibly talked to a LLM chatbot and had a smol break with reality) so my normal "post it coward" self rule is not gonna be followed this time. Watching a crazy person talk to several people who aren't there, aided by chatbots, is going to be depressing no matter the content.
This daily thread comment is me weaseling out of the self rule and thank goodness chapo makes you wait for human review to get an account.
Edit: Ya know, people with whatever is wrong with me prolly shouldn't talk to LLMs. Show me a parrot that sounds just like me and I'm going to lose my shit about how we need to free the machine intelligences.
I don't like compassion is a clear indicator of insanity.

Deltarune keep crashing on me. Sucks cuz I got past the part that's crashing earlier today, but I went back to try and get some stuff I missed, and now I can't get past it a second time.

I'm dehydrated for dummy reasons. I like drinking out of sport bottles but sport bottles don't have even water to hydrate me so I just don't drink water.
You could refill often? Only drinking out of sports bottles is understandable tho, it’s fun to squeeze the bottle and waterfall into your mouth.

Got tested for Covid and the flu since I'm coming up on a week of having a stuffy nose and some throat discomfort. Thankfully negative on both and its probably seasonal allergies. But its been a while since I've been hit this hard. Not that I feel terrible or anything, just annoyed.
Here's what everyone does by human nature: Whenever Halloween comes, you all think quite often a lot about listening and watching these R-rated horror flicks. Sometimes, you all think of aliens/extraterrestrials. Sometimes goblins, wizards, or even centaurs.
Silly question, but I can't find an answer that isn't targeted at anti-fluoride weirdos online:
I want fluoride in my water to protect my teeth and my family's teeth.
I use a water filter.
Should I be concerned that the filter is removing our fluoride?
(You can't Google this because the responses are all either crazy MAHA stuff or people begging MAHA people not to buy filters specifically to remove fluoride. I'm just using a normal filter.)
i'd look at the specifications and construction of your filter, see what it does and is rated for, then compare the characteristics of fluoride. sorry for an 'it depends' but some kinds of water treatment effect fluoride and some don't.
seems like testing for fluoride specifically is a pain in the ass so you're better off just making an educated guess from the specs.
kind of interesting how video games do eternal magical lighting in places that shouldn't have lights for gameplay purposes (some exceptions for treasure-hunter games deliberately imitating films)
but films always have characters create or cause lighting for say, ancient tombs.
and both of these are the easier option in the medium, creating whole systems for lighting/extinguishing sources needed for gameplay is excessive work, yet keeping consistent lighting, esp. when it involves flammables is time sensitive with film, so it makes more sense to incorporate into scenes
idk what it is about this game in particular, normally I legitimately don't care at all about getting 100% and just go through a game's critical path, but I guess I'm so invested in this one I can't bear the thought of missing anything so I haven't even started chapter 4 yet.
Folks, is there a Firefox extension to hide bluecheck fascists on X that actually works? The fucking pay to win sorting algorithm has been made worse than its ever been.

I remember back when playing DnD 2.0, the DM mentioned how Drow language was like 20% sign language due to being sneaky and having to navigate the Underdark and all its terrors. Was a fun detail and not sure how well that survived into later editions.
I know part of the media for the drakengard series is playing the game to get the message across but fuck me does playing drakengard 1 kinda suck. I powered through the first part because kept hearing how great the series is but ran out of juice after a while with how the gameplays. Might just watch a play through and jump to 3 though I hate doing this with games.
Dreamt I was discussing the intricacies of the yakuza games with someone and having a spirited discussion. Wish I could do that but no one I know plays it like I do so I can't discuss what I wanna
::: spoiler spoiler 3 tried to do criticism of the military industrial complex only to fall short on rouge CIA agent while 6 does it forcing most of japan trying and failing to put kiryu down end game. Just something interesting though because it was kiryu's "last" game I feel like it gets lost from the personal narrative. I do find the switch from 6 to 7 and the dissolving of the tojo to be good. Having these games finally have a departure and continuation of the old stories is nice.I always contend the last game should be able to stand alone as an ending in case the IP is never brought up again. Yakuza 1 ended with so many people dead and kiryu happily adopting haruka to live together then 2 happens and then he's with the cop lady happy ever after then 3 happens and so on. I liked 0 but it being a forgone conclusion kind of messed up my enjoyment. The kiwami remasters are nice and I have come around to being open to 3-5 getting that treatment too :::
Roomba trip report: i really like having it, my floors are so adequately clean, if i step on cat litter i tell that fucker to run and hey my floor is clean again. I was worried the mopping wouldn't be good and i'm not about to have it mop up a big spill but the floors don't feel super sticky anymore, i can live without socks on. It's actually really nice because unless i make a huge mess somewhere or it breaks i don't think i'll ever have to vacuum or mop again

RG Veda had some really good music in its OST, although I don't think it played much of it during the actual OVA. I'd have to rewatch.

Been trying to find Deltarune's secrets without looking them up. Against all odds I found the chapter 3 egg but now I can't for the life of me figure out where to put it. How long will I continue my search before I break and look it up? I've run back and forth clicking on everything probably three or four times.
Drakenier series is actually part of the kaiju genre, and is in fact its highest development. Giant androgynous demon mother falls from the sky, kills off humanity with a mass pollution (fallout/microplastic/mako) event, failure of international governance, men become obsolete, and mankind is replaced by (female/genderless) machine intelligence. The reason Yoko Taro wears the Emil mask is to hide the fact that she is actually Nyx Land.

Apparently shit was popping off in Los Angeles today. ICE was doing raids all over the city. I've seen some clips. There were flash bangs, someone almost run over by a car. I know they did stuff in Chicago and Denver before. They just attacking one city at a time to do this stuff?
It's awful but it also seems to be causing quite the backlash. Hope it at least radicalize some people to join an organization.
