I mean… Dinosaur depictions changed wildly from when I was little.

But the neat thing about science is that they can admit that their best evidence might be flawed and they will keep working on it when proven wrong.

Religion on the other hand…

Too many to list.

They all either:

Died

Got cancelled

Pandered to a younger audience of which I am not.

The heat has been kicking my little plot into overdrive. I had to raise up the pest net to allow the little ones to grow safely… But they’re also crowding the heck out of each other at the moment. I think the greenbeans might kill out the less leafy carrots, but we’ll see how they get along.

Yes, but 4 years ago was an interesting time in my life. I had just quit smoking, rented a house above my means to give my disabled sister somewhere safe to live while grieving over her deceased caregiver, and spent whatever money I had saved to move her across the country.

She’s thankfully doing well now and engaged with someone she is absolutely head over heels for.

I’m still financially recovering, but things are moving in the correct directions.

100%'d blast corps back in the day, caught the hylian loach before there were any guides about it in ocarina of time.

And more (but not terribly) recently, I completed an ‘all bosses’ challenge run in terraria in which I made all naturally spawning blocks indestructible.

Elephant with some birds on it?

Terraria. An old friend popped up to ask me if I’d like to play and it’s been many updates ago and at least a decade since I last played. We are playing both calamity and Fargo souls mods mashed together and having a hell of a time with the extreme difficulty as we work through the boss fights.

Not to mention our life schedules work out to 2 hours a day.

I used to know one who would go for “here’s $100”, though that was many many years ago and I don’t know if she still lives that kind of life. I haven’t kept up with anyone from high-school, much less friends of friends.

You’ve been missing out. Customizable vapes allow for flavor and nicotine customizations as well. I weened myself off of the nicotine some years ago, but I do still occasionally take a poof of the melon mix that I like.

The part that’s wild to me is people who have the option to never touch the addictive agent of smoking still opt into it for some strange reason.

Donald Trump 's Get-Out-The Vote Plan is bonkers.

Yeah, we know.

You can’t be out here frying them jawns with any old batter either. It needs to be either cake or cornbread batter.

I dunno. I grew up around a lot of horned lizards and they are awesome. Bump them up to small dog size and they’d still be awesome, though significantly more dangerous.

It’s the one game I would suggest hands down to anyone to play. From non-gamers on up. The game is a short masterpiece and one of a very few to elicit an emotional reaction out of me. I cannot sing it’s praises enough.

Awww. Checkdude, why? It’s so early.

You can read more about it here.

I had to read more about it myself and I am mistaken in the origins of it. It’s not that most other creatures evolved out of it, we’re just one of the ‘lucky’ few to develop it.

I do occasionally touch on others trades, and it’s usually because I work on scattered sites where I and my one partner are in a house together alone. Requesting someone to stop what they are doing and come out to where I am to (usually) remove something that’s in the way of my progress is a waste of both our times. I will take stuff out, but it’s up to them to put it back, and I always let them know ahead of time to get the all clear and somehow still get talked to about it later.

Construction carpenter. I do a majority of the tasks for building most structures. From rough structure to final touches I do a lot.

Good God I wish they’d bring back the morrowind cave systems. Each one hand crafted, sprawling with secrets abound. I recall spelunking in that game within a single cave for multiple hours, which felt like an in game week spent searching every nook and cranny. It was amazing to finally get out of and back into the sunshine.

Oblivion caves and dungeons for the most part felt like cookie cutter nonsense, and while the Skyrim caves and dungeons felt better, the quick loop to the beginning was a persistent theme and really took away from the immersion. There were at least a handful of complex cave systems.

I finally started doing story missions in dragons dogma 2. I’m level 60 and just started quests in the first main city.

Inoreader for android. It’s just a news links aggregator that you opt in various topics or networks and get fed a plethora of headlines and links to the articles. Sometimes they’ll even grab a paragraph or two from the article. I started using that at the same time I hopped on Lemmy.
