Arceus Apologist (and boy do they have a lot of apologizing to d

I'm looking for Sandstorm, River, and Ocean to complete my collection. Thanks to anyone who can help out!

14 years ago when I had recently moved to Alaska, I went hiking with an Aleut friend, and she pointed to a feather lying on the ground and said "hey that's a bald eagle tail feather, you should grab it!" and I was like "uhh I'm very white and that's very illegal" and she went "they're fuckin everywhere up here man. I have 20." so she grabs it off the ground and hands it to me and says "there, now it's a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person."

and I'm like, okay, cool, I guess this is how we do things in Alaska. nice.

so I keep this bald eagle tail feather around for years. display it in my home among other cherished memorabilia from places I've lived and visited, etc.

on a whim, I have just now looked it up. there is no exemption to that law for a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person. the last 7 years I lived in the US, I was technically a bald eagle poacher.

the law against 'picking feathers up off the ground' means that you can't go shoot an eagle then sell the feathers on etsy by saying you 'just found them'. you can't own them no matter where they came from, which makes sure that they're not going to come from any birds killed and then secretly disposed of.

Entrepreneur: I've improved the wheelchair by...

Actual Wheelchair Users: Making it cheaper?!

Entrepreneur: ...creating a wildly inconvenient version for seven bazillion dollars that weighs as much as a grown man, goes 100mph and can't be taken on a plane.

Actual Wheelchair Users: What?! No, I can't afford a basic chair that meets my medical needs.

Entrepreneur: I just want to improve people's lives...

Actual Wheelchair Users: Make insurance pay for the perfectly reasonable, normal, not weird wheelchair my doctor prescribed for me.

make stuff that is designed to fit on to an existing wheelchair!

Don't say "I made a special luggage set that can attach to the back of a wheelchair!"

Say: "I made an adapter that fits most standard luggage sets and lets you easily attach them to the back of your wheelchair!

Don't say "I made a new power chair with extra light long lasting custom batteries!"

Say "I made an extra light long lasting battery that will fit most standard power chairs."

Don't make a new wheelchair - make better after market parts: forks, casters, suspension systems, footrests, etc., Make them affordable and backwards compatible with most chairs.

THIS was posted by the current President....

Presumably it was supposed to project an image of utter masculinity.... which would surely test even the most soulless of generative AI programs, but this... THIS?

This may simultaneously be amongst the most horrifying AND most gay things I've seen in my long life.

The closest thing I can think of is those old Sino/Soviet posters all about men striving together which just looks like they're a slightly adorable gay couple, sometimes bringing up their kids together.

The central image strives for manliness, though I can only hear Jabba the Hutt's theme playing in my head as I look at it.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

I really liked this hen so i went to the artists page and I am floored at the skill and beauty of these sculptures. Anyone who has built anything with the help of chicken wire knows that it is not an easy material to work with but this artist is able to make very realistic organic shapes with it. I love the softness, i love the wire people and how the wild birds use them as perches.

Runner beans, they are so funny and whimsical

Sculptures about to go to their new home, the hare and owl are amazing and the guineas look just like the real thing lol
