Yeah. Although I guess now I don't really know how resin would handle those kinds of support either.
And yeah, it is pretty funny that a resin printer and curer and ventillation setup comes out cheaper than most 40k armies. But the answer probably is to scale up models (there is an artist on mastodon I keep meaning to throw money at).
Thanks
Fuck xitter
But expect a LOT more of this to come. A lot of sites already break on firefox just because various things are sandboxed. But there is active incentive for them to disable themselves to switch people back to Chrmoium
The meme sub. Where people intentionally try to make jokes and antagonize each other?
There are many shades of tankies.
The hardcore Hasan fans (and, probably Hasan himself) are generally good folk with strong leftist ideals who drink a bit too much of the kool-aid and have a tendency to be useful idiots who spew blatant pro-russian propaganda (remember the first few days of the war in Ukraine? I sure do). But when someone they know/"know" cares about them is saying something? They listen.
Hexbear and lemmygrad are full of the kind of tankies who manipulate THOSE tankies. The ones who are gleeful to spew pro-russian propaganda because it proves they are REALLY leftist... or because they are literally paid to do so.
I am an AAPI. I already know no candidate gives a shit about me. Hell, it says something when frigging Yang seemed palatable for like... five minutes. And with the way geopolitics is shaking up? If you thought the anti-asian hate was bad during the lockdown parts of COVID, just wait until we are in a cold war gone lukewarm against china like we are with russia.
And that is why a lot of AAPI folk kind of go right wing. They, like their parents, decide it is easier to try to ingratiate themselves wit hteh white supremacists than to show solidarity. But the rest of us? We rapidly learn that there IS no solidarity with us because we are "model minorities" and get told to shut the fuck up when more important minorities are being discriminated against.
But also? That isn't the only issue. There are AAPI women and AAPI lgbtq+ folk and so forth. And thus, you actually look at the issues and vote in your interests even if neither party really gives a shit. Because you have more than one issue (and, even that, one party is still a lot less shitty)
So if "Well... neither is great but one is a whole lot worse in these very concrete ways" isn't working?
You get a celebrity influencer to say it. Like Sanders.
Generally speaking, people AREN'T saying "vote with us or else you're a piece of shit" to anyone who is (good faith) complaining about Biden's horrendous record on genocide and Kamala being unlikely to be much better. We almost always point out "Yeah... it sucks. But do you think trump will be any better? and get responses along the lines of "WELL I WON'T VOTE FOR GENOCIDE!! THAT IS MY LINE!!!"
It has nothing to do with the way the message was said and pretending otherwise is an active insult to everyone who gives a shit.
The only reason this MIGHT make a dent is because it is Bernie Sanders. The guy who opened a lot of people's minds to the reality that there is something better than late stage capitalism and beltway liberals.
People have been doing exactly that since back when we were trying to somehow get Biden to win.
The message isn't the thing. It is the speaker. Because even the tankiest of tankies are going to be wary of insulting Sanders in front of their audience. And this is why celebrity endorsements matter.
I am just going to say this one more time because I am quite certain you aren't reading anything:
Explanation, not excuse.
What you listed is an explanation. That explains WHY people are assholes. That does not excuse them being an asshole. And it is incredibly important to understand that.
Because excusing the pure evil of what a "side of the aisle" is doing in favor of "coming together"? That is how we got into this fucking mess. We refused to actually codify abortion rights because we didn't want to anger people and, as a result, roughly half the country lost basic human rights while they were eating lunch. We try to compromise on people's fundamental right to exist which leads to the stupidity of "I guess I'll only breathe every other day?"
Understand where people came from. Do not excuse the fucking evil they did. Because if the only way they will oppose outright fucking evil is if you give them a handy? Fuck 'em. They are monsters who will never actually concede and just want to force you to concede.
Because
Low taxes for me, high for thee. Government spending on me, none for thee. Deregulation for me, suffocating anti-competitive requirements for thee
sounds like an evil mother fucker to me. And you yourself acknowledge
You can convince a narcissist that you are on their side, and that helping you helps them. This will only last as long as you are on their side.
Any compromise with them is just enabling them. Explain to them why they are wrong. Point out what the magats are doing to them. But fuck any concessions. We did that for decades and just lose and lose and lose.
Yes. Explanation, not excuse.
It is still very much their fault. Because, as the various internet atheists (self included) love to point out: Most of their hate and bigotry is outright against the bible. So even in their echo chambers they had opportunities to think for themselves.
And yes, win hearts and minds. Hell, keep doing that after Tuesday because we are definitely looking at chaos for months. But NEVER excuse the hatred and bigotry. They are wrong. Their being wrong has actively stolen basic human rights from roughly half the country and their being wrong is working to steal human rights from even more people.
Being brainwashed and indoctrinated is an explanation, not an excuse.
They are still causing harm and they are still at fault for that. We can just understand how they got that way.
Because the average person isn't watching the news. They aren't buying newspapers.
And of the two ends of the spectrum? Leftists are very much in the 90s Talk Radio stage of things where "Wow, this person has some great ideas and I am glad I can hear such a left leaning viewpoint. OOH!! This person is best friends with putin and is going to explain to me why the US are really the villains in every war on earth" just with Twitch instead of AM radio.
So if a "mainstream news media" outlet wants to survive? They have to at least avoid alienating those right wing fascists.
To be fair, that is true of all miniatures and model kits. It is generally less noticeable if you are dealing with injection molded sprues as a good pair of nippers can get you most of the way. But it is still good to have some sandpaper to touch things up.
Hell, I use an old pair of nippers to remove supports and overhangs from a lot of my "normal" prints.
... and now I am really curious what a 3d printed runner would be. Might do a proof of concept/experiment in onshape.
