AITA for telling my cat he's a "fat little shit"

my cat won't stop trying to eat the wires to my computer. I don't know how to make him stop. I got frustrated and asked him "you fat little shit do you want to die?" because i figured if he manages to chomp through the wires he will electrocute himself (like mother, like son) and I don't want him to die, but I don't think he knows that he will at least injure himself. reason doesn't usually work with him (he has nothing going on behind his eyes) but i figured why not try? however i'm being told by my brother that fat shaming is not okay. i made this post for everyone to agree with me because my cat is in fact a fat little shit and it's not wrong if it's the truth

I caved guys. The voices got too loud. I've finally drawn Radiohead art. It will happen again.

Below are some studies of them (aka my first attempts). I like the first two pictures more though so look at those instead

buffy: so we have now established that there are teenage boys cutting up dead girls to make a frankenstein of their very own, and that to complete their project, they're likely going to murder somebody. giles: i sure don't like that and am visibly unnerved by it! buffy: well, we better handle that posthaste before any girls get chopped up and murdered, right? giles: buffy: right? giles: see the thing is that ms. calendar wants to take me out for dinner today buffy: okay. go to dinner with her giles: i mean i feel bad about not being there for the murder thing though??? buffy: OKAY. so we will meet you in the middle of your dinner thing, how's that? giles: yes sure great thanks so much :)

Have you played Sims 2 for DS(? (That one weird strangetown spinoff xD). If not, are you planning on playing it?

What one thing would you change about each mainline game and why.

Thank you for asking!

First question, I have not played TS2 DS yet but I definitely want to (same with the GBA and PSP versions) because I hear it's good. I don't own any of the consoles though, so it'll come down to future me finding a good emulator, and I'm lazy so it might be a little while. I'm done with everything school related June 1st though, so I might look into it over the summer.

Second, I wanna preface this by saying I'm a fake fan and I've never played TS1 or TS3 myself, so take my opinions on those with a grain of salt.

TS1: It looks so hard. Like every single playthrough I've ever watched is nightmarish. Glance away for a second and someone's starving to death or your kid is in military school or something. I actually don't mind this much (because obviously if the game isn't challenging then you probably won't play it), but I just know it would make my heart rate increase if I tried to manage it myself. Plus, through no fault of its own, I've heard it's rough trying to get it to work on modern hardware.

TS2: I've actually played this one so this is more nitpicky. I don't like the body shapes. I know you can download new ones as cc and stuff but I just. The base game ones are really not doing it for me. Nothing even changes between the fit and thin meshes, and the fat ones just look ehh (especially on men). If I could change anything about this game, it would just be to have better body shapes by default. A search function for Build/Buy mode would also be great but ngl it's something I can live without.

TS3: I don't like this game's vibe at all. I know it's a very grass-is-green, basic bitch, vanilla take to say that it looks gross, but it does. Everything looks soggy. In addition to this, I'm an absolute control freak and the idea of having a completely open world with all my Sims just wandering around in it constantly freaks me out so bad. I don't think these are things I'd necessarily change, just because those are the main selling points of 3 to begin with, but it's just not for me. Godspeed to those who enjoy it.

TS4: Look. You have heard people dunk on this game before. You've already heard every talking point I could bring up. But I have something that I don't think anyone ever mentions. I HATE the furniture in TS4. I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game and I've never had anything but the base game. No packs. Nothing. So when I tell you that the furniture is what breaks my heart, I mean it. Why does the cheap furniture still look brand new. TS2 got it right. Give me a couch that looks like my grandma's. Give me chairs and tables that look straight from a yard sale. Give me things that look pre-owned and ugly, because if you're furnishing a starter house or a shitty apartment, you're not buying new lounge chairs straight from the store. I despise the fact that everything looks clean and new, and the only thing that changes between cheap and expensive furniture is the level of detail they have. Not all cheap couches are square and plasticky looking. Some are old and torn up and lumpy. It's also incredibly hard to make a house look like it's collected furniture items naturally over the course of a family's life, because everything always looks fresh from IKEA. I can't stand it.

Anons r treating u well fr deserved for carrying the greatest lore analysis on ur back 🙏🙏

Thank you...... Honestly, I am so happy that I ended up with a small fandom circle that appreciates my uncanny autism levels and even benefits from them sometimes!! (like how sometimes people elaborate the things they've missed but I've noticed into their lore, or ask me for takes because "who else would know")

Lore lovers fandom group!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

The Comprehensive Guide to Web Development, Data Management, and More 

Introduction 

Everything today is technology driven in this digital world. There's a lot happening behind the scenes when you use your favorite apps, go to websites, and do other things with all of those zeroes and ones — or binary data. In this blog, I will be explaining what all these terminologies really means and other basics of web development, data management etc. We will be discussing them in the simplest way so that this becomes easy to understand for beginners or people who are even remotely interested about technology.  JOIN US

What is Web Development? 

Web development refers to the work and process of developing a website or web application that can run in a web browser. From laying out individual web page designs before we ever start coding, to how the layout will be implemented through HTML/CSS. There are two major fields of web development — front-end and back-end. 

Front-End Development 

Front-end development, also known as client-side development, is the part of web development that deals with what users see and interact with on their screens. It involves using languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the visual elements of a website, such as buttons, forms, and images. JOIN US

HTML (HyperText Markup Language): 

HTML is the foundation of all website, it helps one to organize their content on web platform. It provides the default style to basic elements such as headings, paragraphs and links. 

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):  

styles and formats HTML elements. It makes an attractive and user-friendly look of webpage as it controls the colors, fonts, layout. 

JavaScript :  

A language for adding interactivity to a website Users interact with items, like clicking a button to send in a form or viewing images within the slideshow. JOIN US

Back-End Development 

The difference while front-end development is all about what the user sees, back end involves everything that happens behind. The back-end consists of a server, database and application logic that runs on the web. 

Server: 

A server is a computer that holds website files and provides them to the user browser when they request it. Server-Side: These are populated by back-end developers who build and maintain servers using languages like Python, PHP or Ruby. 

Database:  

The place where a website keeps its data, from user details to content and settings The database is maintained with services like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB. JOIN US

Application Logic —  

the code that links front-end and back-end It takes user input, gets data from the database and returns right informations to front-end area. 

Why Proper Data Management is Absolutely Critical 

Data management — Besides web development this is the most important a part of our Digital World. What Is Data Management? It includes practices, policies and procedures that are used to collect store secure data in controlled way. 

Data Storage –  

data after being collected needs to be stored securely such data can be stored in relational databases or cloud storage solutions. The most important aspect here is that the data should never be accessed by an unauthorized source or breached. JOIN US

Data processing:  

Right from storing the data, with Big Data you further move on to process it in order to make sense out of hordes of raw information. This includes cleansing the data (removing errors or redundancies), finding patterns among it, and producing ideas that could be useful for decision-making. 

Data Security:  

Another important part of data management is the security of it. It refers to defending data against unauthorized access, breaches or other potential vulnerabilities. You can do this with some basic security methods, mostly encryption and access controls as well as regular auditing of your systems. 

Other Critical Tech Landmarks 

There are a lot of disciplines in the tech world that go beyond web development and data management. Here are a few of them: 

Cloud Computing 

Leading by example, AWS had established cloud computing as the on-demand delivery of IT resources and applications via web services/Internet over a decade considering all layers to make it easy from servers up to top most layer. This will enable organizations to consume technology resources in the form of pay-as-you-go model without having to purchase, own and feed that infrastructure. JOIN US

Cloud Computing Advantages:  

Main advantages are cost savings, scalability, flexibility and disaster recovery. Resources can be scaled based on usage, which means companies only pay for what they are using and have the data backed up in case of an emergency. 

Examples of Cloud Services: 

Few popular cloud services are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. These provide a plethora of services that helps to Develop and Manage App, Store Data etc. 

Cybersecurity 

As the world continues to rely more heavily on digital technologies, cybersecurity has never been a bigger issue. Protecting computer systems, networks and data from cyber attacks is called Cyber security. 

Phishing attacks, Malware, Ransomware and Data breaches: 

This is common cybersecurity threats. These threats can bear substantial ramifications, from financial damages to reputation harm for any corporation. 

Cybersecurity Best Practices:  

In order to safeguard against cybersecurity threats, it is necessary to follow best-practices including using strong passwords and two-factor authorization, updating software as required, training employees on security risks. 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) represent the fastest-growing fields of creating systems that learn from data, identifying patterns in them. These are applied to several use-cases like self driving cars, personalization in Netflix. 

AI vs ML —  

AI is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way we would consider “smart”. Machine learning is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. JOIN US

Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: some common applications include Image recognition, Speech to text, Natural language processing, Predictive analytics Robotics. 

Web Development meets Data Management etc. 

We need so many things like web development, data management and cloud computing plus cybersecurity etc.. but some of them are most important aspects i.e. AI/ML yet more fascinating is where these fields converge or play off each other. 

Web Development and Data Management 

Web Development and Data Management goes hand in hand. The large number of websites and web-based applications in the world generate enormous amounts of data — from user interactions, to transaction records. Being able to manage this data is key in providing a fantastic user experience and enabling you to make decisions based on the right kind of information. 

E.g. E-commerce Website, products data need to be saved on server also customers data should save in a database loosely coupled with orders and payments. This data is necessary for customization of the shopping experience as well as inventory management and fraud prevention. 

Cloud Computing and Web Development 

The development of the web has been revolutionized by cloud computing which gives developers a way to allocate, deploy and scale applications more or less without service friction. Developers now can host applications and data in cloud services instead of investing for physical servers. 

E.g. A start-up company can use cloud services to roll out the web application globally in order for all users worldwide could browse it without waiting due unavailability of geolocation prohibited access. 

The Future of Cybersecurity and Data Management 

Which makes Cybersecurity a very important part of the Data management. The more data collected and stored by an organization, the greater a target it becomes for cyber threats. It is important to secure this data using robust cybersecurity measures, so that sensitive information remains intact and customer trust does not weaken. JOIN US

Ex: A healthcare provider would have to protect patient data in order to be compliant with regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that is also responsible for ensuring a degree of confidentiality between a provider and their patients. 

Conclusion 

Well, in a nutshell web-developer or Data manager etc are some of the integral parts for digital world.

As a Business Owner, Tech Enthusiast or even if you are just planning to make your Career in tech — it is important that you understand these. With the progress of technology never slowing down, these intersections are perhaps only going to come together more strongly and develop into cornerstones that define how we live in a digital world tomorrow. 

With the fundamental knowledge of web development, data management, automation and ML you will manage to catch up with digital movements. Whether you have a site to build, ideas data to manage or simply interested in what’s hot these days, skills and knowledge around the above will stand good for changing tech world. JOIN US
