A boy can dream, can't he?

Rebloging to revisit one day! This was a really great story :3

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

You wanted twins lore? Oh do I have the thing for you. You've seen my figure colleciton. But you haven't seen my extensive colleciton of.... Sideswipe collectible cards!

Yes, you've heard that right, these babies will reveal LOREEE to us today!

Firstly, we have this baby right here, which on the back reveals to us quite a bit of stuff about Sideswipe.

There's two main things that you notice reading Sideswipe's bio in this. There's the obvious 'he fights dirty', which is true to his G1 bio. However, then there's more. First, we learn that "working for the autobot cause made him a kinder Transformer". This directly implies that before joining, he wasn't kind, or at least wasn't as kind as he is now. It's nice to know that thanks to the autobots he's chilled out a bit and became better, I like to think he appreaciates that a lot.

Then, the more intresting one to me personally, the comment about his intellect. "He has great intellect which shapes him as a worthy opponent". Intellect implies Sideswipe's smart. But come on, he's the silly twin! The fun one, the 'dumb' one. No way is he smarter than Sunstreaker, right?

WRONG!

Because here goes my proof #2, the Henkei! Henkei! cards stats. Roll the courtains!

Unfortunately it's all in japanese, btu uncle google comes as our saviour, and wouldn't you know it,

the second number symbolises the 'intelligence' stat.

Which Sideswipe has a 7 at, while Sunstreaker only has a 6. It is quite literally and boldly telling us that Sideswipe is smarter than his brother.

But okay, hey, it's just two cards right? It could be a coincidence!

WRONG, roll in proof #3, the MasterPiece card stats!

(unfortunately I don't have MP Sunny just yet so I had to search for his card online, but thankfully I got the thing I needed)

And roll in the translation

yet again, the second top number is our intelligence stat. And yet again, Sideswipe has a 7, while Sunstreaker only a 6.

It is canon that Sideswipe is the smarter twin. Never again non-believers shall call him stupid! He is quite the opposite!

Here is my contribution to your need for more twins lore. I was waiting to infodump about this to someone lmao I love the fanon twins dearly, honestly I can even say I like them more than canon ones in some regards, but one thing that irks me is how often Sideswipe is portrayed as the 'dumb one', when canon tells you quite boldly that out the two of them, he's the smarter one

YESSSSS!!! I am FEDDDDDD

Alright bro, who do you want a doodle of and doing what this is too good not to be rewarded

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

Hello everyone. It has come to my knowledge that not everyone is familiar with Transformers Legends, an anthology book from 2004 where several short stories from different continuities of the transformers universes are told.

One of these stories is called "Redemption Center", taking place in the G1 cartoon universe where Starscream loses his memory and is taken in by the Autobots, while being protected by Optimus the entire time. Since copies of the book in good condition are tricky to come by at a reasonable price, thought I'd scan the pages of Redemption Center and share with you all.

Enjoy!

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Did you know that many gastropods can create a pearl, including terrestrial snails? The difference is nacre which is only found in some species of mollusks and which which gives pearls their beautiful shine. Terrestrial snails occasionally produce very small translucent white pearls which are usually lost. One non-nacre secreting sea snail, the melo melo, produces gorgeous pearls that are extremely prized and rare.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
