I knew it was bloody and thousands had been slaughtered, but I’m so surprised they fought back. I never learned they actually had the chance to. So many survivors and observers too. That’s reassuring.

It means that the Chinese know their government is not omnipotent. That’s why all legal communication is unencrypted and monitored. If citizens were allowed to communicate as they do in the West, they’d be able to organize and overthrow the CCP.

That’s what they are afraid of. The people aren’t afraid of the mechanized power the PLA has, and as demonstrated in 1989, the power is in numbers. If the CCP doesn’t wipe out all memory of Tiannemen Square, they are doomed. But the CCP can’t. Unless they cut China off from the rest of the world entirely, the knowledge will remain. The CCP can only get stricter and harsher, speeding up the time for a pressure cooker to explode. They know this. The people know this.

At some point in the future, they will go too far, and the people will end it.

Trichotillomania

Otherwise it would be fucking easy

It has a chemical that is a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor - it basically turns off the enzyme that metabolizes a good chunk of medicines.

Earl grey tea has it too.

Isn’t a reverse necromancer like a lich?

I have done this with both, and honestly, the resin miniatures, while impressive, are a fuckload of work to remove the supports from, clean, cure, and dispose of the uncured resin and prep for the next plate. The hazard they present isn’t terribly noticeable until it is. Ventilation is probably necessary for all 3D printers, but unless you have outdoor or purpose built external venting, resin will bother you eventually.

As for FDM, you can do it, but it will never reach resin detail. On a 0.2mm nozzle, for instance it would clog too much, or print too slow and something would end up interfering with the print. A 0.4mm does alright, but you’ll want to do some abrasive finishing and some thicker layers of primer.

It also depends on your plastic, how much you are willing to tweak your printer, etc. unfortunately, unlike resin, once you dial in the settings you will have to monitor it as the plastic absorbs moisture, the extruder and other gears wear down ever so slightly. Ambient temperature will affect how well layers stick, and slight breezes will be noticable.

For the record, you have been in SE Minnesota for a small amount of time and have now experienced pretty much the entire range of weather except for the humid 105F days. Tons of snow. Lots of cold rain. Followed by snow. Then it all melting and horrible wind.

Minnesota had its first December tornadoes a few years ago.

So… Pay it?

What if I told you it’s an inclusive or.

See that’s you step in and fan the flames. Make up shit.

I’m so white I burn when it’s cloudy. Look at Mr. Sun Tan showing off his impure equitorian flesh trying to say his idea is the best when he clearly lacks the brains to try.

Listen to Mr. Squeak. His balls never dropped quite right, and his kids are “y’know what I mean”.

This whole reality is like reading batman but the protagonist isn’t Bruce it’s the Ventriloquist, and everything he does is written from the view point that it’s “better this way.”

The only difference in those purges,they were executed.

Edit: You know, I do wonder how they will kill off political opposition. It’s pretty much a certainty that we’ll see it as it happens.

But my favorite piece is at the end. I remind everyone all the time and nauseum that facists are stupid:

Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

I fucking love my pixel.

Instead of AT&T, Samsung and Google spying on me it’s just AT&T and Google.

And surprisingly if you read all the fine print, they do mention a lot of what they collect, so maybe it’s not all terrible to have one less company spying on me

… I didn’t but I guess I could start?

that’s even better

I deleted it because I didn’t quite capture what I wanted to say.

But you see what I’m saying. I’ve never felt so small, but so enthralled by the environment

deleted by creator

And incase it doesn’t do what you intended the first time, a second cast is always a good idea

that’s why

Probably none of those. I’d probably be the big bad. For whatever reason when I was a kid and picked up blue I thought “friends? no I taught these monsters to be strong, they ain’t no friends.” When the friend secret mechanics came in I realized I hadn’t done anything but instilled Stockholm syndrome in them.

I allter them with drugs, use machines on them to force them to learn things. If they end up useless they stay in a box forever.

Pokemon are how I get rich, pokemon are how I get power, pokemon are how I enact control.

A powerful pokemon is a good pokemon.
