    Probably at first would just go as far as possible while still having a body, then eventually full uploaded consciousness/incorporeal.

    There are many odd images on the topic of hamburger sushi

    l9o487wlanrz.jpg

    This seems like a Sashimi styles burger patty, with a small dab of mayo on a ball of sushi rice.

    I bet this is tasty, even if it isn't sushi in any way but presentation

    That is from a kaiten zushi (the automated sushi places) place in Japan. I recognize the plate. It is like at every 100 yen kaiten zushi place in Japan too.

    I said, I have had it. Its okay. Nothing that exciting.

    I actually don't understand how Vanguard can write long posts about using other's work without attribution and also attacking cultural appropriation.

    I have a few different answers to this. I think poetry can be similar to a song using samples. In this case, I'm using samples of others ideas and images. Attributing the line doesn't necessarily add much here; either you're familiar with the source material or you're not, but I try not to write in a way that one needs to know where it came from.

    I'm also careful to not use certain voices who have been underrepresented in poetry.
    I get around this by not caring about either copyright or cultural appropriation

    I also think there are distinct differences between appropriation and homage. The lines I am stealing for the book I'm finishing are 100% relevant to the framing of the project. I'm not just taking these lines because I'm like why didn't I think of that.

    Everything below "end the squirrel" rapidly approaches zero percent effectiveness. Squirrels are cheeky, intelligent buggers.

    Set up a bird feeder with seeds nearby (sunflower is a good choice), and set up some wire fencing.

    The birdfeeder hass tuff they would rather eat anyways, and the wire fencing makes it hard for them to get to it.

    FFS Fortnite has way too many menus and systems.

    Yeah I was interested in it based on the gameplay of like fighting, looting and then like tower defence. But seeing all the seperate leveling up, rng, and basically loot box purchasing they intend on I've seen shitty f2p cell phone games be more forgiving.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Eat the squirrel first.

    Also you can get some like plastic latices around the plant to prevent it from being easy to get in.

    mine is white/black because it was that or green/dark green and I looked around myself and saw literally nothing that was not white and black because it was winter in the goddamn arctic.


    also because I thought I'd use it when skiing and wearing military green items is something I thought wankers do

    Just trust me, the goal should be carrot + stick at same time.

    Make your garden annoying to eat from, give them something easy to steal from that you care less about.

    I think it also depends on my job situation and the position of cybernetics in society, like if it's considered off in some way then I might hold off longer on visible face cyberware in order to have a client-facing job.

    I think there's also the issue of overdevelopment, on top of the massive restructuring of the game once it became envisioned as a F2P game like 3 years ago (!!!!)

    They've had like 7 years to throw in then monetize everything there is to in a tower defense / coop multi game

    I'm actually a fan of the basic idea of copyright because it's not up to you, really

    I mean you're a poor example because I can't think of a non-nuts objection so I will reframe you as a fanfic writer writing disturbing porn; I think an author ought to have a right to some control over what is done with their work and say "stop making all my characters fuck all the other characters in anatomically improbable ways"
