like im an artist myself (art i posted isn’t by me tho obv and instead by the amazing SebastianvonBuchwald) and like to be consistent with what i enjoy, instead of switching up interests, and going from one popular thing to the another, or “trend hopping” as others would put it. but as of recently i decided to take a break from the furry community due to the problems it faces. one of it being how racism is rampant in the fandom

of course i decided to leave some other fandoms too, such as a roblox game called “forsaken”, because its banning people over using the term “pro ship”, which means “ship and let ship” and also “anti harassment”, and dark fiction/dark ship which means it explores darker themes whether it be sexual or not. and anti shipper is some who is against those kind of things. even though i was in fandoms long enough to witness this kind of stuff and discourse idk what is everyone’s stance on them now since its been nearly a decade already (didn’t start seeing them around until like 2020-2021 tho)

i also think it’s annoying how there’s digital artists(?????) that rely too much on moralism. i know this is the loud minority who are the loudest about “muh moralism in art” when it comes to drawings that supposed to be a form of freedom of expression and not ones morals are the loudest on big social medias such as twitter/x, instagram, and tik tok. but i think it’s really annoying on how this suddenly blew up in fan artists circles too. gotta draw a woman married to a man and living a traditional lifestyle or else i’ll be getting cancelled for drawing hot giant furry woman x her human bf that’s the average human height or else i’ll be cancelled over drawings /s

i can’t forget about how prominent ageism is in fandom spaces. it used to be fun and lively but now it’s filled with adults who suffer from nostalgic doomerism gatekeeping fandoms from minors because of “puriteens” or whatever for not being comfortable seeing fictional underaged characters being in certain weird situations (which is okay and valid actually). despite the same ageists claiming to be against christofascism

mfw the word “puriteen” is used by christian fundamentalists who are made teens aren’t having enough sex after prohibiting teens aka “young adults” from having sexual contact or looking at porn despite them having hormones which lead to sexual frustration. i was one of them. something i realized is that the word is being used on a similar Post too long.

>It's just plant matter and cancer is probably caused by the fucking deathsticks they call cigarettes.
Nicotine is such a deadly neurotoxin that its advised to not use it as a pesticide because its dangerous even if a few drops get on your food plants. Tobacco actually kills soil, literal death plant:
>Tobacco cultivation rapidly depleted the soil of nutrients. Although this may seem to be a strike against it, early settlers quickly discovered that virgin Virginia soil was too rich for successful harvest of traditional European crops, especially cereals. Tobacco broke down the fields and made food crops more productive.

Just the other day I was thinking about the loss of the 4chan language learning thread.
Me personally I'm learning portuguese, but I'm already around B2.
Also learning japanese and toki pona.

anons when the brine in a jar of pickles or olives turns yellow does that mean it's gone bad?

My sister just taught me an easy recipe for a greek yogurt dough pizza, which is perfect for me since I normally hate baking.
1 cup greek yogurt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1)Mix in bowl for a little while with a spoon, once it's more of a stable dough, switch to mixing it with your hand, rolling the dough around the bowl.

2)Dust the table or other surface you'll manipulate the dough on with flour, take the dough out of the mixing bowl and put it on the surface. Gently push down on the dough ball with your hands, but don't pull it. Once you've pushed the dough down, dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough. Once flat, crimp the sides of the dough to make a crust.
3)Lightly oil or apply parchment paper to a baking pan, transfer the flattened dough to the pan and add your tomato sauce and toppings. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F) or 200 (C). Insert the baking pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, then rotate the pizza 180 degrees and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
This feeds one person if you're very hungry.

Bulk ordering directly from farms is a kind of anti-consumerist socialism, I guess? Its probably better quality but you need a big freezer or lots of friends to share with

anons who live outside am*rica what do you use to substitute graham crackers in crusts?

Is there some breakdown of audience demographics? Because, who watches this crap? How does it keep making money? Now obvious answer is children, but wouldnt children prefer animated version?

>>46099
>>46099
Well disney doesnt do 2d anymore. This is basically an animation considering one of the titular characters is full cgi. I don't know that kids really even prefer animation tho. I watched a lot of acted kids movies and even mixed live action and animation kids movies growing up, I think a lot of the acted ones did well, it is just the cartoons are more critically acclaimed.

I watched Sinners. The scene where they're playing music and all the ghosts of past and future black and Chinese musicians appear was kinda cringe. I understand what they were going for with it, all the best and most iconic music and culture of the USA was made by black USAnians but the juxtaposition of a modern DJ and rappers and rock stars with the old timey blues came off as silly.

Any good films yet this year? Everytime I look at new releases its celebrity documentaries, war propaganda, and cop propaganda.

I watched the movie Marshmallow. Or rather I tried to watch it. I'm embarrassed to say but I couldn't sit through the slow burn build up to the big reveal. I started skipping through it. Might be my fucked up brain. Might be that the movie just isn't that good. That's all I have to say about. Don't really know if I recommend it.

Idk, just didn't want to spoil the new episode for anyone watching so I thought marking it as spoiler would help.
I know that, in the comics, Magneto has been portrayed as being anti-Israel in some issues. And even through I agree that people project too much of their own struggle / politics in X-men, it's was kind of a predictable outcome, and I don't see it as negative (even if some people are a bit insufferable about it), it makes the series unique or at least a vanguard of this kind of story telling.

>>4121
I disagree. The "mutant struggle" works in universe because, like anon said it above, not all mutants are x-men. And even for those that are, a lot of mutations are more maleficial to their "hosts" and others around them than beneficial. In the real world, we have people with autism that are geniuses and others that are non-verbal.
Also, most mutants doing "crimes against humanity" a lot of times are products of people's hate on them and their kind. Even fucking Apocalypse has been given some kind of tragic backstory related to his powers (not that it entirely justifies what he does, but eh)

I haven't been hiking+camping for liek 4 years, I now live close to a super nice mountain chain, where I went to hike for a small hike the other day. I realize now i've been missing it so fucking much, I used to practically live like this lmao, it's really the only activity I actually fully enjoy.

I have a sawyer water filter that hasn't been used for a few years, should it still be safe for usage or would it be too risky? Also, if I would get a new one, are there some other generic brands that are just as good just less expensive? Shit feels way overprices (as usual with camping stuff).

I want to take more pictures though, still doubting whether i'll just use my phone or get a small camera. My phone camera sucks balls but i refuse to get another one.

went out recently, worked up quite a sweat. this lake is at ca 1500m altitude

The whole eating situation is making me reconsider my desire to go camping

Eating situation is crazy.

I can only interpret it as Ron being an unreliable twat. I mean what else is he going to do, searching for the Horcruxes is literally the most important possible task. Always disliked him honestly. I'm Harrymionie til I die. I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left.

I get that it being aimless is the point but as a story that's boring and unsatisfying. I've already been on enough shitty English camping holidays that seemed neverending, that's not what I read/watch fiction for.

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls003814436/

The last movie is the highest rated on IMDB and the second-last one of the highest rated, if you look at the reviews you can see people express that view I stated.

>unreliable twat
Except he's not especially in the context of the scene, since despite being significantly injured (severe hypothermia, starvation, crippling injury etc.) he's still with Harry. Harry is the one projecting his fears of abandonment onto Ron. Ron was pretty much always there for Harry and never hesitated to stand up against threats and dangers no matter how scared he might have been.
>I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left
They didn't. Ron left and then because of Hermione's wards couldn't find them despite basically trying to find them immediately after leaving, so he was searching for them for several weeks and came in for the save with the Sword of Gryffindor. Hell, he wanted to stay but Harry literally tells to him to leave repeatedly. Ron's biggest problem in the scene (and it's just realistic relative to such arguments) is that in his frustration and anger, he comes off a lot harsher and provokes a similar response from Harry, and Hermione in this instance was being an utter willow.

Also the movies cut out a lot of scenes and switched up dialogue that was important to Ron's character, resulting in him coming off as more of a prat than in the books.

IMDB is not a reliable source I'm going to be honest, primarily because the number of reviews and so on there are paltry compared to the sheer SIZE of the fandom itself. Almost everyone I knew hated it, even unreasonably so.

I agree that Ron/Hermione wasn't a very good pairing, but neither is Harry/Hermione.
