@mietze said in MU Peeves Thread:
Though I am biased perhaps because I did find being able to see everyone’s private scenes, who was in them, and when they last posed to be kind of weird and offputting, especially when it was a screen scroll compared to anything active and open. On a gridless game you have to look at that page to see if there’s anything open, and as I was used to all but public hotspots being private/unseen it just seemed kind of invasive on one hand and very intimidating on the other. (I’d definitely had to deal with +where and alt stalking on WoD games so just knowing who’s in private scenes and how active really squicked me TF out).
Again, big agree with your general points here. FOMO is at the root of so many problems in the hobby. Something something good fences something something good neighbors. Sometimes it’s a good thing actually not to have immediate insight on everything that everyone else is doing.

No one cares what a badass you are IRL. I promise you.

Once I deeply, deeply offended the husband of a friend of mine by telling his friend, a cop, “I know you think you’re a hard man, but I am not afraid of geese.”

@Gashlycrumb My father in law has scars all over his legs from being attacked by a flock of geese when he was 9 years old. Geese are fucking terrifying!
-
Their tongues have teeth. I cannot adequately convey the atavistic horror and revulsion this fact inspires in me.

I haven’t looked for a truly new PB in awhile, but now when I do my usual searches there’s a ton of AI stuff. I’m sure (hope?) there’s a setting I can turn off when I like but I’m not sure what that is yet, at least on my phone.

@mietze
Pinterest in particular is very demoralizing right now in terms of how totally drowned in AI it is, to the point where I almost wanna stop using an app I used to like a lot.Searching ‘<country> actor <age>’ at least always gets me real people of the vague type I want.
-
In a similar vein, I’d really like for Midjourney PBs to die the death.
-
Once I told my husband when he asked me why I’m afraid of geese: do you know how many people DIE from geese attacks every year?!?!?!
The answer is 0. But I really thought it would be more.
-
@bear_necessities Ah! But do you know how many geese die for my Christmas dinner every year? At least one! Therefore, I am more powerful than a goose!
-
in this same vein I spent what I have to admit was an embarrassingly significant chunk of one afternoon chasing down a rabbit hole after solid evidence of that old myth that a goose could break a grown man’s arm only to learn that those are just anecdotal stories about people freaking out and taking a bad fall during a goose attack, looool.
-
Geese really do have quite a big wing ‘knuckle’ that seems adapted for fighting and they will hit you with it. I don’t think it’d break a man’s arm very often, but I did see somebody who was crouching down to enter a little goose-hut with a goose in it get whacked upside the head pretty seriously.
I used to have pet geese.
Once I was attacked by a tundra swan. Imagine a goose, but it’s over five feet tall. I did not win that fight, and while I escaped unscathed I had some serious doubts about it and thought I might be in very bad trouble.

Please don’t ask or advertise for RP with story hooks if what you’re looking for is an RP bootycall. If I show up for your story stuff and show interest in your story stuff, please respect my time and let the RP be about the story stuff. Want TS? That’s great, that’s cool, just don’t pretend you’re after something else.
