I saw a road sign the other day with a very detailed horse on it, and it distracted me for a second thinking “What the hell is up with that sign? Are there wild horses here? Is there a horse crossing up ahead? We’re in the middle of the city!” So I almost missed the woman leading a horse out into the road from behind a dense bush right behind the sign, not checking for traffic at all.

Probably would have been safer without the sign.

Interesting, I guess in 1994 it would make sense to redraw the guy instead of copying the asset over in Illustrator like you would present day.

Is this AI generated, or is my radar off?

This brings up the quandary, should I drive 1.5 hrs round trip to support an anti-cars initiative.

No one’s talking about anon’s weird assumption that authors go from idea directly to manga, and not that most authors start by writing a novel to attract a sponsor.

That’s how Wildbow does it.

Aluminum is a weird choice because it’s almost always alloyed with other metals.

I have a tongue issues which five different doctors have decided is geographic tongue, and told me it will go away “in a couple of weeks”. The last two times I heavily prefaced adding “Before I get into it, it’s OK to say you don’t know, but don’t tell me it will go away in a couple of weeks because it’s been over ten years.” Both times as soon as they saw my tongue they cut me off with a “it will go away in a couple of weeks” and refused to discuss it further.

Oh yeah that sounds nice, it’s almost certainly a cultural thing haha. Here in the US it sucks.

if it really becomes too much, they will just assign others to help you out

I can’t even imagine this actually happening, even at the better companies I’ve worked at. Closest I’ve seen is when someone is so overloaded that they quit, then management decides to hire two people to replace them so they can “catch up”.

Studying to ace an IQ test shows you’re not debilitatingly mentally challenged, though. I think that’s all the test is really good for.
