How is an elf like a scorpion?

Ha. The two words I distinctly remembered learning while going on this journey are “forb” and “sedge”. The former being “I need nonwoody nongrass plants for my garden, what is the word for those plants?.” And the latter “how is this weed not considered a grass? It’s a sedge? What is that?”

Try to identify birds and trees. How did I go through life not being able to identify my natural surroundings?

I guess it depends on who you talk to.

Model trains are a hobby that I love for other people to get into. I want to see your trains and tracks and little villages you’re proud of. I just need my basement for all my other activities!

Yeah, I feel for the hobby shops because there’s only so much inventory a shop can hold onto and display and sell. How long do you think they gotta display servos before somebody comes looking for them? Compare that to the big Internet stores and I don’t know how they can compete.

Wargaming or anything that brings people to a hobby shop. Trains, RC vehicles, and kites are most acceptable and understandable to people on the outside but still looked down on.

So you just discovered how to be prejudiced. Congrats? 😂

“It’s not prejudice! It’s pattern recognition!”

Actually that’s a duck 🦆

What about self hosted AI image generators or companies who pay royalties to artists for units sold?

I think you have created complicated rules for “piracy I enjoy/condone is good. Copying that I don’t like is bad.”

I don’t see there being a lot of room for to ever defend piracy and also hate AI influenced art
