Hey, I get it. I've seen and heard plenty of things that break my brain until I get some context clue
The worst is when I tune into a song that's already playing, or hear a sentence already being spoken, and my brain places pauses or is off a beat; I hear absolute gibberish and wonder if I'm having a stroke
Cozy indeed
No farts please tho, personally
Is this from something? Or just necrom fanart?
Thank you so much! I'll check it out
Could you find a link or do you remember the channel name? I think falconry is really awesome and I'd love to see that
What are we supposed to be looking at?
Went with my partner to a really cute cabin for a vacation. It was a yurt, and really nice except the partition to the bathroom was just a curtain and the wall didn't go to the ceiling. It was at least behind a wall so there was a small modicum of privacy
So waaaaaaay too much cheese on both our parts lead to some very unpleasant bathroom trips and a resulting overload of senses. There was a window, fortunately, though it was fairly ineffective but we learned to excuse ourselves from the cabin when the other had to shit their brains out
I haven't had too many issues lately with hotels and obnoxious lights. And I think it's because manufacturers have changed something. But every once in a while there's some device that has a pinprick hole with a blue led behind it that acts like a damn flashlight and sends a faint blue beam across the room, or if it's aimed at you:
That's like a reverse gofundme/kickstart with an escrow. Money held by a reputable 3rd party and if either side falls through the money goes back to the original holders
I don't want to pay monthly for someone to produce a variable number of videos, or even pay to subscribe to a whole platform to be distributed and support content I would not like to support financially. But I could very realistically consider how much I'd be willing to pay for one of their videos
A creator like Technology Connections? 100% willing to put money on the table to show there's an audience for the video. I'd be willing to pay less for a video from a streamer who plays games and puts out a video a day. They both bring entertainment value but also the production value and informational content is vastly different
I was interested so I looked into it:

"Per Creation was our first-ever billing model. Based on a “choose what you pay model,” you can create differently priced tiers, however, paid content is shared with all members. To bill members, you must designate which posts you want us to charge for. We create pending bills for your active members when the designated posts are published. Pending bills begin to process at approximately 12:00 am PT on the 1st of the month or when a member cancels.
Members can set a monthly maximum
Members subscribed to a creator who bills per creation can set a monthly maximum of posts to support in a given month – this ensures that members aren’t charged more than they can agree to. A member’s monthly max does not impact their membership access." Seems like that's what patreon was originally intended for, but they've deprecated that feature
A lot of creators have turned to merch which I also don't really want to buy, unless it's practical like a tool because I don't like wearing branded or logod things and have no need for knickknacks (stickers are an exception but they go on water bottles). Besides, the markup is ridiculous for very basic commodities
I guarantee you that's a tree farm. I'd gladly be proved wrong
The uniform height, spacing, and lush branches are a key clue. I wish I took pictures on my last trip so I could show you what I'm talking about, but I was traveling through a place undergoing logging. In the forest, like you're thinking, the lower branches are dead because the crowns are crowding out the light. In the understory, lower light plants thrive, ones who can't really take full sun all day
I say this to hopefully assuage your feelings about the picture. The tree did what it was meant to do, and in a spectacular way
