      I can think of a hand full of grinds worth pursuing. The one for money isn’t one of them.

            If you grind it enough, it’s fine by definition.

                  It’s WONDERFUL! I can’t remember if I did this a decade ago but you totally solved this tiny obstacle that was a complete wall b/c lazy.

                  Have you ever poured your French press through a paper filter? Certainly wasteful. But sometimes treat myself, as it’s nice drinking to the last drop knowing it will be sludge free even if it was a finer grind.

                  Do you microwave your cold brew or maybe go the other direction, ice it up? For the latter I might have to fill a few cubes worth of an ice tray with Oatly barista blend (probably about the most expensive oat milk—uniquely palatable).

                  Edit: think I’ll prepare tomorrow’s right now. Will see how the cold brew is with ~triple the brew time tomorrow!

    If my school told me no more furry drawings, I’d have probably drawn so much more that I got good at it and would be pretty well off right now after doing a lot of comissioned work for a rich dude who’s really into giant versions of Starfox and Falco.

      This is more or less how I found myself paying rent for art. Took limited art classes, just doodled everywhere and was told to stop. Posted stuff online in the early 2000s and caught a few stray commissions.

      I felt this and the meme hard.

        The market has been pretty well cornered compared to 20 years ago. These days you’ve got to be pretty good to solicit commissions.

          Memory unlocked.

          I learned that furries were a thing in 2000. Was acquaintances with a guy that hung out at Wiffle Horse late at night.

          Friend of a friend social group stuff. He was always in a booth sketching.

          We were all on so much drugs.

          My mind was blown that he was selling pictures of cartoon rabbits in football gear and that he was doing it over the internet. His stuff was totally queer. I remember him explaining yiff and how hard we all laughed that he was actually making fat stacks on it.

          Thanks for reminding me of that!

    Why does almost everyone seem to draw the 🚫 symbol backwards? Even the Ghostbusters logo is guilty of this crime:

      I never noticed there was a “right way”. I see now that there is an ISO standard that is used for (eg) traffic control signs, but that alone doesn’t make the other way backwards in situations where someone has hand-drawn a sign.

      Id guess right handed people draw it “backwards” like that because they are more likely to draw a circle counterclockwise from the top, leaving them in position for a slash in that direction.

              If you think that’s “being asked to” you are delusional. That is an anti-fur being aggressively telling someone to stop for literally no fucking reason. So try again, bud

            I just think being a furry and wanting to fuck animals are the same. At best it’s a serious indicator that you have an unhealthy relationship to cartoons.

            I just happen to think that art which says “I desperately want to fuck animals and have probably already been fucking my pets” is considerably more humiliating. Free speech.
