A dreadful winter cold

On the extremely minor plus side, this fleece fits me better now than it ever has before. The joys of being diabetic and on Mounjaro

Now they'll face some consequences for their actions, right?

Same energy, so this felt appropriate.

Also, I don't think OP did all that much work - here's their edited picture next to a version with one Snapseed filter. They're like 90% the same.

Speaking of Snapseed, I also did a quick edit showing how you can edit the picture to look more eye-catching without an unreal colour balance.

Rant here instead of there - I saw this on Reddit about post-processing the photo; loads of comments congratulating OP's work and the improvement. Above before, below after.

I think it's crap - it's just the orange and teal effect, plus it makes the image look unreal, like it's out of a videogame.

Amongst my sister's souvenirs obtained on her honeymoon in Croatia; Mario Kart Rosalina who looks more like Princess Zelda on a Minecraft mine cart, the Donkey Kong redesign we could have had, and an extremely shonky Typhlosion.

First time I've managed this, probably won't happen again. Still proud of myself for doing logic.

Denies the charges.

Admits he did it.

Fucking hell, I used to be such a fan of this guy's work. What a transphobic dipshit.

No new pictures, where are you mentally

Rewatching Hbomberguy's "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" video, because it's an excellent documentary and Hbomb is an engaging presence, made me wonder what James Somerton was doing now. Googling led me to Wikitubia (I know) and this nugget, which feels like the most perfect coda to his dishonesty.

"How crap is the Federation, eh?!"

This gave me a bit of a shock. I'm amused sure, but there must be better names for courier companies.

I've definitely lost some of this fire in myself, even over a year. Honestly, I'm not happy about that. Objectionable as it can make me, I miss it. I think I need to find me a flint.

Fuck it, actually feeling a bit alright about myself ATM. Wheeee selfie time.

Oh hell, this was upsetting to discover.

I take it back, AliExpress might be a problem for me. But equally, I love it.

Felt 36, might delete later.

I take it back, buying shit on AliExpress because you can't get to sleep totally slaps.

You can get an Addiesdive AD2030 on AliExpress for around 20 quid cheaper than the lower price here, but what I'm particularly amused by is that they've effectively decided their shit logo is worth £40.

Original strap was a bit tired. Decided to go for more of a contrasting colour than the original's sand tone. I'm just really pleased with how it looks.

I hope my first shiny card in Pokémon TCG Pocket is a cool Pokémon!
