I worked long and hard getting this all contained while extracting paintings to trade for money dollars
Project was twofold, haha
I figured even if I sold nothing at least it would look contained and functional over there. I feel quite good about it!
As I downshift into not project mode I realize that I have not eaten today so I guess we’re going to take care of that 👍

Which do you perfer cartoon dogs that wear pants but no shirt, shirt but no pants, shirt and pants, or no clothes at all.
Also sorry if this brings weirdos i just wanna know your opinion on fictional dog design

I think I’ve said this before, but when a cartoon animal is half-clothed, it just draws more attention to the fact that they’re half-nude. Like animals don’t usually wear clothes at all so it looks normal when they’re completely naked, but when they’re wearing ONLY a shirt or ONLY pants it just makes you aware of the fact that they’re not fully clothed. It almost makes them seem more naked than if they weren’t wearing anything.
But I think only pants is actually worse than only a shirt.
For example, with Winnie the Pooh here wearing only a shirt, you can still see that he’s not, uh…. anatomically correct below the waistline. He has nothing to hide.
But when you see Smokey wearing only pants, it implies that there is something to hide. It’s like he’s covering up his lower half because he has to. If you get what I mean.
That is to say, it would be fine to see Winnie the Pooh take off his shirt, but it would definitely not be fine to see Smokey take off his pants.
With that said, I think fully clothed and fully nude are equally “safe,” if that makes sense. Just a shirt isn’t bad either, but just pants is inherently suggestive in my opinion. I wouldn’t say any option is “better” design, it just depends what you’re going for.
If you can’t tell, I’ve thought about this a lot.
What I'm getting from this post is that Smoky there is, uhh, sexycoded
Smokey the bear is is the Forest Service's fursona

Note that while many SF authors, including Ray Bradbury, Issac Asimov, and even Arthur C. Clarke have confirmed and even retold the story on occasion, both Ellison and some of his staunchest supporters - including Tom Galloway - have vehemently denied the incident took place, and in recent years Ellison refuses to discuss the matter, much less any issues regarding jelly beans.
“If I want your name, I’ll call you by name,” he continued. “I don’t give a damn what’s in this box. But I want to know why my name’s in your head and not here!” He tapped his forehead. “I’m not going to let some old fart box my name with a pair of scissors! Not for nothing! You know that!”

When Pierre Boulle’s French-language novel, “Planet of the Apes,” was first translated into English, the title selected was “Monkey Planet.”

I think if Murderbot met a rogue CombatUnit it would be torn between “this is a fellow construct just trying to live its life I shouldn’t say anything” and “that thing could tear us all to pieces and I could do nothing about it” like I really think that for the first time it would be put in the shoes of all the humans who were worried about it roaming around Presevation station

murderbot of course knows what blorbo from its shows is but would be stunned and quite self-conscious to realize it is itself a blorbo from my books

“ ‘Scuse me, pardon – Hi, there. Name’s Lieutenant Columbo, LAPD. I’m up here from homicide. Responding to a report about a body found in Med Bay. I tell ya, this is one troubling case, but not to worry, we’ll get it figured out. You were the one who called the Emergency Meeting just now, is that right? Where did you say you found the body? Oh, right, Med Bay, yeah, I just remembered. And you were alone? Hmm… Oh, nothing, sir. Just wanted to get all the details. See, these small things, I’ve gotta get them resolved. Now, ah … between you and me… have you seen anyone in this wing actin’ a bit … a bit sus?”

Wait. They aren’t jokes. You guys really keep dozens of tabs open on your browser forever.
What if I want to return to my search for obscure russian idioms or go back to rereading 17776? What am I supposed to do, spontaneously remember that that was a thing I was doing, completely unprompted by visual stimulus or external reminders, and renew my search from the beginning in a fresh new tab?
No, my cluttered nightmare of tabs is a way better solution if i ever even hope to come close to getting back to the things i leave for later.
Exactly
