Isekai Ryoko no Techo no. 3: Novice Blacksmith Hailey Smith, striking a cocky pose with her right fist on her hip (or as close to it as her armor will allow) and her left hand holding the tool of her trade: a colossal blacksmith hammer.

Hailey returning from a successful mining expedition with a backpack full of magic crystals on her back.

Inspiration has struck Hailey, almost as hard as she's about to strike that gold ingot on her anvil.

...Struck it a little too hard, it seems. Hailey weeps over the snapped handle of her hammer, shortly before she gets to work patching it up.

All right, finally got Hailey finished!

...The stated goal for this one was to just straight-build one of these kits, but even though her outfit's simple and her accessories are pretty detailed already, Hailey could really benefit from some paint apps...🤔

I got so little work done on this model over the weekend; between that and my multi-post thread calling Elon Musk a stupid son of a bitch, I think it's in everyone's best interest if the clock would just advance to 4PM and let me go home already so I can use my time more wisely

It's too good for him

These Palantir chuds come close, admittedly. There are 21 other points like this one, but none of them as sharp as the needle-like crowns of these pinheads' scalps

Said it before, bears repeating: Elon Reeve Musk's most meaningful contribution to the world is as a living example against imposter syndrome.

No matter how big a fraud your brain tries to convince you that you are, at least you're not, nor will you ever be, as big a fraud as Elon Musk.

(Vivian Wilson doesn't count because a) she's a person, not a thing and b) Musk was only half-responsible for her and has disavowed her in any case)

"Name three worthwhile things Musk created instead of buying and ruining" challenge

Shit, name TWO

She is!

So's the other one that's due for delivery tomorrow 😅

Damn, maybe I SHOULD'VE taken the day off 😅

Nothing "thinly veiled" about my scorn for the world's richest failson

Some bullies should've tried harder, s'all I'm sayin

We're snickering at him because he's a fucking dipshit whose "grand narrative" is a patchwork of sci-fi and video game references that make Cline look like Clarke, you complete tool

I DO appreciate them!

Lotta people in these comments still stinging over the first Illumination SMB podcast, I see!

(Good to know I've got company; still got you guys queued up, though!)

All I've got is "I've already got 8 hours of overtime for this period, and if I take time off, I'll forfeit the overtime pay premium which was 100% the point of working it," and 'know, sometimes that's just motivation enough

But damn, really could've used an extra day in the weekend

Ever go to work solely because you couldn't think of a good reason NOT to

Things are different now from when I learned it in school, and my primary-school education was flawless, so clearly Pluto is a planet and Ceres is a what-the-fuck-is-Ceres and it's the progression of collective scientific understanding that is wrong

Even a month and change later, this post still gets a dozen or so Likes a week, and well that it should 'cause I'm still hyper-giddy over getting it. Love seeing it hang around the Notifications, cannot thank Katrina enough for it!

All these adults have really gotta stop letting Toon Link run around unsupervised

the rabbit doesn't count

<-- This man is committing a CRIME

My brain frequently tries to set up nightmare scenarios when I'm asleep. Just as frequently, it finds ways to disregard or short-circuit them by turning me into Mayor Mike Haggar or something.

After a couple dozen tries, I finally got enraged enough to hulk out of the chair and commenced to kicking the asses of the suddenly-hostile employees until finally, *finally,* I found the proper entrance and could get what I came for

As an extra wrinkle, I had to do all this while sitting in a rolly office chair on casters, because expecting capital to accommodate any physical disability is its own special nightmare

Getting there was the easy part, despite nonsensical intersections and an hour negotiating interconnected parking lots that were 120% full

I then had to find the entrance, because every door I found was an employee-only area or a specialized department like shipping, returns, etc.

Managed it; had a much more infuriating dream where I had to go to a big-box hardware store for a couple of plumbing fixtures and the only one that was convenient to me was in a mega consumer complex with 20 outlet shops, a casino and an amusement park
