Could you give more details about what you mean by "homemade internet"? The first thing I thought of was just a LAN or Intranet which I see many people have already suggested but I feel like that may not be what you're actually talking about

Their are Waffle House locations that aren't 24 hour??? Why? Like 3/4s of their business is long haul truckers isn't it?

For anyone who has never heard of this, The Waffle House Index is a real thing used to gauge the severity of weather events!

I honestly haven't seen a lot of his movies. He's doing an amazing job with Penguin so far though!

So even when an incel hits their personal jackpot and gets to bang a Japanese woman they're still just miserable pricks lol

Guess you can't blame women or your virginity now Anon lol

Why does it exist? I'm guessing because someone somewhere has prairie dogs in their yard and wants to get rid of them?

I suspect I know the entire reason this "article" was written, and it's that the people who love every Disney property are still trying to make up literally any reason why Acolyte was cancelled other than the fact that it was just a jumbled mess of a show.

I love Star Wars, I watched every episode of The Acolyte. It was ok at best. It was somewhat enjoyable but had so many issues with the writing that I wasn't that surprised when it got cancelled.

They're also comparing the ratings of a single episode of Penguin to the entire first season of The Acolyte

That's always an option sure, but since EVERY company does this now it means we all just stop watching TV basically. Maybe that would be the best thing after all though lol

If you remove the 4th panel then this accurately describes call center customer service

You like it now, just wait though. In another year "YouTube Premium" will probably split further into basic and premium plus tiers. Basic will cost exactly the same except you now have to watch "limited" ads again, while Premium Plus will cost twice as much and be basically the same thing you're paying for now plus some new bullshit feature no one cares about.

This is what YouTube has become. It's what all the corporate services that like to make you think they care about you do. As long as we all keep shelling out more money for less services they will all just keep pumping us for every dollar they can possibly get.

It's an unethical strategy called a "loss leader" where these companies offer a service they actually lose money on for a limited time until they get you to the point that you take it for granted. Then they make that same price point terrible and jack up the price for the good service you've come to expect.

I can't call this one fully original because I did use the Bing Image Creator AI website to generate the initial artwork.

After generating the image I converted it into a pattern on Floss Cross

If you hadn't already guessed, this is a Prince pattern! I'm making it as a custom piece for a friend, but it's also a good chance to test out a homemade pattern before I try a bigger completely original pattern after this!

I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It's not a community I'm super active in so it's not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can't even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I'm in view all

What's everyone else working on today?

It's a little blurry because this was taken from the car but I still thought it was worth sharing!

I just finished one commission that I realized I severely undercharged for once I started it, now I have a few other people asking me to make more pieces!

I looked up some info online about setting prices, but I'm honestly never sure how many hours a cross stitch is going to take me to finish, and the other method they recommended was charging by the number of stitches, but that seems like it ends up making things more expensive than people would be willing to pay...

Does anyone else have an easy pricing structure they use?

Is @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee still on here? I feel like she might have some experience with this lol
