  • Cause lemmy.world has been banning people for expressing that sentiment lol

  • Lmao comparing the worst person on death row to an oligarchs is like comparing a kitten to a demon, they're not even in the same zip code of evil

  • My yin, if there's anyone who's deaths should be celebrated, it's oligarchs. I think they should be stopped nonviolently and preferably legally, but guess what, they've removed all choices other than violence.

  • I have no sympathy for people who are responsible for and profit from killing people. All the people who died preventable deaths because insurance wouldn't pay to save their lives had family too. I'm not about to go out and shoot people but I'll damn well cheer for someone killing an evil bastard.

  • Nah, too hard to run with a plug in without it chafing you terribly

  • Only in that they happened before life got really terrible

  • Not really, I'd started running like 2 years before starting toying and running with stuff it would end up chafing you terribly. Life kind of came to a crashing halt and I haven't run since March and still can't really fit half the things I used to

  • Hahaha definitely by choice, you're not fitting something that size in someone unless they've worked up to it

  • I'm 4 years clean from league and I still dream about it sometimes

  • Only in that they happened before my life fell apart several months ago and they're about the only interesting things about me I could come up with

  • I ran over 1000 miles in 2023! I've taken an 8.5" circumference toy anally!

  • If you want to do that in OpenSCAD, I'd look into how a pineapple gets cut, and then try to emulate that. I've dabbled with openscad but never got super far in it, so not sure what's possible with revolves and splines and the like

  • Took a quick crack at doing it by hand, subdiving an icosphere in that specific way and copying it around.

    Definitely a bit time consuming but not too bad for that many faces. I imagine scaling it up would make finding an automated solution more important though. That was maybe 10 minutes of work? not bad

    scaling it and solidifying yields this

    Step by step:

    Basic icosphere

    Subdivided the edges and connected to opposing corners to find the middle of the triangle

    Cut the last edge in and dissolved unnecessary edges

    Repeated for each level, then duplicated and rotated 5 times to make the sphere out of these divided faces (mirrored on the z axis to save half the work)

    Selecting all those midpoints with a side on xray view

    From there just scaling them out to make the pyramids

  • Yeah I didn't realize you were after a specific style of faceting until I posted the comment and scrolled back up. I'm sure there's an easy way to do it in blender, I'm just not quite sure how... I'll let you know if I figure it out! The method would be subdividing each face of the icosphere in three, with a point at the center of each triangle and cutting lines from the existing corners to it, I'm just not sure how to do it automatically. Once you have it divided like that, easy enough to grab those new center points and scale them out to make your triangle facets

    Here's the result the deleted comment yields

    With a basic bevel

  • I'm too fucked up for an SO. There's a song lyric that goes "How's anyone else gonna love you, if you don't love you too" and like, yeah. Way too full of self hatred to be appealing to anyone.

  • Whole lotta talk about filaments but none about modeling -- in blender, create an ico sphere, then add a subdivision modifier. Then, add a decimate modifier, set that modifier to planar, and slide the angle limiter till you're left with only hexagons (and a few pentagons). Apply the modifiers, then in edit mode, select all, then scale non z factors (hotkey s then hit shift z) to get it to lightbulb shape. You can add a solidify modifier to take it from a solid to a hollow sphere, then from there you you can do a boolean cut in edit mode or with a modifier to take off one of the ends. Personally I'd take it into fusion 360 from there to add your attachment method and/or base piece. Let me know if you have questions or want help!

  • You're allowed to have romantic feelings to people you're not sexually attracted to! Been through something similar on my journey, what I thought was attraction was envy and had the oops I'm trans moment, and turns out I'm kinda not sexually attracted to people's bodies. Still attracted to people, but for who they are and how they act rather than for what they look like. This really helped me figure out my attraction to men, because obviously I felt different about them than women and didn't have the feelings about them physically (gender envy in disguise) but still had feelings for them, without that physical attraction. Ended up hooking up with some guys and liked it/them. Certainly not suggesting this is the case with you, just... Attraction, romantic and sexual, are complicated things, and it's ok to not have it all figured out. Just try to keep an open mind for yourself, it's a lot easier to question yourself and reflect when all answers are acceptable, you know?

  • Hope? I have none. I continue on through the power of avoidance and denial. If I stop to think about things it turns into suicidal thoughts, so I just do my damnedest not to think.
