Mostly 3 (What fresh hell do you have for my smugness today), often 4 (what? what? how the fuck? why?). Doing good at a 5 for most of today though!

The more... favorable right wing points I've heard are more along the lines of "I've busted my ass for what little I have! How dare you ask me to pay to subsidize the lives of people who aren't trying to work?"
Completly ignoring the fact that better welfare programs should help them to not have to work so damn hard for so little in the first place. Or the fact that the welfare cliff and other various systemic problems make it that much harder to get out of that pit no matter how hard you're trying.
It's not even quite "fuck you, I got mine" because so many of them barely "got theirs" as is, which makes them even more protective. The ones that do have, have latched on to this idea of the entirely self made man, which ignores all the public welfare systems they used on their journey. Like schools, or roads. You can hardly exist in modern America without using multiple tax funded public works/welfare things every day.
Then you add in the hard spun rhetoric that taxes they already don't want being taken from them might be paying for things they personally disagree with and things get extra firey.
Meanwhile the richest people on earth have spent more money than is comprehendable on convincing people that going after rich peoples' money will just make everything more expensive for the normal folk.
But that would imply that they were currently leaving potential profits on the table. They're already charging absolutely as much as they can, and constantly trying to shift it higher. I'm sure they'd still fuck us on the way down, but we're never going to fix things unless we find some way to adequately tax the rich.
A delicious source of protein!
It also depends on the system they're trying to emulate the style of. This would fit fine in the PS1 "Of Mana" game. Too complex for SNES, which is what most people probably assuming graphics like this are going for.
This next photo is me at home. Standing in the place where I live.
Have you tried tossing the URLs into yt-dlp? That's the go-to software for downloading video from streaming sites.
Which one of the four spiritual successors is this one now?
Crab people crab people
Wait, they're adding vinyl cutting to the extruder? What in the mad science hell?
I can't see a world where that works well unless the cutter is on a different part. I'd imagine that a vinyl cutting head has entirely different design considerations and constraints than a 3D filament extruder.
Just this one. The dbzer0 instance is run in a manner I agree with (as democratic as possible, many choices determined by community vote), run by an admin I respect (former top mod of r/piracy, developer of a number of software projects that significantly improve quality of life on the fediverse by killing CSAM and offering community based trust and verification of instances), has been around long enough that I have no concerns about it suddenly disappearing with no notice, and generally doesn't defederate from other instances unless they're pedo or nazi related (so I don't need to be on multiple instances to get at the fediverse content I want to see).
Plus, at the end of the day, if the instance goes down, I'll just create an account somewhere else. If I don't remember one of the communities I was subscribed to then I can't argue that it was all that important in the first place.
Look, I told you last time: I don't expect much out of a knowledge spirit you threw in for free with my quills, ink, and scrollpaper. But if for some gods-forsaken reason you won't allow me to dismiss it from my service, you can't have it lie when it doesn't know something!
At that point it's not a knowledge spirit! It's false advertising! You sold me a scroll kit cursed with a liar spirit!
I'd give you points for style, that's one creative curse! Except you didn't mean for it to be a liar spirit. You truly think this thing helps your customers.
