Might be the photo, but it looks to me like top is vanilla cookie with choc-chip, while bottom is chocolate cookie with choc-chip, making it “double” chocolate.
Definitely could be clearer, but I don’t think they’re making the claim you think they are.
I’ve not actually heard any in so so long, but Bad vs Ghostbusters was a classic mashup back in the day (with sound quality to match) lol
So you’re annoyed that someone (who took the time to go to a charity shop, list the book online, and ship it to you) charged you the RRP for the book, that you didn’t have to buy from them?
I hope you have the same kind of energy for when mega-corporations charge anything from tens to thousands of pounds for products that often cost single pounds or even pennies to manufacture (due to underpaying for labour and materials that were in turn manufactured by underpaid labour as well), and the snowballing impact they have on the rest of the economy (by pricing out smaller companies, monopolising industries, avoiding tax, and so on).
The person you bought this from likely works for themsleves, trolling charity shops all day for bargains, and almost certainly pays tax on their income. I’m as anti-capitalist as they get, but even I can’t take issue with this. If they had charged you more than the RRP, sure, that’d pushing it, but if you didn’t want to pay full price, you should have spent your own time looking for the bargain. ¯\(ツ)/¯
FYI she’s gone back to using her full name Thandiwe
That’s pretty cool, and sounds like you’ve got a good challenge on your hands both because it will take you a lot to up the diversity, but also because statistically it feels like somewhere there will be people that look like whatever results from your work unless you add in non-human features (but I realise that’s not really the point, but rather to create “everypeople” rather than celeb/filter clones, it’s just the “don’t look like any one real person” got me lol).
Adam Pearson was the first that came to mind.
Having a bit more of a think about women in particular, I’d say Michaela Coel, Milly Shapiro, Liz Carr just off the top of my head, I’m sure there are more, I might add them if they come to me (keeping in mind that I’m terrible with both faces and names lol)…
On an aside - this is a great demonstration of representation (or lack thereof) and intersectionality.
While more white cis men are allowed to exist in the industry without meeting the “ideal” standard, darker skinned people (even within majority black/brown countries, colourism is still a very real problem), disabled people, trans people, and women in general but also specifically within each of the other categories, are all still held to a much higher standard and scrutiny (and of course the more of those categories you fit in to, the worse it is). And it isn’t a bug of course, but a feature.
Here from /all, don’t own a 3D printer, but if I did, yes I absolutely would lol
Maybe change it up with some more modern/abstract/famous faces though, the Greek statue look would get old fast… But planters are so expensive for what they are, being able to print my own would really feed my failed plant addiction (I’m no good at actually keeping them alive but I can’t stop buying more) 😂
I love how much thought you put in to your posts, your effort is appreciated!
the look on the face is both inviting you in and challenging you to leave
Well put.
I like to think I’ve perfected the latter part of that look myself… 😂😂
Photo in OP looks like a cabaret act in a fabulous bejewelled gown just come on stage, about to lift that wing to cover the lower part of their face before bursting in to a dramatic song and dance number… 😂❤
They’re all great, but that last photo is really stunning.
I love how their spread wing creates this plaid/gingham like pattern, and how it looks almost pixilated at the edges, very cool.
You can go and ask Hexbear users themselves about it
Lol, yeah, that’ll go well, because they’re so welcoming to outsiders or even the slightest critique… 😂
We’re leftists and our site culture is pretty aggressive
I know that would make you feel better, but no, there are plenty of aggressive leftists on this site, and we don’t get singled out, that’s because people don’t hate hexbear because you’re aggressive leftists, but because you’re toxic pro authoritarian tankies (not that there’s any other kind), so not actually leftist at all (hint: if your “communism” has, and you worship and admire a dictator, it’s not communism, same goes for if it has billionaires and prison camps, like your favourite flavoured boot China, or even N. Korea)…
Some that others have already said (hard work = success, trust cops), and off the top of my head:
That my ultimate goal in life is to find a husband, and carry and then raise children (people don’t stop saying it once you grow up, you just hopefully learn that they’re full of shit)
That “blood is thicker than water” and that your family will always be there for you/want what’s best for you

At least it wasn’t you who did it, and you got a cool gift out of it lol
My best guess would be because the chocolate cookies don’t contain any chocolate, but rather just cocoa powder.
