Even then, what about deviantart? until you realize they get funding through premium and various other alternatives.

Nazis bring traffic, serial harassers don't impact traffic, and pornbots were the only thing Tumblr wanted to shut down to keep the app on android+apple phones (as it was removed for a little while because of so much porn). Tumblr does not give a single poo poo about the health of the website, as long as they keep getting traffic so advertisers can keep advertising. Oh, and many advertisers won't put their ads up on sites that have boobs, so that was another reason for Tumblr to remove them. Then, because they are very smart, instead of hiring a handful of moderators to go through, they wrote a garbage bot that rampages through the website slashing and burning as it goes. Edit: Oh, and the best part is, it has done next to nothing to actually curb the pornbots, as they operate faster than the no-titty bot.

australia lol. i'll also be working with feral goats, which after three hundred years in the wild have evolved into twisted satan beasts now considered their own separate subspecies of capri. my central tenet is that i will never slay an animal or cause an animal to die by my conservation actions, so i will negotiate with them instead

Australia's ecology must be crazier than poo poo! Multiple strains of competing invasive species...In your opinion what new species should invade australia to settle the score. Australian art's cool also, aboriginal art philosophy is very cool. Sidney Nolan is also very good.

Multiple strains of competing invasive species...In your opinion what new species should invade australia to settle the score. australian ecology is in a tragic state, the combination of habitat destruction and onslaughts of feral species have all our sweet marsupials teetering on the brink.  right now our big feral problems are cats, dogs, foxes, goats, deer, horses, donkeys, camels, carp, cane toads, red-eared slider turtles and various species of bird. cane toads started out in the north but have migrated southward with global warming - it was just announced today that the first one has been found in my town! (it killed someone's pug  ) if i was going to pick a new feral i would probably go with hyaenas, to thin out the ungulates, or some sort of chamois

pikachode posted:aboriginal art rules, if you ever come to australia you should try to visit the inland and get to an indigenous-run art gallery so they can explain some of the art to you in person, it's so fascinating once they teach you a few motifs and then you can see them popping up in paintings from all over the continent this is why i sometimes hate people. who thought it was a good idea to "by accident" introduce some animals only for them to outcompete the native species and nearly turn australia to 100% desert. goes to show my outlook on life. but ey, look at the bright side, once this eras over, life starts again before getting engulfed by the sun.

I know the cats get huge. I'd also heard about massive kangaroo death, that sounds awful! In my ignorance of the problem I hope camels will thrive in the long term. Those are good picks and possibly even advisable to introduce together, but only if some kind of impassable event horizon occurs. Again though don't ask me ask an official. I am sorry about the land.

Cane toads are definitely poisonous and are infamous for fatally poisoning pets that try to eat them. They're also like six inches long and crazy fat, and Wikipedia says they're the world's biggest toads, which I believe. Basically, cane toads are one of God's most wretched creations, and I have a certain perverse respect for them, probably because I've never been on the same continent as one. EDIT: poo poo, wait, Wikipedia says they range as far north as south Texas?

yeah the problem with cane toads isn't that they prey on other fauna (they do, but obviously only stuff smaller than them) but they're so poisonous that meeting one's gaze can kill a rottweiler at twenty paces

i'm trying to get into training native fauna not to eat the toads or to only eat the non-poisonous parts (the guts aren't poisonous). black kites and crows have already figured it out for themselves, and researchers have also had some success with quolls (pictured below)

Don't lick the cane toads. I have heard Colorado river toads are better. How the gently caress do people draw straight lines? I realize this is a stupid question, but I recently have been doing some precise drawing and lining with markers and it's not easy. I am used to a more sketchy approach with paint and colored pencil. Are there any tricks to drawing a straight line in one shot? Or do I just have to practice drawing straight lines for a month? The world is lucky I'm not a tattooer.

Also feel free to use a ruler or straightedge, anything longer than 3 or 4 inches on paper and I go for the ruler. Same with circles, I go straight for the compass if I need actual technical accuracy in a drawing. Also it seems unintuitive but if you're going to do a straight/non-wobbly line freehand, it's best to do it faster rather than slower.

The starter exercises on http://drawabox.com/ are good for practicing straight lines, as well as the box drawing exercises after that. One solid afternoon should be enough to be able to eyeball a line straight enough to be getting on with.

Consider never drawing a straight line again in your life and calling it your style. Need to draw a house? Weird fishlens camera time! Need to design architecture? Living amongst the elves in the treeeees! Character holding a spear? It's a scythe now, or possibly a whip, deal with it.
