To celebrate Pacific Rim’s 10th anniversary I decided to let this thing finally see the light of day.
Diecast figure of GD—I have no idea how I managed to acquire one years after Soul of Chogokin ceased production, but here she finally is after years of sitting unopened in my closet, waiting for her time.
As you can see she’s extremely detailed and very heavy. I forgot she had light up features. I love that they included the oil tanker baseball bat.
i might just be autistic but data entry fucking rules dudes you just. enter the data. you take the data and you plug it in. then what? who knows! who cares. the data. has been entered. what next? buddy you’re not gonna believe this it’s more fucking data. excel used to be my enemy but now she is my best friend
Look, I’m nearly 30. I know that means I’m inches from death to most teens here. In the United States, teens have been so utterly failed by the education system deciding that “digital native” meant “miraculously knows how the internet works”.
I was taught, in school, how to use search engines. I was taught about what information people can take advantage of and how they do that. Did I still do teens stuff? Yes - I accessed sites I shouldn’t have and lied about my age to read erotica. But I didn’t announce my presence, and I knew that if I decided to say I was an adult, despite not being one, if I saw shit I didn’t want to see, that was my fault. Because I was taught why age gates are there.
I am not saying this to say “teens are stupid” - if you’re a teenager and reading this, I do not think you’re stupid. You were not given the appropriate amount of information to keep yourself safe in the same way I was. That’s not fair. Please try to keep in mind that adults who have the information and want to share it aren’t doing so because we think you’re an idiot. We want you to have good information so you can keep yourself safe.
