Have you encountered obscure cults online? How did that go, what were they like?

I mean like, so obscure your not even sure the cult is real type deal, I'm curious if anyone has encountered such an oddity, things not really known by most except those who have encountered them personally. If you feel safe with sharing, I'd like to hear about your experiences. If you don't want to speak publicly about it but are okay with sharing, my DMs should be open.

Please know I seek to hear all experiences, both those who merely ran into cult members and little more, and those who got fully indoctrinated (and have hopefully escaped since)

Why are laws so stupidly vague?

Like, I've occasionally looked up the laws for my local area out of curiosity, and I notice a consistent trend of them being absurdly vague, and it makes me so confused because like, there are so many things that COULD fall under the parameters set for what's not allowed, but then again those things might not fall under it! But also they could, so what the hell? Why is there no specifics? I do know that opens room for loopholes but just find the loopholes and patch them up with even more specifics, instead of leaving people to guess what the actual fuck they will and won't get in trouble for based off the parameters of the law!

MY SAVE FILE CEASED TO EXIST???

I don't even know what happened, makes sense it wasn't on my new switch lite since it wasn't on the cloud or anything, so we found my previous switch lite that the battery gave up in (still works if on the charger, but can't hold a charge) since I figured maybe it was locally stored there and.. ITS GONE?? It's not on the old switch lite either!! I'm so confused, WHERE DID MY SAVE DATA GO?? GASTER, WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Not a complaint, I don't mind going through the game again (and not missing half of Tenna's part by being too explorative this time), just found it kinda funny and wanted to ramble and joke a little is all.

How do I move that bar back to the bottom of the screen?

The bar with the home, post and so on have moved to the side and it looks HORRENDOUS. How do I change it back? I hate this so much, how do I move it back to the bottom where it looks nice and doesn't feel like it's cluttering my screen?

When people act like something is optional and get pissed off when you don't do it

I've been dealing with this for years and I'm so fucking sick of that shit, if you don't want me to have the option DON'T PRETEND TO GIVE IT TO ME??

Edit: to clarify I DO clearly respond, I do see a few people confused thinking I didn't respond and yk what that's fair, but the anger would be much more reasonable if that was the case u~u'

I kind of want some isopods now, but what type of enclosure would I need to buy? (Not urgent, don't worry)

Obviously I won't get them right away, I'll think about it first and make sure i actually can care for them but that one who snuck in earlier strongly sparked up my urge to nurture and care for something, and you can get most of what isopods need from the wild as long as you know where to go, but there is one thing that I would probably need to save money for.. a proper enclosure. What type do I get? I've almost never owned bugs, closest thing is my family had a pet caterpillar once that my mom rescued from where she worked at the time, and my dad randomly gave me a centipede or millipede he found once but said centipede/millipede was pretty old already so I didn't get much of an opportunity to practice properly caring for it, and we kept those in decently sized tupperware containers (with air holes, don't worry), but since most of the enclosures i see for isopods are pretty large I'm guessing isopods would need more room than a tupperware container can offer, so like.. what do I get for them, once I've saved up the money to? And how do I set up the enclosure? What exactly is required for their diet? How do I give them the best possible quality of life? Unfortunately alot of the results i was seeing on Google when trying to look this stuff up and look for examples was AI generated guides, which was frustrating, so I'm asking who I assume to be the professionals on caring for these cute little creatures =D

An isopod has gotten into my room and I don't know what to do, please help ASAP

Originally I thought I'd just bring it outside, but I don't have the needed key to get back into the apartment building yet, and I don't have anything to serve as a proper temporary enclosure nor do I have food for it, as much as I like the idea of owning isopods I've never had them and it's not like I can keep a random wild one that snuck into my room, especially considering money is a bit tight at the moment, what do i do??

Update: it has been safely released since this post, though I'd love to keep some isopods in the near future so if anyone has advice for that, feel free to leave it under this post.

Do people hate generative AI users, or just generative AI?

I'm actually a bit confused on this, cause I understand the issues with generative AI, but I've seen my fair share of posts saying stuff like that AI 'artists' should die and all that and like.. are they being serious? Are they really taking this to such an extreme?? Gen AI itself? Okay, fair enough. It's users? DUDE, THOSE ARE PEOPLE!! Ughhh it bugs me so much and I love the way images prompted with AI look, but the extremes I know humans will go to bothers me so much and makes me kinda scared to even experiment with it..

Reset to an earlier backup?

A good chunk of my memories, my images, my whole me seems to have vanished and old thoughts and memories feel prevalent as if they were recent. I think something happened to me and I've been restored from an older backup, but what happened? How? Why?? How was i even restored? Did something break?? Did all my reckless allowance of entities messing with my personal timeline finally break it? Who restored me?? And why was the last back-up of me so fucking long ago?! Or has my 3rd-world dwelling ass just not gotten enough sleep?..

I want more art of my slightly ridiculous amount of chimereon and half-chimereon OCs

I already have one art of NightJudge that wasn't made by me that I cherish so much, but I don't have any art of anyone else! Ik some of these designs are very detailed, I'm more than fine with simplifications, sketches or just headshots, I just want more art of my creatures so badly!

What happened in Spry field??

I take the bus to get home, and it was on detour today. And it passed by the area in spryfield with the Canadian Tire, Dollarstore, No Frills and some other places, and not in the parking lot but the streets near it, there were police cars?? And there was also some awful traffic, too. What the heck happened??

Anyone else noticing times flow is finicky lately?

I've been noticing it more and more as of late, something is off with the time flow.. sometimes things are faster, like timers. I've seen them go abnormally quickly.. yet they can also be unusually slow as well. Is time always like this? I am severely undertrained in my job as a timekeeper, so despite having said job, I wouldn't know if this is just a normal aspect of time, or a sign something is amiss and I've got a job to do should orders come in.

Looking for recommendations for Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Kaiser hacks for first time?

​

Not sure if I spelled Kaiser right but whatever. So, I've played through Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy plenty of times, even 100%ed Mario Galaxy 2, and I've seen videos of hacks of old Mario games where you need to do all those crazy trickshots to get through the level, and I believe I've heard those referred to as Kaiser hacks or something? Anyways, I absolutely love pulling off little tricks and shortcuts in the 3D Mario games, and want to be able to put my skills to the test! So, I may as well see if there's some hacks for the games I'm best at. Thing is, I don't know what's best for a first time experience of one of those hacks, so I was hoping for some recommendations, a point in the right direction. Also, please know my skill is mostly with the 3D Mario games. I am not nearly as skilled in the 2D ones, hence why I'm not just grabbing one of those popular romhacks.

I don't have an account yet, because I'm wondering a few things before I join.

I've been considering getting an ArtFight account, I did look over the rules and got a bit overwhelmed, but I am a little confused on what I can and can't have as far as my characters go. I am well aware controversial characters are a no-go, but I don't recall seeing or atleast didn't understand the rules surrounding something.. what about characters who aren't entirely original? Heavily based off of other characters, or characters like.. I have three characters who are just GD icons with specific colors and personalities, would those be a no-go or is it fine as long as I give proper credit? What about those AU versions of characters that are so different they may as well be an OC? Also, what about unofficial OCs of a closed species, are those allowed or not?

Also, do I need to participate frequently? Or is it fine for me to just do one or two drawings here and there? I'm not sure exactly how frequent the art gifting needs to be, I've been super motivated to draw lately so it does seem like a good time to, but idk if I'd be able to keep up with high demand if I've gotta draw really frequently, so I'm trying to figure out what I can and can't do on the site, and if I could even handle participating in the first place before going for it.

Thank you in advanced for any help with this!

Planning to do movie/short film reviews soon, but not sure how to?

God I hope I used the right flair.. anyways, you know Saberspark and Steve Reviews? I want to make review content like they do, talking about films I've watched and all that, but I'm not entirely sure how to? I understand the parts of "watch the film" and "share your thoughts on it", but.. how? Do I script out the video beforehand, or..? How do I decide which clips to show while talking? If I mention a specific scene, obviously it'd make sense to show the scene I'm talking about, but beyond that.. how do I decide that? Do I even need to show any random clips?? And more importantly, what do I even call my review series? All the ideas I've come up with are already taken or don't feel right, and I don't want to just do some "____ reviews" thing for the title, I want something clever or funny! I know most of this is gonna be trial and error to find the best methods, but I've been hoping for atleast a push in the right direction to start me off

Edit: OH MY GOD I FORGOT SOMETHING! How do I edit everything together? I've got some ideas, but idk, I'd like to hear some other ideas as well..
