iām not sure if thereās really much worth saying, other than iām a little disappointed. i feel this way because it seems to be really easy nowadays to just start one right now, and then for it to end the very next day. wasteof.money started out as some teenagerās hobby project with an extremely small and niche circle around it, to becoming still a hobby project, but now with a somewhat medium-sized community for it. it was lighthearted and casual from the very beginning, and we seem to be slowly shifting away from that the bigger we get.
that scares me to an extent, because i donāt want this community to be hostile or toxic ā even despite the somewhat recent announcement made in the discord about no causing harm to other sites, i still feel like similar behavior happens in places that are off-site and underground, and thatās another reason why i donāt want really ridiculous kerfuffles happening here. iād much rather have them kept off-site entirely so wasteof.money can still be welcoming and inclusive to everyone, including those who require much more assistance than others for things that are simply out of their control entirely. i think itās really apparent that we shouldnāt be mocking people advocating for that.
it also doesnāt help that i feel totally obligated to look over and moderate the whole thing, because someone could easily go too far with their colorful language. maybe iām unnecessarily stressing out over this, but i donāt know. rant over.

Something happened IRL and I wanted to take a break from the Internet to clam myself down but honestly this is something I have to share with you guys.
Ratio is no longer with us and that ratio committed suicide. Ratio was someone that made me feel like I am worth being in this world and she helped me follow my dreams and to even help accomplish them. Even when ratio was not in her best mood she was still there for me and others and the impact she had will not be forgotten. The legacy she had on this site is something many will not forget and we will all know that her legacy will still live on even after her passing. We will all remember the impact ratio has made to this site knowing that her and many others helped change this site to what it is today. Many will know her as ratio but I will remember her as my big sister that was there for me and was the most caring person a person can ask for. May she rest in peace knowing she is in a better place now. I will miss her a lot but will always love her from my heart.

would a calorie be worth a single byte?
if so, then a big mac may be worth 590 bytes, which seems a little low for a big macā¦
just some more doodles because why not :3
