I really want Fran's ponytail for Viera.
The two ponytails we have are like seriously discount versions, and some players swear the one we have is exactly Fran's or just as good. There are some who argue with me on this, it's weird to me! I don't know why some players are so against more unique hairstyles or NPC hairs in general.

My Viera + googled image.

Fran's ponytails sticks out a ways and also is thick enough to have it so that clipping isn't and wouldn't be much of an issue unless you wore wings or something to afk in Limsa for example.

I want Frans Hair. Please

A tree fell on my house last night, well like this huge piece of a tree. Don't think it really damaged much though, somehow. Going to need to have it cut and removed. It's just leaning against the back of my house right now.

Just found out about the recent Poets of the Fall album. Think this is my favorite song off it, at least at first listen.

Am I the only one who rly doesn't give a damn about Elon Musk buying Twitter?
At least it'd be a bit more transparent about who's responsible which it wasn't before, and nothing will rly change if he wants it to still exist on the mobile app stores.

Twitter also isn't actually that important in reality, the people who engage with it especially actively are an extremely tiny group of people in the grand scheme of things.
More people hear about Twitter than use it, only reason why it even ends up mattering at all is because marketing researchers use it and companies take it seriously.
But as far as politics goes both Twitter and Reddit are complete hellholes already, even the people engaging in it are aware of it.

But people act like the world is coming to an end because he bought it, I do think that it's a problem but I also think it was a problem before it's not an issue with Elon Musk specifically.

Nah, personally I couldn't care less about Twitter.
I don't mean to sound like such boomer, but back in 2012 was Twitter's prime... Since then it's pretty much gone in the gutter.

Mee too. I do not understand Twitter as a plattform at all. :/ I tried to use it but it is not very useful for me. The only social plattforms i use frequently are various forums and Discord.

If people are that alarmed about a shady rich guy owning one thing, nobody tell them who owns literally everything else.

Mainly I think it's just political bs, people either think he'll turn it into a political hellhole which they disagree with or the other side who'd agree with it.
It's basically part of the online '' culture war '' which like 0.1% care about and engage with.
Imo I don't think much will change at all, I think we'll get an edit button which should've been there already it's insane that it isn't and also the presence of bots might decrease.

There will probably be an increase of very vocal conservatives but I just avoid politics on Twitter because it's truly the worst and most braindead thing imaginable.
I only use it to follow artists I like and some streamers to see when they go live.

My brother got me to log into my Twitter for the first time since 2010 back towards the end of 2020. I regret it every other day, but there has been quite a lot of good memes, art, porn, and other various degenerate activity for me to enjoy there.

All in all, I probably would have signed off and not looked back if it weren't for my bro, and for a lot of major politicians using it. It's probably an ego thing for them, like it is for celebrities, but you do kind of get to see the plays they're making. It's just, you know, can you handle the sheer volume of brain rot you'll be exposed to every time you open the damn thing?

As for Elon Musk buying it... Ehh... Billionaires have done far worse and far weirder things. It remains to be seen if he can actually shake it up enough for it to even slide one inch closer to a neutral platform.
