I have federated myself. After 5 years of waffling, I've finally set up accounts elsewhere, which will be my mains henceforth - you can find me and feel free to follow at https://urusai.social/@aesmael and https://blahaj.zone/@aesmael
I don't plan to do the formal 'account move' process but I expect to only use this account as one of my many sensors intruding into this reality

Just for old times' sake, my petition to allow US and UK trans and nonbinary people fleeing transphobic laws and a potential genocide to claim asylum in Canada? Well, it closes in just under one week. At the moment, we're about sixteen thousand signatures short of the second-most signatures on any Canadian petition to the government. Ever.
So I'm gonna send this around one more time, with the hope that Canadians will see it, sign it, and pass it along. You will need a Canadian address (a real one) to fill out the form.

So what if we think of Toilet Guy as a single configuration of a system for generating figures, and ask: okay, how can we alter the configuration?
And that can begin very simply: by moving some of the endpoints of the parts of our standard configuration. Shorten a limb. Shorten everything. Widen the trunk. It's easy to imagine a length or width attribute assigned to each of those lines, and we just change the value for some of them.
Perennial hot take:
Most people don't need 3d printers, in the same way that most people don't need table saws.
If you have already have project concepts a printer would be good for, heck yeah, get a printer!
If you're like "3d printing seems kinda neat and I saw a cool gizmo that's a free print file", maybe see if a buddy can print it for you because most people who print downloadable gizmos lose interest after about a month.
