Had some idiot in a red suv nearly cause me to have a car accident earlier today. There were two lanes merging into one and the guy turning to my side got way too close for comfort behind me. Nearly had an argument with my mom worried about the car in front as if I was anywhere close to being bumper to bumper with them while I'm worried about the car behind riding up on me like he's got road rage. Apparently the car had a Florida license plate, so there's that.

I was confused about why I was no longer watching an artist I liked a lot on FA. I watched them... and after few weeks I realized why I had unwatched them.

99% of the posts were just stream ads. Multiple times per week. All actual art went to some external website.

this is how it is in english too, i think. i'm actually learning about this in a semantics/pragmatics class right now
the first type you mention above is called "complementary antonyms" (can only be one or the other)
second would probably be closest to "reverse antonyms" (denoting change or motion in one direction or the other)
and the third is "gradable antonyms", with the two words being extremes on a spectrum (with any number of degrees in between)
funnily enough i just took an exam over this subject matter earlier today

Then what’s the opposite of medium?

Don't know if it's recognized the same all over the world, but in the college level/above-college level Japanese linguistic sphere, "opposites" (in any language) are characterized as being able to fall into one of three determined groups. One type expresses "if not A then definitely B" (such as "man/woman," "adult/child,"). One expresses "an action or thing perceived as being in opposition" ("buy/sell," "come/go," "peace treaty/declaration of war"). And the final type expresses "opposing levels of a spectrum" ("long/short," "high/low").

Since "medium" expresses the middle point of a spectrum, it can't have an opposite word in the final group. And as it's an adjective and not an action or noun, the second group is also impossible. But the first group remains possible, and the corresponding "opposite word" would be said to be something along the lines of "irregular size(d)."

    Next time I see some enthusiastic uploader who has been tagging anthros as humanoids or humanoids as anthros on every post they have ever posted, I will personally come eat all cables off their electronics.

    If your solution to a problem relies on "If everyone would just.." then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At no time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they are not going to start now.

    I’m halfway done with my new song. For this one, I decided to do a little bit of rapping.

    Now I’m no free stylist. I can’t think up something that quick. I just write up the lyrics and just simply read through them as I go.

    >>So here’s a sample of what y’all be hearing soon.<<

    This was already done about a month and a half ago. I just didn’t have the time to share it. A lot of trial and error with this. 😗

    Looking forward to it

    If it was up to me, everyone would have to go through mandatory tagging basics tutorial and test before they are allowed to tag or post anything.

    I'm imagining it could work with, say, like a quick captcha test to see if the uploader can correctly identify tags - "Please check all images with <tag> in it"

    Would be cool if a tagging tutorial vid got uploaded on the site

    some sort of tagging_guidelines_illustrated video series _would_ be cool, but it'd be a lot of work to make something like that that'd pass quality standards and, more importantly, be fun enough to watch. also, along with that, whoever made this would likely want to get express permission to use any images as featured as examples (or create new ones from scratch).

    sometimes I feel like we ought to have some sort of forced tutorial that explains the basics of the tagging system before a user is allowed to add tags to a post. TWYS's function/philosophy, how lore tags are meant to work, definitions of important tag groups like form and gender, etc. these are all things that either often cause tagging issues like mistags and tag warring or lead people to argue in the comments or on the forums.

    I don't think the new upload form was enough and, in a few places, I think it might've lead to some more problems.

    in a set so as not have to scroll all the way to the top to access
