Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, which elevates blood pressure by causing your blood vessels to constrict.

I’m partial to the Judges’ guns, particularly from the Urban-led movie, as I’ve not delved much into the comics.

Also, I think this falls more into the fantasy category, but I love the chonkiness of Hellboy’s Samaritan.

Haha, any kind of ink works for me, as long as I can draw with it! Also, I'm always looking for art communities on Lemmy, so I just joined!

Currently, I'm doing studies of mechanical joints and greebles to improve my ability to draw hard surface stuff (e.g. mechs, vehicles, inorganic constructs), and I'm also drawing a shitpost meme when I need to take a break from studying! :)

Mine is drawing. I’ve had other hobbies and have other things that I enjoy doing, but drawing is the most engaging thing for me. Your standards always outpace your ability, so there’s never a moment when you feel like you’ve accomplished everything you could’ve accomplished. There’s always something new to draw or learn about.

This is so annoying. It goes into a full screen ad as soon as you turn it on, so I babysit the remote and navigate to an app as soon as it turns on, in order to avoid ads. It also does this if you let the TV idle, which I also hate. I might just throw it away and go back to hooking up a laptop to the TV instead. I paid $70-ish bucks for this stupid thing.

Edit: I just remembered that you can hack these fire sticks, so i’ll probably try that first.

Earth is the only planet that we’re adapted to live on. Nowhere else will be as forgiving of our mistakes.

[email protected] is a decent, general purpose art-centric community. People submit their personal art work, and the skill level seems to have a pretty broad range, which I like.

Others, like !traditional_art, !Digitalart, etc. seem to have a high bar when it comes to submitting art, so I think that those types of communities tend to center more on sharing/posting others’ artwork (i.e., professional/advanced artists, etc.)

There are other ones like !drawing and !learntodraw where the focus isn’t so much on quality/finished artwork, but the community seems dead.
