Deviation Actions
Mature tags on stuff isn't something that I used to give a crap about. As a registered user, I had it set to show everything, because I didn't give a shit, and there's some awesome art that also happens to be mature.
Now, however, my daughter has taken an interest in looking at art on Deviant Art. She likes to look over my shoulder on occasion when I randomly browse the front page, and since I'm doing the driving, it's not a huge deal, but she still sees the thumbnails.
In any case, thanks to this, I turned on the mature filter, to avoid coming across thumbnails for anything that I'd rather my 8-year old not seeing.
The problem is that it appears a lot of people don't use the damn mature tag on their posts.
I know that's one of the things that the report button is for, but I'm not inclined to pull that kind of shit. Having too many deviations reported for mature content can get your account banned, and I'm not cool with that. I'm not about to risk getting a decent artist booted off the site because they forgot a damn checkbox when submitting their stuff.
At the same time, I don't want to be one of 'those' people - the mom going onto a site and complaining about tits. That's shit. Really, it is.
Thing is, I don't even really worry much about her coming across some nudity. It's the fetish shit that I'd really like to shelter her from, at least a little bit longer.
It's kind of crap that I can't let my daughter search for My Little Pony art on this site. Or Sonic the Hedghog. Those are two of her favorite series and she wanted a new Sonic background for her ipad and asked if we could find something on DA.
Let my daughter search for Sonic art on DA? HA! No. Sorry, but No. Soooo much freaky fetish shit. And it's not like I'm against people having their kinks. That's fine. Just put a Fucking Mature Tag on that shit. For fucks sake.
When you post something - I don't care if it's got nudity or not. Ask yourself 'would I want my 7-year old 'cousin / sister / friend's kid' to see this? If the answer is 'No', then it needs a mature tag.
It's better to err on the side of caution.

Star Wars models for DAZ
Images of available Star Wars models for your 3D rendering. Note that these are not downloads but, where possible, download links will be on the pages. Some are hi-res characters and clothing for G8 and G3 models, some are simple objects such as vehicles. I'm hoping this will be a fairly exhaustive look at both free and premium models available for Star Wars fans.

Summer couldn't come sooner
I am so damn tired and very much ready for the summer to come - if only for the reason that I'll get to sleep in later again. Unfortunately, next fall my daughter starts middle school, which begins its day an hour earlier than the elementary school, so I'll be getting up even earlier then. *cries*. Plus, my son is still going to be going to the elementary school, so I get to deal with both of them, but now at different times. Kill me now.
My personal life for the last year and a half has been a roller coaster of utter bullshit and constant instability. I miss things being predictable and stable. I really miss predictable and boring. a
Seriously...
If you're an American and you didn't vote - I hate you.
Seriously. Just... I hate you.
Absurdly low turn-out this year. Pathetic, people. I won't even get into the atrocious results.
Bunch of apathetic ass hats. The freaking lot of you. You lazy shits damn well better get out there in 2 years at the mid-term elections. I don't give a shit if it's not the 'big and important' presidential race. The other shit still counts so damn it, go out and fucking vote next time. Bad shit happens because people sit on their asses and don't do anything.

Life is suffering
Life is an endurance race. How long can you go before it breaks you. Life is defined by how you choose to deal with it when it repeatedly drops you off a cliff into the abyss of misery and bullshit. There are little tiny and oh-so-infrequent sparks of light that show up from time to time in the pitch darkness, and you just have to lie to yourself that the pain is worth it for the good things.
But the truth is that responsibility is the only thing keeping me alive right now. There is nothing good left. Even the sparks of light are dull and dim. There hasn't been a light at the end of the tunnel for a long long time now, and the one that

I get the 'just because they forgot a checkbox, I don't want to punish them' reasoning, but when anyone uploads an image to this site, they are required to manually check either yes or no to mature content. There isn't a way to default it and if a user is checking no on everything, they are being extremely lazy and not caring about the mature tag that they agreed to use as part of terms of service.
