CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Tijn We can use "kop" for a human head, as an insult, without having to specify which animal's brainpowers we associate them with. Didn't realise we alone have that. Nice.

@ericholscher But how do you break the ice for the newcomer? It helps to have a plan: A quick round of short introductions, a recap of what you were discussing ...

@futurebird Another neat trick in live mazes is to have the same crossroads junction repeated. Having people wonder if they are in the same place again.

@futurebird it is very different also for a maze you can see from the top, versus one where you are immersed in. A long corridor with the end visible will be walked through by nobody. But making a bend at the end to lure people on and make them lose time, doesn't make much sense on paper.
Also there is the trick (in immersion again) of always turning left or right, that can be countered by making that choice an endless loop. But I think that is countered by the extra rules you got.

@mansr @FabMusacchio the middle lines should still meet, the outer ones will cross a little bit in an orderly manner. Not the second to the left and the third to the right.

@FabMusacchio Another group of lines I often follow is from the knees, and from the backbone/visible parts of hip, towards the hip joints.
Years of anatomical drawing lessons paying of.

@matthiasott @Wilto and how much access will those websites get to all those other things you also do on your same laptop?

@rjblaskiewicz @lerxst @heidilifeldman the little scene in the top right shows a new judge later on (his son) with the empty skin draped around his chair as a reminder.

@lerxst @rjblaskiewicz @heidilifeldman So many schoolchildren get a trauma from visiting Bruges. I wish I could say that we improved, that torture doesn't happen anymore.

Loved your alt text, with the word invented by your brother.
Edit: TIL that the correct name of this punishment is flaying, and they didn't stop at one side for Sisamnes.

@rjblaskiewicz @lerxst @heidilifeldman So you have seen the painting in Bruges about the unjust judge?

@tinker @ariarhythmic And if you want to do search without AI, there are some hurdles, and the results will contain AI content. So never as good as it once was.

@lizzard @Mikal hoarding only got a bad name in humans
These animals seem to have good reasons

@Mikal hoarding behaviour? https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/collectors-and-hoarders-of-the-animal-world.html

@tef I wasn’t thinking about peasants, but about the protest/fights between craft guilds and whoever installed the clocks and control system.

@tef if I read the accounts right, people were not friendly towards the idea of going from time boss to time slave. From "I'll produce exactly how much I need in my own time" to "thou shalt go on working till the bell tolls, and after the second bell, all lights out"
