The way I get papers is a little, different from most.
I used to be a professor, so I’ve got a bunch of active subs to an ass load of academic journals, mostly medical and psychological.
That and nepotism. Benefits of living and working on the Beltway. I’ve got buddies in places like the CDC that send me stuff now and again. No classified or illegal stuff, its normally publicly accessible, just hard to track down.
@Zincy
ahh i see, lucky you then. Do you have and research publication organizations that you’d be more willing to put your trust in for that stuff? I know elsevier for me is pretty much free through my uni
So one of the guys I talk to on Discord who had drew me a piece of art that I really loved has silenced me on our DM thread. Why? Because I asked him why he was getting (as he claimed) a lot of hate for the picture he drew for me. I have no idea how the context of the pic he drew would offend others.
Before this, I had asked him if he could draw me another pic for my birthday in which he needed more time for and then says that he doesn’t feel right doing NSFW. I asked why not and that he could always change it to questionable or suggestive. But he chose to cut things off. What the fuck?
Okay so. Forget what i said, my mother called me back. And she told me “It was another person who happened to have the same name and not my actual dad” So. My dad is still very much alive. Which i’m relived for but holy fuck dude, i do not want to have a scare like that again. Fuck sake. My mom jumped the gun

To further detail it, because my mind was still kinda buzzy before. What happened was my mom is FB friends with someone, who’s friends with another person who has the same full name as my father. That other person did pass away, and when she saw a post about it, she thought it was my dad, so she immediately panicked, and called me telling me this. Later on she calls me back and she said she jumped the gun and didn’t read into it more or checked who they were at first.
I have 200+ pages of tag additions, and the vast majority of it is all adding missing “Humanized”, “Anthro” or “EQG” tags to images that get past my blacklist. It’s a long, long history of my frustration…
This is why I need a unanimous confirmation from all my friends and relatives before I could really know if a situation like someone has died, not just trusting on only one individual with no valid proof or evidence of the legitimate occurance of such situations.
