GUARDIAN MONSTERS for Protection and Inspiration
This sweet Guardian Monster is called Cosgrove Nostrillikus.
PERSONALITY: Curious and friendly, his favorite occupation is discovery through the senses of smell and taste which provide endless hours of learning and entertainment. His easy going nature is often mistaken for simple or limited thinking, but do not be fooled. He is very intelligent and savvy.

POTENTIAL ISSUES: He has a fondness for the colors orange or yellow and feels compelled to taste them even when they are clearly NOT sources of food. This may cause distress, perhaps even hostility, in those who have not been forewarned, especially if you happen to be wearing these colors. Unfortunately his sensitive nose, which is especially vulnerable to the acrid smells of anger, may cause him to break into a spell of violent sneezing. This is his body’s natural response to expel the offensive odor. Please do not take it personally.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Do not wear clothing or jewelry in shades of orange or yellow during the initial introduction unless you enjoy being licked. He does not wish to offend you but may not be able to stop himself. Find a quiet room of neutral color, and then offer him a plate of carrot sticks and yellow jelly beans. That will satisfy his craving and allow him to focus on your issues. Try and relax. He really is there to help.

An oddly shaped creature, drawn in graphite and colored pencil, sits draped upon a square. Its body is made up of colorful scales, ending in a slinky tale. Atop its large green head, two curly striped horns. Its large friendly eyes and fanged smiling mouth invite you over for a lick. In the meantime, it is happily slurping the side of its favorite letter C.

What the heck is a Guardian Monster?
I am so glad you asked. Perhaps you've heard of guardian angels -- those lovely, winged beings who guide and protect you? Well, when the job requires a specialized "monster point of view", these eager fellows step up!

GRUMPTINKUS GRIPPER
PERSONALITY: Loyal and protective, she is a proud member of the Elite Guardian Monster Patrol. Once you get past her “challenging” appearance, you will discover a devoted and steadfast friend.

POTENTIAL ISSUES: A well-developed stubborn streak and unnerving growl. She has also, on occasion, displayed moments of extreme grumpiness. This is to be expected and accepted as an inherent part of her nature. Do not be offended or hold this against her. Just leave her alone to grump it out by herself. She will truly appreciate your understanding.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Please be aware that she chooses whom she will assist or not. She selects her friends very carefully and will join you only if she considers you worthy. Once again, please do not be offended. She has extremely high standards and most who initially seek her friendship leave disappointed. Simply try again at a later date. (Author’s note: It took me three tries before she finally found me acceptable enough to assist. And we had already been friends for several months!! How’s that for picky!)

Drawn in graphite and colored pencil, a vivid orange creature with swirls of blue, glare at the viewer with glowing eyes. A large nose, fanged mouth, long ape-like arms, extremely stumpy legs, spiky body and ears complete the picture -- which, by most accounts, is not exactly pleasant. Balanced upon its seriously grumpy head is the letter G -- which it guards with ferocity. It is a monster after all.

Guardian Monster
This sleepy Guardian Monster is called Icckelby Slumberton.
Personality: A great believer in the power of dreams, he displays a sweet, mild-mannered disposition when awake, which unfortunately, isn’t often.

Potential Issues: He has a tendency to nod off during conversations lasting more than ten minutes. He may also spend countless hours dreaming about eating instead of actually eating, so when he wakes up he is usually extremely hungry. Also, if he falls asleep in the sun, the tips of his tail may sprout flowers.

Rules of Etiquette: Approach this monster quietly before attempting contact. When ready, gently whisper “hello” and “please wake up” into his ear. No one likes to be rudely shaken or shouted into consciousness and he is no exception. Within a few minutes of soft verbal nudges his eyes should open. Expect a yawn of epic proportions. Have lots of whipped cream or bowls of puffed rice on hand as he will undoubtedly be starving.

GUARDIAN MONSTER ALPHABET POSTER
What the heck is a Guardian Monster?
I am so glad you asked. Perhaps you've heard of guardian angels -- those lovely, winged beings who guide and protect you? Well, when the job requires a specialized "monster point of view", these eager fellows step up! They may not be as attractive as their more famous counterparts, but they are very loyal and work hard on your behalf. Most of the time. They do have a wee tendency to get their feelings hurt if they are not feeling appreciated. And yes, they have been known to play a practical joke now and again, just to amuse themselves, BUT, for the most part, they are quite reliable and will be there when you need them.

A word of caution: I have not yet met any guardian monster whom one might call pretty. They are not. In fact some can be downright ugly. Depending on their underlying natures and current mood, they might also appear grouchy, whiney, bad-tempered or exhibit any number of not-so-nice personalities. That is not their fault -- they were born that way. So, if you are looking for pretty, fairy-like, always-smiling, ever-friendly types of beings, this is most definitely not the poster for you. These fellows, despite their diminutive stature, mean business. They were built to handle stress, anger, fear, all kinds of unpleasant feelings, and they look like it!

Set against a golden graduated background, a series of stacked blocks, with a strange assortment of monsters standing or sitting on them. Some are sleeping, some are glaring, most are smiling (in a monster kind of way). Each is holding his/her favorite letter of the alphabet.

@baldur “The only issue I am facing as a professional #art director in games is that I just want them to leave me and my art teams alone so we can make cool art. There is *no problem to be solved here*”.

I don’t think the Art director is looking at this from a business angle. The problem being solved is to reduce the high cost #WhiteCollar workforce and still make a profit.

This has been happening since 2022 when #ChristopherHohn decided SE/SWE cost to much for #Alphabet (#google) and all the SW companies followed.

Why?

Later that year #OpenAI released #ChatGPT.

Here is that article: #programmers / #tech / #software / #AI <forbes.com/sites/jonathanponci>

Forbes · Billionaire Hedge Fund Investor Urges Alphabet To Cut Costs: ‘No Justification’ For Salaries That Are ‘Too High’By Jonathan Ponciano

"Federal authorities revoked visas of dozens of international students at California schools this week, part of a widening crackdown against international students and visa holders by the Trump administration":

If this policy had begun years ago, Sergey Brin would have been removed from the United States before he created a company he named Google. He famously said: "Don't be evil" which is advice that Donald Trump ignored. #Alphabet #tech #immigration #politics

Politics had totally changed, instead of having politicians, you only had puppets for the big tech companies: all those puppets did, was make sure that it's companies kept getting more financially powerful, and kept getting even more invasive, as if that were even possible

I mean they were a literally up your digestive track already, all the way to your spinkster.

Don't let me talk about flying; it takes you literally 72 hours to book a ticke; 8 hours a day you have to follow those dreadful procedures of which 90% is just ads, to finally get the seat booked with six screens pointed at you only bombarding you with advertisements.

Trains were even worse; Walls of screens, almost no place to sit, let alone sit comfortably.
In busses they left you alone, but what they did, is make the bus almost totally transparent and make sure that all the of the massive screens at the buildings were pointing at you, giving out all your personal information for everyone else to see, including your menstrual cycle, the size of your prostate, and everything else that's supposed to be medically sealed, just to show you walls and walls of advertisements regarding those medical status parameters.

And do not think that when you're finally at home sleeping, away from your dreadful job, and asleep that you sleep cycle was normal
Remember those devices that implanted in you at Birth? Those devices injected at advertisements in your dreams making your sleep horrific and tiring.

Suicide rates were skyrocketing; it was normal to lose a friend every month who succumbed to suicide because of the horrific carpet bombing advertisements raids. There were more psychiatrists than regular physicians. Funeral parlors were the only places where business was booming for the private sector, owned by fairly regular people.

Mercedes-Benz almost exclusively made funeral cars because that's what's sold the most and the best and asked for the most, by those who could still afford cars

I've just woken up from a horrific IT Nightmare.

Only commercial companies were providing services on the internet, Open Source did not exist, Linus Torvalds was never born, Netscape has never come into fruition.

Every website you went to you have to go through 12 pages of advertisements bombarding you with all the flashes all the sounds and even even HTML5 did not exist everything was Flash!

There are only two browsers available Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Browser extensions were non-existent; everybody went on the internet like a drone and endured the horrific bombardment of advertisements like carpet bombs falling on your mind, as if you were in Vietnam, getting bombarded by The Enemy Flying B-52 fortresses.

All the Services constantly changed their end-user license agreement, your mobile devices had eight cameras pointed at you and none to the outside world. Those devices also had seven microphones of which the worst was used for you to talk into with your people and Friends, the six others were used to listen to you environment and sent everything outside.

Tracking devices were planted in your body at Birth, you are constantly itching because of all those devices in your system, giving you skin irritation and making your complexion like that of sandpaper.

Even going outside in your garden was horrific, micro drones were constantly following you, listening and looking at everything you do, even if you don't have any mobile devices on you.

Stores were even worse, everything you bought had tracking and tracing, even The Food you ate had tracking, and traces were going to your digestive track all the way to the toilet.

And while you were sitting there you had to endure advertisements for every time you use the toilet.

There were 12 financially Rich families on the planet everyone else was economic slave.

All religions were converted to advertisement bombardment Systems and to subjugation of people to Ads

I am testing alternatives to Google Maps (or Apple Maps) at the moment.

To be honest, the usability of the open source software available is rather horrible, so I heard from an old friend: Here WeGo. Old friend, because it was #nokia here long ago.

I downloaded the app for my #iphone and registered on the webpage for my browser.

The usability is very good! One time, the app hang up on me but overall this could become my daily driver
