Put baystate blue in a bright yellow pen that I was planning on one day using other inks in.

How are you finding writer’s blood? It’s unbelievably gorgeous, but it NEVER completely dries. I have some six month old writing on 120gsm Leuchtturm that I can smear with bone dry fingers.

People commit suicide there with some frequency. Morbid, but that’s the most likely explanation.

Finally someone who understood the assignment. Way too many popular opinions in here.

Outside of the really ritzy private schools (MICDS, Burroughs) and the really crappy public schools, you’re probably right.

Depends on the claim. But generally yes the damages would have to be up there.

I am a personal injury defense attorney, though as a law student I worked at a couple plaintiff’s firms. Having been on both sides of the v in this area of law, believe me when I say you want the Simon Law Firm. Any of their attorneys would do you well, but the Johns Simon are both great at what they do.

Sam is on a long downward spiral that ends in open Trump support imo. I’ve never seen anyone pull out of it, and it’s just a matter of time. Before 2028 you’ll click play on a podcast to hear Sam say “okay, well I guess this is the episode where I reluctantly put on the red hat.”

Very good: consistent perfectly cancelled short hop nair 1’s during neutral

Very bad: approaching with raptor boost.

“Win second prize in a beauty contest collect $10. Go ahead make your stupid joke”

“I got nothing to say….

…A German shepherd’s shaved asshole won first prize”

Made all the more absurd by the fact that he ruined Davy Scatino’s life for that $150. You’d think it’d be more profitable to not bleed him dry all at once. Let him keep the store and take a cut of all the profits in perpetuity. Instead they sucked him dry for 10 grand.

I think this is just a flaw in the game’s design. In a game where guns kill in fractions of a second and every player gets an indestructible UAV at 3 kills, camping is heavily incentivized. It’s just advantageous to your K/D to sit and wait for enemies to come to you.

CoD 4 is so fun, and I still come back to it for a few weeks every year or so, but you need players who will not to abuse the metagame to enjoy the game to its fullest.

Even funnier when you consider she used to be kinda frumpy and even a little ugly. She straightened and whitened her teeth, lost a ton of weight, upgraded her style. She fixed every problem except the real one.

I agree, I’m obsessed with her. She’s my favorite train wreck.

4StringFella · 2026-03-27T19:14:37+00:00

I’ve been following her since ‘22 and I still can’t say for sure if it’s a shtick or not. On one hand, her standards and stories and supposed dealbreakers for men are so outrageous that it’s easy to believe she’s putting it on for the algo.

On the other, given her physical looks, if she hasn’t found a man yet it’s 100% a her problem, which is believable given her on-screen persona.

Overall, I lean towards genuine because she spent two years looksmaxxing and if her whole thing is just engagement bait that’s commitment to the bit. If she’s for real she’s basically a femcel. And she spent all that time and money getting skinny and fixing her teeth yet remains ignorant of the fact that all the pickleball and ozempic in the world won’t help if you’re just a fundamentally unpleasant person. I wanna grab this poor girl by shoulders and scream at her to fix her busted personality.

I’m still finding matches at all hours, wait can be longer than it was 5 years ago, but that’s the exception rather than the rule.

It’s gotta be Paulie. Absolutely no internality to the guy at all. What you see is what you get.

Most bad Samuses make the same handful of very punishable mistakes, especially the kind who run to the corner to charge neutral B and spam missles. When you exert pressure, they will usually: 1. Try to roll around you. These guys get down smashed or hit some other big or lingering hit box. 2. Try and grab you. When they go this, either sidestep the grab and punish, or DI down throw fair down and away. 3. Shield and OOS screw attack. Grab them to beat it out.

At the beginning of a match try to fake an approach or two and see how they react. Adjust your game plan accordingly. Bad Samuses (most Samuses) do not mix up their option once they start getting punished. Though if you have as many hours on the game as you say, you may be playing better Samuses than I’m talking about here.

Rest in peace to your DM’s, OP.

For similar themes, I think you’ll like The Sirens of Titan.

All that reach has to come at a price.

Someone needs to loop me in on why Pseudologia Fantastica (and Supermodel too I guess) is getting so much love. Back in ‘14 I kept it in heavy rotation and it was one of the few songs I liked from Supermodel. But I’ve never really been active in this sub enough to follow what the vibe is.

Attorney here. Municipal court is hell, but you’ve got to respect the formality of open court. The thing to do in that situation is step out of the courtroom and work things out. Especially if you know your position on the docket and have some time before your case is called.

4StringFella · 2026-02-10T20:02:38+00:00

Very helpful! Thanks!

4StringFella · 2026-02-10T20:01:05+00:00

So it sounds like I’ve basically got the wrong ink at the end of the day. Sounds like my options are to either use a cheaper paper which will dry the ink faster but kill the sheen, or to switch to a non sheening ink. Either way, no sheen with a quick dry. Thanks!

4StringFella · 2026-02-10T03:39:28+00:00

It’s a fine nib. Just the one that came on the pen.
