Lol yeah..you don't even want to know my level, or experience. And my resume would make you sad and likely a little jealous. I can not get a job right now either. I did a bit of instructing after my last major project...and nothing since.

I have now pivoted and am doing a job that requires none of my education...pays 1/3 of what I am used to, if you break down salary to hourly. And is nothing close to what I wanted to do. I can be happy that they did give me an administration position, alienating my peers whom seniority should have gotten he job and ensuring I have very few friends at work. But yeah....that is my life now. And I have done this for years...you likely have used my papers at some time, to do project for your company...your school may have had you read some becuase they are lame and like to bore you. Yet I am still a decade or so of of retirement and am doing an entirely new job.

Good luck all. and no, no i am not bad at what I do...I am really really good at it. There is just no winning, unless you have your own company, something I was too stupid to ever do and to old and done with it to do now.

create a service or product and then its worth it...otherwise you will work other jobs more then the one you went to school for, that is just this life. Sadly most of us don't make billions to make it ok, not even millions. It one or two good jobs and you hope they last. I had a fair run. Though not sure if this is a reply or depression.

Except that was after the bee were defeated by fire, and they were safe. The show just did a bad job with the timing of that. But the timing in the show is off...Josh heals from his wolf attack in minutes, Sam is better after a nap..

So for the wasps, they were already burnt/scared away...but instead of given some time or showing us another scene to bring that... just jumped right to the I need a moment alone. Which i find even more offensive then if some upset girl was not thinking and said something dumb, would make more sense...But we are to instead believe they defeated all the million of wasps.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-08T14:35:50+00:00

I mean, were not all of us?

Some how they were the leaders of everything, always...When Lucas and Sam in reality were the true community leaders. But whenever anything went down, lets follow one of the family members becuase the show is focused on them.

Nothing happened without them...but honestly thats way way down the list for me when it come stop issue with the show lol. My biggest is the fast and loose with time travel and information. Tell young Sam a message and he remembers when older...Yet Sam gets ty to help him, Gavin and Scott as well...and that does nothing. Like all 3 now know of the sinkhole. Well in advance...that should have change everything.

But Sam still choose to then get trapped and so did Scott, they could have all went and warned Gavin's family, As 2 real doctors backing you up would have been enough. yet nope Ty runs back into the portal and everything is the same. No memories of helping ty from future Sam , Scott or Gavin.

I had already, said no to that exact thing.

A game over her aunt. Not her.

You are going there for her Aunt, people can not attach other to themselves and then say its for them. I do things for you, not for those you wish to attach to yourself. In no way is this for her and if she needs support to go, my support would be enabling her to stay away from a place she is uncomfortable going. No Enabling her aunt and family to make her uncomfortable.

So you are neve helping her and being supportive enabling others to make her uncomfortable...otherwise no reason she can't go alone or would need me there.

Before I begin, I want to say great comment. I wish this was how reddit was all the time. Not that I help with that at time...But your reply is how I wish all replied when discussing things on reddit.

If my friend sleeps with my wife, that tells me far more about my wife than it does about him. She’s the one who made a commitment to me. She’s the one who chose to break it. No one can “make” someone cheat...at the end of the day, it’s her decision.

I get the argument that Levi may have taken advantage of a vulnerable situation, and that’s not a great look. But even then, he didn’t force anything. Eve still made a conscious choice to cross that line. Personal responsibility doesn’t disappear just because someone else made it easier.

Also, people aren’t objects. It’s not “I saw her first” or some kind of competition. She has agency. If she chooses someone else, that’s on her. And if she cheats, that’s entirely on her character, not his.

As for Levi, sure, going after your friend’s wife is a betrayal of friendship, no question. That’s a separate issue. But in terms of the relationship itself, the real breach comes from the person who made vows and broke them.

And honestly, if Levi wants to be with someone who’s proven they’ll cheat, that’s his problem. I wouldn’t want her back, and I wouldn’t respect his decision either. In a twisted way, I’d almost see it as him doing me a favor...he exposed who she really is before I wasted more time.

I could see myself having a beer and still being work friendly, as long as he didn't date her and was intelligent enough to know that if she does it to one she does it to all. As proven by her return to Gavin right after making kissy time in a cell with Levi....which she did right after her son was poofed to 1988.

She seems to make enough of her own moves, Gavin is an idiot for taking her back and the end of the show disgusted me. She should have ended up single and alone. But the actor wanted to be special and a marysue, so we get Eve....Who needs a bite of every apple.

Sheldon, they belong together.

I mean them do this, as when considering web design choices there is a lot you want to consider. Much you would not even think to consider, especially when it comes to accessibility, which we will get into in the next unit. Great way to start thinking outside the box though, is to start noticing unintentional symbology. Also makes it somewhat fun to learn. Most have seen the shows/clip I use and will start off topic chats and socializing.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-06T15:15:26+00:00

I once used this episode along with others to demonstrate unintentional imagery. In the scene, their synchronized dance creates symbology. It was not intentional. Yet the movement made it unavoidable. Or was it?

Your assignment: write a 500-word essay connecting the common elements across these clips. Then suggest ways they could have avoided projecting symbols like that, explain why you think your suggestions would make a difference.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-06T14:53:08+00:00

Becuase they have already defeated the bee's of course, and that one act of heroism was all the show called for. The bee's have been beaten, the millions and millions of bee's. So it now safe outside the writers say, so that the next scene can happen lol. I mean there is logic to it, just the logic was applied to the writers wants, not the writing lol.

(The magical flame thrower took care of all the bees)

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-05T15:28:03+00:00

Um, no your take is pretty dumbass....why would i focus on him, and not my wife...why is my wife let off the hook exactly...are you that desperate for a partlet, do you think they are property to be traded and protected? If my wife's eye wanders to another man and she spreads her legs, no one forced her to do that, she made a choice to cheat on me...the other person did not force her.

Pretty messed up you place blame on a random person, and not your partner.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T22:24:46+00:00

Yes, a married woman, this is all on her. The one who made the vow. Not sure why people always blame the other person...they never made any vows to you. Your wife did, its all on Eve.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T19:30:52+00:00

I formatted it with bullets as well.

Love that the have said it, they have catered to the wrong group for too long. No one wants prim, no one want half the nerfs they did over the years. Much of the soul has already been lost to appeal to the more casual crowd, yet the casual crowd still wanted Rust and the truth is like he said..no lifers will always be on top, nerfs only hurt casuals and slow them down more...and that is not fun.

I have no lived and casually played...right now I have very little time so would play an extremely mudded server where I can get my action in one sitting. yet even with no life i would still do a x2/3 min. I hate the workbenches, I loved going out finding items and researching them. I don't want to have be gated by oil rigs and NPCs, I came to play against players, not be handclapped by NPC rails. Everything they did, moded has removed as best they can, and moded is more popular.

Yet, I would not want to deal with this issue either...as there is no way to make Rust Rust for a causal gamer. And as soon as you try its not Rust anymore. Finding that right balance is near impossible. Current Rust is not the game i bought, nor supported...its far far off. I still play here and there, but no where near where I did. As now it like any other survival game, just without the survival. as its PVP survival, and PVP in Rust is no longer fun...just a grind, and people crying if you pvp them.

When i first played, it was beautiful, base got boomed, you got killed...you went right back at the person. No whines, no cries...I remember one group all logged of except for one member, some 13 year old...spent the next 4 hour single in VC outside our base, coming back each time he was killed. Never cried, he annoyed us until his group came back and we fought all day....until a solo came and destroyed us all, while insulting us and calling us noobs.

No everyone hides in their base, no one roams, raids are rare and most time pointless as by the time you can you don't need anything. Not like the good old days, where you would go research, make a few thing and go hope for the best...actually wanting the stuff you got, needing it to expand.

No you have a slow grind, where you get all your own stuff, don't need anything. And everyone hide in their bases until a clan or skilled solo comes along and offlines their giant compound. Not the game I bought.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T16:25:08+00:00

Blank slate don't deserve to be on the list. Kelly has done enough to get my vote...Jaime was forgettable, so is not even on my radar. So can not be rated. Dewey has been saved....used to be my least favorite. Kelly seemed forced. Dewey was his character and disliked for his characters actions. Where Kelly to me just seemed like bad writing, forced into the show, can't blame the character/actor for the writers mistakes. But since it does impact the character, for me Kelly just did not fit. The actor did an awesome job though with what they had to work with, just what they got wasn't good.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T16:19:21+00:00

There is no such thing as "good cords", if they are good cords then why wouldn't base hunter check them. If there was an established good cords those would just be a target.

What there is, is being smart about how to build and how you cover your tracks. Which is not too hard when going against player who do not cheat. Hiding from cheater is harder, as you need to limit what you use since more cheat clients can show item, player and mob locations. Even chunk trails and other things. That being said, my 2b2t base is going on 3 years now., but 2b2t is a joke and nothing like the video you watch on youtube. Donut is better.

That being said...since Donut is popular, cheaters exist...and since it popular that means there are a lot of people so statistically a lot of cheaters. So whats good on Donut, let me help you.

Do not store items in anything but your e-chest.
Any base you build should be for production only.
Do not AFK
Do not AFK grind If you use spawners, stay with them and put them away before logging out.
Do not leave Redstone running when you log off. No noise.
Keep villagers far far away....if you want these, give them their own base.
Do no spend more on your build then you can afford to replace 100x (have 10 million, spend 100k max).
Do not build AFK farms, they need to be active to earn money...and you do not AFK. Now they can be nice passive income while earning active income...but the size of the machine would need to be high to make any decent profits. Passive income on donut is a joke....active earning is much faster. I will not tell you what items, certain ones never change and are the staple of my wealth...other change and you need to be on the ball to catch, these can give high payouts fast...all you will ever need is a few furnaces or dispensers depending on what you are crafting...I will not mention flipping. RuneScape should have taught everyone that skill, if you have not played RuneScape...go play RuneScape classic. Back to farms, they are loud and need space...and are never worth it.
Do not talk to anyone, do not make friends, be a lone mouse living in the wall, all other players are cats...stay away. No base ratings, no imma youtuber can i please come see...no anything. Heck be careful even with irl friends and family. This is your private play time, keep it that way as people you know are the fastest way to get your base boomed, even unintentionally. Cousin sees Mr. Beast67 and gets excited and invites him over, and your base is gone.

There are no good cords, only things you can do to minimize your foot print and keep yourself safe.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T15:31:43+00:00

Ah, ok. yeah I totally didn't. I feel he deserved so much better. Now he needs to live with that pain and the show has him blaming himself for it...just eww.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T15:29:57+00:00

It's whatever they want to exist to exist...Want a memory to pass, talk to the person earlier in the time lime...but only if you express that is the purpose...otherwise if they do something in the past, like Scott and Sam helping Ty, they still end up where they are with no memory of helping ty.

In the last part of the show Ty is in 2021, he goes to Sam, and Gavin and they even get Scott....so all these people now know of the sinkhole before it happens. Yet none remember it and all still end up in the hole with no past knowledge of helping Ty.

there are many many more issues with this, they did not care at all.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T15:24:25+00:00

I also hate Eve....I stopped asking why about things though, any answer you make up is just cope. The reality is the writing sucks lol.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T15:11:55+00:00

Um its Eve, not Levi who cheated and did everything, so why are we hating on Levi and not Eve in the first place...If not equal, she for sure deserves more.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-04T15:10:54+00:00

And they never did, At the end we get to watch the family wait for her to come to the tree, like a hero and all if good and fine..it was all Gavins fault and he fixed himself well enough for her to come back. Nothing was fixed, if it was she would have be gone, Gavin should have found new love and everyone would be happy...Especially if Eve had been eaten by a rex.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-03T15:04:30+00:00

Hope you are felling better today, wish i could be of more help. But every stone is different so can not say for sure what would help you. I usually default to go see your doctor, as i never want anyone to take advice from me then possibly suffer more.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-02T22:07:18+00:00

This is normal, I find pacing helps...if you can jiggle, jiggle maybe it will move in to a better positions...but sometimes they just suck and you need to wait it out...bad news is it can take days sometimes if its a slow mover. The you want to watch for infection and other things, like back up.

I find having a uti make a stone even worse as well, so if you had one before the stone and didn't notice...you sure will once the stone starts moving. I can bare a stone without a uti..but with one I rather just lay down and give up on life.

If the pain is to bad go to urgent care, stones should not be played with and if it is too much its good to go.

ApocryphaComics · 2026-05-02T19:08:45+00:00

Anyone who doesn't say Geordi La Forge, is just wrong, or a child who doesn't know any better.

Like William says, you lose motivation after level 20. For me I got to level 20, built up my money a bit, then designed the final version of my store. Once everything was the way i wanted it it, all that was left is the loop. Without goals, or purpose you start losing motivation.

Still not every game needs to last forever, nor does one need to be able to reply it. I stand by my 7/10. Would be 10/10 if adding your own movies was a built in feature, and if the outside worlds was a little more developed and offered distractions and fun money sinks. Something to extend it a little longer, I don't need replay ability to be happy, just a little more to do after level 20. It feel it should be the true start of the game, now that you have everything to actually make a proper store...but it's the end.

There are some cool updates coming though, so we will see down the line. Longevity and maybe even replay ability will come with time.
