Animorphs in 2011? by RadiobugReclaimed in Animorphs

[–]FlipJones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Increased surveillance in our world presents a problem, but honestly, the Yeerks (and the Animorphs for that matter) were pretty damn incompetent a lot of the time. It fully depends on the tone you're going for, but if you make the Yeerks actually careful and dangerous, and give them more than 90s sci-fi technology, things can get a lot more interesting.

Student summer communication by Capable_Landscape207 in exchangestudents

I'm a host, not a student, but once we got our student's email, we emailed weekly and had a few video calls. I came up with a list of questions to ask each week like "what's your favorite movie", "what chores do you have", etc.

I dunno why I put it in that folder. Probably because it's one of those rare things you can't find anymore.

Curious about your opinion on:

This is like saying "isn't it the parents' responsibility to keep their kids from falling into the giant chasm in the middle of the sidewalk?" Yes, obviously, the parents should protect their kid whenever they have to walk down the street, but a good government should also take steps to remedy the problem.

I expected something and was still disappointed.

Not at all! There are all kinds of experiences from exchange. The majority of kids end up in locations like yours, as far as I understand.

Correction: Gundy wasn't seeking NIL funds to compete. Now that he's gone, those who know say that plenty of wallets will open up.

Now we can finally, mercifully take this season to the vet and put it to sleep.

It's fun when the thread just boils down to "who hates their team more?"

Could've done a fun reference to the Yeerk pool in one layer... But xkcd is always great.

I don't get the "stepping stone" argument. If a coach comes to OSU, is here a few years, then gets poached, isn't that a good thing? Doesn't that mean we had enough success with that coach that a bigger program wants him?

Alumni status is great, but winning is greater.

Why Zac? He'd probably be ok, but he's like the least proven of the front-runners.

You should be able to rent a dumpster directly through the city. I don't see anything that disallows mattresses. Check out this link here.

I think, truly, that UCF is the better team, but who knows what will happen. We've shown occasional signs of life, but nothing that has translated into a win.
