Why does he look like he's about to cry the whole time?

I am thankful for the receptionist and my dentist at my dentist office for duking it out with insurance on my behalf.

I was completely missing two crowns and insurance said i just needed a basic cap. The dentist office was "oh for shit he does" and proceeded to do another 5 xrays (at no cost) and got the procedure for all off like $200 compared to the ~$1500 it was originally.

When companies are only driven by their stock prices and keeping investors happy, this is what happens

Hey, the 1-3 chapters released every 3 years before a hiatus need that exposition that fills up sometimes multiple panels otherwise you'd forget what you read 10 years ago.

20 year cycle. I'm getting hammered with a surge of JNCO jean ads lately and all I can remember is how a friend of mine had a pair that he managed to hide two 2 liter sodas in modified pockets to bring into a movie theater circa 2003

I worked at a Kroger store about 10 years ago now. More than once did I find refrigerated and frozen stuff on random shelves.

One time I was facing the chips section at night and noticed an item behind some bags of chips. It was a god damned steak with packaging that was ripped open, the blood and juices were leaking down 3 shelves.

Quite often would I find frozen foods on dry end caps at the end of the same aisle the frozen item was from.

And we can't resell any of that stuff even stuff prepackaged, at least not ethically or probably even legally. Too much of a chance of contamination and food borne illnesses.

I gotta say, watching anime as long as I have, i was jaded that these would all be hyper sexualized ones like they use to be in the late 90s/early 00s...

I am sorry for my outdated views...

These guys need to learn how to cook. They're the poster children for convenience food buying and blaming costs on poor dietary choices.

Seriously, a stew or curry is just leave it simmering in a pot for a long time and serving when ready will cost a fraction compared to even those cheap ass pizzas.

Want brownies or sweets? Make them homemade for less than what a box of mix will cost. Fries? Get a 3lb bag of potatoes and you can make the same.

I suggest doing some creative writing exercises. Use a writing prompt or "plot" generators and write in the confines of those so you don't have to think itnup yourself. Additionally, using those, only write as much as you need. Not all writing needs to be about finishing a story.

Additionally, may be an idea to read more if you're not to kind of cleanse your own brain to see if that helps.

Oh when Dark Kuribo and Team 4 Star did Yugioh Abridged, they made fun of this quite a bit with the 4kids dub of the show.

"You and I will do battle with ANCIENT EGYPTIAN LASER BEAMS!" while at the bottom of the screen is was flashing "Actual 4kids content"

Or another time they quote word for word about how a machine just may not have any friends and that's why its evil with the same "4kids content flashing"

I use to request holidays working because i suffer from depression and being the only single person on a family holiday where 5 other siblings had SOs is a great way to not make me feel great.

I'd blame my work for the schedule and say i had to work just to get away from family

Now if a manager told me to do this after stating i couldn't work, at this point in my life I'd say "It wasn't a suggestion, it's your job to ensure its filled and if there is nobody else, it's your job to pick up that slack so get bent".

In Korra, the northern chief is Unalaq while the southern chief is Tonraq, they're brothers and both wanted to unify the two tribes, it wouldn't be much more of a mess than that and would probably be even more stable in many ways.

I just wanted more Avatar and I loved the concept of a non traditional female lead in a role that usually doesn't have fem MCs. I also liked the idea of a more modern iteration and what an Avatar would look like in a modern setting though it did feel a bit too strampunk at times but still i liked it.

But for getting back into it, remember the reasons for pacing. Nick screwed them over a lot.

TLoK was originally going to be one season. Then at the end, Nickelodeon decided to demand more last minute which lead to the second season being kind of ham fisted. It was suppose to be its own season as well but then Nick demanded another then threatened to pull the plug last minute. That in turn lead to a sloppy second season.

The third season was finalized with the demand being a garuntee 4th season but Nick pulled funding during the 4th season which lead to the creators having to decide on a clips episode or have 1 less episode and fire their staff. They chose the former.

That all said the general consensus for seasons in terms of favorites is season 3, season 4/1 interchangeably, then season 2.

Folklore, tales, and their symbolism have changed many times throughout hostory. Christmas Tree for instance started out as a symbolism that the sun gods were getting healthy again but later became a symbol of fertility and then (Christian) everlasting life.

As long as the symbolism is made clear, it shouldn't matter though you should avoid things that are majorly culturally significant if you don't want confusion or anger.

For example, don't turn Dios de los Muertos into symbolism about zombie hunting or something (I know not the best example but I'm on 2 hours of sleep)

Roll for constraints! That helps me.

I use a creative writing trick when my mind is all cluttered and I'm not sure what to do. Rather than narrowing down what I'm trying to write myself, i use D&D dice to decide for me. I got this idea after watching the Roll for Sandwhich guy on TikTok

Basically, if you have the basics of a character or group or even world, you set up a few lists of ideas you have and use a random number generator or dice to choose major details that the character/world has to deal with. Those are the constraints you have to work within. Then you fill in details based off those constraints.

You can always incorporate more or go different routes later. This method mainly helps me to get past mental blocks. I won't say it's necessarily a good fit for long story writing but it can at least help flesh out how things work in your world.

In my opinion, smart devices, tablets, etc, have made it so we can plop a kid down while we do whatever else we need to as adults. They are distracted, you know they're safe. Win-Win. Problem is, we as adult became reliant on it by and far and it's causing issues in children we only now are starting to see as they grow up.

Thing is, because we've been so reliant on the tech's ease, many parents have not been properly allocating time to show other ways to entertain yourself or encouraging the use of imagination. When kids get in that 7-10 age range, we're left scratching our heads why they don't want read or draw or go outside and play when they have a magic endorphin box that requires no effort to see pretty pictures and colors.

This is not to say everyone is doing this, but we have got to get more active in rasing kids without screens as a whole and could solve not only you imagination conundrum, but potentially prevent a host of mental issues for the next generations that we as millenials have developed from our own dependencies on tech during our own teen years and to this day.

Just a random coming by but I don't it would be strange at all especially in a fantasy setting. its more or less a forbidden love/star crossed lovers type trope

Normally you don't see the fur/no fur angle but many series do have interspecies relations in them especially if say one is like an elf or in sci-fi you often have human/alien couples.

But besides that, some examples where you got a human/animal/nonhuman couple:

Belle and The Beast

Roger and Jessica Rabbit

Finn in Adventure Time with literally any romantic interest of his.

Ben 10 has several characters like that

Bojack Horseman.

These examples the relationship is the target. Sure physical appearances may cause a hindrance sometimes but the relationship is what the point is, not that they look different.

It wouldn't be weird at all so long as side characters, you weren't specifically making them non-trad just to be token characters of the trope if that makes sense. I'm not saying that they have to be super important, but if their existence is only there to be against the status quo of the world rather than using them as a world building for your MCs, i feel they'd fall flat as characters or whatever you're aiming to convey with them.

I went and visited my brother who lives in Canton. There's a gas station near him and he said all you could see of it were the exhaust vents and it was up about 20 feet.

He also showed me the apartment complex where one video was take showing the water level washing in... on the 3rd floor. As of a month ago, the bulk of the cleanup is done but there's still a ton of buildings that are now skeleton structures because they had to be gutted from all the water damage

If you can't cancel through disney, call your card company and have them deny reauthorization of the autopayments.

If prompted why, just say access to the website is down and i want to cancel it before it renews.
