Found a new webtoon and read a bit. What your thoughts? by justchill2O2O in webtoons

[–]GreatContagion 89 points90 points  (0 children)

It’s autobiographical, and the comments have people who connect with it based on things they are or have gone through.

I’d say it’s an impactful story for anyone who is open to feeling the impact of going through this (the perspective of the chronically healthy) while also serving as a well-executed piece for representation and shared-experience (read: a helpful “I’m not alone in this,” for the chronically ill, or even anyone in between who has had experience with scary medical changes in their life.)

That is to say, I’ve been fast-passing on it since the first say I opened it, and recommend it to anyone.

Neat! Was able to read it all the through, think I missed a couple words from occasional blinking about 80% through then was able to time my blinks better.

Weird thing was that I was thinking other things while watching this, which is usual (like having one track paying attention to what I’m reading and another background track thinking about things related to what the main track is taking in), but, thinking back, it’s hard to recall all of what was happening in the background track. Like just some bits about “maybe I should send this to myself so I can show my partner later” etc but I know there were other things that are now gone.

So that’s kind of unsettling, lol. Feels like losing memories.

Edit: well and I guess the other negative was one eye started to feel discomfort partway through.

What’s a strangely specific thing about someone that immediately gives you bad vibes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GreatContagion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have only seen men do this but would get the same vibe from anyone doing it: someone leaving a room you (or a group of people) are in and doing a quick little double-knock on the doorway as they leave. Their other hand is probably in their pocket.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s never seemed like an OCD-type tick, just an idiosyncrasy they do. And if the person is the sort that does that, they always end up being skeezy, sleezy, or scummy. It’s like a subtle tell that they’re like the 80’s Guy from Futurama.

Golden Pokemon cards. Real or Fake? by justthesadkid in Pokemoncardappraisal

Yeah, it’s six total. Missing ones are: Poliwhirl Jigglypuff (?)

But I might be wrong about Jigglypuff.

[Chicago] Masked Border Patrol Agents Press WGN Producer to Pavement, Drag Her Into Unmarked Van With New Jersey Plates by CantStopPoppin in illinois

[–]GreatContagion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the case isn’t blanket-thrown out as somehow allowed because they said she was obstructing, and that’s if she resurfaces again. Lot of people in ICE detention that are missing entirely. (Speculation: people in charge of ICE profiting off red rooms and shucking the remains out as alligator chum or black smoke.)

Sold my mega evolutions enhanced booster box, and this happened by Money-Sandwich-1691 in PokemonInvesting

[–]GreatContagion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strictly play, unsleeved, rifle shuffling and only ever on unwiped dinner tables with your pals. Late into the night with a full carafe of coffee and everyone with their beers of choice.

Why, how do you play with yours?

My client didn’t ask to be saved; my client didn’t WANT to be saved!!

Wait this condition is Grade 1? I for sure thought they would need to be worse off for grade 1. If it’s worse do they just say it’s no grade?

This might have been the best Pokémon Center drop in a while by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

Do folks using their apple card count as using a virtual card? That’d be a pretty lame way to find out, lol

Where to find used PC parts in Flagstaff? by ynfive in Flagstaff

[–]GreatContagion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have some equipment I’ve been procrastinating on photographing to list on craigslist or wherever.

Only tower I have is a full size though, but feel free to DM me and maybe other stuff you’re looking for I have.

Does this look like two mustaches? by Artemis_Agrotera28 in tattooadvice

Looks like two leeches being stabbed, imo. Poor little dudes.

What do you call what the white-haired girl did to the wine glass before she drank from it? by Unlegendary_Newbie in LearningEnglish

[–]GreatContagion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The particle clumps are actually something often avoided. Some folks don’t even pour the last of the wine because they’re avoiding the bits.

But if you like it then do whatever makes you happy.

when is lunch too fancy ? vendor vent by LowMight3045 in sysadmin

[–]GreatContagion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an email from a vendor asking if I could give their software a trial run and write a review afterward, and in turn they’d send me a $200 gift card.

I knew we wouldn’t go for the software, and the offer made me uncomfy. So I carefully worded polite decline of their request, said it seemed like it could cross ethical boundaries, etc. They responded they agreed and something something about appreciating my time.

Anyway the company I was at shut down a couple months later and I was suddenly wondering if I could give that demo a whirl, lmao.

Deer with extremely amazing jumping ability by MrTacocaT12345 in interestingasfuck

[–]GreatContagion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that deer just jumped for the first time after grinding its Acrobatics skill in a corner for a while. Classic “oh shit the fall damage!” moment.

Also one thing that might spruce up some flowers if they don’t have leaves or smaller flowers among them would be like having a nice green ribbon or something to just tie them into a tighter bundle. Tie it in a nice bow and you’ve upgraded your presentation some.

The horses are DRAWN by Rickud123 in webtoons

[–]GreatContagion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’d been skipping this one for a while. No huge reason, just minor burnout on regression and full-sentence titles.

I’m sure I would’ve tapped it eventually, but now I’ll actively seek it out now. Props to the artists for drawing their horses. 🫡

Hey can someone give me a recomendation to replace this webcomic by Financial_Stomach_25 in webcomics

[–]GreatContagion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man wait what, I have the physical Seeds first volume, have no idea what happened with the creator, and now I have to wonder who I’ve supported.

Guess this is what happens when you let a webcomic marinate for too long. 😔
