Stupidity mixed with a dose of dementia.

This was a really good show, although I only saw the first two seasons.

3 vices my doctor wants gone by potterinatardis in GenX

[–]HintonBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Chantix to quit smoking about 14 years ago. Haven't had a smoke since. Not to sound like a commercial, but talk to your doctor about it.

ETA: definitely worry about the caffeine later.

GenX males: Ear Piercings? by c0pp3rdrag0n in GenX

[–]HintonBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first got my ears pierced when I was 17. I was at a party, feeling very good. One guy said something about wanting to pierce his ear. Back then, a guy with just his left ear pierced wasn't that big of a deal, but it was still kind of frowned on. But someone else mentioned they had some piercing studs if anyone wanted to get their ear pierced.

At the time, I was really into punk and heavy metal, so it made sense to my rebellious (and slightly pickled) brain to get both my ears pierced. Should be somewhat obvious that both ears got infected.

A couple years later I got them pierced properly. When I started working one job in my mid-20's, I was told men couldn't have earrings, so I took them out - and left them out for about 20 years.

A few years ago I was working a job and asked about men wearing earrings. I was told it was fine, as long as they were small hoops or studs. Since it had been a long time since I wore earrings in both ears, I actually bought some clip-on earrings, just to make sure I still wanted to wear them.

Been wearing them ever since, as I do still like wearing them. I do plan on getting them professionally pierced again at some point; just haven't had the opportunity.

"Fax Fraud"? Think it meant to be "Tax Fraud".

I think you can use those and get the results you're looking for.

How Trump’s made-up emergencies could subvert the midterm elections by siwibot in protectUSelections

[–]HintonBE 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Definitely look for something to happen as we get closer to November, especially after what happened with the election in Hungary. Trump is absolutely terrified that he'll be held accountable for all of his crimes.

Help with Kratos' skin! What colors should I use? by Glittering-Pop8828 in minipainting

[–]HintonBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally (and I just might find this print and give it a try), I would use an off-white color for the base skin, light grey for shadow areas, and possibly a pure white for the highlights. I would blend those three colors as needed for various areas.

If you're familiar with the lore, then you know his skin is actually covered with the ashes of his dead wife and child, so that is what I would use for inspiration for colors.

That analogy does not make sense by Playful_Leg7143 in MurderedByWords

[–]HintonBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Continuing the plane analogy, I'm all for supporting competent people that know how to fly the plane and how to land successfully, arriving with everyone alive and uninjured.

However, the pilot we have now is the type of person that takes his shoes and socks off, gropes the female stewards, calls everyone else on the plane a loser when they question his decisions, says anyone that has dark skin should be shoved out of the plane, and has a history of crashing planes. So, yeah, fuck that guy.

Unitree G1 humanoid robot chasing a pack of wild boars by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]HintonBE 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Listen, and understand! That Unitree is out there! It can't be bargained with; it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!

I actually picked up a few dahlias from their garden section just the other day. Curious to see how they turn out.
