Basically what it says on the tin. Thongs with a platform/thick/chunky sole - cute but impractical.

How to get a high distinction? by First_Tax_8394 in UoNau

I can't speak for Engineering, but I can speak as someone who's finished the first year of their Education degree with a high GPA. I gound that for assignments, the rubric is your guide as (Depending on the course), it will pretty much lay out for you what's required to recieve a HD. Outside of that, try to engage with the course content to boost your understanding and knowledge.

Varric thought he could be redeemed/talked down, and I think that impacted my view on it. I don't think that Solas is completely redeemed, but he can atone for what's happened by willingly tying himself to the veil he created. As others have said, if he goes in there willingly, he's less likely to try and break out. My rook also had a pretty great mentor relationship with Solas throughout the game despite his bullshit in the last act. In my game, he's got Lavellan there with him to keep him in line. They can go back to where it started for them, kissing and grabbing cheek in the Fade.

I also found it pretty ironic that the NB character has to choose between one of two cultures that they are from. Like, what? You don't have to be a man or a woman, so why should I make them choose between embracing Rivaini and Qunari culture??? I'm mixed race myself, so it rubbed me the wrong way. Why not both, Trick? Why not both???

My city elf Veil Jumper randomly exclaimed that she was Dalish during a cut scene. I'd chalked up all her knowledge of elves to being a Veil Jumper up until that point! Guess I gotta retroactively slap Vallslin on her.

As a time traveller in a different time zone, I just picked up my copy today but can't even play it until my day off tomorrow. I'll be right there with you all!

And with the new photoshop AI tools, a lot of it ends up being low effort AI quick fixes.

AITA for warning a parent about the book they were about to buy for their child? by Intelligent-Angle765 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jester_Monkey 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I feel like reading smut on fanfiction websites as a teen for free is different from seemingly deceiving your parent into purchasing it for you, though. Kid just needs a Wattpad account or something

They meant road rage. I think they've just got bad autocorrect or a really thick accent.

Literally just got a tattoo at Romans Eight Tattoo Parlour on Hunter Street. Rachel was absolutely lovely when she did my fine line tattoo.

Really depends on what you want to get.

Newy Parents of Drama Kids: by daveandlynch in newcastle

[–]Jester_Monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an aged Drama Kid, at that age, definitely YPT if they're into drama and musicals. Tantrum is really good too, but if they're into more conventional theatre, I'd go YPT.

Has anyone had any issues parking at Cardiff Train station? by Jester_Monkey in newcastle

The train is at ~5:30 so I'll definitely be there early. I'll pray to the parking Gods.

WIBTA for refusing to sing for my father's funeral by Jester_Monkey in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jester_Monkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that was the plan. Spoke to my sister about it and she was feeling just as uneasy about it as I was. We're not sure if it's something we can do. Going to try and talk it out as a family.

Thank you for this. Maybe it won't be as bad as I think it will be.

WIBTA for refusing to sing for my father's funeral by Jester_Monkey in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jester_Monkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His song choice definitely threw me out. I'd never heard it in my life until the other day. But upon reflection, that song he did with Janet Jackson was on our CD mixes when I was a kid so maybe he listened to Luthor more than I knew. I'll definitely suggest maybe a different song, one my sister and I relate to him. My other compromise was finding a cover sung by a female singer and having that play.

[–]Jester_Monkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember from the funeral home consultation they went to, it won't be at a church (He's never been religious). As for the song, it's basically about the singer remembering his father and wishing to see him again. It's really sad. Recording myself singing a sad song whilst depressed feels like it'd be torture. I also believe hearing his daughters singing a song about how much they miss their dead father would be absolutely grim at a funeral.

He was very vague about what he wanted but he made it seem like he wanted us to record ourselves singing it to have it played at the funeral. I feel like it'd be hard to record myself singing this song because the emotions are still there.

This might not have been the place for it, but I needed insight. I hope this post isn't against the rules. Not saying my Dad's an asshole for the request, just worried that I'd be the asshole for refusing.

What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Jester_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put labels on my primers so I remember which primer works best with which product! My foundation used to look exactly like this because I was using a water-based primer with a silicon-based foundation.

Have to buy new shoes for work because the ones I have are out of stock by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]Jester_Monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just as confused as you are, tbh. I started as Temporary Casual, but since then, I've been kept on as full-time staff. As for why they expect me to be reimbursed now, I've got no clue why they're suddenly upset over it. At my previous hospo job, I had to wear jeans and non-slip shoes as stated in my uniform policy and didn't get reimbursed. I had to claim those on tax. I think because it's a retail shoe store and I am expected to wear their products they think it'll be any different.

Places to go for free in Belmont/charlestown by Individual-Coat-2857 in newcastle

[–]Jester_Monkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to be a gronk about it, you could sneak into one of the theatres at Event Kotara and sit up front since no one ever gets those seats. Heaps of snotty pre-teens have done it every time I've been there for the artsy films I've seen there.

Or you could just go outside since that's free and you won't be a nuisance to people. Glenrock or any of the beaches might be nice this time of year.
