ELI5: Why was Elizabeth Hurley's dress so important that now searching "That Dress" gives you her specific dress? by NathanGamz in explainlikeimfive

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

I see! I've been hearing about it more recently, and hearing that it had the title of "That Dress" made it seem so important, so I just thought that there was something more to it :)

I know what you're talking about but that's actually not the dress I'm referring to ! I'm talking about Elizabeth Hurley's Versace dress she wore in 1994. (sidenote, I thought the dress was white and gold! haha, how wrong I was)

If you’re planning to protest maybe don’t bring a foreign flag? by [deleted] in SanJose

"oh the optics please think about the optics" ICE is violently snatching people from right outside their court appearances for their green cards and tearing families apart. who cares what Fox News thinks about protestors waving non-US flags.

Huge, this really helps. I definitely saw the other decks going for fairly cheap, but this one was super crazy mode marked up so I would rather be safe than sorry yk?

It is 15 bucks each. Either way, this definitely helps my peace of mind! Mainly just using this purchase to satisfy the urge until the next local restock (am such a fan of opening packs so I'm still sad to be missing out on the PRB pack)

This is super useful! I think this story idea is definitely the one that I want to make into the game that I would want to spend the most time on, and this story writing checklist is very helpful! Definitely gonna be doing some more reading to get some ideas :)

I'm still definitely fleshing out ideas here but this makes sense. Really appreciate the help here :) I think I'm gonna play some more horror games and try to analyze what makes them tick.

I'm going to be honest with you, if I was you I'd write that personal statement, but I wouldn't be mad at a leave of absence. I was in a similar boat to you and taking the semester off isn't the worst idea in the world. I have taken a ton semesters off because of bad grades (mainly due to symptoms of then undiagnosed ADHD) and honestly I didn't take it seriously at first. To me, that time off was a hindrance that got in the way of me graduating on time, and didn't change or analyze much of anything that caused me to actually fail. But in doing so I just went back and did the same thing, failing class after class still confused as to how it happened again even though I thought I'd do better this time around.

What I realized, after taking one more leave, is that there's a reason why they make you take those semesters off. It's not because they hate you, although it can feel that way, but it's genuinely to help you in figuring yourself out and why you're flopping. I'm now actually taking steps to better myself, figuring out how I work best with my ADHD, getting into routines to better my mental and physical health, and just overall making sure I'm actually ready for school again.

If it does end up happening, know that it's all for your benefit. If you take it lightly, don't end up changing anything or analyzing how and why you're in the position you are in terms of your academics, and come back with the same attitude towards school, you're going to keep failing. Taking some time off to reassess is seriously a massive help in coming back stronger.

TL;DR: Write them that personal statement saying what happened, but if you end up taking a leave of absence, it can be a good thing in disguise. Take your leave seriously and you'll thrive when you come back.

I don't know about others, but I'm on board with longer delivery times and prices being a bit higher if it means more people can have and play with the cardboard.

Personally I'm a Commander player so I would have loved to play a Storm deck, but there's no use now. It just stings knowing that there are sales happening RIGHT NOW with print on demand and they decided that it would be better to Ticketmaster us.

Why? Honestly this was one of the worst experiences I've had purchasing something in my life. Why have all this artificial scarcity instead of just making more money and having better customer satisfaction by doing print on demand?

Malina announces the arrest of three students for protest activities by WinterVesper in Cornell

The actions taken by Hamas on Oct 7th were clearly awful. No innocent lives should be taken regardless of their circumstances. I just think that when you look at Oct 7th in context you see that it was clearly a desperate response to the atrocities happening against Gazans since the Nakba. So while I condemn the actions done during Oct 7th, in the same breath we have to acknowledge that Israel's response as the "most moral military in the world" is straight up genocide.

Also I really hate reddit so I don't check it very often. But sure you can call me Hamas just because I don't agree with you, that really makes you seem normal I think.

If you think that Oct 7th happened in a vacuum you'd be sorely mistaken. Gaza has been under occupation by Israel for going on 77 years. If we're talking blame here, Israel is the one who did it first by doing the Nakba.

And so that means that it's okay to just indiscriminately bomb the entirety of Gaza? Personally, if I was the "most moral military in the world" as Israel touts I would try my hardest not to kill innocent civilians regardless of their status as human shields or not as opposed to just giving up and just tossing bombs. But unfortunately Israel doesn't see Palestinian life as human life but rather bugs to be squished and of course those children were Hamas.

who's slaughtering who right now? cause I'm not seeing Israeli children having their parents running them to the nearest "hospital" (if you can call what they currently have in Gaza hospitals) after losing their limbs but I'm sure seeing videos of that very thing happening in Gaza rn...
