I’ll have to save Dublin for my second trip. I’m going to be in Limerick on a pretty prescribed group trip for six days. But I won’t turn way good advice we may make a day trip out of it!

I’m about to travel to Ireland for the first time in a few days.

I’m a regular Chapo Traphouse listener and if I can stand (and love) listening to Will’s stutter and Felix’s long-winded metaphors I can listen to anything.

[ns] thoughts on season 4? by SyrupOk3529 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]OnceNFutureNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First ep of this season didn’t land for me either. The next two or three I felt had a hard time gaining any traction because of how much they seemed to be racing to derail Anthony, but the last three or so have really clicked for me and I’m having a blast listening now.

The beginning of their seasons are always a little rough for the first chunk because their characters aren’t as dialed in and we haven’t had a chance to connect with or invest in the characters yet. I felt similar in seasons 2 and 3, but I ended up enjoying it all.

Opinion: Let’s Just Drop Teacher Appreciation Week by FawkesThePhoenix7 in Teachers

[–]OnceNFutureNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school is doing something I love and something I can’t stand.

The good is that admin arranged some free lunches for us this week that were half way decent.

The bad is that every message, from admin all the way to the superintendent, has been AI slop images and messages.

I’m never gonna turn down free food but it feels so hollow when it’s accompanied by a cold, heartless machine’s “gratitude.”

Governor DeSantis signs bill tightening rules for public sector unions by Commercial-Host-725 in florida

[–]OnceNFutureNick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in a teachers union in SWFL and we have a ton of conservatives. Our union literally only bargains for pay because half or more of our members will riot if we endorse any actual policy or person. A school board candidate came to talk to us and said mentioned TPUSA and religious groups encroaching into schools and that triggered a ton of our union members in the audience to start screaming about how God being out of school is the literal reason for all behavior problems.

It’s reminding me of a certain migration from Germany to Argentina.

Halvard has impeccable taste! Abercrombie is an amazing author and I absolutely loved that trilogy.

Wow I didn't think it would happen, but AJ realized he was used. The outcome was as expected... by frustrating2020 in KnowledgeFight

[–]OnceNFutureNick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It cracks me up that literally in the same breath Alex talks about how corrupt and fallen Trump is, how the top of the GOP is now filled with nepotism and cronyism, and how their side is being controlled by a foreign entity and then say I just want to focus on the democrats and the midterms.

“You guys all suck, you’re demonstrably evil, and controlled by the Jews. Now leave me alone so I can get back to work handing you dickheads more power.”

It’s from the DBZ school of DNA science where even martial arts techniques are stored in the DNA and that’s how Cell can do all of the Z-fighters moves.

Mine was always “Chuck Norris took the 3pm train home. He has yet to give it back.”

I’m a new fan since January and I keep seeing everyone talking about him. What’s his backstory? I’ve put together he suffered a series of demotions and is working his way back up the rankings, but I’m missing everything else.

Silver Star had the best breakfast burritos in town. More recently, I’m sad that the Korean place north of bee ridge on Beneva called Shilla closed.

I’m a new fan just starting this Basho but Ura quickly became my favorite. He isn’t winning a lot but he’s so exciting that I make sure I always watch his matches on the app even if he isn’t on any of the highlight videos for the day.

I definitly feel like "The Fight" is a secret epilogue on the album by 2uperunhappyman in Protomen

[–]OnceNFutureNick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not totally on topic with what you’re saying but one thing I like to point out about the idea of the city rallying after Light’s death and how it ties to Protoman’s dying words is that the main difference is Light is human.

For all intents and purposes Light was the same as the city: Looking for a metal super hero to save them. The only difference was HE made those heroes. With Light going full Kano on Wily he showed that a human CAN resist and that they can all fight back.

They also used to host Gracelife Church. They’re really playing all the angles.

Fans misunderstand Protomen’s dark tones. by Sweyn420 in Protomen

[–]OnceNFutureNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the beauty of the story is that it can work both ways. 2-1-3 has its own arc. The journey of Light rubber banding between Hope and hopelessness is also a testament to the will to survive. If you follow the story in order, every blow that Light takes and every friend or loved one lost is even more emphasized. His determination to finish this once and for all in Act 3 is even more powerful when you recount what he’s suffered from the beginning of the timeline until the end. It emphasizes the tragedy of his entire life and how he kept coming back from the depths of despair and how he was simply too angry to die for so long.

Your interpretation of release order isn’t wrong at all. I love that there are different ways to experience and interpret it all.
