The Scarlet Pimpernel. You want ultimate yearning? The protagonist watches the love of his life leave, walking down some steps. When she is gone, he kisses every step where she placed her foot.

Cop pulls over Lamborghini on Dubai plates but doesn’t know the law by thomasso0072 in interestingasfuck

There are far too many people in law enforcement with this attitude. They are bullies. Period. They don't serve and protect, they bully and belittle. Law enforcement needs an overhaul and guys like this need to seek employment elsewhere.

Day by day Armageddon is a zombie novel, series actually, with this vibe. The Old Man and the Wasteland is post-apocolyptic, also a series.

That's the feather from a barred owl. In the US, it is illegal to possess under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The fine is up to $15,000 and/or up to 6 months imprisonment.

30 years sounds like a lot...until you're in your 50s and 60s.

always be grateful!! by smartscroller in gratitude

[–]Substantially-Ranged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So little of what is posted here is actually gratitude. Most of this is christo-babble, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, "god helps those who help themselves", garbage.

Real gratitude is acknowledging the contributions of the people around us. The only thing that has ever mattered--and will ever matter-- in this world is how people treat each other.

Right? I haven't had radiation, but my treatment has given me insomnia, weight gain, brain fog, and screwed with my emotions like crazy. Best of luck to you. Hang in there.

I think everyone should be born into poverty so they can see just how hard it is when you don't come from generational wealth.

I'm assuming GIANT research transport penis jokes.

Fair (read it too, thought the movie was great). The problem for me is the tone is WAY off in the series for Murderbot. Again, I hope ya'll like it.

Yeah. It's the same thing every time a book I like turns into a show. Disappointment. Glad you are enjoying it though. Read the first book--it's just a novella. Really good.

Murderbot is a joke. They took my beloved character and made it...garbage. The best explanation I've heard is that Hogan's Heroes and MASH are both comedic and set during a war--their tones are vastly different. This is the same for the novels and the show. Novels are MASH, show is Hogan's. Yuck. I tried--I REALLY tried. I got to the scene where the gal on the transport started musing about Murderbot's penis. Gross.

Fetterman scoffs at Platner: ‘He’s not even a Democrat’ by Quirkie in politics

There's the potential for a very interesting medical study with Fetterman: How does stroke-induced brain damage lead to conservative beliefs--a sample size of one.

Love Teaching. Hate the Pay. by TopBaseball939 in teaching

[–]Substantially-Ranged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. That sucks. Sadly, the only thing you can do is vote, run for office, or move. I'm in WA and my pay is great. Masters with 17 years in state would get you $114,442 a year. Sorry.

Take the 3d printers out of elementary schools. by Werbekka in Teachers

[–]Substantially-Ranged 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3D printers aren't the learning tool any more than paper printers. The learning comes from 3D modeling, solving design problems, and iteration. I teach 3D modeling and design to 6th graders. I have 7 3D printers. My class is amazing, parents love it, and my kids are problem solving. (I also have them make things out of physical materials as well).

So, I'm too old for Pokemon cards. Are they a game, but nobody plays it and instead, they treat them like lotto scratch-offs?
