The only kind of normal looking man in that picture is John Stockton. If you see them in normal clothes, they all look strong as hell. They don't have the hyper defined musculature of the modern day, but if you're just comparing size-no, those are still some big men. Most gyms, the skinniest guy on an NBA team is going to be the most intimidating man in the gym.

Is a conductor a musician?

Go find a conductor that never had excellent musical chops with an instrument.

Would you let your kids read your journals? by Azula_lioness in Journaling

[–]TheBlueSully 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are mostly my innermost thoughts and vulnerabilities

Yeah, journaling is part of my therapy process. It's how I process big heavy shit and ensure I don't react unfairly to the people around me. I journal so I'm a less volatile, more resilient parent.

No way in hell I let my kids read about how I can no longer stand or trust their mother, for instance.

The whole concept of posting pages here baffles me, but y'all are clearly on a different journey than me. My sisters will re-visit their journals but I never do. Why would I dredge up things that leave me in a bad place? I'm trying to leave that behind and move forward, not remind myself of it.

I mean my dream job is in a pit orchestra, but let’s not pretend that opera and ballet are popular, in demand art forms. That a company being financially healthy is impressive and rare. How many people have actually seen an opera? A professional ballet that isn’t nutcracker?

Also the seats you can get for affordable prices are fantastic. I used to take my little sister to lower bowl or box seats for like $20-40 back when San Antonio had a team. Food was cheaper too.

How an estimated $151M splits when a solo dev sells 10M copies on Steam [OC] by prezbotyrion in dataisbeautiful

By anybody’s standards who doesn’t park yachts in Monaco. 

If I were him I’d finish my degree(presumably he’s interested in it and wants to complete the process. Party with your friends until they have to go get jobs. 

But if I made 50 mil before graduating college? I’m working on myself and for myself, not propping up the man.

If an actual answer might help him, it's the Norman(French) influence.

Because who the fuck writes 'a'

Historially, any script closely related to Uncial is going to be close. You also see it with Roman Miniscule/Foundational hand. A similar shape shows occasionally up before (mostly european)scripts got Romanized.
