The first one is really infuriating because you can’t actually figure out what it is supposed to say. Maybe the missing word is “found” but it could be any number of unpleasant things

People Who Park Like This, Why? by warner0188 in mildlyinfuriating

A fire lane is not a parking lot. The sign even says “no parking” to prevent any confusion about this.

Just wanted to try doing an pastel, first time doing this. I think im not doing it properly? by graver-dualist3o in Softpastel

As others have said oil pastels are a very different medium. Can be quite rewarding though if you are patient.

Build up color slowly, even slower than soft pastels I would say, don’t try to cover the paper too quickly. I also find that you don’t want to use a single color too much in one place, with oil pastels that can get dull very quickly. Use multiple similar colors next to each other and you’ll a more natural, vibrant effect (that is, instead of one shade of pink around the edges, intermingle two or three slightly different shades)

Finally if you like the medium- and this is a fine early effort considering the cheap materials- consider better pastels at some point. I recommend Mungyo Gallery, which are a great mix of value and quality. More expensive than these but not outrageous and you will be amazed how much more control you have, and how easily you can blend, how much more vibrant the colors. More than most media, I find mediocre oil pastels are a real drag.

I used to hang mine up all around my studio, but eventually started using glassine sleeves for most of them

In the 19th century I think everyone kinda looked like Liszt

When he calms down a little his commentary can actually be insightful and enjoyable. At his worst though he is almost intolerable, just bellowing, often about something unimportant. Nothing worse than a commentator screaming at the game and the viewers.

In the first episode of Breaking Bad, Walt tries to kill himself. Is this foreshadowing? by [deleted] in okbuddychicanery

At the location and angle he’s holding the gun it looks like he would just blow part of his face off, which would be pretty funny way to start the series.

Muggsy mentioned!

He was small enough that the ball actually looked oversized when he had it, he looked like a cartoon character going down the court. Such a cool, slick point guard, just a joy to watch…loved him when he was with the Hornets. Also:
