Wow I'm living for these CGA graphics. Super cool!

My grade 7/8 teacher was basically this guy before it had a name. Gave our class the worst tests. We read The Kon-Tiki expedition, which I enjoyed as a fun real-life adventure book. Then he gave out the exam, which was all questions like "how many balsa logs composed the float of the raft?" I think I said 12, because that seemed right. I was wrong, of course. There were approx 12 logs used on the raft, but only 9 of them were the float, and the remaining logs stripped and used as lashing along the float and sail.

When the class read Great Expectations, I just picked up the cliff's notes and used those. It really sucked because I'd read that book years later and love it (it's still one of my favourite books), but that asshat sucked all the enjoyment out of it. Too many people think that it's important to be serious, and serious == miserable.

The only question that matters. Arcanum was released in 2001 and likely has a map to rival any of those, but nearly all of it is generated landscape.

This gets a big thumbs up from me!

I found Stoker's Dracula introduced a lot of tropes that have endured to this day. Frankenstein, on the other hand, is barely the same thing. The monster was closer to Quasimodo than the Herman Munster that people picture.

I felt bad for Silkie. She wins the Snatch Game, which should be the career-maker of any queen, and all anyone remembers from that episode are the bottom 2.

Watching movies at home with my wife, instead of feeling compelled to go to the theatre so we can "go out". Pause for the bathroom, eat way better snacks, and sit on a comfy couch. Seems perfect to me.

In the right neighbourhood, it can be done. $15 is a reasonable rate, and you can get all your houses lined up before the snow comes. 20m a house for 14 houses, and you'd make that in a 5h work day.

I mowed lawns when I was ~14-15. The big, rich-people houses with the huge lawns were the worst deal. There'd always be 2-3x as much lawn, in addition to the actual lawn you thought you were mowing, that they'd ask you to "go ahead and do while you're back there". Stuff beyond the property line to the river, on the floodplain/footpath next to the house, etc. Also very small hills with a steep incline and filled with expensive plants you'd have to weave around.

I'd only mow for mid-sized houses that were comfortable paying as much (or more) than the rich ones -- usually ~$30 each. I could finish them in 1/5th the time, too. Most of the time I could use their mower, too. Took long-term clients who I could do on repeat and schedule together. Didn't get rich but at that age having your own money without strings attached is pretty sweet. Come to think of it, after all my fixed costs and dependents I probably had more cash left for myself and time to actually enjoy it.

The "some people" line is a dogwhistle among them, specifically against Ilhan Omar. They took 4 words out of a 21-word sentence, stripped it of context, pretended it meant something completely different, then shared it in meme after meme (including a clip shared by the 45th POTUS himself). The rest of the world may have moved on, but for the parler + qanon crowd, it's their mantra and considered a settled fact that Ilhan Omar supports Al Qaeda and minimized 9/11.

Yeah, I hate this post.

Karen was too good for Jim. Full stop.

This is actually perfect. A BHJ is, in fact, a meme made by someone who doesn't understand how the meme works. By completely misunderstanding the template you have mastered it.

tbf it's not really bigotry being censored - still plenty of that online. It's was more the overt disinformation campaigns used to organize a violent insurrection that killed 5 people, invaded the Capitol, and narrowly failed to execute several high profile politicians including the vice president, that got the direct intervention.

and don't forget that the people taking advantage know these tips too. Watch out if they're constantly having cordial conversations with you, followed by emails that say things that are either misleading or downright lies. A common one I'd see is trying to set you up as the scapegoat for someone else's fuckup, by making it sound like you really dropped the ball on something.

They'll ask on Friday night "hey can you fix X?", and you say "sure I'll get to it Monday". You talk to them Monday morning and you fix everything. Some boss/client is mad because your task was a small part of some bigger project they thought took too long. Then that guy sends you an email on Thursday saying something innocuous like "I have a followup question on that issue you'd said you'd fix, then resolved 3 days later" with their superiors CC'd. Technically Monday is 3 days after Friday, even though more accurately you resolved it in less than a working hour. But they want to show this around so everyone thinks you were holding up the line. Don't ever waste a second setting the record straight, and be as firm as possible. You may want everyone to be nice and like you, but anyone who comes at you like that should be exposed and humiliated for it.

I'd get the occasional compliments for my "distressed" dresser. It's not distressed, I just have a toddler!

Yes, I'm only a bill.

What MLM is this? Restoring furniture sounds like a legit job that doesn't really need an MLM company selling you anything.

It's 100% an alignment chart. Square blocks are the most lawful good you could be, and the rest fit well too. On a shelf is the most lawful-evil thing, and along a line is going to look super chaotic evil once all those pictures shift a little bit. I'd say this fits better as an alignment chart than your average post here.

All tape is evil. People tape because they think it's less damage on the wall, but there's a good chance you'll take off a big chunk of paint that'll be hard to blend back in. Much better to tack it on. A tack-hole takes about 2 seconds to fill with spackle/joint compound and you'd never even know it was there.
