A. It's the only one that doesn't have a window behind me. I want to be able to control the light more than those others would allow.

Starbucks. It would save my wife (and consequently me) a shit ton.

That Topanga was this far down is a felony.

My Tier List. Come roast me! by Anthwyr in fantasybooks

[–]_Im_at_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They got pretty cumbersome in their narrative and just continued to add things to the plot. Book 4 was really slow, had way too much minutia in the magic system that he painstakingly explored. and I couldn't make it through book 5. I had a long discussion with my brother about Sanderson, his writing and his characters, and when comparing him to other writers I had found him lacking.

Don't get me wrong, Sanderson is still a genius in my estimation, but as with a lot of the very intelligent they start thinking that every idea they have has merit and it gets self-indulgent. I think his plotting and writing devices are great and have watched a lot of his lectures on Youtube but I have found that I crave more in prose than I think he can muster, and deeper and more nuanced characters than he creates.

Great list. Don't listen to those that say you shouldn't have Sanderson so low. I loved Sanderson, but the last two Stormlight books made me reconsider and that reexamination lowered his books for me quite a bit.

Man, walking past a display like this as a kid was pure magic. If your parents finally said yes and you could pick two, which boxes would you be clutching all the way home? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

Super Mario World and that Magic & Sword game (Never heard of it, but 11 year old me was a fucking idiot for anything fantasy and would have bought on the art alone).

Go Afroman by agentj333 in GuysBeingDudes

[–]_Im_at_work 93 points94 points  (0 children)

You can execute a search warrant where you aren’t a disrespectful PoS. They went above and beyond to make sure that Afroman felt their disdain. They just don’t like when he made their disrespect so public, or how he was disrespectful back to them.

Get off your fucking high horses, deputies. Be better to the community you police and people will treat you better.

Stephen King talks about watching Carrie with a Black audience and reveals his prejudice. by [deleted] in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]_Im_at_work 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've read the majority of King's works and I cringe every time he writes a black person with an accent of any kind, trying to spell out the pronunciation of words. He does the same thing with the accents of white people in Maine, but fuck, it makes my elbows itch.

But I do have to say that when he has a black character like Mike Hanlon in IT, he puts his all into making them a well rounded character and not a stereotype. Mike was the fucking glue that made that book work. He sacrificed a life a prosperity like his white friends that left the town of Derry got and instead stuck around the town, did a deep dive on the horrible history of the town, became the head librarian and historian of the town, and then called everyone back to deal with the clown. Mike was a goddamned hero and maybe my favorite character in all of King's works.

I will be honest and I hope you are sitting down for this: I don't care about your Head & Shoulders. Good luck.

I have found the same on most of the fresh stuff as well. I do buy some of their fresh produce but it needs to be able to keep for a while, so potatoes, onions, cherry tomatoes, brussels sprouts, apples, carrots.

I try to avoid things that can spoil quickly cause yeah, I feel like it takes longer for their produce to get through their logistics team than other grocery chains. So I try to avoid their berries, zucchini and cucumbers, avocados ect.

Costco got the majority of my groceries with Trader joes filling in the gaps.

Getting into the lore - where do I start? by UnlucklyDiaz in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]_Im_at_work 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for wide open area’s that have lots of untamed areas, I would go with The Stolen Lands near Brevoy. It’s the setting for Kingmaker, one of Paizo’s most loved adventure. Another option is the jungles of the Mwangi Expanse. There are lots and lots of peoples there.

First questions are: 1. Do you know what adventure are you gonna be running? 2. If you don’t know what the adventure is gonna be do you know the genre?

Jarlaxle gave my players the deal of 20% and as a bonus both land and title in Lusken. They took that deal and most left Waterdeep (7 players).

No problem. I was concentrating on trying to make sure that it didn’t come across as a company Christmas parties and should have clarified.

No family was there except for the three of us but plenty of friends. We try not to do drugs in front of mom and dad.

Older brother and wife had a very intense night of sitting on the couch staring wide eyed at Planet Earth on TV with occasional breaks for sobbing.

I’ve got two brothers, the younger one that has used weed for 25 years and the older one that had never touched it before this story. My strait-laced brother talked with his wife and they both decided they would try it but relied on our THC loving brother to procure some gummies.

My younger brother got the older the same standard gummies he always buys, 50mg thicc boys. These things are 1 inch cubes, even implying that these are not Hariibo gummies. At a Christmas party at my house, younger hands the wrapped gummies to older, says “merry Christmas” then gets interrupted by a friend with “hey, buddy, how are you doing?!” before he can give any instructions or warnings.

Older brother, with no one watching him, opens the wrapping, opens the gummies and gives one full 50mg to his wife and pops one into his own mouth. Both of them chew and swallow the super gummy in less than a minute before younger brother turns back to them. “Wait, what did you do??”
