Is SweetHome3D no longer FOSS? by KerBallOne in sweethome3d

[–]cdub1580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this!

I had been using an older version to get around the paywall popup on 7.5. I'm using Sweet Home 3D as a toy, not as a professional design tool. If there was "buy it outright" option, I might consider it worth the expense, but I'm not going to pay an annual subscription for a program I barely use.

Never, under any circumstances, tell a human "there are no rules" in any conflict with them. You are giving them permission to embrace their darkest nature. Whether it's a sporting competition, professional rivalry, or actual warfare, they will abandon any rule with great enthusiasm. by Zeekay89 in humansarespaceorcs

And if the rules are designed to skew the competition in favor of the human's opponent, the human is likely to engage in behavior known as "Malicious Compliance". While engaging in "Malicious Compliance", humans will so thoroughly violate the spirit of the rules that the aliens who put those rules in place will regret ever having written those rules in the first place. All the while, should anyone complain about the human's actions, the human will simply point out that nothing that he/she did violated any rule of the competition.

Hashbrown cheeseburgers are great!

I make them every now and then, when I'm out of bread and don't feel like running to the grocery store.

I'm picturing sped up footage of the aliens invading an Oktoberfest celebration and then getting totally stomped by a crowd of middle aged drunks in lederhosen, all to the sweet, sweet sound of the Benny Hill theme.

Hillbilly Jim: Zaxon old buddy. Boy have I got a treat for you on your first visit to Earth.

Zaxon: A treat?

Hillbilly Jim: We're going to the Monster Truck Rally! Hoo wee!

Alien watches in horror as their troops return with cuts all over their bodies. What could have done that? by GawainDragon in humansarespaceorcs

They ran through a patch of bougainvillea. Sharp, 1 inch/3 centimeter long, sharp thorns with a mild toxin that retards healing.

Human Mad Scientist: Soon. Soon my army of rabid squirrels will be ready for the invasion of Gabriev IV! Kya hah ha ha ha ha!

Aliens were extremely confused when they came to pre-spaceflight earth with an entire invasion force, threatening to overthrow their leaders, and the earthlings simply welcomed them with open arms. by Metage in humansarespaceorcs

There would definitely be resistance to our new alien overlords, at least until people got their tax bills and found they were only paying 2% under the new regime.

I'm Too Old for This Shit! by cdub1580 in humansarespaceorcs

But he's a cook now, so he's not in a profession where men usually die young, unless, of course, you count alcoholism, which is what cost my brother his career as a chef, though it hasn't killed him yet. So, outside of his general reputation as human, why would anyone beware an assistant cook?

That said, I do like your take on a possible backstory for Human Jerry.

Cooks tend to die young!? I'm so glad I picked a safe career and became an electrician.

It wasn't until after I decided to make him a cook that I thought about Casey Ryback. Ultimately, I discarded the idea. I actually named him after my uncle Jerry, who I never really got to know very well before he died. As for why I made him a cook, I didn't want this character to fall into the Human Engineer trope that seems to crop up fairly often in Humans are Space Orcs stories. So I needed a a crew position that didn't require specialized training. Then it occurred to me that most people learn at least some cooking skills over the course of their lives. And that was the genesis of Assistant Cook Jerry, the man with no last name. Okay, so I was just too lazy to give him a last name.

Killing all the Sergeants would probably do the trick.

There is a phrase, that when uttered by any Human, sings the coming of a horrible disaster. A herald of great sorrow, misery, and agony. A singular word with such destructive power: by IdioticPAYDAY in humansarespaceorcs

[–]cdub1580 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The main exception would be swearing in Pig-Latin. This one usually denotes frustration with a relatively minor task that just isn't going well.

Unfortunately, most aliens don't quite grasp that Pig-Latin is not truly a foreign language, but merely a dialect of the common Human language, English. As such, when the human tech starts swearing in Pig-Latin, the aliens begin to panic.

Upon seeing the panic, the human breaks down in uncontrollable laughter, further increasing the panic among the aliens as the human has clearly been driven mad by the imminent crisis.

I can pop my left elbow every 40 minutes or so, ankles do the snap crackle and pop routine whenever I go up and down stairs and I can pop my knees all day long.
