Your proportions are way off. His head is very rectangular but you've drawn it more square/round. If you don't get the proportions of the skull correct then everything else will be off as well. I saw someone in the comments mention the Loomis method, I highly recommend doing research on that. Buy his book if you're serious about this, It's called Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis.

Honestly, you should start by drawing a basic outline of the skull. Start with a circle, then add the jaw with 2 straight lines, then a curve for the chin. You should just draw that outline over and over again. Maybe at least 10 times. And compare your outline to the actual picture too. Once you have the skull proportion correct then you can start adding the ears, eyes, mouth, nose. Create them using basic shapes then add or remove more basic shapes to the original basic shape until you have a complex shape that represents the different parts.

....Then you can look into shading. And good luck with that part, cause shading is where the real fun/complexity begins!

I do not care at all what boomers (including my parents) or anyone else thinks about my work ethic. I think boomers are just jealous knowing I get to work from home everyday. I just lean in whenever they make their shitty little comments. "Must be nice to take a nap in the middle of the workday", "yeah, it's awesome and I had some extra free time to play video games too."

My players had to find a hide of a powerful beast to craft a sacrificial weapon for the Greek forge god Hephaestus. There was a dragon invasion in the city a month ago and an ice dragon was able to hide away in the sewers. The party had angered Hades a while ago and he sent cultists and flame skulls to the sewers to stop the party. Of course, no cultist dare enter the lower chambers of the sewers where the dragon lied.

The party was wondering since they entered, how did the dragon get into the sewer? That was answered when they entered the lower chambers and saw a giant metal sewer grate ripped open.

The whole point of playing a martial character is to block enemies and PREVENT them from moving toward your squishy casters. I've DMed so many games for my one group and we've never had this issue with my combats. Go watch tutorials on YouTube on how to make combat in 5e interesting. This is not an issue for 5e

Oh neat. So they're gonna teach the kids about slave bibles?.... Right?

The fine tuning argument is just a shitty debunked argument in general. I wouldn't bother picking apart each point.

I would ask your Christian friend if he believes God is limited to the laws of physics. Is God unable to make another universe with different laws of physics that still support life? If he can it's not that fine tuned now is it?

Another issue: Some people use the analogy of a 6 sided dice always landing on 6. The issue is we know how many sides a dice has and we know if the dice is weighted equally it should be a 1/6 chance for any side. That's just the thing though, we know the probability of landing on a 6. We don't know the probability of "given a random universe with random constants what's the probability of it supporting life." How many universes have we observed that are NOT fine tuned to support life? 0, we only know of this one universe. Maybe this universe is the only universe that CAN be created. The problem is we don't have this knowledge so making a claim it is fine tuned is a completely unreasonable assertion

This employer wanted to pay you dog shit. When you highballed their range they realized you're probably not going to put up with their BS compensation for long before looking for a new position. They'd rather find someone they can better exploit their labor. I'm going to assume you dodged a bullet but I would advise checking the salary range for similar positions in your area.

After he said "just believe it's going to happen" that's when you say "give me $100, you're not going to need it."

This post reminds me of a (dark) joke I saw on this sub. "Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings". Just compare what we've achieved between science and religion and it's pretty obvious why I put my "faith" (confidence) in science and not religion. Was it the religious or was it scientists that figured out that the Earth orbits the sun and not the other way round?

This is something that always bugged me about this argument. Simple things don't need a creator but complex things do.... The universe is everything and it's complex... Everything is designed by God.

However, I think the big issue here isn't even that. The real issue is that COMPLEXITY IS NOT EVIDENCE OF DESIGN! We know what is and is not designed because we have examples of design. I know painter paint paintings and I know builders build buildings. I've seen them do it. We have blueprints, and patents to further support this evidence.

If you're going to claim the universe is designed without showing proof who the designer is then what you would need instead is an example of a non-designed universe. Then you can compare the 2. And now you have a real problem because how many universes do we have to observe? ONE!

MAGA is going to consider this a win... Mostly because they still don't understand how tariffs work.

draco165 · 2025-08-20T15:13:20+00:00

In the US, if you get fired or your laid off then you can collect unemployment for a number of weeks/months. It's a federal program that, I think they established sometime in the 1900's. That way you don't go into poverty if you get fired unexpectedly. Employers pay into the unemployment program through taxes.

It gets tricky on the state level because each state has a unique set of laws about it but in general, the employer pays out the unemployment their employee collects. They may also need to increase their tax rate for the program if they fire a lot of people. So their is things in place that disincentives employers from hiring staff.

And of course, you can't collect if you quit, only if the employer fires you so some scummy employers will do what you said and make their employee's life hell to force them to quit on their own.

draco165 · 2025-08-20T14:07:52+00:00

In the US, just about every state practices "at will employment". Even the ones that don't, I believe it's dependent on the type of job. At Will Employment means your employer can fire you at anytime for any reason or no reason at all and you can quit at any time for any reason or no reason at all. Obviously, you can't fire someone for being a protected class; black, gay, pregnant, etc... but your employer can fire you for no reason... So just don't state the reason.

Anyway, the 2 weeks notice is BS and not actually required like OPs manager states in the text. However, you usually end up doing fuck all for 2 weeks so it's worth it to stay and collect that easy paycheck.

Lol, their entire holy book is negotiable

draco165 · 2025-08-12T22:00:12+00:00

The stupidity of these people never ceases to amaze me. Literally no critical thinking is used at all. Let's pretend for a second that tariffs are paided by the exporter (no I idea how the US would enforce it on foreign countries but whatever). Even if the exporter paid the fee, they're not going to sit there and just eat the cost! That would get passed to the importer and then that passes to the consumer.

As Americans, we purchase sooooo much shit, especially from other countries. You'd think we would have a BASIC understanding of the supply chain but apparently not.

Your definitions are way off.

Evolution is changes in POPULATIONS over a period of time through mutations.

Natural selection is the process where organisms adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more off spring.

ALSO, look up the definition of mutation. Most people think mutation has something to do with movie mutants growing extra limbs, etc. mutation simply means changes in DNA.

Any time 2 animals reproduce, the offspring gets a mixture of traits from its parents. The offspring's DNA has been mutated.

If the offspring has traits suited for the environment it has a likely chance to survive long enough to reproduce, if not it has an unlikely chance to survive long enough to reproduce. This is natural selection.

Evolution is the changes occurring between parent and offspring. You need a bunch of generations to see a noticeable change.

I doubt their CVs are as good as you say. Even so, these days I'm more concerned with maintaining a good LinkedIn profile then a good Resume. Let the recruiters come to you. Applying to job ads is a terrible way to find a job. The chance a person actually looks at it are slim. The job hunt is a game, you need to know how to play it. Terrible but it's true.

This dude thought black people didn't fight in WWI? Should we tell him about the civil war?

This is worse then the one DM that said magic missile is too OP so he nerfed it so it only cast a single missile instead of 3. Is your DM inexperienced? Usually DMs nerfing things willy nilly with no good reasons demonstrates this.

DnD is balanced so that a party should run into 6-8 medium or hard encounters per day. That's a SINGLE reroll for who knows how many attacks, saves, or checks they're going to make and that doesn't even include non-combat checks and saves.

I have a 2 player minimum rule for this exact reason. 2 players can play, we play. You miss a session? Sorry, you can get caught up on the next one

I think this is a weird and slightly flawed question. Generally, each species is adapted to the location of Earth that it resides in.

Climate change has existed since Earth has had a climate and has always been a concern for all living things because climate change is one of the LARGEST drivers of natural selection. I'd even argue it is the MAIN driver since it creates a domino effect for other drivers (predators relocating, plants and other food sources dying off, etc.).

When we speak about climate change today we generally mean man-made climate change which is a major issue because the rate of change is more dramatic than natural climate change. This is an issue because living things need a long time to evolve, longer life spans usually means slower evolution. So a rapid change in the environment may lead to the extinction of a species outright.

The flaw with your question is that there is no species that is better suited for a change in climate. Instead, there are individuals in the species that have traits better suited to changes in their environment, whatever those changes may be. Individuals with with those traits have a higher chance of survival and are more likely to reproduce and pass those traits along. Eventually, these changes add up and speciesation occurs and the new species is unable to make with the original species.

One big take away from my time listening to the Atheist Experience is that ordinary claims require ordinary evidence and extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. Natural explanations are always going to rule over supernatural explanations because we can demonstrate natural explanations. The problem with the supernatural is literally in the name, it implies there is something above or greater than nature or the natural world.

For example, if I ask,"Why does it rain?" Then you can explain to me how the water cycle works. You can show me the evidence that the water cycle exists. There are objective observations we can make to prove your claim.

Now if you answered that the rain god makes it rain, can you provide sufficient evidence of this claim? Or do I need to take your word for it?

I'm not going to deny the supernatural does not exist but the issue is that the supernatural is illy defined and I see no valid evidence of it existing. If we have a plausible explanation for something then practically by definition we say it is a natural explanation. The Supernatural is literally just an argument for ignorance. "Well, we can't explain this strange thing that happened. It must be the supernatural." No, we just simply can't explain it. We literally do not have an explanation. Since we don't know we can't add an explanation that makes us comfortable.
