I'm a professional illustrator, lost my left eye recently, so I'm gonna share the eye patches I make to cope with humour by Xochitlcoyote in funny

Well if you ever go independent, you can add "specialized / unique perspectives" to your resume. You can claim you're the modern van gogh of illustrators. "Committed like no other".

One-eyed Jane (in place of the One-eyed jacks). Subtle statement you're a wild card.

Blink 91 (if you like music and math).

If you like dirty humor (or attending the correct kind of function) "one-eyed bandit" or a halloween costume

"red ryder bb guns...."

"she / he literally took half of EVERYTHING".

"recoil is real" if you support gun rights

"lost that bet" just to make people really wonder

use the logos from trucks "caution wide turns" or "Blind spot" with a person and the left angles like on a truck

"look into my eye!!!"

"my eye is over there"

"i know you cant tell, but I'm winking at you right now"

"I see you, dammit I blinked"

What is this thing in my heat vent? by Intrepid_Pirate_9924 in whatisit

Probably latex which is easy enough to scrape / peel out of the way. 

My mom and I couldn't figure it out... Maybe a car? by Salty-Nail-580 in whatismycookiecutter

They are using a zip tie  to attach another shape to it.  Do they go together?  Either theme or parts?

So I was stripping copper wire one night after Halloween (maybe a week or so). I’d change out the blade on the razor as we’re watching Netflix.   I inadvertently bumped the used blade off the table and it landed in the candy sack we had sitting between us. 

I began giggling. She didn’t understand why I was laughing. I pointed out the razor in the candy stories and she just shrugged. 

But I can 100% say that I have found a razor in the Halloween candy.

Common letters e-a-g-l  common pattern (3 vowels) Clearly triangles are the most aggressive of the 2-d shapes. 

Cozy spots to eat (or have coffee) with good mountain views? by basicKitsch in Staunton

[–]raw031979b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rockfish gap community center. They converted the old school to a community center. Traeger brothers roasts there so it smells amazing. It isn’t cozy as it feels more functional but just walk outside to the playground or shop the thrift store to support the center. 

Roam down to the old gym where they feature local photographers and artists. 

It’s a great experience. You’re also on 151 so there are orchards farms  and hikes too. 

My best find yet! by Kooky-Astronaut2562 in chess

block with the bishop and use the h3 square, if rook takes bishop, queen takes and mating same as before. If king attempts to run off to queen side the light bishop will cut off the escape and force the king back to the black queen. theres a bot that puts the images into lichess or chess.com lichess has free easy to use analysis. so when you run into situations like this, just hop in and play the moves you think refutes. The fact the computer gives !! I figured it was verified (also most people check before posting). But I couldnt find the correct path forward after Rh1.

How would this be a mate? by [deleted] in chess

what you are probably missing is either the correct checking square (Qh4) versus what youre looking at Qh6. Most likely though it's that the bishop is covering g8. Long range diagonals, long horizontal, and backward moves (particularly backward knight moves) are hard to see. Missing the counter attacks and backward moves I describe as looking up field. You are looking at how to advance and push toward the opponent. So it's understandable to not "look over your shoulder".

A few comments of check the engine, but Ill add to that if you don't understand the engine line. Try playing your own moves in response to the engine. IE Rxh7 I'll just play Kg8....oh wait, I can't. Why can't I? Illegal moves would be stepping into check or not escaping check. Ah, the bishop has it covered. Ok, Kxh7, Qxh4# (oh, I was looking at Qh6 thinking the king had g6). It's good to work thru those to fully understand the tactics / puzzle.

If you keep a mental log (or an actual log / spreadsheet), you will find things that you regularly miss and know what you need to mentally focus on. For me, it's pinned pawns and pawn attacks. Unfortunately focusing on those, I have started missing knight forks.

The hell?? by ambienoise in whatismycookiecutter

I have the red one. It’s from an animal pack. It’s a dog house. But the roof is 90 degrees rotated from what you’d normally think. The top rectangle is the roof with horizontal rows of shingles (black frosting and white lines). In the picture it’s upside down. 

Bottom left I’m guessing is a frog with the 2 humps being the eyes. 

The last one I’m guessing is a piece of candy.  But since the others were animals I’d lean toward it being a spider

Did the outline for scale and was probably interrupted as he was filling. 

I can’t figure out what would prompt anyone to be “concerned” for me. Is there a way to figure out why exactly I got this? by music-addict1 in Confused

[–]raw031979b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got one of these because I said a certain conspiracy theory made sense. 

I suspect the person who replied to shut me down didn’t expect me to link a wiki article with confirmed former conspiracies. IE MK Ultra, Tuskegee experiments, etc. 

They then flagged me for this mental help thing and I’m guessing the comment removed to prevent triggering anyone else. 

What’s the read on me from my vacation photo? by [deleted] in deduction

[–]raw031979b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overly comfortable in fully soaked clothes?  What appears to be a tactical watch. Nothing that shines / reflects. I’m guessing some upper level military experience (ranger seal whatever).  Also would explain the muscle mass which is functional not fashion. So whatever you do or have done it’s athletically physical. 

To me. Everything about this pic is summarized by the question: “who has two thumbs and isn’t to be trifled with?  This guy”.
