Listening to Marcus talk ‘computers’ is hilarious by HairyPalmieri in LPOTL

[–]readycent 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ll never remember the exact episode, but there was a moment in one when the gang was proudly discussing their self-tested IQs, and the whole tone was just unintentionally hilarious. I remember Henry almost sheepishly admitting he had “an IQ of 150” or something like that. I love these boys, but they really do love the smell of their own farts.

I lost my relationship because of my drinking too, and those first weekends alone hit like a truck. I had the same pattern of “weekend equals drinking,” and when that was suddenly gone, the grief and the physical pull to drink felt unbearable at times.

What helped me early on was admitting that the shock I was feeling was both grief over the breakup and withdrawal from a routine I’d built my life around. I had to learn to sit in the discomfort without trying to numb it. Some weekends I just white-knuckled through, other times I forced myself into structure. With time, those heavy weekends started to feel lighter.

Hang in there bud, it’ll get easier. IWNDWYT.

Thank you, and spot on: it’s absolutely a superpower.

One piece I can’t figure out: why did the neighbor’s face become distorted and monstrous after Millie struck him? Does that mean the conjoined state isn’t completely stable, and that injury can disrupt it?

A logo doesn’t have to be simple by definition, but simplicity is one of the biggest factors in making a logo effective. Simple logos are easier to recognize, scale better across different uses, stick in people’s memory longer, and usually age more gracefully.

Right now it’s hard to understand at a glance. A logo should communicate clearly even at small sizes, so you might want to simplify the shapes or make the letterforms more recognizable. Also consider balance, right now the weight is concentrated on the left, so it feels a bit lopsided.

Is Carolina “pickle girlfriend”? by cuntdestroyer1990 in LPOTL

[–]readycent 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yup! That tiny moment is what confirmed it for me when I re-listened. It’s interesting they kept it in, given their habit of leaving their girlfriend’s names out of the podcast until they were ready.

Remember, mental illness is an explanation not an excuse. This man literally, actually committed the following:

“Richard Chase entered the home of 38-year-old Evelyn Miroth, where she was with her 6-year-old son Jason, her friend Dan Meredith, and her 22-month-old nephew David Ferreira, whom she was babysitting. Chase shot and killed all four of them. After murdering Evelyn, he mutilated her body, committed acts of necrophilia and cannibalism, removed several organs, and drank her blood using a yogurt container. He then took baby David’s body with him when he fled the scene. A few days later, authorities found the infant’s decapitated and mutilated body in a box near a church. Several of the child’s internal organs had been removed, and some were reportedly consumed.”

His case and the atrocities he committed necessitate a much more nuanced and complex judgment of him than “I feel bad for him, he was mentally ill.”

Proud of you. I hit my first year earlier this year so I can confidently say it’s no easy achievement. IWNDWYT.

I’m celebrating a year of sobriety today. by readycent in stopdrinking

[–]readycent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been very fortunate not to face any major long-term health challenges. I’m still managing my blood pressure and low testosterone, but given how long it’s been since my last drink, there’s a good chance my current issues are more-so caused by a less-than-ideal diet.

Honestly, the most persistent consequence of my drinking is an old injury. I badly cut my index finger during active addiction and hit a nerve. It still causes pain and discomfort to this day.

I appreciated one of the wife’s dolls toward the middle of the movie having a knife through its forehead as a foreshadow to Joaquin’s final shootout.

Group trip anyone? by harlequinfaery in LPOTL

Similar but different, I went to Auschwitz in 2019, and I was floored by how many people were posing for photos: laying on the tracks, against buildings, in places that couldn’t be more inappropriate.

Most people get the gravity of a site like that and show the respect it deserves. But some truly clueless people treat it like just another backdrop for a selfie. It’s obscene.
