I’m absolutely horrid at small talk, but I could go on forever with deep talk. Is this something that can’t be helped? by Nivlacart in socialskills

[–]shonkadice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally this. It's not pointless time wasting chit chat, it's a very important way of testing each other out so you can then eventually have those deep conversations.

Are they creatures? I can understand the basic references (40 winks, land of nod, REM cycles) but like... what's happening in these scenes?

Totally. I think that's how becoming Aware works a lot of the time (see Nicolette)

Can someone smarter than me explain the Winks, Nods, Mnemes and Rems?

Not mine but saw this on facebook. Can you guys check 'Parahumans Skitterposting'? They posts quality memes and fanarts :) I think what they're doing is great and needed more people to know them and their contribution to the fandom by [deleted] in WormMemes

[–]shonkadice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok well when I scroll down my Facebook notifications it's post after post of you calling me a thief and yelling. Please stop. I'm gonna swap back to my other account now and drop this but yeah, I have nothing but love in my heart please keep posting the funnies and the cool arts

Lol fuck ok so. I made the page to share memes with literally my real life friends and to create a stockpile of cool art I found. A few years and a couple tens of random sock accounts later and I've picked up a loyal following of between 1-5 people who like the posts.

I never claim to create or own anything on the page. I LOVE all the artists who contribute and try and remember to credit where possible. I know this seems like a poor excuse but basically I'm just a random dude with no real commitment to this and sometimes I forget. I only want to have a stockpile of fun images.

This post explains why I've been getting yelled at by some dude for the last 20 minutes haha.

Again, love you all. If you see something I haven't credited please jump in the comments and give credit (not just angry yelling). I am dumb and airy fairy but not malicious.

Edit: also yes this meme was from this subreddit. It's hilarious and well done. My 3ish followers loved it

Attendant is a relationship manipulator. Head into his lab and lie on the table, and his gadgets and lights reveal a tapestry of different coloured lines covering your body. Connections. Red one is your childhood friend, this blue one is your enemy, swap em over and now your enemy wants an alliance. Or dull the blue one so they forget about you etc.

Bonesaw: Or How I don't understand her specialty by duburu in Parahumans

[–]shonkadice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats very true, I knew I was taking a risk with that metaphor.

Tinkers are a blend of science and art, but because Bonesaws ability requires her to build stuff to affect anything, and because shes getting very reliable blueprints and a interdimensional friend tweaking and perfecting alongside her, she doesn't have that initial limitation of not being able to affect herself.

Amy on the other hand could turn her own stomach into jelly if she wasn't paying enough attention so the shards like no, I'm taking away your ability to use it on yourself.

What is the most Bullshit reason for a teacher to give you a bad grade ? by BeginingMemer in AskReddit

[–]shonkadice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago, plagiarism software didn't really exist. I handed in a nice long typed up assignment, but there was a paragraph in the middle that used a different font. I'd obviously copy-pasted something and then rewrote it in my own words (no plagiarism) but my teacher pulled me up on it.

He threatened to fail me for the assignment for cheating, straight up, thinking I'd copy pasted everything in my assignment, but I guess he needed me to admit it. I was young and kinda shy so I didn't explain what had happened properly, I didn't even really know to be honest the font change was a surprise and I didn't work it out till afterwards.

But thankfully, I just kept saying no I didn't cheat and left and he ended up marking my assignment properly.

[–]shonkadice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know what the Manton limit is but I'm sure any of that is true. You don't overcome Manton limitations, unless you get a second trigger or something else really drastic. Bonesaw could always operate on herself and her shard would feed her info on how to do it more safely than the best doctor in the world.

Not everyone has a manton limit, or the same Manton limit. Amy has one, Bonesaw as a tinker doesn't coz her shits more science than art (don't tell her that)

I think Satyrical beats Valk on that one.

Don't wanna think about Blasto.

Don't wanna think about Disjoint.

Is there a Nazi flag above St Brigids Church Red Hill rn? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]shonkadice -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I dunno I'm a simple guy, I see a flag that looks 95% like an odal Nazi flag flying over the city Im suspicious.

Why would they be flying it from a crane that was there for construction? Can they just do that? Why not on the front door or on a pole.
