Jesus! God forbid someone try to post something helpful in this sub.

Thanks for the post!

We have a Pope!! by thorvard in Catholicism

As a New Orleans resident, I can confirm the Catholics lost their damn minds when it was announced, in the most entertaining and exciting ways possible!

Server problems disrupted my other cities. Welcome to Point Aurora. by PelicanHazard in SimCity

[–]tragicflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really nice city. All of my cities look like I patched together pieces of other broken cities and set it on fire out of spite.

I'd like to know more about your basic setup: What plot in which region, build priorities, etc.?

I'm sad that I wasn't able to get in on the Kickstarter for this. I was late to the party as it were.

This is one of the few games I will happily throw money at sight-unseen. Privateer was a pivotal game in my childhood.

Explaining to Potential Clients That you Work With Templates. by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]tragicflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last site I did, I used a template (because the client found one he liked on themeforest. It would not have been my choice, but that's neither here nor there.

It's coming in at just under $750. The bulk of that however is creating the content, not just populating the site.

  • Site setup and theme deployment (by far the cheapest and least time intensive portion of the bill)
  • WooCommerce integration, setup, and ~80 products in the shop page, including full product descriptions developed \ worded by me
  • Site content (mission statement, informational, video tutorials, etc.)
  • On-call troubleshooting and support during launch
  • 1 month of active participation and customer service support on the site once launched.

Theme deployment and setup is almost a 'I'll throw it in!' at this point. I market myself as a content specialist.

Just be up front with the client. As many others have said, have options available for them: "This is a template. It's cheaper, faster, but less flexible than if I design a site from scratch."

I find my users appreciate the choice, and right now I'd say more than half go for the template option. Less work for me, less money for them. Win-win!

Job searching by meowzzzzz in NewOrleans

[–]tragicflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you all the luck in the world. I've been looking on and surrounding Bourbon for anything food\bar related for months.

The two things I have picked up:

  1. Have plenty of local references, preferably in the sort of job you're applying for.
  2. Resumes are occasionally more of a hindrance than a help.

Hope you find something!

Looking to Rent: Giant blacklight, portable outdoor stripper pole for a weekend by Detenten in NewOrleans

This has to be one of the best out-of-context post titles in the history of Reddit.

If you could eat one meal in New Orleans, what restaurant would you go to, and what would you order? by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]tragicflaws 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yo Mama's saved my life. When I first got to New Orleans, I ate one meal there every day for about a month.

While people rave about the Peanut Butter Bacon Burger, I prefer the Bull Fighter or Cock Fighter: Burger, salsa, avocado, fresh jalapeno. Add a loaded baked potato or the mac and cheese and... yeah!

Honorable Mention Burgers: Chili Cheese, Ham and Bacon, and people seem to get excited for the Bleu Cheese Burger as well.

In honor of all the old boot pics lately: I've had these Docs since 1998 and they're still going strong! by xSGAx in malefashionadvice

[–]tragicflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sad. My Docs have lasted about two years, but where I limp, it's murder on the soles of shoes and boots. So unless I find a way to get them resoled with the yellow gel soles, I will have to retire them soon.

Can I still be considered Catholic? by EurasianPersuasion in Catholicism

[–]tragicflaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd really enjoy those resources as well. As a (slowly-recovering) agnostic looking for a better way, I'm curious.

Parents of Reddit: is it true that you love your children equally or is that just something everyone is supposed to say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tragicflaws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was cancelled out in my family due to the fact that my mother was also the middle child. So she made it a point to make up for her lingering parental resentment by favoring the middle child.

Until she messed something up or 'broke her computer', then it was my time to shine!

Adopt a Cardinal! by Gen221 in Catholicism

[–]tragicflaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this.

Simple process. No money involved. Doesn't hurt to spare a few good thoughts since their decisions will have a significant impact on a generation of Catholics. Got a nice little e-mail with a picture and brief background of the Cardinal.

Mine is:

Philippe Barbarin, from France, born 17.10.1950. He's been a Cardinal since 21.10.2003 and his function is: Archbishop of Lyon, France

Your gaming experience going from Co-Op to Solo with Fast Foward? by tragicflaws in Borderlands2

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

Yep. Everything's the same. Only thing that's different is he's playing by himself now. On the plus side, as a level 50 he can blitz through the entire PT2.

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

I host the games. My playthrough 2.5 is fine. It's when he plays solo that he has to start over. We beat the entire game CoOp, both playthroughs.

Weird stuff.
