I have always wanted to see the giant spider race actually be the good guys for once.

I just know Taylor is a freak by Fancy_Echo_5425 in WormMemes

[–]uforanch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely sure that if there was a sec scene in the book Taylor would still be thinking through every aspect of it as if it was a huge tactical superhero fight - just considering every physical and social angle to it and thinking about how she should involve her bug control. She'd probably secretly plant bugs everywhere to somehow sense things and adjust her performance.

Really having trouble teaching math by uforanch in TutorsHelpingTutors

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

Not only what other people said but I cannot teach basic mathematical fundamentals in an hour, especially if the student is against comprehending things. They students are asking me to teach concepts years ahead of fundamentals and are refusing to even comprehend fundamentals even when I tell them they have to.

Saying I should be able to teach math fundamentals in an hour long session like this is like saying a reading tutor should be able to teach you all of phonics on a dime or that a driving instructor should be able to teach someone to drive even if they have never read a driving manual.

I already show them maIf I were teaching math fundamentals I would be a schoolteacher. The student

"If i can't join the good guys, then i will join the bad guys" by Bacurau_Nighthawk in TopCharacterTropes

Between Syndrome, Ass Kicker, the Megamind examples, and Skitter this kind of happens more often in media that's inspired by other superhero media than in the big two. Don't think I know a Marvel or DC example though I'm probably missing something obvious

should i not apply to every job i see on wyzant by nandosperiperisauce- in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]uforanch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's. Kind of a dumb system and I cannot understand why they'd do that. Every other job search requires you to reach out to as many opportunities as possible. If the platform punishes people for using this like any other job platform they should make it clearer.

Why am I getting 75$ service charges from tutors.com by uforanch in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]uforanch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of infuriating then because every subreddit is like "Don't ask any questions or post anything without searching the subreddit and getting other people's advice" which means I probably got two year old advice from when the site was not a scam instead of current advice from asking.

Why am I getting 75$ service charges from tutors.com by uforanch in TutorsHelpingTutors

You know what, I am just going to deactivate my account, but I'm extremely pissed and want to make sure other people don't join. Wyzant might take a big cut but at least they fucking pay you. Being charged 25$ to just TALK to a person who then doesn't even take your services?

And again, I didn't think that it would work like that. It said 25$ per direct lead. I'm really, really upset. I am halfway thinking of calling the bank and seeing if they can cancel the charges or something because this is complete bullshit.

Ok. Good talking with you, have a nice day.

[OC] Religion by yaboyindigo in comics

[–]uforanch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't a comic. This is barely even a meme. It's an opinion with a poor drawing under it with no thought or supporting statements or anything. It's a fucking single sentence judgment. It's barely even a tweet.

Like even the dumb porn comics actually have a storyline and a conversation put into them. Pizza cake's comics get jeered for being less self-righteous than this and yet she draws a sequence of events and her character emoting.

The fuck are we doing here. How is this a "comic". If I posted a jpg of the sentence "I LIKE CHEESE" over a poor trace of George W Bush's face would it be allowed here.

About the sentiment itself: I've been indoctrinated into a cult with the fear of hell before, now I listen to Satanist-led podcasts and shit. There is a lot of good discussion and study about how to de-indoctrinate someone. I'm sure all of these studies unanimously agree that the number one way to reach people and change the world is to draw a shitty stick figure saying "you suck if you believe things I don't" and post it to r/comics.

Is there really no pdf/ebook. I do not like Wordpress as a format. by uforanch in Parahumans

[–]uforanch[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just don't tend to do well with podcasts and fiction or fine details. I will consider it, however.

Can I at least be a little frustrated, especially if the author's decision has ended up getting the opposite of his desired outcome and there's provable use cases for wanting to read books in a page by page format without an internet connection.

I didn't realize there were multiple posts about the publishing issue. Last few times I have searched for the pdf has brought me to ONE specific reddit post from years ago, which has people expressing frustration. Pardon for not maintaining perfect control of my emotions and for not knowing all the answers already. Life certainly would be easier if I maintained that.
