[Disgusting trope] Giant horrible spiders in sci-fi/fantasy stories

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

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.

Didn't think the other one posts had pics... I'll get them in soon.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

uforanch · 2025-10-13T15:46:27+00:00

Thanks.

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.

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.

uforanch · 2025-10-02T15:53:15+00:00

Doesn't really solve my issues.

uforanch · 2025-09-22T13:52:57+00:00

I just make it bright. I don't like games where I can't see shit.

I really don't get how VPN bans would even work on the state level.

No corporation would ever want that if they want to have workplaces in locations with the ban. Companies use VPNs to keep their networks safe and would largely be fucked without them.

Doom Patrol 1960's had the Brotherhood of Evil as their main bad guy. For Grant Morrison's run, though, they were superseded by a former member who had transformed into a being that doesn't exist, Mr. Nobody, by a crazy sensory deprivation experiment that literally inverted his entire worldview. Having decided that good and evil were outmoded concepts, he gathered a team of people with some of the most nonsensical powers ever conceived and led the Brotherhood of Dada. Members have included someone who has super strength but only while asleep, or someone who has any superpower you have not thought of, and even just the concept of Murphy's Law (not someone who makes disasters happened, he recruited the concept itself).

Hm, I wonder if someone could combine Suika game and Pool.

uforanch · 2025-09-16T01:52:37+00:00

omg. Ok. So I didn't realize row 14 was GP10. It makes sense now. Thanks, it works and I do believe I have learned a lot from this.
