@Tinuviel said in RL Anger: @Aria said in RL Anger: Super appreciate the $375 fine for "dumping", assholes. How the hell is it dumping if it's on your porch? Some municipalities are stupid about this sort of thing. My mom once got fined for an 'unkempt yard' because the flowers around the mailbox weren't currently in bloom. Because a neighbor kept filing complaints.

@Auspice Historically speaking, that is the eventual outcome of tooth pain.

@Testament said in RL things I love: Puma is doing a shoe collab with Nintendo right now and goddamn are some of the silhouettes just...chef's kiss That is gorgeous and I want them.

Taskmaster is the best thing ever

@Rucket said in General Video Game Thread: Eh, I can't blame them for not 'remastering' Dragon Age when Inquisition was a PS4 game. I guess not, but not re-releasing the Mass Effect series was just stupid. I suppose my point, if I had one, is that Hudson and Darrah coming on board didn't seem to help, so I don't know their departure is going to signal that the studio is going to start releasing good games. They could have attempted to fix up Andromeda, but instead just dropped the game. And Anthem was objectively terrible.

It's worth noting that if you grind your teeth in your sleep, ***Spoiler tag for people who have dental phobias -- you don't want to see this.***click to show which many people with stress and anxiety do, you can drive the roots of a molar into your sinus cavity if the tooth cracks. It is a good idea to address any molar pain promptly because if you let it sit long enough, that 'crack' can essentially fuse the cracked tooth with the jawbone. If the tooth has to come out, this complicates everything considerably, because it is entirely possible that it will take a chunk of jawbone with it. This can mean bone grafts become necessary, and in worse cases, a sinus lift. Guess who learned this the hard way!

@sockmonkey today was my friday!

Cosmos (2019) was actually really good. At parts it touches on campy and the music is a bit much. But then again, the only part they spent money on was the score, so they got what they paid for too. This movie really shows a good use of the language of film. The score is a good bed of sound (Altman) despite at parts being bit overly dramatic. Otherwise, they are really good with elements. Good use of Chekhov's gun and no big MacGuffins that seem out of place. So simple and good awareness of the science (mostly, it falls apart a little but the film language is balanced); the guys had some experience I believe with documentaries in the realm of radio astronomy (them or a parent maybe). I'm in a phase of everything I see look like a bad rehash in various genre without contributing much new. This was a good one for me to see during this phase.

when you slowly play out a scene over the course of the week and it turns out to be a fun high point and then you're laughing at 6am when you catch up on the poses that happened while you were zzzz

@Tinuviel It's funny because it's true.

@Jeshin Hey. I don't know if this got lost in the shuffle (shuffle, noise, vitriol), but I never minded the idea of anyone saying, "Hey, this thing is awesome and we want to feature it." I think it's a great community-building idea, and I hope you keep doing it. Even if people disagree, they will know what you think is good. The big explosion over ideas was because of the prerequisites. That is all.

Me: Hey, I have to do X within an hour. Also me: But I want to do Y. Me: Fine, do Y, and then panic and do X at the last minute possible. Also me: Deal. 5 Hours Later... Me: Okay I finished 30 other unrelated things instead. Time for bed. Also me: Crap, I forgot to do X! Me: And I forgot to do Y!

@mietze said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing: My youngest child came home with a pilgrims and Indians themes project in kindergarten this year school year in WA state. Which was horrifying to me on many levels. Public school instruction in the US is extremely fractured, not only state by state but district by district and school by school. (My older kids' elementary school would have NEVER done that, and also at the time was the main site for a native american students and families group for the district, and those parents very generously shared resources with the teachers, students, and other families about PacNW history and current culture!!) There is such a strange deviation in how we teach people on a state-by-state basis. I spent my pre-teen through high school period on Maui, wherein we did explicitly discuss American colonialism and the annexation's effects on the modern day. That said, we absolutely did not discuss anything in lengthy detail that solely affected the mainland. This made it surprisingly frank, like in US history the teacher said "The Civil War was about slavery," and that was that. When I was in early elementary school, I lived in Georgia in which the textbook used was like "here are the reasons why states' rights are important..." so you can imagine how much unlearning happened in middle & high school there.

ARK: Survival Evolved is free on Epic until the 18th.

@Cupcake said in The 100: The Mush: @Booriley Was this meant for the Apology thread? The apology thread has a 50% chance of just turning into a shooting gallery for bitter cunts.

@Bobotron said in The State of the Chronicles of Darkness: @tragedyjones Right. I skimmed that and honestly didn't think of Hunter or Mummy. :/ Sorry for forgetting someone's favorite game lines. I only know because it was pointed out on the onyx path forum, honestly.
