Just finished The Bell Jar by the talented Sylvia Plath. Her imagery is beautiful. It's a an autobiographical roman à clef with dark themes of her struggling with bipolar disorder/depression. And the only book she wore before taking her life when the love of her life left her for another woman.

I was born cynical but him making a fuss has other motives but I'm not that clever. Is he trying to become a martyr? He spends thousands per moth, he can afford another set, no? He has hidden money everywhere.

Maybe, although I personally don't get that at all. Then again I'm not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag... Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit--not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he'd inevitably lean into.

Can we get a fanfic going about Elon's secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I'd probably read it, but I'd also be glad it exists.

Impeccable toad body. *wolf-whistle* 🥵

Whoa! Interesting. Thank you for following through with the story. I saw your message below. Totally worth it. The book I'm currently reading mentions the Red Scare quite a bit, so reading this is even more spooky considering today's political climate.

It wouldn't have changed my stance. A follow-up message would've pressured me to let them down easy seeing they were still interested, but their silence felt indifferent.

@problematicfacts

You two would get along so well...

 

I have a couple times. The last time was a couple years ago with someone I met online who I was getting to know but didn't like after the first date. They asked if I felt like watching some movie and I didn't respond and they didn't follow up. Tbh, I probably would've answered if they had sent a second text. I guess I avoided telling them the truth but it stuck with me like a pebble in my shoe and I feel bad thinking about it.

It's a button to say: "You're wrong, I don't care what you have to say, LA LA LA LA SHUT UP"

Idk, my downvotes mean "ugh".

My cat will knead and then perch herself on my stomach. But don't I dare lay a finger on her or she'll move to the chair. 🤷‍♂️

All I'm hearing is that I need to chug down this tub of lard and get some sleep. Peace, y'all. I'll be incredibly gorgeous by next week.

 

I'd like to report mod activity that's not following sitewide rules on your server and instead bans people because they feel it's not worth their time. I would like for the mod to be overlooked.

The sitewide rule #1 says I can expect to participate without harassment and feel welcome. If I call a mod to look over a user breaking this rule, I should expect them to intervene, right?

So I don't understand why @Apytele@sh.itjust.works is deleting all my comments and banning me instead of the person being aggressive towards me because "both sides of the argument are nonsense" without even bothering with the actual concern. I didn't call them over to look at anyone's argument, I specifically stated in my report that the other person was being extremely disrespectful.

So now I'm banned:

Banned Lemminary from the community Curated Tumblr@sh.itjust.works reason: troll expires: in 30 days

Their excuse? I'm a troll, apparently. I invite anyone to check the messages to see if that's true or if I'm merely sharing my opinion.

I don't care about the ban--keep it that way. But please let me know if something is being done about these mods who enjoy pushing people around. It's infuriating that on top of being dog-piled on, berated & insulted in the thread all day (I got links), I also get treated this way by the people who have taken on the role of protecting users. If I hit the report button, I entrust the person in charge to keep a level head and do their job fairly.

Thank you for your time.

So I've come to the point where I've wanted some to see some features on the software I regularly use and I feel confident enough that I can pull it off. However, once I start getting into it, it all becomes so overwhelming that it's hard to get anything done.

For instance, on more than one occasion I had trouble getting the projects to build on my machine (eg., unsupported OS, lack of documentation, etc.) and it left me unable to write a single line of code making the experience frustrating from all the time wasted that I had to move on.

Other times, I recognize some the patterns and get the general gist of some snippets, but the overall code seems so convoluted to me that I don't even know where to start to analyze a solution, even though if it'd probably take ten lines to implement.

For context, I've been more of a hobbyist programmer for the great majority of my life with a bit of schooling. I do have various finished apps under my belt so I'm definitely not new. But I have no reference for how long a feature should take to implement in someone else's code for the average Joe who does this for a living.

So I'm left wondering: What advice do you have that could make this all more accessible to someone like me? Do you have a general strategy to get started? How long does it take you from start to finish? And if you run into issues, where do you seek help without nagging the devs about their code who may take too long to respond to be of use?

Many thanks for the feedback in advance!

I've played a bit of ad LB in other seasons and I want to try it out again. I remember I've also faced an obnoxiously unlikable Ivern, and a bursty ad Neeko that was good. Do you have any fun builds for this round? I'd love to try new stuff out.

 

Ashton Forbes, a healthcare IT consultant turned UFO/UAP proponent, gained attention for promoting videos claiming Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared due to alien interference, despite evidence debunking the footage. Later, Forbes fell victim to a $3,000 scam involving fake evidence supporting his beliefs, but continued to assert a conspiracy against him.

 

You go in blind, you get a mage and no matter what you do, if the enemy team is half competent, they steam roll the mages even if you have an adc that just tickles them.

What is your strategy? I can't seem to beat them. I just got beat by a full tank LUX because our team lacked damage somehow even though we itemized against her and some off tank Yone. And these are off-meta. The meta ones are even harder to beat.

What do I do? Pls halp.
