Getting a little bit more than what I bargained for when i try to be a good member of the community

Some delivery guy who couldn't speak english very well came to my home to deliver something intended for somebody else, and he couldn't get the directions right. I knew the person, so I volunteered to sign for it in my name and walk the package over myself. Not a problem at all, cos it means a leisurely hike for me and I get to be helpful and say hi to someone I hadn't seen in a while. It's not unusual, as letters and small parcels tend to get put in the wrong boxes down my way, I have no problem helping someone not get their new phone or book or whatever lost to a faulty mail system.

And then of course, the guy promptly unloads a bulk order of three massive heavy boxes of god-knows-what at my feet, gets back in his van, drives off, and it immediately starts to rain.

That sounds like something out of a sitcom.

Why though.
She has clothes on under her suit.

Please leave your shitty 12-year-old masturbation fantasies at the door, and out of romhacks, unless they're specifically meant to be porn.
Thanks.

Arpaio getting pardoned for a crime he actually committed that nearly all people agree should be something people get punished for.

The dude was holding people illegally in inhumane conditions under suspicion of being hispanic in the country illegally, and he was ordered to stop.

But he didn't and he became a convicted criminal.

So Trump pardoned him.

Because Arpaio "continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration" by literally causing many people to suffer and/or die. He committed and ordered people to commit awful crimes.

So he got a pardon.

The first pardon of this president.

I hate it.

How fast computers and operating systems become outdated, and how much it costs to always having to buy new ones...it almost gets to be like going to the dentist, or buying tires: well, not as bad as those things, but less exciting as time goes on, and more or less just another expense

I finally got a psychiatrist appointment on the 12th, but now I probably can't go, on top of possibly losing my home. Fuck hurricanes.

Oh, that sucks man. I have family members in the Houston area who were definitely worried about their homes, but thankfully they're ok. Hope yours is ok too.

Coffee has started giving me the these terrible migraines. I lost a whole day being miserable today. It's awful, I like coffee.

I'll have to change my lifestyle or something.

 

Might be the caffeine. I know I get migraines if I go too long without something caffeinated (though they quit after another day). Yes, caffeine is addictive and causes withdrawal symptoms.

Story time?

 

To make a long story short, the corporate HQ got an anonymous tip that there was some kind of conflict in the shop, and decided that since they are a "Southern company" it was safer for them to fire everyone there instead of launching an investigation that could potentially find its way to the press.

Gotta love those corporate, business management types...

Questions on dimensional analysis.

Especially this one that wants me to show one constant in this equation is dimensionaless. And make one of the terms the subject of the equation for the second part.

For the record I've not even covered this related thing to dimensional analysis called the Buckingham pi theorem. I don't think I'll need to know that yet though.

Never liked when companies take something cool as shit they make and then waifu it up with shitty/generic art and the stale obligatory high school setting. 

How do you take something amazing like this.

Dangun-Feveron-arcade-gameplay-screenshot-6.pngfeveron-07.png

And turn it into objectively inferior garbage like this? lol
It's not even the same genre and doesn't share anything in common with it's source material. It's so tasteless. (big image spoiler......I think. Post preview broke.)

Yes, this has anything at all to do with a richly detailed disco themed spaceship shooter. A visual novel about pedo bait waifus with the same face copy and pasted onto each other. "Personified versions of the ships". I believe it.
Comes complete with unnecessary (badly drawn) crotch shots.
Gimme a break, Cave. Get this gross shit out of here. lmao

Jo-Ann's now sucks a bunch of fucking donkey balls. Also, fuck me and fuck my life.

So, there's a meetup at the local Renn Faire tomorrow, which is the last weekend the Renn Faire is happening. Two weekends ago, I went there to do some shopping, looking for a cloak and staff. Cloaks were too expensive, $100 and up. None of the staffs peaked my interest. So I decided to sew my own cloak.

First off, Fuck Jo-Ann's coupons and sales as they are done now. Jo-Ann's is known for good coupon deals. 40% and sometimes 50% off coupons.

Well, the pattern I wanted to get was on sale last week. I went to a local store to find the pattern sold out. Well, I'll be near another store tomorrow, I'll just stop by then. Turns out that pattern sale only went through Wednesday, not until Saturday. It used to be that all the sales would be Sun-Sat, but not anymore.

Then, the fabric I wanted was on sale for 30% off, which means I couldn't use a 50% off coupon on it. Decided to wait until this week to buy the fabric. Fabric was STILL on the lower percentage off through this Wed... so a week and a half. Why the fuck do you have a sale for a week and a half. Ended up biting the bullet and spending $32 on 5 yards of fabric at 30% off, thought it was enough.

So then I printed out an online pattern. Turns out the pattern was for wider fabric than what I had (doesn't help I didn't notice the fabric was supposed to be folded in half lengthwise in the instructions). This means I couldn't make the cloak two layers with the 5 yards of fabric I had, I could only make it one layer. So I find a different pattern online and print that one out. This second pattern ended up requiring 9 yards of fabric, so I had to get more fabric, and it still made a cloak that was only one layer.

So, in other words, had I stuck with the original pattern, it would have required 8-9 yards for two layers. With the second pattern, it required 9 yards, and more wasted fabric, for a one-layer cloak. Too late to change patterns now that I've cut the fabric into pieces. Only good thing is what I made is a bigger and more full 2/3rd circle cloak with more room, and the fabric is hefty enough I can live with one layer for now, and do a lining later, if I do that.


TL;DR:
Anyway, fuck Jo-Ann's for having coupons and sales that end at arbitrary times of the week instead of going the entire week. Fuck these people who put patterns online without explaining what width of fabric the pattern works with considering there are different widths of fabric and any professional pattern indicates the widths it works with. And fuck myself for not using the first online pattern I found, and just making a one layer cloak and worrying about a possible lining later. I would have wasted less money and time.

Also, I still don't have a staff ready, but found a great walking stick in the woods yesterday, I think I'll just cut it to length and worry about carving it later.

And if I ever ask why a two layer cloak can cost $150, when I just spent nearly $50 on ONE LAYER, please slap me.

How education currently works at lower levels + how many people want to change it + how many people actually do anything about it because they think teaching should be apolitical

Education is an institution situated within, defined by, and acted out through our culture that socializes a huge number of people in the way educators define (or fail to). Education is inherently political. Stop letting people tell you not to do what's right.

I hate when I specifically tell someone in a one-on-one conversation that a thing either disinterests me, or I don't like it, and then they proceed to prattle on about it for the next 30 minutes.

That wasn't an invitation, dipshit.
