So I’m bitter about the Slog settlement because I’ve done so many Minute Men quests and I’ve never gotten the Slog. I did Arlen’s quests and I’ve never gotten the Slog. My map says there’s a freaking supply line set up to the Slog and yet I’m not allied to it as a settlement.
I have literally no other settlements to get except the Slog and for some reason I can’t.
In Ascension canon, Cailan’s name basically means ‘Descendant of Calenhad’ in the old Alamarri tongue.
He got his name because his parents wanted to solidify, as firmly as possible, that he was, indeed Calenhad’s heir and the rightful future king of Ferelden.
In Ascension canon, Alistair’s name means ‘Defender of men’. But neither Fiona, or Duncan, who picked his name knew that.
He got his name because Fiona didn’t know any Fereldan names. She let Duncan, who was half-Fereldan name him. Duncan named him after a dog a neighbor had when he was a child.
naming a child after a dog is the most fereldan thing ive ever heard of
If Hogwarts is the finest, high class school for witches and wizards I’d love to see a spinoff movie of one of the more ghetto, inner-city magic schools.
Defense Against the Dark Arts is taken more seriously.
Hello, my name is Strong Female Character, and my secret power is reaffirming the heterosexuality of the disproportionately male cast.
Hello, my name is Slash Shippers, and my job is to dismiss female characters that might get in the way of my non-canon ship and then insist that what I’m doing is called activism.
So I‘ve got a cold and I decided to walk my dog to get out, get some fresh air. We get back and my dog needs fresh water, I go to get his bowl but what is there beside it? One of those stinkbug bastards. I grab a glass, some paper, and scoop him up to take him outside. The nearest door is the one to my construction zone of a porch.
Here is my folly.
Our porch was old, rickety, so my dad has been working on it piece by piece when the weather and time permits. Currently the stairs are gone, they were torn down before Christmas. It hangs out over our walk-out basement, making it a little over a story high.
I go outside to the porch, release the bug then turn around to go back inside. The door has locked itself. It’s one of those demon locks to feels unlocked from the inside, but locks as soon as you step outside.
I’m locked outside on a porch with no stairs and no one is going to be home for at least five hours, maybe more, without my phone. I flip out. I look around for anyone around to wave down for help, I check the windows, I try to wrench open the locked door, my dog who knows how to open doors stares at me through the glass.
My first thought is to take the blankets from the porch and try to make a rope to climb down, but they don’t seem sturdy enough. Hanging over the ledge I think, let’s be smart about this. I’ve got one body and I’m home alone on a Monday when everyone around will be at work.
That’s when I realize there’s like a million cushions on our porch furniture. So I drop all of these cushions down into one big pile, stare over the edge and pray for 30 minutes. One side of the pile has the brick patio and my dad’s construction equipment, another has wood chips and a spiky bush, the other soft grass and safety.
I jumped, banged my ankle on the porch post on the way down, then rolled off the pile into the grass, shaken up but okay.
Look, I’m not an athletic person, I didn’t climb a lot of trees as a kid, so this was a big freakin deal to me.
i think that we need to keep that far away from children.
please call them pokemon sm for official things and stuff?
i mean, we never included the & before (rby, gsc, rse, dppt, hgss, bw, b2w2, xy, oras) so it’s really obviously a sex joke
and since the pokemon franchise is made for kids, its very inappropriate for older fans (ESPECIALLY adults) to make it into a sex joke..
i dont want children to be banned from playing pokemon because their parents see so many people calling it pokemon S&M.. please don’t take children’s media away from them.
Exactly! This is really important. please be considerate of younger fans. Act with decency when it comes to something explicitly aimed at children.
I’ve seen some people calling it “psm” for pokemon sun and moon. i know it sounds close to psmd (pokemon super mystery dungeon), but it should work just the same. Let’s keep things clean and safe for the kids!
Children shouldn’t be on fucking Tumblr in the first fucking place, holy shit.
They shouldn’t even be on the internet unsupervised. It’s not my job to police myself to protect somebody’s shitty fucking kid, nor is it anybody else’s except for the parent.
I fail to see who this announcement would even benefit unless somebody is making these jokes in front of children IRL, but I think if someone were doing that, they wouldn’t give a shit about your condemnation.
Hey, here’s a thought: let’s stop policing other’s content because some hypothetical child might see it, when they shouldn’t even be seeing it in the first place.
They shouldn’t be on tumblr, but content on tumblr doesn’t stay on tumblr. It’s the internet, anything and everything spreads. How many twitter screenshots have you seen here? I see a few a day, and I see screenshot of tumblr on Facebook more often than I’d like.
You don’t HAVE to “police” yourself, no one is going to force you, and if they or Tumblr did they’d be in the wrong. But this person makes a good point and did it reasonably. It’s worth thinking about, and then you can make the decision for your own blog.
Artist side of tumblr,
Does anyone know of a good stock photo ref site for (mostly) accurate gun combat poses, particularly with female models? I’m going out of my mind searching high and low and only coming up with soft porn and painfully inaccurate results.
Nick is so good at making people want to be better than they are or feel guilty about doing bad things he's such a dad without even doing it on purpose he makes you want to not disappoint him lol
He’s a kind, soft spoken old guy who just wants to see the best in people and keep a sense of justice in an already messed up world. Even after all the cruelty he’s faced and the sheer mental trauma of waking up after the Apocalypse in a trash-heap; only to realize his minds a copy and the Nick Valentine who was a cop and had a fiance named Jenifer Lands wasn’t technically him.
I mean he said himself he was scared, confused and ‘mad as hell’ when he first woke up. Who wouldn’t be? And this was after years and years of being the institutes lab rat, honestly having most of those memories stripped was probably for the best. But just being shown a scrap of human
kindness by a group of settlers was enough for Nick to still believe
there was something to hang on to, and not to let his situation drive him to become something like Kellogg was.
So yeah when I do something bad and this amazing man shows disappointment you bet I feel like crap.
If you go to GMU, I do NOT recommend taking the IT 104 class for your requirement.
1.) It doesn’t teach you anything useful.
2.) The syllabus is condescending and lies to you about what “coding” is to make it’s “non-IT” students feel better about themselves.
3.) TA’s teach the lab and they don’t care if you learn anything or not, instead choosing to rush through the material so they can leave early.
4.) There’s obvious tension between the prof’s and the department. If I had dollar for every time my lecture professor said, “I don’t know, I’m just teaching what the department wants,” or “I didn’t design this lecture,” or “You don’t really need to know all this, just recognize it for the test,” I could earn back what I shelled out for this class.
5.) There’s no consistency or bother to make sure there’s consistency and accuracy.
If you need your IT requirement still, take a different class instead. It sounds like a good idea to take a class that teaches you about basic coding, website building, programs, etc. but that is not what you’ll get with this class unfortunately.
Yeah. But the real sham is that there is a requirement for such courses built into so many non-tech programs. Real IT people are specialists. Nobody really needs an overview course.
GMU touts that it’s important every one of their students leaves the uni “tech literate,” or at least capable of learning about technology. They don’t want anyone to leave and not be prepared, which is admirable, and you’re right that real IT people are specialists, so the idea of an “Intro to IT” is misleading. However, I was actually looking forward to this course because I’m lucky I know how to access the internet, I’m so computer dumb. I wanted to learn the basics of coding, or at least what that even means, and how computers even work so if I go to buy a new computer I know what ROM and RAM are. So far all I can remember is there are 8 bits in a byte. So someone like me that is IT dumb and wants somewhere to start, or least acquire the mental tools to learn later down the road, this class seems like a no-brainer.
I think the real problem though is that, because they require an IT class for non-IT majors, they have to shove so many people into a class and make it at a level everyone can pass that the class gets dumbed down to middle-school level. So maybe not making it a requirement is the solution, I dunno.
when you finish a paper just before the deadline and have no time to edit
the funny part is how obvious this is to so many professors. one semeser I had a professor who understood how much i had to work to pay for school, then commute over an hour to get to class, and he knew most of my work was all-nighters, but he loved my ideas so much that my faulty, raw writing just killed him. So, for my final, he gave me an extra week extension, without my asking, just to see what my work would look like if I took the time to process, digest, and edit. I poured so much into that damn paper to earn what he thought I deserved, and the end result was one of the only perfect paper scores he gave that semester.
