I hit words at random on iOS 8’s new predictive text feature so I could see what type of sentence my phone thinks I’m likely to say, and
People who take stellar photos of their art:
How you do???
Seriously, I try to take pictures of my art that has a white background and it doesn’t matter if it’s in direct sunlight, overcast light, indoor light, etc., the white is ALWAYS gray. And I try to edit that out on GIMP or whatever and it never works. It just makes the colors garish and I lose all my midtones.
Any advice or spells I could use?
Holy crap guys. Guys. There’s an audio “Sleepy Hollow” book narrated by Tom Mison, who plays Ichabod Crane on Fox’s “Sleepy Hollow” show. This is beautiful because… his voice. *TEARS OF JOY*

Current mood. Needs more #mushrooms. My drawing prof called it morbidly whimsical and a guy in the class asked how I could do such a terrible thing to such a pretty girl! Pfft…

I found my old camera (finally) and decided to clean it’s memory card, but oh look! A nice picture of my brother and I from the Marine Corps Ball last year.
roccondil asked: Seriously context is everything... Especially in the Bible! Christ rebuffed the woman to show the Jews an example of how they acted, and that it was wrong; at the same time he have the woman a challenge of faith to overcome.
Exactly! Then there was when Jesus died on the cross, who was it that was first, “Oh crap… we dun goofed!”? A centurion. A Roman. He was the first to recognize the atrocity. If this is supposed to be the story of the savior of the Jews, for the Jews, why would a gentile care? Because his recognition was symbolic of the fact that now gentiles could be saved, not just the Jews.
In better news, for art critique day someone brought in this adorable, nicely detailed drawing of a spider and she and I and our professor all bonded over our love of spiders, the Spiderbro meme, and stuffed spider toys.
Had to lay some smack down in my Humanities class discussion board because apparently no one bothered to actually read the whole reading.
“Jesus was discriminatory and only preached to the Jews, he turned a Canaanite woman away refusing to heal her daughter.”
BUT IF YOU READ THE NEXT. DARNED. VERSE. HE DOES ACTUALLY HEAL HER.
And behold, aCanaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
How do you miss that??? Is your head so far up your thesis’ butt that you will ignored THE NEXT VERSE?
I don’t understand how anyone that has worked in retail can think it’s okay to be an asshole to other people in retail.
There was this time I went to McDonalds for breakfast and asked for the sausage and egg snack wrap, but they gave me the McMuffin instead.
I went up to the cashier, and apologized for bothering them because it was rush hour and explained to them politely that there had been a mix up. I also asked if I could be refunded the difference because the McMuffin was more than the snack wrap.
The lovely cashier apologized for the inconvenience and gave me a full refund on the McMuffin. After she gave me my snack wrap, I reminded her that I hadn’t yet paid for it, and she replied “No worries, you can have that for nothing, sorry for the mix up.”
I was almost speechless, I even asked “Are you sure?” because I felt bad just taking it. Seriously, I wouldn’t have minded paying.
But it also reminded me that some places do still care about polite customers, and that they don’t just let the rude customers have their way all the time, because that is one thing that ticks me off more than anything - the way we ‘reward’ rude customers. The way we give into their demands. They way we give them what they want even when they’ve just treated the staff like shit.
We should not be encourage this sort of behaviour, we should be thinking of the polite customers and encouraging good manners.
It’s so true, I’ve had so many people try to play the “you got my order wrong” card to get free drinks and it’s mind-boggling. If I get really nice people and it’s not busy, I always ask them if they want an extra topping or to try a sample of a drink before ordering. Lord knows that I want those nice people to come back.
