>>810895 It moves at a trickle at times but the story arcs as full, complete arcs are fantastic, and it's got some absolutely insane worldbuilding. Honestly you might dig it, it's got some Hunter x Hunter vibes at times and a kinda sexy male MC. At least once he grows up.
My lecture Wednesday afternoons on the Gothic novel is always so NOISY before the professor comes in. As he remarked two or three weeks ago, you really can hear the class' raucous energy from way down the hall as you approach it. It's kinda funny.

It's rare I finish these in-class essay midterms before the clock's up. Even rarer I'm not the last person left writing at the end. Came as a bit of a surprise to me.
I mean I still wrote under the minimum page length for the essay but I'm hoping the fact that I write really cramped compensates for that.

There's a gap between that and pushing criminal charges. >>810988 My readout on it, and if you look at the wording of the laws, is that it's all technically illegal any depiction of minors but it's pretty low down on the priorities of law enforcement
Especially when you have lots of actual pedophile shit like degenerates sending crypto to the Philippines for live shows of child abuse They're not going to waste time and money tracking down people who got trolled into watching Boku no pico

Oh but gila monsters will bite down really hard onto you and are hard to remove, they will also chew you a little bit. One good wy to get them to let go is to submerse them in water.
i was hearing that song in my dream, but i haven't listened to it in probably a decade i wonder why it came up
Anno
I always liked the song as a kid so I'll play it every now and then. I think the band my friend's in that I've gone to a couple lives of did a cover of it at one show. Which was a neat surprise to me.
ive been so tired i couldn't see straight last night it felt like my eye was going lazy and it hurt to try to focus on stuff i lost my balance a few times trying to walk too but i wasn't drunk or anything, just tired i dont even remember falling asleep but i wish i'd done it with another blanket or something
did i miss anything notable in anime
Anno
Probably just Itai Iya, which was a consistently pleasant episode as usual. Everything else was kinda the lesser shows of the season.
oh so that's who sings that song and also that's the title mystery solved

a lot of people seem to think it's a '70s song for some reason??? i dont see how i'm in an advantaged position having been alive when it came out so i remember though but it still sounds as '90s as you can get to me

i think im gonna have to can this person i gave them a second chance and extended deadline but i have a feeling they're gonna squander it i dont get paid enough to deal with terminating people
JaPAN
usually people pay pretty well for you to terminate people they don't like
i wouldn't mind, if im getting paid for it this is just an applicant though who just signed a contract and is still doing the onboarding they didn't put in the effort so i gave them a chance to review their work and fix it
it's possible that i have excessive expectations. i dont really know since ive never seen other people's work maybe i underestimate my own work and don't realize that i'm doing an exceptional job so im setting the bar too high

>>811344 This was kind of my frustration looking through some -looking through the vanilla magic classes for Thirteenth Age. They seem to predominantly do away with some of the standard magic mechanics of tabletop games and do this weird "Everything's daily" thing. I kinda much prefer the D&D-y style spell slots mechanic.
Biden really addressing all those core issues in life. >>811346 Yeah, it's weird. I can get making some of the bigger feeling spells and abilities Daily, but something like Bless is a Daily even though it's just +2 attack to an ally or +1 to three? But then there's a thing with one of the Invocations paired with its feat where every encounter I can add the Escalation Die to an ally's AC, PD, and MD if I take away the reroll from everyone that still has one? The reroll being the basic function of the Invocation. Meaning I can Invoke the Domain, let everyone but me use their rerolls and then just sac my own reroll to make Big Beefy Boy Tank. Every. Single. Fight.

Also it might be too late but her neck is really off-centre for her head. It looks like she's in the middle of that dance move where you shift your head back and forth.
Either the neck needs to be widened on the right (our right) or the head needs to be moved right (her right). Of the two I'd vouch for widening the neck since it's pretty slight compared to her broad shoulders but either/or would work.
I don't have my tablet immediately on hand so this is a lazy job, but does make the neck's off-centre-ness more measured, I think. The eyes are a really, really useful device for measuring the facial symmetry.
I feel bad for ruining my parent's holiday. They were planning on going to Sri Lanka for a few weeks but they called it off Because of me I haven't been doing so great recently and I *there have been some visible signs.
I suspect they're worried I might kill myself if I'm left by myself.
Anno
Do you think you might've if you were left to yourself?
>>811502 i did a combination of moving the eye in a little and making the neck a little larger. It still doesn't line up perfectly but I guess I can hate that some other day
Anno
That looks way better! Don't get too worried about it; I'm in particular super anal about details like symmetry and I have to remind myself that it's fine if things are asymmetrical a bit. I was starting to get a bit worried I'd been too needly with the comments hah hah
Koi
yeah, it's just that when i tried to make it perfectly symmetrical it looked TOO large and that's when I realized I could bring the eye in a little it's all good, I like it like this
Anno
It's really annoying for me when drawing, since realistically, the neck's width generally lines up with the ears on a real human body. But in Japanese-styled stylization that almost NEVER ends up looking nice. But I'm also trying to envision a head attached to the neck in three dimensions and without mimicking the realistic notion of one it always ends up feeling wonky.
Koi
the neck always bothers me because it's just "where? Where does it GO?" and then I just give up and move on and then it's like oh okay, I know where to put it now
Anno
Aaaahh gosh the more I see of the new Animal Crossing the more excited I am. Everything about it is just so absolutely POLISHED
Was hoping to send my dissertation out tonight but I've been working nonstop for a week every day I got no motivation I'm burnin out If I had motivation and could focus I could get this done in a few hours There's really not that big of a difference between sending it out tonight and sending it out tomorrow or Sunday night though So maybe it's okay if I slack off a little today
yeah, i think i'll just organize my work and take a rough inventory of what i need to do so i can get it started tomorrow more easily
for some reason if i wake up after 6am i become essentially incapable of focusing my sleep schedule's been fucked all week because my dissertation chair got me working until like midnight and then i can't just sleep if i don't relax first so i end up fucking around for an hour
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
really all i have is the results and the discussion which is really easy to write albeit time consuming because i have to format tables and graphs and shit like that the only complicated thing i need to report is a big manova with a three way interaction
i gave this person a generous deadline and they screwed it up with subpar work i told them to take another day to double-check it and extended their already generous deadline with a ton of wiggle room, basically spoonfeeding them a path to succeeding, and they've squandered it again
i said to email me with any questions or concerns, and they never did, so there's no reason for them to have the work be insufficient im really aggravated by how hard i tried for them. i feel like im the one getting burned now i gotta terminate them unless they get this stuff to me in the next minute and it's spectacular
that's pretty frustrating sometimes it feels like the more work you put in to helping someone, the less they appreciate it like you help them along because you want to help them do what they need to do well but they see it as a sign that you'll help no matter what and that you're nice enough not to give them consequences
i'm sure on some level i'm really just helping myself making sure i offer sufficient opportunity so that, if i have to terminate them, i don't feel guilty about it or maybe the underlying drive is the same either way and it's just a matter of perspective that's putting an arbitrary label on it
it's pretty disappointing though. im only onboarding one person at a time, so it feels like a wasted week, and wasted time for me, wasted money for the company companies waste money though, that's just what they do
The way I see it is that I'm helping people do what they need to do effectively because if they can do that, then I don't have to do it. I want to train people into people I can trust to do what I need them to do so I don't have to waste my valuable time on things that other people can do and spend time on things that only I can do. I care about them doing well for themselves but primarily, my biggest priority is making sure things are going well for me so I can do what I need to do.
Yeah, that can be pretty disappointing. It feels bad to have that situation because it can look lie a failure on your part sometimes even when you did everything right.

im doing more than just recruiting and onboarding. im designing the onboarding system, so to speak
the last thing they were doing was a lot more brute force, like blast advertising, then corraling the applicants who met a certain threshold, then funneling them down to the good ones. it was really time-expensive and financially expensive, and i felt like i could pull a lot better and more consistent results with a more appropriate target population, a very small amount of personal vetting, and extra individual focus on onboarding
to design a system that can do a "slow trickle" approach to new recruits with minimal manual work and it'd be working out perfectly fine if this person wasn't slacking off maybe they're actually trying really hard and it's just my expectations are too high. maybe i'm absurdly good at this stuff and just think i'm average, so i'm incorrectly flagging everyone else as below average/insufficient idk
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
have you reached out to them?
月
yesterday when they submitted the stuff, i said to look over it and have it back to me by noon today it's noon:20 now im not worried about the lateness honestly but considering it only takes about an hour or two to do the entire project, i dont think they're taking advantage of the opportunities im presenting to them
idk if they're like a single mom working three jobs with five kids or something though but if they can't commit the time needed for the job, then that's an objective barrier right?
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
unless they didnt realize theyd have to move time around or something maybe they can make adjustments for it but it might be an objective barrier too

I've been playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE for a while now. I only get like an hour or two in most days since I'm pretty busy but I like it a lot. It started off slowly and I don't think it's as refined as a Persona or SMT game but it's still pretty fun with good characters and a decent story. And good music. At its core it's kind of a story about self-growth which I like.
no haha. it's someone's application test i get weird stuff like this sometimes by foreigners the other person did good enough on the test to pass through that first entry barrier

>>811644 My dad is older at 1960 but both my parents were younger kids on the -in the family. My dad's dad was the one that escaped Poland as the Nazis were occupying it and ended up serving in the Polish subdivision of the British army. My mom's family comes from a farming background up in rural Ontario though and that probably also explains the larger family.
My parents waited until they were like early-thirties before they started having kids so that also probably fills in a lot of the time between WWII and now.

i was almost about to date someone who is 23, we got along real well and i understood them well and everything but like, the more time we spent together the more they felt like an imouto or something and it just didn't feel right
they're still a close friend, but like i dont wanna be alongside someone who's still figuring themselves out ive already gone through that myself. those people deserve someone to have that journey with and i deserve someone to have a different flavor of journey with

Jelly beans were on sale at the bulk goods store I go in to every few months to get candy by the gram. I stocked up on more of them than I would rather admit. Makes for a nice sugar fix.
I like pistachios and I like eyes cream but I don't really like them together. But I also don't really like nut or nut-adjacent stuff in it, the cream and cold temperature always makes them taste and feel funny.
Yeah, it helped me get through the first year. But you have to be really careful with it because a lot of people use it the way they used alcohol, just to hide from their problems. And they end up addicted and kratom has pretty bad withdrawals.
>>811705 >>811704 it just doesn't seem like it makes me feel "high" or intoxicated i guess it does help me relax and numbs muscle aches a little but not like real pain killers

it's not a high but it helps with anxiety and depression by numbing
i overdosed on it only once lol I didn't throw up bc i lied in bed motionless for six hours until it wore off
kratom just seems like it stabilizes me gives me an appetite and stabilizes my mood
i still think it's most valuable as harm reduction, keeping your cravings in check it doesn't seem too abusable in its own right

it seems like it's the only thing getting me through this last 8-ish months of being unmedicated though, and ive been off benzos for a year and a half it's possible that it's normalcy that i'm feeling and im ascribing those effects to the kratom, but even if that's the case, im okay with that it's helping me stay there and keeping my neurotic self somewhat contained

Maybe that'd change with schooling, but it seems like a waste just to go to school to find out I'm already right. >>811715 Significantly.

>>811716 As someone who studies in creative fields, schooling won't teach you how to be creative and innovative. What it would do, however, is push you to master the skills and make the foundations of the field so second-nature to you that you could understand on the fly how the various components of your dish cooperate to create the sensation of the finished product.
And honestly just possessing that would be enough for a culinary career. The additional advantage to that would be since you don't have to spend time thinking on how these various parts work together, your brain would be free to consider innovation and "what ifs" that people without a comfort and familiarity have with the field.
But really, while I don't have a particular familiarity with the cooking skill field, I would assume most people that go study im cooking school don't end up doing anything innovative or groundbreaking. They just attain skills at a high level of polish and maybe over years of cooking develop some flairs here or there. It's less about pushing the boundaries of the field and more just existing in a high level within it.

>>811716 If you want to go further into this field I'd suggest moving to vegas at some point. Cooks and servers are unionized there and get benefits. I have a friend who works in the industry that just moved there.

I didn't mean for that to be so long winded the tl;dr is not being creative is fine, I think instead you should ask yourself if being a high-skilled chef is something you'd be interested in making a career out of.
>>811718 >>811721 I don't know, I feel like that's all just things I'd learn and gain from just years of experience, which I'm already six deep in. I guess I'd learn more about pairing ingredients and such in culinary school, but I also feel like I can just learn those things from talking with my chef or sous-chef. I honestly feel like he's only asking me because I know he's gotten tired of how lazy and intermittenly how much of a fuck up the sous-chef is and he's hoping for a replacement. I guess going into culinary school would be just as beneficial or not as my current plan of going into trade school for a trade I haven't even considered yet. >>811720 I'm not much worried about unions or anything.

You're probably absolutely correct, nothing you can learn in school isn't something you can find and acquire through independent study, or in culinary fields, practice . The advantage to a school environment is that there's direction and structure to the learning, which for -most- people, is a boon for learning at a faster pace. The second advantage is of course the dumb, arbitrary piece of paper you get for finishing the program. From the sound of it, your chef seems to have a hard time getting hirees that aren't accredited to the position? Or would it just be you're not quite at the sous-chef level yet and need a bit more skill development? But either way you could work in kitchens your whole career, and likely build skills and gain references that would let you move up the chain of kitchen staff, and maybe end up in a relatively good placement over time. Having studied the trade though, you'd probably have an easier time with it though. All theorectical though, unfortunately. It's how it -should- happen, but eh, you know. Skilled cuisine is as much a trade as anything else you can study in a trade school so if it's something you think you could have a persistent passion for, maybe it's a safer bet than something you haven't even tried yet though. You have an advantage here since you're already familiar and it's probably easier for you to envision yourself doing it for another ten, twenty, or even your entire working career years, and seeing if that's a feeling you're comfortable with.

>>811723 Well I meant that they get paid better and get health insurance.
>>811724 Yeah, I guess that's true. It's probably a lot different from 'regular' schooling too, I guess. Maybe I wouldn't hate it like I did college. Also true, I didn't really think about how the degree itself just looks compared to raw experience in people's minds. I feel my vision on those two comparatively is skewed in that sense because of the sheer number of people I've seen come and go in a week's time through the years. I don't think he's every really looked for hirees for the position. To my understanding it hasn't really become an issue until really recently. But it's also that I'm almost certainly not at a sous-chef level, at least not that he knows. He was skeptical about hiring me to begin with, even just for dishwashing, because he wanted somebody with more experience than just my six years, I guess. He's apparently been nothing but impressed with me, though. Culinary fields is probably where I'll just spend my life since it's so easy and I don't have to build a new 'skill' set for it like I would for anything else, but I'm not sure how much I'll aspire to climb the ladder, I guess. I've got bad issues with just getting complacent. >>811725 In terms of pay, I don't know about insurance, I'd probably be better off somewhere like New York.
I don't want to app shame but parents have been able to deal with their babies for like hundreds of thousands of years without apps. I guess ttthe point of apps like this is to make stuff easier ...

>The earliest known reference to a vending machine is in the work of Hero of Alexandria, an engineer and mathematician in first-century Roman Egypt. His machine accepted a coin and then dispensed holy water.[2] When the coin was deposited, it fell upon a pan attached to a lever. The lever opened a valve which let some water flow out. The pan continued to tilt with the weight of the coin until it fell off, at which point a counterweight snapped the lever up and turned off the valve.
