People not reading. I don't even mean fiction, though of course nonreaders are doomed to mundanity...I mean, in a professional context. At my job, I encounter examples daily of some stupid error which could easily have been prevented by simply reading more closely. Yeah, I've said it before, and...

Reporting a crime usually is the right thing...but imagine feeling dirty and ashamed, violated and wronged...and having to then describe to a total stranger all that happened to you, for instance, a cop taking down your statement. Many people would rather not be put through that. There is still...

Those should actually help. I only turn them OFF if I'm at a site which requires popups to operate properly (my phone company website, for instance, when it's bill-paying time).

Nothing to apologize for, WhoseLine. Okay, if school is too difficult for whatever reason...what about volunteering at a local animal shelter? You could get experience caring for critters, and see if it's really what you'd enjoy as a career. Zoos often need volunteer help as well. Have your...

My big frog finished carving our new garden sign! https://goo.gl/photos/wYGwjag9fTZtiVXh9

Friday morning, I dreamt that I and my fiance had pulled into the parking lot of a peanut factory which we'd been hoping to visit for some time. They had a peanut gift shop out front, with tall shrub hedges hemming in the tiny parking lot. (No idea why a peanut factory...though my sweetie does...

Excellent. Is there any show (or shows) in the UK now that already fills that niche? Do you know anyone that might be willing to write, direct, or perform with you to get it started?

Started watching Daredevil on Netflix (first 4 eps of s1 last night). Really enjoying the fight choreography; it's obviously strongly influenced by Korean action flicks like The Raid and Oldboy.

I'm rarely there, and have never posted or edited on the site. Sorry one of the mods is a jerk, Snowthy. I was happily surprised recently to discover that someone on TV Tropes recommended two of my Muppet fics.

Not necessarily. Coping with violence is often too much. Victims may rather avoid discussing their awful experiences at all, ever, rather than remember them...especially publicly.

Dearheart. Pretty much every song ever the Village People sang is about Pride. Yes.

Not sure why it gives you so much trouble. I assume you use adblockers?

She draws, writes, builds puppets, and does amazing cosplay. Go look through the Fanfic and Fan Art threads.

The secret to achieving most of that is just training. Many technical schools offer veterinary tech classes, programming, etc. Research tech schools and community colleges near you!

Yesterday... Knowing we have not one but two completely unstable manchildren with nukes is not comforting. I am reminded of high school during the Reagan & Bush years, when we did seriously contemplate WWIII breaking out between us and Russia. At the time I lived in a city with an Air Force...

Sign up for driving class. Does your school not offer one? If not, plenty of commercial places that do. In most states, your insurance company will give you a discount for going through driver's ed or a similar course, which in the long run will save you or your parents money, and give you...

Much as much of that sucks, at least you have your sweetie, your friends, and your abuelos who all support, respect, and love you. Try to attune yourself more to them and just shut out anyone who doesn't treat you well...family or not!

I'm far from a religious person; for instance, I reject the notion of a patriarchal, anthropomorphic deity. However, I woke up with this song in my head today after the Korean missile scare yesterday. Sometimes you just have to resist the hate, man. And who doesn't dig early Stevie?

Today, slept in, then went out to our garden plot with my sweetie and his brother. The three of us hoed weeds, weeded and tilled the raised beds by hand, assembled another raised bed and spread earth and cow manure in them all. Founds lotsa happy worms! It would have been enough to make...

The homage to "Fear & Loathing" near the beginning is the best part.
