PD.Com: Pretention in a can.
Quote from: The Wizard Joseph on February 26, 2018, 01:18:01 amSo on Wednesday I've got an appointment with the local DVR. Hopefully this will mean I find some sort of employment. I'm in a tricky position. I need to either find part-time work that will pay me very little so that I can keep my insurance benefit or a full-time job that I can handle that's got benefits sufficient that I won't lose out on getting my pills. Also going to be riding the bus a lot more since my car doesn't work. It's going to be an interesting challenge. I'll get used to it eventually but in the meantime I literally have almost no idea where the routes go. I have a bus schedule map but I've never been good at map reading or planning a trip. Starting next month I'm going to buy a bus pass and just ride the thing as much as I can until I learn the place by sight."we have a mental health problem in our nation""so...free or heavily subsidized mental health treatment for at the very least the lower income brackets so they can be 'contributing' members of society?"'Haha NO!! You clearly are lazy and are using your 'illness' as an excuse for not working hard. If you want mental health care, try being wealthy. Peasant."Also, bus routes are clearly designed by evil or senile wizards for arcane purposes. your plan of riding a lot to familiarize yourself with the routes, stops, and timing is my method.Quote from: Cainad (dec.) on February 26, 2018, 04:37:14 pmAlso uhhhh good job everyone on... not dying? Apparently there's been some near misses. Yikes.Not being dead is great.

He dictated a lot of those last books because he was better able to concentrate and keep his flow verbally, and showed good clarity right up towards the end while doing that, I'd like to think that it relaxed him in a confusing difficult time.

He was building a very rich world right up to the end. There's even a bit in there about a goddess Pepina, she of the apple of discord. It was the most overtly Discordian thing I think in his entire work. He even go so far as to say 'hail Pepina and the occasional Discord'. So I say hail Pratchett!

So I say hail Pratchett!In the Discworld Noir game, you're explicitly "helped" by a priest called "Malacypse" who is the worshipper of the goddess Errata, who presides over misunderstandings, and is considered a trickster goddess. Malaclypse is furthermore obsessed with conspiracy theories.Admittedly, Pratchett didn't write the game, but he did edit it.
Kevin Smith is a national treasure, imho. Glad he beat the reaper this time!

I'll have to look into getting a game system one day and checking it out.
Damnit, baby either has a badass immune system that eats platelets, or one that is too lame and the bone marrow is making defective ones.fuck all the things
Evil doesn't work without good people. Good people will do the most repugnant, nasty shit for what they think are "the right reasons"
Won't know for a month or so what it is. If it's the bad one I'm going to start begging for people's bone marrow.It appears my genes are defective, but in a way that doesn't hurt me, just my kids.
