... man I never made that connection. I thought it was because there was never an explosion smaller than somebodies head. If it doesn't cause a boom it's a gun that shouldn't be in a boomer shooter.

Well what jobs are you thinking about?

  • farmhand fits your description, but they pay less because they don't need skilled workers, anybody with a working body can do it. Can't just drag in a random guy to do your writing, acting, or VFX.

Caravan Palace is so much fun live as well. Whenever they Tour through the US I always try to grab a ticket.

Found a link to the thesis.

So far it requires a spellcheck, a grammar check, An entire paragraph spends way too long setting a premise and then an example that does nothing to its premise. His entire intro was a ramble that confuses me to what the hell this was supposed to be a thesis about.

Like there's a single line that says this essay is about "a set of right-wing intellectuals who have come to be labeled the “Conservative Revolutionaries.”" It took you 2 and a half pages to communicate that to the reader, but I still have no idea

  • Why should I care about this group?
  • Why do you care about this group?
  • "Who have come to be labeled" implies this label has come recently. This was a group from WWII. Why can't you just say called?

He then moves into those questions, briefly, again with just galling grammar scattered around. Acceptable in a first draft but certainly NOT a final.

I had to stop reading about a quarter of the way in. It just reeks of padding. I'm not surprised it's plagiarized, it's entirely quotes and trombone speak.
What the hell did he get as a grade? Even if it wasn't plagiarized it couldn't have been a C.

wandersong is a super simple game that she might be able to play. You play a pacifist bard who just is naive, friendly to a fault. The bard is a male, but the villain, supporting cast, it's quite diverse with some strong females cast in. It's got a pretty good story and a lot of sesame street level lessons on life in there too. Even starts a conversation on what strength truly is. Totally something you should look at.

Slime rancher is another super chill, might actually be able to play herself, game where you do play as a female protaganist, but much lighter on plot than wandersong. You basically farm cute adorable slimes and it's genuinely pretty addictive and super relaxing after a shitty day.

Mirror's Edge you play as a female protagonist. Plot might be a bit steep for her.

If you haven't played through portal 1 or 2 yet, I bet it could be fun. Glados is silly, Chell (who you play but doesn't talk) is female and she can help you with the puzzles a bit.

  • The whole point of a Minnesota flag is to have an easy way to display you're Minnesotan. Literally half of the state flags look the exact same as ours if there isn't a wind blowing, and genuinely that number doesn't go down much even WITH a breeze.
  • If we have something more iconic, noticeable at a glance, it's marketable. Think about Britain's flag on all their tourist merch. Think about the MOA star on everything to do with the mall, think "I <3 NYU" mugs, shirts, hats.

Make it even better, instead of keeping it a flat surface, cut a slope down towards the stairs. Then you get to wander around the model. See it from not just several, but dozens of points of view both vertically and horizontally. Really turn it into a unique part of the house.

Maybe to power one of those dancing flowers, instead of solar use muscle!

Wait that was real?!? I thought that was satire!!!

Jesus Christ that's the kind of name an angsty teenager gives their life changing app.

It's the most milk toast edge you could possibly give a website.

The only time that name is acceptable is for a website of nautical pirates.

How did he even get the domain from the edgelord who had it before who refused to get into myspace and decided to build his own website from scratch?

How many times did he have to misspell twitter before he put his foot down like this?

But if X is twitter, how will he mark his emerald mines on his map at home?

PSA:
Edge is also what you should use whenever you're making a public presentation and need to open a browser.

Why? Because you never use edge, therefore autocomplete is almost empty which means you can type:

  1. x
  2. p
  3. h
  4. r

With full confidence that NOTHING will appear that you will not want public.

That's not true at all. If 20% of people wrote in Mickey Mouse for their vote, you can be damn sure both parties would be announcing their presidential runs at Disneyworld.

Even if a third party doesn't win, it's in the major party's best interest to adopt policies from that party in order to snipe voters from that third party because:

  • That party knows those voters will show, it's a good investment.
  • The other party might snipe those voters instead.
  • If neither party adopts anything from that party, the party might grow.

Voting isn't just a form of choosing a candidate, it's a form of protest as well. One that takes far less time than a week of picketing. One that's very powerful as well. 20% of people willing to show up to the polls, and vote nothing... that's 20% of people willing to vote for the right person should they come along.
