so I opened an account at the credit onion; thanks to whoever suggested the idea to me c:

had an incredibly important revelation about myself that I hope can lead me places

unfortunately, my hands are kind of tied to do anything about it until a thing gets processed

you know what's really hard? drawing hakama

Actually drawing hakama when the wearer is just standing is fine, but try drawing them when the wearer is sitting in a relaxed position

I get called Ma'am a lot, I have a beard.

I have a friend who looked like "stereotypical American Jesus": 6'1", thin, willowy figure, long straight sandy brown hair, and flowing beard.

One Halloween he just borrowed a friend's miniskirt, blouse, leggings, and shoes.

It was awesome seeing men whistle at him from behind and yell things like, "Nice <synonym for donkey>!!!", only to recoil in horror when he turned around to look at them and they saw the beard.

Fun times!

I can't wait until I can grow a beard so I can mess with transphobes just by wearing my usual wardrobe over the usual shape of my chest. >:D

GoatToucher is forbidden from approaching within one astronomical unit of Vulcan due to the enormity of his emotional outbursts.

maybe if i got a pendant of the transgender symbol and wore it I would be a little less likely to be misgendered on a daily basis? idk

in that dream i was also misgendered as well as humiliated, and well that's also fun

our group starts playing at 11 am on a regular basis (when the group is actually active; weve been busy lately). we also tend to stop around 5.

So, your face became Uboa?

hahahahahaha I wish

i had a pretty crappy but very vivid dream in which i discovered that my face had become the face of an extremely gross and horrible meme that I didn't know existed on the internet; there were posts online in which benign photos of me were compared to that meme

As soon as I woke up I actually did some google searches to make sure it didn't exist.

DRAWING THIS IS FUN

on the bright side I have clean clothes again c:

curse my disordered sleep

Everybody has been talking about undertale all of a sudden! It happened really fast.

I started doodling a fanart

my go is still embarrassingly bad

have I really been drawing for over a decade? Such a strange thought.

this is Viz were talking about.

Then again my experience with Viz was mostly Inuyasha--besides flipping the art , changing the shapes of speech bubbles and editing sound effects they didn't really do much of any censorship, and there are scenes with kagome bathing in the nude and so forth.

So the fact that they wouldn't censor Kagome bathing but they'd edit out Kaga's cigarette is weird to me lol

EDIT: and now Sai actually mentions the cigarette in volume 2--this is so weird

lmao and now the next page the line is "put out their gum on a go board" they're really sloppy and inconsistent about it haha

waiting for parent born in 70's to understand this concept

speaking of fanfiction, I started reading a horrible fanfic and stopped in the middle of it. it was that awful

But it was also so awful that it's calling me back.

amphetamines are making the concept of eating unappealing. blech.

My kids (to each other, taking turns): Do you need me to push you towards your dreams.

They then push the other one off the bed.

your kids are an inspiration.

how uncanny that as soon as im called on in class and say something the class immediately murmurs

if I didn't know any better it must be because I said something very unusual and thought provoking but I'm pretty sure it's actually just because I'm pretty annoying and there's really nothing I can do about this.

It actually is a Pretty Bad Thing. I just don't feel pretty bad about it. Also fortunately it's something that can be turned around, assuming I know how to do it (which haha I don't)

I've failed so hard at so many things in my life so far that all things being equal I've evidently learned how to stoically accept failure--It's being berated/insulted/yelled at by a person of authority over me (or at least someone who is sufficiently intimidating) that ruins me usually.

Good luck turning the PBT around.

thanks c:

someone told me not to do it on the critiquecircle forums but she was the same person who thought that the average reader would find "Hamarberi" alienating and/or hard to pronounce so eh

I'm bad at titling stories in modern english for some reason. i always use a relevant foreign language (Old English included) to do it, and it always sounds better in the foriegn language.

I indeed regularly write while naked

It has occurred to me that it isn't so much that horror has no effect on me so much as I have an unusual reaction.

My reaction to something incredibly disturbing is sometimes to be fascinated by it, investigate it, and learn more about it.

I have realized that I have never lived my life in a practical manner and have no intention of doing anything practical with my life either.

My truest aspirations in life are mainly to study old things, dress up like a viking and swing weapons, pet cats, kill nazis and write/draw my stories, none of which adds up to a practical living, since the life of an anthropologist is hard.

Oh well! This hole was made for me!

Also, economics, accounting, and finance are two VERY different things.

Can we talk stone cutting, I could use someone to talk stone cutting with.

Sure thing. cutting is what it is called when you place a stone between groups of your enemies stones so as to prevent the enemy from connecting them and forming a stronger group. it's pretty useful for eating into weak boarders on territories, and making it harder for enemy groups to live.

this documentary is decent as historical fiction, but I wouldn't show it in an anthropology class as a means of study

Which documentary?

I don't know, I only saw the second half of it and never heard the title

It was mostly a story about a fictional group of hunter gatherers in ice age europe with occasional clips of interviews from anthropologists. So mostly historical fiction.

I read it as more "this is all I have to tell you in this limited environment, if you want more info you'll have to go into an in-depth educational study".

That works

Partially. And also: you seem curious and are asking the right questions. I always thought Econ would be dull, but the more I learn the more fascinated I become about how it all works. If you're curious, dive in - the more you learn, the more questions you will have.

Like vikings! or go!

(Oh crap I just put go on the same level as vikings in my interests. I'll have to become an amateur dan now)

And tacticslion favorites posts because theyre tacticslion.

I have so many reasons why I favorite posts.

Sometimes it's simply agreeing.

Sometimes it's because "you have a good point" even if I don't necessarily agree. Kind of a "pay attention to this person" signal.

Sometimes it's because it made me laugh.

Sometimes it's because I want to find the post again later. (Though Lists are better for that.)

And sometimes I'm not exactly sure why but it feels like the right thing to do.

Yep a lot of those are also reasons for me.

Also it's a social media habit I developed.

I realized that one of the reasons why I favorite posts a lot is because it's a way of me saying "i'm cool with your post" because my responses are sometimes so flat in tone they might read like I disapprove of the post when I really don't

In Go there is a proverb that you should lose your first 100 games as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, you only get one life.

Erm. The vast majority of people in the Western world work for profit. They spend their money on living. Mostly shoes and burritos.

Except for those of us who work in finance. We convert the profits into bricks of $100 bills and use them for kindling.

shoes and food and so forth are expenses, I wouldn't consider those expenses part of the profit.

why do they say over and over on ebay for this type of go board that the board has 18x18 lines when in the picture it is clearly 19x19? I can only think of several possibilities:

Manufacturers originally reported the board being 18x18, either as a typo or because they might not actually know anything about go counted the spaces instead of the lines; and this was repeated by people who don't know anything about go. Since this is a cheap magnetic board with polypropylene pieces this is possible.

Having a fanfic idea but needing to finish watching/reading the original story first

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm so financially ignorant that I couldn't tell you what makes a credit union different from a bank or a credit card company. :Þ

I'm sure Orthos or someone else will correct me with the finer details, but:

A bank provides a full suite of financial services (checking account, savings account, loans, etc.) and is a for-profit organization. They have the advantage of being ubiquitous. Everywhere you go in the U.S., you'll find a Bank of America or a Wells Fargo.

A credit union is a nonprofit bank. At least that's my impression. And you have to somehow qualify to join. The advantages are lower fees and better interest rates because they're not so worried about their profit margin. The disadvantages are that branches are few and far between, and most banks will charge you a fee if they have to deal with one, because they don't like them.

A credit card is just a company that will loan you money at a huge interest rate on your honesty alone. They make money two ways: They skim 1.5% of all transactions (paid for by the merchant), and they charge you around 15% annual interest on any money you don't pay back at the end of the month. They can be awesome (we get 1% of our purchases back in "Disney Dollars" from our Chase Disney card), but if you don't pay off the balance each month, it's painful.

cool!

I found a credit union that's for state employees in my state, for which I think I qualify as a student employee at my state university.

aww my university had a student-run credit union but it closed in 1992. RIP

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm so financially ignorant that I couldn't tell you what makes a credit union different from a bank or a credit card company. :Þ

I work in accounting and I still manage to find it surprising that people still use physical checks these days.

Once in a while it happens.

I opted out of direct deposit (for now) for the simple reason that I don't have a functional bank account.
