it's a good feeling unless you can't print otherwise and the teacher is an asshole.

I had that once in highschool, so no Dean to escalate to or anything. principal took his side. the problem was, due to medical issues, i struggled to get assignments done at home. this class was 90% essays, but it was also just a history class. 100% of the material was covered in the lecture. I'm autistic and tend to remember lectures very well. so, come time for the final exam, one of the only actual in class exams, and i get nearly a perfect score. i knew the material, i just had other struggles with getting the papers done.

he used my struggle with the rest of the class as the only proof he needed to get me expelled. i had to finish my schooling at an alternative school, which was way way better anyway and honestly wasn't a setbacm in the end. it sure set the tone for my relation with authority though.

we still have a couple of lemon giving phrases that survive "when life gives you lemons". "looks like that car you bought is a lemon"

lemons are sour instead of sweet like most fruit. my guess is that a lemon is a thing to generally make your day/life worse, especially if it seemed like a good thing at first.

makes sense in the context of a "confirmed bachelor". he's giving that lemon to a stork. he's not going to have children. someone married him and he's not going to have children. back in the day that would be seen as defeating the point of marriage, though the real implication is he's gay and married for a beard.

in the context of other relationships or a breakup they thought they were dating someone for keeps, turns out they weren't worth it. they were a lemon, looked sweet but tasted sour when bitten into.

haha, i did take 4 pictures until i was thought that the show would be recognizable 😅

holy shit, i forgot that was Colin Farrell! i'm a big fan of him in mcdonagh movies.

i was only kind of into the new Batman with the riddler, but the vibe feels right for it to be more of a mob story instead.

love the cinematography. I'm a videographer myself and happen to own and love one of the old lenses they use a lot on this show.

one episode isn't enough to make any judgements, but I can say that I'm looking forward to the next episode.

all of the "real" Martial arts from back before guns were about using weapons. those aren't really practiced as much anymore because they're all useless in the face of firearms anyway. why spend years training with a knife when the same time could be spent training with a gun. if combat effectiveness is your goal then you need to learn modern combat techniques.

that said, there's plenty to be learned from it, and it's not like it can't help you in a fight. but as another commenter said, the real way to win every fight is by avoiding them. so really the best thing to learn is de-escalation and recognizing danger.

generally, when one has a large dildo collection, very few are self purchased.

regardless of gender, those who enjoy dildos are likely to draw thirsty motherfuckers. those thirsty folk tend to buy them many dildos.

it was commonly held at the time that we needed more grain. since then we have come to understand that is not true.

you think they'll resurrect scanners? i loved those stupid things. it was the same appeal of gacha games without being so greedy.

their point is that this is a game with maybe 50 still image assets and absurdly simply gameplay. it could be like 2MB, but it was likely built on preexisting assets and code that don't try to be lightweight.

the point is that 10 years ago the exact same game would have been like 25MB at most. I'm not familiar enough with the changes in the tools used by Indy devs in the time, but my guess is that it's where you'll find the reason.

it's not that men disagree with you that they hold power, people just disagree that any religion would be helpful regardless of who led it.

it's like bread. if you only ever saw white bread on sandwiches you might be confused to hear about someone loving a good sourdough or rye from the bakery.

stopped by my favorite birding spot after work and had these fellas fly in over my head. guest appearance by a great blue heron.

shot on sony a7siii with a tamron 150-500. all handheld and after the sun was behind the mountains, so you'll have to excuse some shakiness and focus issues.

music: creep - original song by Radiohead - performed by scott bradlee's post modern jukebox.

I'm sick as hell right now and this pulled up right outside my front door last night. stepped out to take a picture because nothing felt real for a moment. then i started coughing and kind of regretted it. worth it?

 

took this riding into Milwaukee the other day when it was foggy as hell over like a third of the county...
