Every space wizard needs a magic wand!

I’ve only played Witcher 3, and I thought it was obvious that it’s Ciri’s story being told from the perspective of the supporting cast, and that is an incredibly cool literary device.

At least nobody would accuse you of half-assing it

Do you have unprompted creativity in other areas?

Like, I struggle with traditional writing, but I make miniature dioramas. It’s occasionally unprompted; I recently bought frozen shrimp and thought the lid was sorta window-shaped, so now I’m making it into a window seat for a 1:12 scale treehouse library diorama. I wasn’t planning the diorama first, the whole scene came to mind unbidden, and now I’m making it.

I feel like it’s the same thing as what you’re describing, but I don’t know if you see it as different or not.

It was this:

Someone seeing a banal object, devoid of story and history and just merely existing, and then succumbing to emotions over loose connections to human characteristics is what I don’t relate to.

Seeing creativity as “succumbing to emotions” sounds like you think its a bad thing that your parents told you not to do.

Yeah, I don’t like the Dems, but I like the idea of a single party Republican state even less.

Its sort of sounding like somebody got irritated with your creative process when you were a kid, and now you’re trying to reconcile that with other people being allowed to emote and create “for no reason”.

Yeah, its irritating how instruction manuals forget that people don’t know.

Its ridiculous that they don’t explain how the “default” is. Needle at its zenith, so everything is lined up and accessible, and presser foot up so the tension is disengaged. I’ve taught a few friends how to sew, you’re not the only one with these struggles.

Clearly you are trying to be nice by lying about how mad you are

I don’t think I’ve ever seen my job in a movie. The only place I could imagine industrial embroidery ever showing up on screen would be as the setting for a chase scene or something.

You wouldn’t be calling it “slop” if you thought a human made it in photoshop, which means your judgement isn’t actually based on the quality of the image.

I remember patty-cake games being super popular in elementary school, and it switched to hacky sack games in late middle school through high school. I think the graph is accurate.

Man, they’re taking the “dark ages” part seriously.

Weevils!

You’re asking about something called surveying, if you want a term to search for. Modern surveying equipment uses lasers to measure the land, then they do a bunch of trig to create an accurate map. Once you have an accurate map that’s keyed to known reference points, you can design the roundabout. When you’re ready to build it, it’s just following the map and using the reference points to measure it back out.

I’ve got the best way to make coffee. You take the absolute cheapest instant coffee you can find, and a bit of salt to make it palatable. My grandpa says they made it like that when he visited Vietnam, so it must be pretty fancy, right?

What the woman who labors wants is the right to live, not simply exist – the right to life as the rich woman has the right to life, and the sun and music and art. You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also. The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too. Help, you women of privilege, give her the ballot to fight with.

You can pry my tenkey from my cold dead fingers, haha

If you’re experiencing a gap in coverage, you can be preapproved for a cat from your local shelter too.

A’ight, I’m with you on that.
