iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I used to drive between central Illinois and Dallas twice a year before GPS was real. I got lost a couple times and it was fun! Even when I was worried about an easy rider situation asking for directions in Talequah, OK.

To be clear I am not mocking either of you, I have had a long struggle to become a better painter and this shit matters

I just read this and thought about how painting miniatures involves these considerations. Maybe you and Spencer can bond over his orks!

Well now I know why he was coaching A&M for so long

000

Lol, to be fair, I also know a lot more about Joss Whedon than I did then and have little confidence he could have threaded the needle

I loved it as much as anyone on the first watch but on a rewatch you can see where maybe this concept wouldn't pan out

A bit after the GoT show started my best friend asked me to recommend a fantasy series to him, and I had narrowed it down to ASOIAF, Black Company, and Wheel of Time. I recommended Black Company in part because GoT was such good television, but with hindsight I would say it was the correct choice

This is just a personal opinion, but I think Firefly would be much less beloved if it had gotten a run of 5 or so seasons.

The end of Game of Thrones was bad enough to make me retroactively like the books less. I've come back around on both the books and the show to some degree, but I felt cheated out of a resolution in a way I wouldn't have even if the books were completed and just sucked at the end

This is why I shouldn't read the thread

Under IUPAC conventions i believe it's a maxi-wheat

I agree, but i think "grilled ham and cheese" is a separate item from a melt, and that a "cheese toastie" can only be cheese bread and butter (does the term cheese toastie exist anywhere outside of illinois?)

000

Also, just logistically, I've got to think an attack on the eastern seaboard would be a lot more doable.

000

Also funny because an effete pseudo-intellectual like Yarvin would end up dead too

Yeah I'm not sure how I avoided that

Learning that you have to put in the work isn't easy when you start off being told you're smart/talented/etc either

2150

But the point was we both realized that you can't just coast on talent and counting on luck is obviously a fool's game

1190

It's funny because my friend and I had a saying (that I'm sure we didn't originate) that you need at least two of talent, work ethic, and luck to succeed, and luck might be the most important one

You may be shocked to learn that Chuck D wants to help out black people

I was doing weird little neural networks and trying to make a natural language processing algorithm 25 years ago. I am very angry that they just threw all the processing power in the world at the problem and think it's god

090

I wasn't sure if that was serious or not but I wasn't going to let it stop me lol

020

I mean I do not endorse cheering for injuries, but I'm reasonably sure the Browns fan base is well aware of his sexual harassment allegations and that they played into the cheering. Which just makes it look worse that they are all-in on him now that they're leading the division

100

I'm just glad to see Duchamp can still make people angry lol

030

It codes for shit too, I can't believe they brought this product to market!

020

I love that it's a wooden potato. They don't need no fancy bronze potato

Funny enough, I was literally making a rant yesterday about how people still hate Michael Vick for fighting dogs after he spent time in prison and has been volunteering and donating to the ASPCA for a decade while Deshaun Watson is getting a pass for sexual harassment after winning 3 games

Assuming that you mean TNO by "6", I think it shows how everything sucks in that world Which is not to say that people don't love it for the wrong reasons But I did a Siberian Black Arny run with it and felt like the point was this is a horrible world and there are no good choices

2130

Oh great, now I'm imagining Eternity and Thanos droning on about the meaning of life

000

I was going to call this Adam Warlock erasure but honestly he maps well to Purdue so yeah you're on point

100

Jack Smith went to Milwaukee?

000

Gosh, it's almost like you're implying that the perverts making rules about this like pre-pubescent girls...

Bluesky: the home of having to explain your joke but never having to explain your poorly thought philosophy

Love seeing you with that silver hair.....*drool*

I get what you were going for and I didn't put much thought into my original post. But what is social media forif not shooting off your mouth?

110

Lol ok yeah that, in retrospect, is not a useful metric for much. Especially since I've been on the internet long enough to have a "*that* makes people horny?!" reaction about twice a month for decades
