(TW: Suicide) Someone took his own life at my college, and a girl is using it to play the victim.

This girl was a coordinator of a group I'm in. And she did the worst job I've ever seen. She got called out so much that she allegedly tried to kill herself, which is extremely untruthful, given what she told everyone, and when all we said to her can be summarized in: "Quit. You're terrible at this".

But yesterday, a guy at my college took his life jumping from a school building. And the body hasn't even cooled down, and this person posts something on IG along the lines of "Oh, now y'all care for suicides all of a sudden".

I haven't seen such a flagrant demonstration of selfishness in my life. Shame on you, asshole

Fun fact: Pancho Villa hated alcohol.

Don José Doroteo Arango Arámbula, AKA Pancho Villa or "The Northern Centaur", was a mexican warlord during the rising against the dictatorship of Don José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori in the early 20th century.

Born in Durango in a family of hacienda pawns, he was in charge of leading the fight on the northern flank. Famously, despite his fierceness, origins and time, he despised alcohol. Being a brilliant tactician who had nothing but men to work with, he thought it made men stupid and reckless, and that it prevented them from being alert and ready.

The only times you would ever see the Northern Centaur enter a bar is when he visited the US, where he would order the recently invented strawberry smoothies, of which he was a huge fan.

The masons fastened the wood from our stairs with drywall screws.

I almost broke my arm yesterday when the fucking thing came off all of a sudden. How this didn't happen before is beyond my comprehension. 2nd pic: left is one of said screws, next to the one they should've used.

Philip J. Fry made me wonder how would I be remembered if I disappeared tomorrow

I just saw a clip from Futurama, the one where Fry talks to his mom in her dreams. His whole life, Fry was underestimated and belittled, often picturing him as a failure or mediocre even though he was just 25.

But once he disappeared, his mom missed him, and his brother Yancy even carried on his legacy into space. Even 1000 years later, everyone still treats him more or less the same, but they always mourn whenever they think he's gone for good.

My situation is much like Fry's. I'm not 25 (halfway to be 30). I'm not as unskilled, though maybe yes as clumsy. But I feel as if everyone around me underestimated me and took me for granted. I have lots of skills and knowledge I willingly put to the service of others just because I like making their lives easier, but all I recieve are reprimands and sighs for whatever I'm not able to do. That makes me think, how would I be remembered if I suddenly disappeared?

Is it the grief and mourning what made that quote unquote "sorry excuse of a man" be remembered fondly and positively? Or is it that we don't value what we have until it's lost? Would I be remembered for the good I did, or would I be remembered for that which I couldn't do o did wrong? In the case I was remembered fondly, would that be the grief talking, or the contrast of my absence highlighting that which I used to do?

I like to think that, if I disappeared, many people would mourn my loss. But based on their current behaviors, a part of me fears they wouldn't, and that they would just move on and forget about me the way you lose a screwdriver, remember every time you need it until you get a new one, and then forget about it.

Is there a way to use Lufel.net's features on Android

I know there's a pull tracker and other features that use your pull history, but the site doesn't have any instructions for Android to obtain the necessary files. Is there a way for me to use it?

TRON: LEGACY's CGI

Compared to today's lazy CGI work, this environmental, logical and aesthetically coherent CGI is the among the best I've seen. And this movie is from 16 years ago.

Has anyone beaten it in one try?

I went with A0 Joker, A0R0 Turbo, AOR1 Chord and A0 Ange, using Alice, support Personas and the Eye of Obsequies knife. I brought their HP down to like 20%-ish on the first try, so I'm positive there's a way to one-shot them. Any suggestions?
