No disrespect to Donovan Patton but this kind of Blues Clues host might've stuck longer with Gen Y toddlers

No disrespect to Donovan Patton but this kind of Blues Clues host might've stuck longer with Gen Y toddlers

x) I doubt that the current host ('an offspring of '89) Josh Dela Cruz who likely grew up familiar w/emos would've thought of such an approach during his ~'18 audition, ~18 years ago.

Even in inundated labyrinth like liminal areas, Shakyamuni sees

I'm sure someone 'better versed' in the understanding worship space design, depictions of samsara and entities from the cosmology ( was that an asura come the video's end ?) might better remark than me when it comes to this video.

^_^ I find the 'pool room' idea cool.

GVC Design and stained glass art parallels ?

Wherein I now wonder how much GVC design has semblance to stained glass

This was a book which I think was about the year in review and/or achievements and such of a certain local hospital system over a 1/4 c. ago.

It made considered w/out going through a ~+21 Jonathan Carson video on the aesthetic again as to how the sometimes muted palette colours and the 'angularity' of some stained glass art have vaguely 'guiding notions' paralleling GVC even though I'm aware of the less then Eurocentric milieu influences of the style of GVC.

You, a 40 year old, wake up tomorrow and you're 16.

You have all the memories of the last 24 years, but you're back to where you were at the age of sixteen. So you still have the mind of a forty year old, but you're in the body of a sixteen year old.

Is it moral for you to date people who are sixteen in this situation?

Morality of mutilating someone weaker than you, but they tried to pull a gun on you twice, and leaving them there?

Context: Yujiro Hanma is walking down a bridge when a random guys stops him, asking him if he's really the "strongest creature in the world." Yujiro then asks if his high confidence is because of the 2 revolvers he can smell on him. Before the guy can fully draw, Yujiro steps forward faster than the guy can react right away and grabs his forearm, yanks it down hard in a way that completely dislocated his shoulder out of it's socket by inches, then proceeding to twist his forearm literally like a pretzel. The guy then decides to try and draw his other gun, but Yujiro sends a clean front kick fast enough that it nearly slices off the guys hand off, barely leaving it hanging.

Yujiro tells him to watch out for the gun that proceeds to fall on the guys head and he calmly walks away as the guy screams in pain and bleeds out.

I get the guy tried to attack him first, but is harming someone like that and kinda leaving them for dead immoral in any way?

The last one reminds me of Naruto ;I

The final one brings to mind Jiraiya's 'Sage mode' as well as how the 'kintype' notion might've been there with the rapport he had to've had with the toads to've learned from them.

Naruto's rapport with the vulpine Kurama is a different beast altogether, pun partially intended ;| ; need I mention the Inuzuka and Aburame clans, Kisame or Orochimaru for that matter ?.

There is apparently a 'toad style' and may we not forget how biomimicry undertoned martial arts have existed for centuries.

The post-structuralism ;I is strong with this one

At the bottom there's a note which goes

>"Postmodernism" is a broad philosophical and cultural movement in late 70s and 80s. In fact The Postmodern Condition was published in 1979, two years after Star Wars came out. It describes how society at large had more or less lost faith that single driving "meta-narratives" were the end goal of history. No one really believed anymore that single narrative like Communism, the Enlightenment and Science, or for that matter a all powerful "Force" controlling our destiny, which would eventually resolve all contradictions and reach humanity's ultimate goal. Instead, society is fractured into a multiplicity of people with different goals and understandings.

>An interesting part of this is that we also seemed more and more incapable of making movies that straightforwardly portray epic struggles between good and evil. The age of postmodernism is the age of sympathetic villains and dark heroes. Artists and audiences alike reject tales of Light defeating Dark once and for all. We simply aren't able to write the original Star Wars anymore today.

>A lot of people recognized this when the new movies came out, of course, and thought it was being incorporated into the movie itself. Rey was to be the girl from nowhere who would reject the binary and grand meta-narrative of the light side of the force triumphing over the dark side of the force, and recognized that only by fracturing that story could humanity finally move past the struggle, and allow for individuality and dissent within a new Jedi Order that incorporates competing conceptions of human existence and knowledge.

>Instead, on account of the fact that they were mostly morons who understood none of this, we got a weird attempt to do both. Or maybe they were being doubly postmodern by having multiple directors who couldn't even agree on the narrative of the movies. Who knows.

You get a single 24-hour attempt to earn $10,000 for every cigarette you smoke. You must choose your target beforehand, and if you fail to reach that number within the 24 hours, you receive no money at all. How many cigarettes would you commit to?

Any cigarettes smoked beyond your target earn nothing. You must take at least 10 puffs from each cigarette for it to count toward your target.

Rate this team ?

A team composed of Blissey , Ditto, Wobuffet, Shedinja, Smeargle and Porygon Z -- how would such a team fare competitively ?.

By which I mean broadly, in terms of being (a) a main squad from point A to point Z in any Pokemon game come Gen 4 and *after, (b) in casual multiplayer battling and (c) can it carry with irl professional esports calibre competitive Pokemon ? -- I strongly feel that how this team will fare depends in part on not only understanding the significance of particular items held and used as well as abilities but also battling stats overall and how to use special stat altering moves well (neither of which I've never really understood tbh).

I ask this as someone who hasn't really followed the games and competitive developments since the days of playground antics with Gen II monsters, so while I can understand the possible significance of items being held in such a team, (i) I don't really understand how 'abilities' might influence things, (ii) and (iii) am not too sure how much more 'gimmicky' things became after in terms of there possibly being monsters which're 'even more gimmicky' or how Generation specific evolution like mechanics (mega , gigantamax , dynamax, paradox, Terastallization etc).

I already realize how jokey the team might seem but I'm bringing this up as I still (morbidly "^_^ ?) curious.

* since the least vintage listed is Porygon Z

Mfw someone at work doesn’t understand the bare minimum basics of living in current times

I work in IT. Someone calls with said computer issue, I know the fix for said issue, all I need them to do is ready the wacky barcode number the company puts on all devices, and they refuse to at least try and look for it. I’ve stopped being nice to people like this and it’s crazy how much better being “mean” works. I hate being mean, I’m a big mf so I look mean too, I’m nice to everyone at work but the RBF doesn’t help. I’m so tired yall
