Ding ding, this is the exact right answer.

For technical drawings, you generally want to use 6H and up for lines you’re probably going to erase, 2H for real drafting, and 2B and up is for shading and thicker work. We’d occasionally do “structural” lines in 4B.

I doubt you can find a mechanical pencil with 4B and over though.

I didn’t have this doll, but one with an answering-machine sized tape. It was annoying to mess with, but possible.

my body isn’t what it used to be. Office chair is about to be on that list as well, though I’ve been putting it off for ages

I found a (used) standing desk was roughly the same cost as a good office chair, and I’m very happy with my choice for the desk. I stand up about 6 hours out of the day, and it’s been great for my back and feet.

They spend 8 hours a day inconveniencing themselves for money.

I usually enjoy cooking, which is why I do it. But im exactly like this with chores, gardening, etc.

I just realized this isn’t NCD…

Scraping things

Remind me not to loan you my knife.

I personally wouldn’t go that far, but I’m not 3 either.

The landmine is a purely defensive weapon, unlike a gun.

Accelerationism sounds nice, unless you have issues with a few million corpses, of them probably yourself.

You know what? Screw you!

Unsmorks your alam

Before that basically everything towards the magenta part of the spectrum was all just called red.

And before that we have people looking at colours entirely differently, like Homer calling the sea the colour of red wine.

Which my Greek teacher would explain by saying “my pencil is the the same shade of yellow as your book is blue”.

Simon is just a moron who comes to the wrong conclusions constantly. I also found it extremely annoying to play a protagonist who is just demonstrably wrong about everything, and has emotional outbursts at everyone trying to improve the situation.

I fully agree.

Having Simon as the main character constantly had me feeling like one of the reveals would be that the scanning process was imperfect and somehow left him mentally damaged. Alas, it seems he was just naturally gifted with the emotional control and abstract reasoning abilities of a toddler.

I get that it’s hard to explain a story in the internal monologue of a first-person character, so having them be oblivious is a great way to explain things to the player. But Soma felt likt it was actively insulting my intelligence by assuming I needed a drool-proof keyboard.

Someone who was my age when I was a stupid kid told me that me being 16 and them being 40 meant they had 22 years experience in being an adult, and I had zero.

It took a while to realize how right that was.

Seeing much younger versions of myself wearing the goth stuff I kept for nostalgia reasons made me try it on again.

Turns out my parents were right, it was a phase. Damnit.

That’s impressive! I’m happy when my unions are bigger than a plum…

But the other thing…yeah we don’t do that shit

Not exactly the same, but The Troubles were very much going on during the 90s

Naive young me thought that with facts and education so freely and easily available, surely the internet would benefit everyone hugely!

Or maybe it’s because only about 1 in 4 Americans has a healthy weight.
