just took the LSAT and was killing it until 3 hours in, very last section, very last part of that section, run into a six-problem set that i had no idea how to do and had a panic attack and had to guess for all 6 questions and ruined my chances of getting a good score

RIP

if you don't wash rice before steaming it you're a heathen

[Bonobonobo]

I eat rice pretty often along with normal meals but sometimes I just get a craving for just a plain bowl of good rice. You know?

When you make a throwaway comment to the lady at the post office about how fast time is going and she tells you that today is her 50th birthday and just glares at you with an "I don't want to be here, I should have done something else with my life" look

Wondering why the 90's generation hasn't brought back MSN Messenger in the current wave of nostalgia around 90's things.

wanna learn more about typefaces, anyone know where to start?

[costanza]

Do you want to know a lot of font names and styles or learn the fundamentals behind typesetting? If the latter I can recommend these:


Now, truth be told I've only read the first few pages of 'Thinking With Type' by Ellen Lupton. And I believe that's the best one to start with. As for the other two I don't know if they're a solid recommendation. But Thinking With Type was recommended to me by a typographer during a lecture so I'm fairly certain that's a good book. You should probably research it a little to make sure it's what you want to learn about.

Haven't posted or even visited this site in a long time, it's nice to see that there's still a lot of people around, feeling some mild nostalgia

Anybody here had LASIK before? I just had a consultation appointment and will probably be scheduling the surgery soon. I'd love to hear people's experiences if they have them.

Fuk cards against

Cheerup read the damn article

Card game that exists as a symptom of gross parts of our culture

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

i read it twice before posting that rep comment

humor is inherently derived from transgression, plain and simple. humor also affects people at a level that's deeper than where we determine high-minded notions of right and wrong. i don't overthink why i like louis ck - his standup just makes me laugh, even if he does say some rude shit (there's also plenty of people who make jokes about offensive things that aren't funny, and when offensive jokes aren't funny the only intent is to offend). people who think comedy should always be well-intentioned have extremely limited options, and comedians who only want to enact positive social change get unfunny really fast and just end up becoming activists.

i can at least respect CAH for pulling their "date rape" card from the deck, they're at least self-aware about not punching down too egregiously

but in the final analysis you're getting mad at a card game for perpetuating problematic shit? like a card game is what's keeping racism alive? getting mad at a party game for perpetuating unhealthy shit is like getting mad at 21 savage for perpetuating gang violence, they didn't start the fire dude

[tomsfood]

"pick your battles" AKA "why worry about this when there are worse things in the world" AKA remaining complicit with shitty, casual racism/misogyny/etc enabling trash AKA willful ignorance

it is NOT a hard ask to play other games, i'm sure there are more than a few that don't encourage shitty behavior.

also, just because something didn't start racism doesn't mean it's not actively perpetuating it and isn't still bad. and YES, this card game is helping keep racism alive, 100 percent. the game makes it okay (encouraged!) to be casually racist

[mc-lunar]

maybe if someone wants to write about how a board game draws its humor from racism, that's their prerogative? they probably didn't say "okay used up all my Activism Hours for today" either
