Every time I know somebody is in the market, I get them a copy of What Color is Your Parachute. It gets updated every year. It'll help with finding a targeted position that wants your skills.

I hate working for big corporations. Recruiters will only find you the worst contract jobs. Finding where the small businesses are looking is something that shook out of the book for me. The methods you're using are all the methods that the large companies want you to use and you'll almost always get filtered out. Find places where small companies are looking for your specific skills. They don't want to be awash in dozens of resumes anymore that you want to be blasting your resume out there to dozens of systems that are only there to filter you out. The places might be a niche job posting website, might mean an industry event, etc.

 

Edit: Not a real series. There's just the one story in Watchmen and an adaptation of that.

Tales of the Black Freighter is a swashbuckler anthology pirate comic book series. It was published by National Comics (which later became DC Comics).

Shying away from mainstream adventures, Tales of the Black Freighter's radical and innovative stories show a disturbing reality against metaphysical terrors and perverse comments on the human condition.

I'd say not. This number for Japan includes groups that have been forcefully assimilated like the Ainu and Ryukuans. And then you see how more racially diverse places like the US are. So both homogeneous and diverse populations and nations can be pretty racist, both systemically and individually.

They're all over the place. Even Dick's sells them.

Imposing negative externalities while failing to understand and empathize with others is characteristic of the preoperational stage of development, but most children grow out of it by around age 7.

A friend's seasonal one shot RPG! I hope things go better than last time when the group doomed themselves to an icy death for not being good people during their community service. Was still enjoyable.

A group that stayed together for 8 years is impressive.

I'm assuming dead dead and not resurrectable dead.

Did you have a mini for the druid? It's not very druidy, but you could paint it bronze and make it into a statue of a hero for use in tabletop cities. Are you planning any sort of ritual, like burning the character sheet and spreading the ashes?

Dogs attack people on order of magnitude more often than cats and dogs do way more damage when they do. Cats are probably just not as high a priority. Both should definitely be chipped, though.

Injera is the only reason I don't make Ethiopian more often. Teff Love is the recipe book I used and the misir wot is easy and great, but the injera recipe calls for planning ahead three days.

Is it ironic if the audience knows it's not but the people they're talking about don't know?

This got Poison by Young Scrolls stuck in my head this morning. 🎵Powdered deer penis🎶

 

First came out in 92 for DOS, so very light on resources. It's been ported to modern systems. Go around and make alien allies against a threat to the galaxy. The sense of adventure and humor is great as is the music.

 

Most of him will be released next week.

 

Going to a wedding with two weeks notice with a cat theme. I had some fabric with cats on it, so I decided to make a bow tie instead of buying something new. Just used a tie I already had as the pattern. It has been so long since I've done any sewing, so 4 small pieces all the same size was perfect for where I'm at. Had a few mistakes but they're all in the back, so I'm pretty satisfied.

 

When she finally came to bed to spoon and apologize, again, we fit together oddly because she was now a foot too long.

 

By the time it was too much, I didn't have the ability to do anything about it but scream.

 

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

 

My tools serve me, not the other way around. It's not worth the time and effort to wash by hand or sharpen on a whetstone. I don't need an expensive knife to cook at home. A pull through sharpener and honing steel are adequate. Get the right material and you don't have to worry about the metal in the dishwasher.
