subtooting, common meme, D&D 

There are so many stories of D&D players pulling shenanigans that break the narrative/suspension of disbelief, and upset the DM.

If you've got a situation where someone in the game is regularly upset about what's happenning, then something has gone wrong.

And that's what makes me uncomfy about these stories... at best they present D&D as though it's a game about beating the GM, and at worst they show social dysfunction and malice

I didn't get any billable hours last month and I don't have any indication that I'll get any this month. (In fact, I've barely heard from my clients at all for several weeks.)

At this rate, I'm going to run out of money by the end of the month, and this in a time when I also need to focus on moving by the end of the year and finding more work in general.

If you have a few dollars you could toss my way, I'd appreciate it.

Programming, LISP, liberation of thought 

"""
LISP has jokingly been described as “the most intelligent way to misuse a computer”. I think that description a great compliment because it transmits the full flavour of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts.

misinformation 

Here is a tip to prank your C programmer friends! Give them a book but take off its back cover! After finishing the pages they will continue by trying to pronounce the secret, true names of everything else in their sight!

money, work, request for help 

Our income is $50 a week (after rent).

If you've got any odd jobs that I can do for an extra $10 here and there, that would be really useful!

What I can do:
* Clerical work
* Proofreading
* Programming (for the Desktop or Command line)

Thanks!

conspiracy theory 

An ancient order of augurs has been ruling the world through by harnessing the eldritch forces of the butterfly effect. Using powerful technology harnessed from a crashed alien spaceship, the order has, for centuries, been launching coordinated assassinations around the world of sparrows in flight, halting the beating of their wings, and thereby shaping the course of global events.

"[...]new research into the causation of the disease undercovering it's a pathological illness."

"Forcing someone to do exercise when their muscle cells are not producing enough ions to work properly is nothing short of cruelty, and these kind of treatment programs must end so that proper treatments can be found."

I just saw someone using fake IPA:

the slashes were backwards and they used a bunch of umlauts

...but they also used ə

I'm confused

Classic Doctor Who :: [missing episodes musing] 

This is technically true of the celestial toymaker as well, but that entire story is boring garbage so it's not really a surprise that the surviving episode is also boring

I guess Galaxy 4's surviving episode is ok? It's not really exciting, though
