I'm not going to lie. I honestly have $1,000+ lying around doing nothing right now.
May I point to the 'Auspice needs a new bed' initiative?
(I keed. I should have the $$ for it sometime next month, tho! AT LONG LAST.)

I began trying to grind on Aida last night since the first pattern drops this weekend.
I need to watch less Lucifer and sleep more.
(I just finished the series a few weeks ago myself. 
Now I'm on to Stargate to help get ideas for the game. :D)

ohhhhhh lord do not do that when you're sleepy. It took me twice as long as it should have to get the border done because I kept being a single count off.

I have never so much as encountered people pronouncing it as an acronym.
F-Y-I.
Same. It would never occur to not to just say the letters.
I pronounce G-U-I by the letters, S-C-S-I same, S-Q-L as well. You'd think from some people's expressions that I'd just walked out of the 1500s, but some people get awfully pompous about how their acronyms are relayed. If I want to say Ess-Kew-Ell, I am no less versed on it than someone who barely can manage 'Sequel' without swallowing half the vowels. "Seql".
but scuzzy is so fun to say.
Also, jesus, I think we found what all of MSB can agree on: FYI must be Eff-Why-Eye.

But I did find this one:
http://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=A6CD0240119364D4298BD9825A48A768
I can't view libgen links at work. What's the title of this book? I am curious.

I will state I have always said it FYI, but my coworker was messaging me and brought it up as 'fwee' (as in its how he imagines it to be pronounced) and it led me to think hmm. Well. How would I go about this...

YES.
Clarification, were you asking: "Are you such a boss M.C. and drop such good rhymes that it's *stupid"?
Then, yes, I'm really really really stupid.
My rhymes stab you in the heart like I'm Cupid.
I bet you concluded,
When I dream its so lucid
My attacks are concluded
And NEVER diluted.

"I don't want to offend anyone, but...
This looks like shit, your design is shit, and you're shit. (Ok, paraphrased, but this is how it sounded to my ears)
But please, don't take offence or take it personally."
FML. I just want to go back to developing other people's web designs. This having to come up with the web app design sucks.
I started to go into web dev when I was in my late teens.
I didn't last long.
The 'oh, you're the expert, just make it however you think is best!' that inevitably becomes 'this isn't what I wanted at all' (well mf'er maybe if you'd given me any idea what you did want...) drove me away.
...lol it has a line limit.
Third option is: 'Fuck you, it should always be Eff-Why-Eye'
My coworker and I are having a debate on this. It's like the new GIF vs JIF argument.
People can bring their dogs to work.
One lady has keys that sound exactly like a dog's tags. Every time she walks by, I think it's a doggo and am inevitably disappointed.
@Derp said in The Work Thread:
Part of it may actually be your performance. Not the lack thereof, but the exceptional quality. If you are indispensable in your current position, you are just as likely to be passed up for promotion as those not qualified.
This.
This x a million.
I missed out on a lot of promotions and the like in the past because I was too valuable where I was.
Which is why I now purposefully underperform in jobs.

Those... really could be shortdescs from just about any game ever.
Oh, for suresies. Just... they're pretty much all like that. Like, I wasn't reaching high and far to cherry-pick those examples; it was all low-hanging fruit.
It's really the 'tattooed beauty' for a teenage girl that got me. I'm also gonna tell myself that 'honeyed' means her hair and not other things. 
(Also, @Arkandel this thread should prob be moved to constructive at the least...)
"Death has all but been eradicated while bioengineering and cyber-augmentations mean running into an 85 year old in a 12 year old body..."

@Macha said in The Work Thread:
Work seems to think 15 minutes is enough time to leave the floor for the break room, treat my low sugar, eat something slow absorbing to keep them level without overcompensating, and get my hands to stop shaking. Apparently I need another accommodation letter.
Maybe one of our board lawyers can help you craft a properly threatening (y'know, threats of reporting them to the EEOC since this very well counts, I believe, as discrimination) letter of warning to go with it. There might be some already extant on the web.
FROM THE CREATOR OF HAVEN RPG...
Cyberrun.
Per the Haven RPG forums where this has been discussed he wanted to create a next-gen interface/game because MUs have been relatively the same for a long time. By all reports, the client for this is pretty amazing, but he wanted to put little to no time in the game. Thus it was sex-oriented to ensure a testing base large enough but is really just a sandbox for people to do their own things with other groups of people. There is little to no metaplot or overarching narrative.
Careful, you will summon things not meant to be summoned in this part of the forums.
I'm not sure if MakeupGeek has any videos that might help. Back when I was watching her, she was very helpful and though she herself has an Italian complexion, she did a lot of neutral looks. I wouldn't be surprised if she's expanded into providing details for men.
Beyond that, all I could suggest personally is to maybe check forums (like MakeUpGeek's) and ask around or find a beauty vlogger you like (this is the hard part: 95% of them these days are only 'nice' so far as it gets people to give them money) and send a message asking their advice.
