Python programing...

No, that is clearly a course on Cobra Object-Based Programming Language.

I'm going to cheat a little and post something off the word Rage against the machine just because it's unlikely to ever come up again and there is a fun song called Rage. It's a Dungeons and Dragons song about Barbarian rages.

Ignore this post in the game. Just wanted to share this artist for all the D&D nerds.
Yahzick - Rage - Attack of Opportunity (Lyric Video)

@Ganymede

Yeah, I wasn't intending it as legal advice. Just common lore here in America.
'Merica: Land of the heavily armed, home of the brazen.

@JinShei
Frank Sinatra - Softly, as I leave you

Based on a true story where a man was dying in a hospital after weeks of losing a battle against cancer.
His wife had fallen asleep next to him with her head on the bed.
He felt his life slipping away so he wrote her one last love letter and slipped away to death while she slept.

Cosmo is best space dog. Would play.

Agreed.

@GreenFlashlight said in Empire State Heroes Mush:

The no animals thing is another rule I do not understand the purpose of...

Given a large number of players over time, it was inevitable that some game somewhere got someone who wanted to play Krpyto the super-dog and go around playing out bestiality scenes or something like that.

I remember hearing stories back in the day about a group of X-men walking in on Wolvesbane doing it doggy-style with Havok in the X-Jet hanger.

It's not unreasonable for staff to limit the characters who would draw that kind of focus.

Because dicks out for SuperHarambe, yo

Sadly, no.
Maybe it was the JLA TV series that showed Grodd banging that scientist and that sorceress who was his second in command of the Legion of Doom that makes everyone assume he's hetro.

I went to ESHM as a guest. Someone in the OOC room pointed out they have a no animal PC rule so I guess Grodd is out.
I liked him. He was always fun as a behind the scenes master-mind type.

@Ganymede

Oh, also, I forgot to mention.
I played Grodd (The actual gorilla) and women hit on me.
I was so tempted to explain to them about how tiny a gorilla penis is but instead I just acted like he wasn't into humans.
And this happened more than once.

It's not just women who get hit on for no good reason. I think everyone is just horny.

I would also recommend the Netflix series Big Mouth.

The animation looks weird and is offputting on initial inspection but the show is great and broaches a lot of subjects people don't normally talk about. It's the story of kids going through puberty accompanied by Hormone Monsters who both care about them deeply and often talk them into taking the worst possible courses of action.

There is a good series called The Magicians that a lot of people are unaware of.

Seasons 1-3 are on Netflix but the 4th and final season isn't yet. You can still pirate it.

It's basically adult, American, Harry Potter with sex, drugs, 80's music, and graphic murders.
You follow the life of young people who are invited to a secret college for magicians.

The main character is every nerd ever, Quinton Coldwater, a young man with social anxiety, that retreats to a magical fantasy land in books.

He lives a heavily medicated life believing he is broken and damaged until one day he is whisked off to magic college and finds out magic is real.

However, Quinton's friend Eliot is by far the best character in the show.

The nice thing about restraining orders is that when the cops come and take the nut-jobs away they can keep them in jail for 24 hours as a cool-down period. If you don't have a restraining order the cops just have to make sure the crazy person leaves the property but they can come right back as soon as the cops drive off.

Once she's in jail her family has to get involved.
This is a roundabout way of making her family work for you.
Once they realize she's going to end up in jail if she keeps this shit up, her own family becomes your personal police force, working for free, to keep her in line. Court fees are expensive. They will police her for you to avoid them.

Also, remember, once she is inside your house you can shoot her dead. Just make sure she is fully inside the residence. If you have a restraining order out on her and she breaks into your home, you have a license to kill.

Just finish the job. Shoot her at least three times at range, wait about a minute, call 911 while she bleeds out, try to sound like you're confused and in shock.

Don't let yourself feel like there is nothing you can do. If she fucks with you, you have all the power.

Update:

The crazy fucking bitch BROKE MY GARDEN DOOR. From the outside. With PHYSICAL FORCE.

I’m getting a lawyer involved.

Also booking a contractor pronto to wall off the entire garden before she gets any ideas about that fence.

Make sure you go by your local courthouse tomorrow and take out a restraining order.
Then if she shows up at your house you can call the cops on her.
Also, your lawyer will love it so you can claim emotional damages if you go to court.
He can say you felt threatened and had to involve the law.
Just do it before you hire the lawyer. Makes it seem more legit.

dear lord I want this sick to go away but especially this cough. my chest and lungs can't take much more.

Have you been eating clover-honey? You can buy it at the grocery store. Just put a spoonful in your mouth and let it melt.
It coats your throat and relieves your cough. The honey is a mild anti-biotic as well but more importantly, you can lube your throat up with it as much as you want and just work off the extra calories when you are healthy.

How does developing a game actually work? If you pay for server space do they give you a login for a shell account where you can edit the game files and such? The only MUSH I ever tried to build only lived in my harddrive.

Do you FTP the files back and forth that you can't edit with the Godbit on the game?
Does the $5 include the basic codebase or just the server space?
Is there some kind of MUSH base code you upload to it and run to start the game?

Back on the topic about TS:
I temped Jim Gordon once for a Batman who needed him for a plot.
In what was at best 3 weeks of time I got hit on by Batgirl, (His daughter), Montoya (Who was supposed to be gay, I think?), Volcana (The villainess who sets fire to things) and a low-level OC magic-user whose name I don't remember.

Moral of the story: If you want to score virtual women, be someone's daddy.
