Here. Have a photo from last year's Dracula's Ball performance in Philadelphia, where I was suddenly both video tech and official band photographer (in spite of being expressly not a photographer):

<3!

An amuse bouche for the new Conjure One, Front Line Assembly, and possibly even Noise Unit currently in production:

Love Conjure One.

I mean, granted, I don't like a whole lot of people and will go out of my way to avoid quite a few of them, when reasonable. That said, I'm not sure who you are, so I don't think we've got beef.

That said, this doesn't sound all that uncommon, and I'm pretty sure it's not you personally. Some people get their rocks off by playing the gender-neutral catty mean girl archtype that just has to stir the pot.

Best to ignore it.

@Macha said in The Work Thread:

Boss says I am doing more than my fair share, but honestly, I just have enough to barely feel productive.

This is literally me every day. I feel like I have done nothing and played on Amazon all day and my attorneys are like "omg you are amazing."

Like... what do they even teach you in law schools?

@GangOfDolls Hey, you might be living in a simulation right now.

They need to fix the customization options though and the grind is brutal. Maybe the next patch will fix it.

Truth.

This made me actually laugh out loud.

non-"live" scenes

Have you seen how many people are throwing screaming tantrums about that, though?

@Ganymede said in RL things I love:

When I get 6 hours to cook.

German red cabbage sauerkraut. Sausage soup w/ mirepoix base. Arborio risotto cooked with leftover broth from the soup. And later, gluten-free apple muffins.

Yes, my family probably doesn't deserve this, but I like to feed people.

They don't! But I do! Feed me!

@Macha said in RL things I love:

@Wizz That card is actually quite lovely. I'm totally in line with the social progress and other tenets, but I didn't know there was an actual MEMBERSHIP CARD.

Shit. Now I totally want to be a card carrying member.

Saaaaaame.

Oh, that's easy. The evil's in the c-suite.

That looks like it could have been a scene from Sleepwalkers.

@SixRegrets

Office cat is awesome.

Office cat is a staple in a law firm.

Like, we don’t know where the evil is, but we’re pretty sure he does and doesn’t give a fuck as long as we keep hurling treats at him to keep the evil in check.

We believe they keep the undead away.

I humbly request pictures of office cat. Because I want to see the kitty, and not at all to convince my boss that other professionals allow live office mascots. <.< >.>

IF ITS THIS FRAGILE WE DON'T DESERVE DEMOCRACY IF IT HINGES ON THE DEATH OF ONE WOMAN

It won't.

You can fix the solution by expanding the Court.

I mean, if history is an indication, you don't even have to do it. Just threaten to.

Not difficult.

Guess it's time for the Republicans to forget they held Scalia's seat open for months as they froth about how Trump is the only person who can appoint the replacement and we get thirty years of rolling back every right since the 60's.

@Ganymede said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Politely telling the asshole that you and your family will not hesitate to kick the shit out of him if you hear he cussed out your kid again is something completely different. Also, it is not considered menacing in the State of Ohio because it is a conditional threat. Bring along a posse of your biggest friends when you go over.

I envy your laws sometimes.

Here that's intimidation and we have all sorts of bullshit case law on it.

Lets just hope it isn't another six years before the next book drops.

It probably won't be. It was so long this time because Butcher was going through Some Shit. He had a lot to deal with in his personal life.

A former MUSH-er had to take an extended hiatus from fantasy stuff to deal with their RL and it took a hell of a long time?

I have never heard of such a thing! I am shocked. SHOCKED.

<.< >.>

@Tinuviel

Same feels: old flames who keep popping into my life, so we can both experience the joy of rediscovering why they were old flames.

Gdi I just want to meet someone new

...a/s/l? You hot? You sound hot.

(The joke of course being that sometimes meeting new people can be kind of soul-crushing too.)

@il-volpe said in 'The Magicians' again -- time period?:

FS3, with a lot of odd prerequisites.

How? FS3 doesn't handle magic at all.

Jazz Era / Prohibition.

All the extravagance you could want, lots of seedy plots, and a bootleg culture pre-built and flourishing for that dangerous magic and weird artifacts.
