@Misadventure said in PB 'realism':
Do PB fires your imagination, even if its never seen by others? Or is the critical part that its seen by others?
For me, it is often just to fire my imagination. Sharing it to others just shares a more precise picture than my writing can manage.
@Snackness said in Podcasts:
Lore - A podcast of mysterious tales. I enjoyed it more once I realized that it was about telling a good story, and not facts.
Two words: Sandy Diaphram.
That just sounds... painful
Kermode and mayo film - a really funny film review podcast with a lot of fun in-jokes.
The missing crypto queen - about a woman who set up one coin "crypto" currency and then vanished, and what happened.
The whisperer in darkness - creepy as all get stories about a man who leaves desperate messages and then vanishes.
Ear hustle - a podcast from inside a prison, with a glimpse of their lives.
Tunnel 29 - the story of a man who dug out of one side of berlin to the other, and then dug back in..

@Snackness Yeah, it sounds so easy when YOU say it
Tell that to my crippling fear of rejection.
The worst that can happen is nothing. No reply. Is that going to leave you in a worst place than you are now?
Application experience is valuable in itself... So you'll have gained that, and be in a better position for next time.
Best case, you get a job! Do it!
@Ghost watching musketeers. It is well worth it.
Watched first Picard. Also worth it.
People who have to pull others down to feel better about their issues. I shouldn't have to spend three hours fixing your cruelty to a junior member of staff who was just getting her belief in her abilities.
@Ghost I haven't watch it yet but I will throw myself at that later to report back! (If I can get the remote from my daughter who has moved back in)
Really fed up with this cough, and with the constant return of depression. I get that it is a life long thing (the depression not the cough) and that it is by nature a cycle but... fuck off already.
I don't have TIME for this shit this week (which is why it is here, of course). So busy beating myself up over mistakes recently, and getting an oncoming tsunami of work that it will be impossible to do well...
@Ghost I'm watching on amazon because we don't get CBS here. It is becoming a problem for us though - netflix, amazon, and sky just to watch a few good shows. BBC is at least still producing good stuff for us over here (apart from the horror that BBC America has shown so far of the Discworld travesty). I begin to see why people share passwords!
@Rinel Uuuuupvote.
Yea, no spoilers
Much appreciated! I wish people on twitter were as thoughtful.
@Macha never done it before! He pretty much said yes, this is this, keep warm, take drugs, keep moving.
@Auspice saw a rheumatology doc yesterday who confirmed what we thought it is, but twisted me a lot for range of movement and my hips are all hell nope. Slept restlessly so shoulders, elbows and hands hurt. So feet just joined in because they feel left out. I can take pain relief or be awake,, but not both.
First day of my course today so an entire day in a bad bad chair...

@Macha said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:
My stupid left hip hurts and feels out of 'place' somehow. And tomorrow I have to deal with team lead who will make me crazy.
I feel this way about my legs today. Not the out of place part. The pain part. I get this deep bone ache in them and I didn't wanna 'whine' but it fucking hurts and I share because, well, I want you to know you aren't alone in hurting and needing to have a 'this fucking sucks' moment.
Can I join too? Joints are unhelpful and painful. I have a day of university with bad chairs today and I woke up with pain.
Sure, I'm in.
I have bugged her for this and that, and asked stupid questions. Not once had she not been kind and patient. We've had the idea suggestion discussion, and she has turned me down but never been less than nice.
Also I like her and appreciate anyone making it easier to be in this hobby.

@Ganymede There's an argument to be made about the "education" public education systems provide, of course...
Heeeey, we do very well, thankyouverymuch.
For various reasons, the archive can't be up on Ares. So I've made a permalink from my blog
I think my student lured the English language down a dark alleyway and beat the crap out of it.
This is not English as we know it.
