I use them to hide how scared I am.

Oh hell yea. It’s a big house rules game. In the drug and alcohol program I worked with I got to go to all sorts of detention centers for minors.

They had so many fun rules. One group called it Spicy Uno and had rules for regular cards too.

A 7 is played and no one can talk until another 7 is played, each word or sound is draw a card regardless of active turn.

A 6 was waterfall, last person to raise their arms over their head draws a card.

If the reverse card matches the color, anything can be reversed. Even on a multicolor draw card, whoever played the multicolor has to pick one of the colors.

If you have the twin(same color and symbol) of a card just played you can “jump in” to the turn rotation and continue in the same direction as if it was the “jumpers” original turn. This one was my favorite I think.

Addiction can often lead to trauma, poverty, unwanted children, all sorts of degradation, so even if someone can overcome the obstacle of stopping that won’t necessarily make them stronger. They may even be weaker than they’ve ever been from the stress on their body and psyche.

I have done heroin and I always thought that saying was dumb. Later I’d tell the kids I mentored in a drugs and alcohol program that what doesn’t kill you will likely leave you scarred, weaker, and/or in pain for the rest of your life.

I’m a big fan of try anything once though, probably how I got addicted to drugs in the first place. Not like ANYTHING, but like anything fun that isn’t fatal most of the time.

No thank you, I have a handful gripped tighter than I did with those GME shares.

My partner sometimes asks me, What’s that anime you don’t like to tell people you like?

Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation

I like the art and merciless world they live in and a lot of the characters but that show I probably fast forward scenes more than any other. Shield Hero is probably second with the lusting for the little chocobo(giant bird thing) princess that can change to little girl.

I think they’re saying, the questions they’ve seen on here are so absurd or dumb that they couldn’t possibly be real people living in the world.

To be clear I don’t feel this way, just what I think they could be saying.

Wow, hell of a sign off line.

I am a computer person. My philosophy is probably a common one, if it works don’t touch it.

I’ve seen this before, this time I chose to make the statements false by rhyming and not rhyming where appropriately or inappropriately acceptable.

I don’t know why I did this, maybe just for fun being silly.

I don’t want to make it happen, I’m just curious.

Hey everyone, I am a layman(uneducated in this field) in these matters. How does one make this happen?

Girl, what? Achievement is in the eye of the achiever. If all you see is emptiness, then emptiness you will see.

Plot twist: Grandma is also atheist and we are both happy that wherever she is headed is the same place as grandpa and everyone else, the eternal nothingness from which we came.

Every animal is smarter than me in finding food in its ecosystem. As far as math and critical thinking, spiders and their webs come to mind.

I’ll try almost any dish at party at least once. The jello salads have always been strange to me.

I do like texture sometimes, I wish the flavors were my thing. I also like the look of the food items being suspended in a glass dome like shape.

That’s amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Thats so cool they like to do speeches. My partner and I are like, “oooh I wonder what kind of speeches they do?” Thank you again for sharing the painting and the information.

Me too! I was drafting a comment in my head as I looked at the work in progress photos in the link about how I had no idea oil took that long to dry.

OP thank you for creating this and sharing the process and a bit of info on oil painting dry times. I was fascinated from start to finish.

Lovely painting, that person looks like they are very kind and welcoming. But I might be putting som bias on relating them to someone I might recognize I don’t know what you were going for.

May I ask the details of the commission you were provided, was it a photo you worked from?

I don’t see how anyone who already isn’t appalled by the genocide, is going to start to care because an American with a “brown” sounding name is also killed.

I don’t care any more than I already do which is I think all of it, whatever care is I have all of it for Palestine or any other oppressed peoples.

I’m editing to add: I really hate that I used the term brown sounding name because it feels icky and racist but it’s what I’ve come to expect from my less kind countrymen.

Thank you so much for this estimation. I don’t even care about the “about” part of it. I wanted a rough estimation and you provided.
