"Sir, I don't think you understand. To apply to a job at this clinic you need at least 5 years of experience and you just got your degree."
"Well, I've worked as an armchair psychologist since I was 13."
A few years ago, a prompt was issued in RPN for a mini-project, to follow Inktober. Since not everyone is an artist however, the prompt was to change one's profile picture each day to match the day's theme. I did that a couple of times and this year I will attempt it again.
To anyone else who may be interested, here is the list for 2024 (found here)
If I had a nickel for every time someone asking if there's a pokemon-related RP in the group section while there's an RP of the exact kind they want visible from the front page since yesterday, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Clearly communicating what you want is important. At the same time though, when you get too explicit things can start sounding like exam questions.
“Did you have fun today? Please elaborate. Name three things you enjoyed. What would you want to perhaps improve for the next instance of hanging out?” (“Did you have fun today?”)
“Considering Mark was hospitalized until recently, what do you believe is the current status of his mental and physical well-being?” (“How’s Mark doing?”)
It's a little funny how RPN now seeming tracks the time of posting based on the time you opened the thread, and tells you "you will make this post...IN THE FUTURE!"
An idealist - a sincere one anyways - will sooner or later be faced with the realization that there are more fights to fight than they ever could. That by necessity even holding steady to their cause(s) there will be many times when they simply cannot stretch thin enough to be in all of them, that they will have to choose between them. An idealist dies when they realizes far fewer are worth fighting for than would even occupy their time.
A passing thought. A moment of self-reflection. Probably wrong or exaggerated in plenty of ways - but I wanted to throw it out into the ether.
I'm guessing the food issue eventually resolved itself?
