Finn and Rey's Cat Cantina and Pizza Parlor (The Fanfic Social Thread)

I also saw that on Facebook the other day. How cool that he's only three degrees away from me, actually all of us. Guess it is a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all.... (and now that infernal song is stuck in all of your heads, so you know how I've felt today )

What. In. The. Actual. ****? Time to start raising money for your bail, because storming that meeting is completely justified here.

 

Usually protests upset me but if there is a legitimate reason to and there is no doubt that fill-in-the-blank is/was morally reprehensible then sometimes protesting loudly is the only way to make yourself heard and bring it to the attention of those that might be unaware of if.

A storm is coming...

 

I adore Thomas Bergersen's work.

 

Re cleaning wounds: I think a lot of people's parents used hydrogen peroxide, it's relatively recent that they've been saying it does way more harm than good.
I actually don't remember what my mom did for scrapes (it was probably hydrogen peroxide), but I remember her getting out splinters well... it hurt so badly I used to hide that I had one.



Bri- That's absolutely crazy! Why would the do that?? Especially since there was a strike so recently, you'd think they'd know people there won't put up with crap. I think people should storm the meeting if it happens.

 

My parents' method for removing splinters was to take a sewing needle or safety pin and use it to tear open the skin above the splinter enough to pull it out with tweezers. Hurt like crazy.

 

I'm an expert at splinter removal. Just give me some tweezers and I'll get it out. Lol.
Though sometimes the only way to get the splinter is by doing that, it doesn't usually need to be done that way. Soaking it with warm water can loosen it too!

I say protest peacefully but maybe also write some strongly worded letters and make flyers/Facebook events/cover photos etc. Getting the word out on social media is probably a good idea.

 

I pull out the sewing needles to stab and shred my skin when the splinter can't be grabbed with tweezers. Unfortunately, that's every splinter I get because when I get a splinter, I pile-drive it into my flesh.

 

TotalBiscuit pans Battlefront:

 

Star Wars Battlefront...if you're looking for an in-depth, elaborate shooter: this is not it. If you are looking to have fun and run around maps and/or just be stupid, this is it.
I do the latter. It is fine for me.

I need to stop changing my avatar.

 

Yeah, I play Battlefront to run around and have fun. It's a party game. That's all I want it to be.

If I wanted a serious shooter, I'll just play Doom.

 

Last night I got this phone call telling me to travel to the northern border because my colleague monitoring the refugee situation there fainted and had to be taken to the hospital. And now I just got a second call telling me that he died of a heart attack. Healthy man, my age, went to the gym three times a week, no drinking, no smoking, no nothing, wife and three kids, all-around great person. And poof, like that, he's gone.

 

Chyntuck . That's so sad, and I am so sorry to hear that. I don't know the family, of course, but I am sending my best wishes to them anyways. I hope you are doing alright, too. It is unfortunate that it happened so unexpectedly.

 

Wow, Chyntuck. Sorry to hear that. Kinda makes me question the purpose of life if it can just abruptly end for no reason like that.

 

Wow Chyn, that's gotta suck, but try not to worry too much. Hopefully your colleague's family will be able to carry on, and I'm certainly concerned for them, but be careful not to let what happened to him affect your own life. It's an old theme (in TV land, at least) that, upon hearing of the sudden death of a friend or acquaintance, a character will suddenly go into a tailspin of paranoia about their own health, with predictable consequences.

 

I am so very sorry to hear that Chyn. My father was your age when he died. It wasn't a huge surprise, but still devastating. I am sorry for the family.

 

Sorry to hear about that, Chyn'.

 

We must be living the same life as I found out that an artist I met at Horrorfind died suddenly a couple days ago. Just like that.

I'm sorry to hear that, though, Chyntuck.

 

That's terrible, Chyn and Trak.

 

Hearing the news of the sudden and unexpected death of someone you know can feel like you were hit by a truck or a train.

Sometimes you just pray very hard that the news you received is somehow wrong and that they are still alive.

Some added vigilance isn't wrong since some things can be hidden killers but if it's your time to go it's your time to go.

I'm sorry to hear about your colleagues, Trak and Chyntuck.

 

My new computer is 120 miles away and the FedEx truck will probably deliver it to my home tomorrow! I'm currently downloading a couple of games off of my Steam account that I couldn't play before to my external hard drive.

My mom's also doing great after having arthroscopic surgery on Monday. She'll probably have to have a partial knee replacement in a year, however. She's actually okay with the prospect, as her knee's been giving her problems for over a year now.
