Bartmanhomer Evil Random Banter Thread #237

I can understand that. Old 40k art is supremely detailed and I appreciate the skill it took to create but so much of it looks like it's got the plague laced into the page.

Oh yeah, too many details is bad. It's kind of why I like Girl Genius, it can be detailed with many great things in the background but it's never too detailed.

Went to look at apartments today.

Place 1 was right across from work, I could just walk there every day if I wanted. And since I work there, I get to waive 175 in admin fees. So that's awesome.

Place 2 had nicer, larger apartments with better layouts, but was further away (albeit not far, like 10 minutes tops) and had a significantly higher price tag.

Got a third and fourth place to look at tomorrow. One of them was the place I first looked at when I was looking into places to move to in NC. The other is right next to Place 1. So that's a thing.

That's wonderful, Half.

Well, it's less that, and more that early 40k art was deliberately disgusting and horrifying to look at. This is a demon, so yeah, it's supposed to look ugly, but they also draw a lot of humans like this. This is supposed to be Magnus the Red, a friggen Primarch, before he falls to Chaos and turns into a demon. And here's Leman Russ, loyalist primarch.

And yeah, that's a major point of 40k, humanity has fallen so far there's not even hope for recovery at this point, but it's still unpleasant to look at, even if there's a good reason for it. Some of it works really well and I like it, and the newer stuff can be downright amazing, but others... yurgh.

[Bartmanhomer]

Anyway. I'm at home relaxing in bed at the moment, watching CSI: The Original Series.

I used to read Girl Genius, because its premise of a bunch of mad scientist running amok all over Europe is cool, but at some point I lost interest. There's a lot going on in that comic and I'd kind of wish the author would focus a bit more on resolving already running plotlines before adding yet even more new stuff. At some point it started feeling too chaotic plot wise for my taste.

If the travel difference is only 10 minutes and both places are really close to work I'd probably favor place 2 if I'd be able to afford it as long as I wouldn't have to start worrying about my financial security. Good luck with checking out places 3 and 4!

The main furnace suddenly went out. It is nine degrees outside.

Luckily we have electric heaters, but...

Let us know if you die, Rater.

More seriously, my sympathies, hope your heaters are powerful enough to heat up the room without costing too much.

Ironically, that's not cool!

Indeed, it's pretty cold.

Eh, it's no more complicated than your standard 3000 page science fiction/fantasy trilogy. Plus it's likely all beginning to wind down.

It might also be easier to read everything together after it's finished. Some stories are better that way.

Yeah that's pretty cold Rater. Good luck!

Place 3 was the original place I was looking at. I think I would've been fine enough with it if I had just gone straight in without thinking further about it; it's right on the road that goes to work, it's close to shopping areas, apartments are nice, etc... but place 1 and 2 are both better options.

Why do people live there?!

Place 1 sounds ideal. You know, for a fact, you will be making the commute to work and back (presumably) five times a week. Making that as little an annoyance as possible really adds up.

[Zoidberg]If you call that living.[/Zoidberg]

I hate being patient. Patience isn't my strong suit.

It's not that cold all the time! Just most of the time!

Humans are space orcs?

It is currently 13º C here, which I would describe as absolutely freezing.

[Bartmanhomer]

We noticed.

Well, I'm glad that you noticed. Every time I have to wait outside for the movie theater to be open. I get frustrated. My mind tells me: "Open the door already so I can watch the movie." It's so frustrating.

Just stay inside, surrounded by the comfortable glow of the tv, the computer and books.

Oh please, i bet your hair doesnt even collect ice if you go outside.

Can I trade my space orcness for space dragoness?

Spoiler: I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to be one of these things.

Maybe you should consider that you're not the only person in the world and that other people are doing things in junction with you, and you might be more understanding and have more patience.

Capital idea!

I know that. I'm the type of person who's energetic at a fast pace. If I want something done, I'll do it very quickly.

I don't think you do know that. Of the three sentences you wrote there, two of them espouse a remarkably egocentric view in context of the conversation. You're ignoring that other people are different from you and you expect them to match you. You get annoyed when you don't. You're clearly not taking other people into consideration for anything other than what they are (or are not) doing for you.

They have stuff to do. Your movie is going to start at a set time regardless. The doors opening a couple minutes earlier isn't going to make the movie start any faster, and there's a reason those doors are closed (and that reason is the other people are doing things that need to be done before the doors open).

So what are you saying then?

[Fyraltari]

So what are you saying then?

That your frustration might lessen if you take the time to reflect as to why the movies isn't starting right now. Trying to think about things from other people's perspective might help you build your patience.
