Wholly agree. Enjoy the premise, it doesn’t matter if it’s fiction.

Artists complain that people think their profession isn’t real work and that they don’t deserve the money they charge. They get a lot of request for free work “for exposure” or to “build the portfolio” as an excuse for not wanting to pay actual money.

Apparently tentacle stuff dates pretty far back in their culture.

Yeah but I still think compensation for my effort is fair.

Salt isn’t bad for you unless you are overdoing it. Avocados are perceived to be a healthier alternative to peanut butter on toast though I’m not sure that’s completely accurate if you aren’t using peanut butter with a bunch of extra stuff in it.

Avacados need to be really ripe and you have to add a lot of salt to really get their flavor.

Maybe they don’t like avocado toast but feel obligated to eat it every morning.

So? Nothing in a developing child’s life should be unregulated. Every generation has some kind of complaint from the one before. My parents thought the amount of time I was on my computer (pre-WWW) was unhealthy. Before that it was too much television.
My kids learned to count by two and read fairly easily by four because I gave them an iPad with education programs on it. It’s not the screens, it’s the content that you have to regulate. Don’t blame the iPhone. Blame the idiots on YouTube who create mindless videos of Fortnite or filling the worlds largest water balloon and then jumping on it.

I’m in my 40s with two kids.

(Looks around) You take that back!

Who said he was a licensed professional?

I doubt I would choose to participate in a similar situation but I don’t know if I think it’s scummy if everyone knows what’s up.

But if Big Ben were to explode it would create this effect, would it not?

I understand it. I just don’t like it.

I mean, if concealable is where you’re trying to go that’s fine. I prefer a bomb that you can take out in public and show off. Something you can take pride in.

I think you mean girth, n00b.
