Read the rubric! I'm at SNHU, so ymmv at other schools, but read the rubric. They grade to that, and it doesn't matter how exceptional your work is, if it doesn't meet the rubric, you're boned. If it's mediocre and meets the rubric, it's at least a passing grade. Other than that, utilize any extras your school offers. Snhu offers tutoring, both schedules and drop in, writing labs, all kind of academic help. If you're ever struggling, call your advisor and let them know. They can suggest things to help, or potentially even get you withdrawn from a class you know you won't pass.

Do you plan on going in person or online?

That last panel is how I feel having signed my stupid ass up for college at 30.

God, imagine a vacation company whose entire schtick is that they will screen your calls, provide you cocoa, warm snuggly blankets, and private beds, babysit the kids, and provide a convincing doctors note for work. You go there, and you just nap and Netflix for a weekend.

Ngl, fully expected a clip from South Park.

That was a fantastic read. Thank you for sharing that!

WTF was the original comic here?

I save up thread, yarn and fabric scraps that are too small to do anything with in a shoebox, and then use it to stuff small pillows and such.

Oh, completely agree. It's ridiculous for people to fear that reaction, and ridiculous for people to assume something based on a compliment. But it's one of those things that isn't going to change until we all just say fuck it and change it. I'm rooting for gen z to do this. Lol.

Honestly, the solution to this, I think, is to start complimenting other men. Men don't compliment each other because they're afraid of being seen as gay (even if they're not aware of it, it's fully ingrained into us from the time we're children). Breaking that barrier and complimenting other men, and not (openly) caring about that stigma will help other men do the same. Eventually, men will start complimenting each other.

Note, I say this as a gay man, so I'm sort of past the whole humiliation of people thinking I'm gay bit. I understand it would likely be more difficult for a straight guy, because you (they?) have to also worry about losing potential romantic partners if people think you're queer.

I can't remember who did it, but there's a YouTuber who always clearifies his phones when he gets a new one by removing the back and putting a gorilla glass back on it. Haven't seen his videos in a while, I don't think, but he has several iirc.

YouTube on both counts. I've tried knitting a few times and it just didn't work for me. Tried English and continental. Finally stumbled on Portuguese and it just worked perfectly. I've only knit a few things since learning, but my main problem now is that anything beyond knit and purl I have to try and translate into Portuguese, and it makes it a bit difficult sometimes.

I had the same thought. They're in the mavity universe/timeline right now, and somehow righting things back to gravity is going to also reset the flux stuff so that half the flipping universe isn't destroyed. RTD likes to clean up messes if I remember correctly (I'm not the super fan some are, so I might be misremembering?), like how in the star beast the roads somehow repaired themselves after cracking open. I think he's setting it up to clean up the aftermath of Flux.

Even the t-rexes?

Especially the t-rexes.

Suddenly I've had a weekend like in my 20s, but I didn't have to spend a bunch of money on overpriced cocktails.

The real question is, do I magically end up with a boring, closeted "straight" guy who pumps and runs directly afterwards, or am I just walking home naked? Because depending on how that answers, it's either a weekend from my early 20s, or my vacation to Mexico a few years back.

When it comes to CBT, I'm more of a verse.

I do appreciate my likeness being used for advertising.

Wishful thinking.

This is the same reason I replaced my vinyl siding with the skin of my enemies. Properly conditioned, it is very insulating and protects my home from the rain.

Probably bone. Most of the people I've had sex with, sex has been the only thing we've had in common. If it's everyone I've had sex with, it's going to be a little crowded, but I'd imagine we could all have quite a bit of fun.
