The problem with the fake blood is that you're asking people who live make believe lives to make believe in the same way you do. i bet someone who thinks they're a vampire is pretty resistant to outside change.

They were sort of going out of style, with health awareness at an all time high. But with these dumb kids huffing glycerol it makes me want to take up smoking tobacco just to blow it in their fat faces.

Quite often they're desperate and have run out of options and the difference from this guy is that they haven't arranged for family and friends to help them out and they often end up with zero pledges. It's the saddest, most pathetic thing. There's also always a bunch of people begging for money so they can afford a medical procedure for themselves, or a medical procedure for their pet so they can save its life and not have to put it down. I'd go find a few examples but scrolling through dozens and dozens of those projects is really depressing.

It's the saddest, most pathetic thing. The good thing about that is that it seems like friends and co-workers of his family are making donations, as well. It's one of those things were a family member can share that link among their own social media and have someone drop a spare $5 or $10 to help out someone's nephew in a time of need.

I know of two people who have used crowdfunding for medical expenses and recovery from bouts of cancer. I pretty sure that GoFundMe was founded for reasons like that, since it seems less like "fund this hot new product" and more "I need help getting through this emergency".

Yeah I've got an artist friend who had pretty much all her art supplies stolen from her workshop and another friend created a GoFundMe page for her and put it on Facebook and her friends donated thousands of dollars within a few days. For the right people in the right situation it can be a lifesaver.

Locopaleofreegonomy is the ONLY way to prevent overpopulation while also increasing lateral access to self-actualizing "heal-thoughts" which will help save us from another dull-rear end tangent about fuckin' hamburgers. This is from pages and pages back but I'm catching up and this is fantastic.

Eh, when I was coming off of a 6 month vacation and starting work on my resumé, I couldn't focus for poo poo. I used an app called SelfControl for a week or so - it works at a deep enough level in the OS that turning it off is frankly harder than just starting working - and that was the kicker that I needed. And, as far as 'forcing' willpower, you're wrong. It's like a muscle, it gets better with practice. When you're first really starting to build discipline, tools to help make it stronger are useful and helpful, unlike your posting.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with tools to help build better habits. The thing is most of those are simple and cheap, and just making yourself use them is the big hurdle. It's not something that requires any particularly fancy products.

Funnily enough I used to work with a guy who wrote an app to remind himself to *stop* working. It would just shut down his work VPN access for ten minutes every two hours, as well as for a lunch hour and 8 hours sleep. He was a home worker who lived on his own and loved his job so much that I don't think we'd have had to pay him in anything more than food and shelter. He had on more than one occasion worked himself to the point of collapse and had to be threatened with disciplinary action to make him actually take some time off. (Then the poor bugger died of a heart attack while on one of those app-enforced breaks )

Wedemeyer posted:The face of a vampire who's going to stir some corn syrup for you. This guy's strange face shape is very similar to another "internet famous" vampire who got trolled hard a few years back due to his post event psychic predictions (he'd see things that happened in the world then say he predicted them and totally made them happen). Possibly not the guy in question, but if phrenology is a dependable science (and it is) this guy has the correct skull dimension of a loving lunatic vampire.

 Looks like one of those smaller airline sodas to me. I'm surprised they didn't show a large picture with all the pockets utilized and full of poo poo. Instead they just show pictures of people wearing it like a regular (ie; cheap) sweatshirt jacket. edit: certainly not going to get a goony XXL Double Dew in that thing, that's for sure.

I'm looking for an old-rear end Kickstarter. I think it was made not long after the whole crowdfunding thing got traction. It was made by a guy who had won $50 millions in the lottery and decided to put in 1(?) million towards an MMORPG and wanted another 100 or something from a kickstarter. The game had the usual feature bloat with crafting, raiding, massive world, housing etc etc. Essentially the WoW-killer game we've seen again and again, accompanied by pictures stolen from a game-maker software. The guy's head look like a pear, no joke. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
