A person of culture, I see. I still read it on occasion because, despite the grotesque nature, it causes uncontrollable giggles.

Haha No worries.

Community is my favorite show, so when I saw an opportunity to use a reference as a comment, I had to take it.

You really Britta'ed this meme...

I cherish losing the game, so I will kindly decline. Having been playing for 20 years, the losses are way less frequent and now conjure up memories from days of yore. To lose now is to win a moment of contemplation.

Yeah, the first thing that came to mind was stagnation.

Do the kids even know how to use Paint these days? Paint has become less user-friendly, though admittedly I don't have a reason to have kept up with the changes.

Sending you a virtual hug. Glad you got out and I hope you're healing.

As someone who did go to engineering school, I did not read funkless_eck's comment as denigrating artists, in any way. I read it as denigrating the unrealistic requests made by art-illiterate clients.

Both their and Captain Aggrevated's comments where about the unrealistic stresses put on their professions by the subject-illiterate colleagues/clients. They're highlighting the pain, which is cathartic but not how a real class would work; however, I didn't assume they're in here seriously proposing new pedagogy. This is the internet.

Humanities and Shop classes that teach the basics of other professions show that even the basics are more complex than an outsider would assume. So, yeah, engineers should round out their curriculum so they don't become jag-offs that expect unrealistic expectations.

I don't know what class you missed though, because you took a joke aimed at those dismissing your profession and chose to internalize it instead. Talk about playing to type; the self-obssessed artiste. If you’re an artist, hold the standard higher, please.

Find writings from religious scholars and priests about this hurt. Maybe even from other religions. You may feel alone in your hurt and anger but many many many people have experienced this situation and come out the other side with their faith strengthened.

This could be a call to leave simplistic faith behind. The childhood learned level of faith (Good/Bad) is where most adherents stop and that can smack against reality hard.

I'm impressed you found this insult without it being directly in response to you. You're a good detective man, even if a sad one.

Much love from your fellow Lemming, QQQ

Not a possum detective, that's for sure. They don't know shit about those critters!
