Today at work, I was minding my own business, didn't see one of the kids chairs that one of my coworkers had left out behind me when he was putting away books. I took a few steps backward and tripped over it. Landed on my knee, had the chair go up into my rib cage (I'm damn lucky I didn't break a rib) and landed on my right hand while landing on my pinky.

I got up and told my coworker that he needs to be more conscious about putting chairs away when not using them because it could have been a customer.

My manager on duty called the paramedics for the college/school I work at, they came over and checked me out, told me I was fine, but as company procedure dictates they told me that I needed to go to a 24-hour emergency center to get my pinkie checked out...

It was there that they x-rayed my pinkie and discovered it was broken.

Joy of joys.

How's your day going? :)

I'm making a power for a project I'm working on, and wanted to know the information for consistency purposes. Thanks in advance for any help! EDIT: Pierce* not piece. Sorry for any confusion. I'm on mobile and didn't catch the typo.

This is my first post, did I do it right?

I need ideas for a cool name for an undead triumvirate. Me and couple of other players in my group have come up with some character concepts that involve being undead minionmancers and we need a cool/daunting name.

I hope that this post doesn't go against any of the subreddit rules but I wished to share some of the book's lore sections since it was only 5 pages long and I know some people here were most likely curious about its fluff.

>It was only chance that saw the Cult of the Pauper Princes discovered on Terra. In an age when Humanity suffered one disaster after another, the detection of this latest peril was a blessing from the Emperor. An underhive stimm-deal gone sour triggered a violent turf war between rival gangs in the depths of the Arcology Veracitum nepglis. When the local Adeptus Arbites forces responded to the escalating violence, their quarry retreated into the long-disused mag-transit network dug into the arcology's foundations. It was a transgression neither the fleeing gangers nor the majority of those who pursed them would live to rue.

The Sol System, is, of course, massively garrisoned and fortified against threats from without. Yet to even voice aloud the suggestion that corruption could lurk within the shadow of the Emperor's throne is considered heresy by many. Coupled with hide-bound tradition, and a fear of betrayal whose source is lost beneath the dust of millenia, this notion has long made complex the raising or stationing of Astra Militarum soldiery upon Terran soil.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Book VI Begins

• Clear Book VI, Chapter

Oh my fucking god. I’ve only beaten the first two worlds and this game has some of the best damn atmosphere and level design ever. Let’s start with boletaria, if this world was a person, I’d have sexual relations with it, it is such a goddamn perfect world with the first level being my favorite, with traveling through the battlements and having phalanx as a boss with the level giving you fire stuff all the while is such a nice setup and it really makes the boss enjoyable. But most of all the atmosphere. Mmmmmm the atmosphere, if the atmosphere were a person I’d have sexual relations with it. So gritty and dark in the right places but it’s also so beautiful and majestic with the mountain setting and you see buildings and streets that you could once imagine having people walking on them. And all the bosses have an awesome design, if the boss design were a person, I’d have sexual relations with them. Phalanx is such a red mess of bones and spears it’s super cool, tower knight is a big ass knight with a big ass shield, what more could you want? And the penetrator. Holy shit. That’s a dope ass armor, if that armor were a person I’d have sexual relations with it. And then after that you go to a world with even better level design! Shrine 2 has such an awesome mining setting and cool bosses! Every single boss is a knock outta the park here. If these bosses were people, I’d have sexual relations with them. Especially the flameluker, or as I call him, fire gorilla. Mf got the donkey Kong forward smash for his main attack. And the dragon god. Ooooh shit! I fucking love this guy! The boss is such a fresh take on a boss in this game, oooooh fuck I love this guy, if the dragon god were a person, I’d have sexual relations with them. And finally the weapons. Ooooh my sweet sweet two handed weapons, if the meat cleaver and the dragonbone smasher were a person, I’d have sexual relations with them! In conclusion with demon souls, play the fucking game. TLDR: if demon souls were a person, I’d have sexual relations with them

The Scary Future of the American Right

What I saw at the National Conservatism Conference.

David Brooks | November 18, 2021

Rachel Bovard is one of the thousands of smart young Americans who flock to Washington each year to make a difference. She’s worked in the House and Senate for Republicans Rand Paul, Pat Toomey, and Mike Lee, was listed among the “Most Influential Women in Washington Under 35” by National Journal, did a stint at the Heritage Foundation, and is now policy director of the Conservative Partnership Institute, whose mission is to train, equip, and unify the conservative movement. She’s bright, cheerful, and funny, and has a side hustle as a sommelier. And, like most young people, she has absorbed the dominant ideas of her peer group.

One of the ideas she’s absorbed is that the conservatives who came before her were insufferably naive. They thought liberals and conservatives both want what’s best for America, disagreeing only on how to get there. But that’s not true, she believes. “Woke elites — increasingly the mainstream left of this country — do not want what we want,” she told the National Conservatism Conference, which was held earlier this month in a bland hotel alongside theme parks in Orlando. “What they want is to destroy us,” she said. “Not only will they use every power at their disposal to achieve their goal,” but they’ve already been doing it for years “by dominating every cultural, intellectual, and political institution.”

As she says this, the dozens of young people in her breakout session begin to vibrate in their seats. Ripples of head nodding are visible from where I sit in the back. These are the rising talents of the right — the Heritage Foundation junior staff, the Ivy League grads, the intellectual Catholics and the Orthodox Jews who have been studying Hobbes and de Tocqueville at the various young conservative fellowship programs that stretch along Acela-land. In the hallway before watching Bovard’s speech, I bumped into one of my former Yale students, who is now at McKinsey.

Bovard has the place rocking, training her sights on the true enemies, the left-wing elite: a “totalitarian cult of billionaires and bureaucrats, of privilege perpetuated by bullying, empowered by the most sophisticated surveillance and communications technologies in history, and limited only by the scruples of people who arrest rape victims’ fathers,

This is not meant to be a super build that makes Fists overpowered (that would be Merciful End). Rather, it's more intended to help beginners understand how to use the Twin Fists of Malphon with a setup that relies on only two gods (Zeus and Poseidon) to work properly. From recent posts in the sub it's clear that the fists are counter-intuitive for many, but they happen to be my best weapon, so hopefully this advice helps.

One reason I suspect people struggle with the Fists is that they're radically different from the first four weapons, which share a few traits:

• Rewards careful play: bow, shield

• Encourages staying somewhat at range: bow, spear, shield to a lesser extent

• Comparatively narrow hitbox for attacks: sword, spear, bow

• Special covers flaw of attack: sword (area), shield (range), spear (range), bow (area)

The fists are the complete opposite of these in all respects. They reward extremely aggressive play, close-up - there's a reason that most of the characters you meet remark on the savage, animalistic nature of the Fists. Their wild swings and close range also make aiming somewhat less important. The downside is that the special has the same limitations as the main attack, meaning that ranged enemies have Zagreus at a disadvantage.

This guide is aimed at the Zagreus aspect of the fists. The other three are meant to be played very differently, with a greater focus on the special attack, and new players might not even have them unlocked yet. They also can't be as aggressive because they lack the inherent miss chance that Zag fists provide.

tl;dr

Zeus attack, Poseidon dash, Sea Storm. Zeus call with Smoldering Air if you can find it. Round out with Artemis cast and Support Fire.

Mirror

Whatever you have unlocked is fine. For the fists I like to use Boiling Blood, Privileged Status, and Stygian Soul over their counterparts.

All biomes

• Hold down the attack button to attack continuously and quickly. You will also want to be constantly dashing, because Zag Fists have a much stronger dash strike than regular strike.

• Try to position yourself behind enemies to avoid their attacks.

• For stronger enemies, tag them with your cast so that you increase the damage you deal to them, and periodically re-apply Weak to make them hurt you less.

• This build doesn't need any Chaos boons in particular. Lunge and Strike are good since dash strikes will be your primary means of attacking.

Tartarus

• Bring Zeus's *

Humanity was under attack.

Considering the number of abilities that could sense danger, see possible futures or even more specialized powers that could help you predict your enemy’s moves it was impossible to completely hide any large scale event.

The Elf Queen was observing the three eldritch beings that were now surrounding Earth along with the fairly large army on its surface.

Humanity’s God was there too, somewhere. Scrying the area did not reveal his location but she could sense his presence. It had to be on purpose, if he wanted to be hidden she doubted he would have a presence at all.

Were they here to kill off humanity? With only slightly over twenty million soldiers? They would have surely brought more if that was their target. It was more likely they were targeting the human’s god.

Humanity did not have access to most forms of magic and had extremely standardized armies. This meant they could easily be hard countered if their enemies had enough resources and preparation time.

So, assuming this army had preparation time and ample resources, any humans who confronted it would die. Their god would be forced to intervene, stepping onto a world full of beings he cared about, he thus would not be able to use abilities that may cause mass damage to the surrounding world.

There was little she could do, from what the First Dwarf had said her and her pantheon had little chance against the god of humans, so what chance did she have against three gods who were planning on winning against him?

So she watched, as many others did. Beings from her pantheon, beings who weren’t, beings who were wishing for him to succeed and beings who wished for him to fail.

They all watched to see what the God of Humans would do.

A general looked down over the desert and the city in the distance.

There were tall buildings, big enough he could see them from here, a dozen stories tall or more.

He had seen bigger, entire worlds formed into one giant city that went up hundreds of stories, properly organized and productive swarm types had little to limit their growth with magic in the equation to supply them with food and other resources.

The local vegetation drew a few glances and they ended up appraising it with a few different abilities to ensure they grew there naturally. The desert shrubs grew sparsely, almost equidistant from each other as if they had been carefully planted.

They had not been planted by anything, that was just how desert vegetation grew. At le

Do your worst!

Chapter 1

Morale on the military vessel is low and everyone is on edge. Pawd'rig could cut the tension in the air with a knife. If he had a knife that could he decidedly wouldn't as he is afraid of what might come crawling out of it. For the majority of the standard day and at truly random intervals the speakers would blast out the most horrendous screaming, wailing and sobbing. It sounds like a woman watching her entire family from her parents and siblings to her lover and children are simultaneously being butchered in front of her. Talk around the ship has been they are not looped recordings. Each one is individual and different.

The screams have set everyone on edge. Many here have been the cause of such screams. Or had to watch as others caused it. So to hear it decontextualized from actual violence and in their normal lives light years from where any ghosts could be was blood chilling.

Pawd'rig thinks he knows what it is and what it means but he won't tell. He's afraid if he says it then it will come true. He concentrates very hard at not eating his food before him. It's taking him everything to not start blabbering about the demons he saw in the Nether when he was young. The demon had expositioned about how they'd sweep into his universe to bathe in blood in the name of their blood god. He plays with his food to not think about them.

They're the reason he has this awful life. At the time he was playing at being a criminal and someday becoming a famous outlaw however meeting literal demons intent on eating your universe tends to set one straight. He'd joined the military because he knew there was an existential threat out there that must be combated. His general anti-war views are very looked down upon so he keeps them to himself. In all his short career he's never actually shot someone. It’s not that his aim is terrible it's just he didn’t sign up for what the military actually want him to do. He let's people go, misses finding people in searches, he doesn't abuse prisoners, turns a blind eye to contraban. Because that's not what he signed up for.

As he musters up the concentration to bring the spoon to his mouth he, and everyone else in the mess hall, hears the sign of imminent screaming and wailing. That electronic tchk sound. The harbinger of anguish and pain. For their ears. The entire room falls into s

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

oh you thought you were hot shit, sending a decoy paddywagon too? like we never woulda seen that coming. like we never woulda been able to figure out that you're going to send two vans on alternate routes to make us pick one and do it at ass in the morning so you don't get stuck in traffic with all its collateral damage potential?

well, those are both pretty common sense ideas so good on u. unfortunately it's also common sense to expect that. but hey! we can all be competent together ❤️

A henchgal is kept on the PRT, and the second the vans move she's making a call, letting the capes know who is with which van and which route they were taking. This lets them make final prep on their ambush!

Transport A, Transporting Shredshot and Blur, the dastardly ex-ward duo. Dressed in simple orange prison jumpsuits with VILLAIN printed on the back. Basic Plain masks provided.

Both are dressed in restraints, Blur with much more simple conventional restraints, a rubber plug inserted into the keyhole to make it more difficult (But not impossible) to lockpick. Shred on the otherhand has been mildly sedated and is equipped with special Blaster specific restraints, that encase the arms in heavy blocks of metal, and keep the elbows locked.

Phalanx sitting in the passenger seat, the driver a trooper with a bean bag shotgun and a taser. Pleiades and Zietgiest in a second van following behind.

Team RED LIKE ROSES is stationed on I-35 by Colville, ready to intercept the van headed that way. Six maid mooks are with them, armed with rifles and ready to keep the PRT pinned down with covering fire. Amped Misfit and Wisteria.

Transport B, Transporting Village Idiot, the EXPERT at being a pain in the ass.

Dressed similarly, in a orange prison jumpsuit with VILLAIN printed on the back, a Basic plain Mask provided (Helpfully Bedazzled as a good sign of goodwill from Pleiades). With simple conventional restraints, a rubber plug inserted into the keyhole to make it more difficult (But not impossible) to lockpick.

Trickshot sitting in the Passenger seat, the driver a trooper with a bean bag shotgun and a taser. Ammonite and a pair of troopers with same armaments as the first in a second Van.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Hello, first off I want to say this is my 1st Soulsgame that I have played. I finished my 1st playthrough pretty much with a full strength build and a Dragon bone smasher and went straight into NG+. I am currently Soul Level 94 with the following stats:

Vitality: 40 Intelligence: 12 Endurance: 40 Strength: 37 Dexterity: 14 Magic: 13 Faith: 12 Luck: 7

So far in NG+ i have killed: phalanx, tower knight, armored spider, flamelurker, dragon god and adjudicator.

From this point on i really felt like everything hits me like a truck (more than usual), and i don't do much dmg if i dont stick with the DBS.

I tried to switch my weapons up to be more versatile/faster in combat for the prison of hope or the depraved chasm.

Should i instead be farming soul levels before continuing or did i f something major up in my build?

Is it worth upgrading Different swords of am i really just not good enough for ng+?

Any advice would be lovely!

HR are there to protect the company from you, not the other way around.

This prick literally must have looked at my raw numbers of sick days taken and decided to accuse me of faking illness. Mind you, I had taken only the sick days I was allowed to under Australian law… I had also taken additional days off, of UNPAID leave, because like an idiot, I believed in my company and didn’t think HR would pull this sort of shit.

So I quit and threatened to sue. This email chain may not be as satisfying to read as it was to write, but maybe one or two of you might get a kick out of it. I’ve removed identifying features (including an oddly-named department we used to have, not too many companies would have one by the same name, so it’s also redacted)

Also, the “sensitive surgery” I had to have was on my dick, I don’t mind saying here, but I didn’t want this fucker to have the satisfaction of laughing at me for it. Penis surgery isn’t fun, but it’s pretty funny, even to me!

Email chain:

HR GUY,

I have some feedback for you regarding your choice of words and level of professionalism at our last meeting in the (LOCATION) branch. During that meeting, you called attention to the amount of medical leave I have had to take during my time at (LARGE MULTINATIONAL COMPANY), including some leave without pay, over the last 2 years. You used the words “… some of which you may have been genuinely ill for”, directly implying that there was some leave I took during which I was not sick, and asking me what the likelihood was that this might happen again in future. I can only imagine that you hadn’t looked into the reasons I had to take leave, which were well documented. I will summarise for you now, for posterity’s sake, though you do already have full access to this information. In the last two years, I have had the bad luck to be subject to:

· Surgery on my left hand after a cycling accident incurred on my way to work, in which my 5th digit’s proximal phalanx was shattered into many fragments. During the surgery, a plate and 9 pins were inserted in the former location of the bone, where they remain. I came to work the day after having had this surgery, but was sent home and told to get a note from a doctor stating that I was healthy enough to work, which I duly did the following day and returned. I had fortnightly subsequent half-days at work in order to attend the physiotherapy sessions to ensure satisfactory functioning of my hand.

· Non-elective abdominal surger

When I got home, they were still there.
