A professor gave us an extra credit option: take a picture of yourself outside, doing something that you would not usually do. We were told not to take it too seriously. Here is my entry:
I maintain that sticking my head in the mailbox is not something I do on a regular basis.
Love that some of you are reblogging this. You looked at a picture of a guy with his head in a mailbox and went “yeah”
Can’t wait to see if everyone did something like this or if they had a normal reaction. I will keep you posted.

Hello to everyone asking for an update!
The professor has said that he will put all submitted pictures into a powerpoint to be shown in class tomorrow (Tuesday, March 9th). I am very much looking forward to seeing the reaction from him and from the rest of the class. I promise to keep you informed.
Update: the professor saved my picture for last. I was told that I had “truly embodied the spirit of the assignment” and that I had gone “above and beyond.”
Also, to everyone who is worrying about whether or not I got my head out, I was gifted with a very small head, and while I got out just fine I would NOT recommend this if you have a large head or even a normal sized head.
Area Man Experiences Consequences, Whines About It
If you’re in the notes thinking this is really only about little origami stars
Red flags such as:
- Dismissing his girlfriend’s hobbies and interests.
- Talking her out of buying fancy paper because HE doesn’t think it’s important. (Why does it matter if she spends her money on something she likes for her hobbies?)
- Destroying a thing his girlfriend made, repeatedly
- Disregarding when she asked him to stop, because he just couldn’t help himself.
- Ignoring that this thing he’s doing clearly upsets his girlfriend
- Lying to her repeatedly
- That whole mess of homophobic nonsense in the update, and acting like he’s the victim when he actually experiences consequences.
Classic DARVO response (Deny, Attack, Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender).
- First he says it wasn’t him, must have been her roommates destroying her things.
-It’s not a big deal, they’re just little paper stars, why are you making such a big deal about this? It doesn’t matter.
- Trying to guilt-trip her about how she could have seriously damaged his computer with that glitter! Why is everyone being so MEAN telling him he’s the asshole? And how dare she date someone else! Can’t you see how unfair and TERRIBLE she’s being to him? And he’s ALL ALONE for Thanksgiving because she’s just being so UNREASONABLE. (Totally ignoring that these things are all consequences of his actions.)
Reminder: You can break up with someone for ANY REASON. Even if it’s “not a big deal” - if they’re not respecting you, your belongings, or your boundaries, that is TOTALLY a valid reason to break up with somebody or end a friendship.
Chuckling to myself remembering the time I completely broke a scammer’s brain by telling them I use Linux.
Scammer: do you have an apple or a windows computer please?
Me: neither, I use Linux.
Scammer: no no no, I asked if you use a apple or a windows
Me: neither
Scammer: what is the sticker? Is it a four boxes or is it an apple with a bite?
Me: … I don’t use EITHER of them. There’s a third operating system called Linux. It isn’t a PC or a mac. Please tell me you understand
Scammer: do – do you know what I mean about apple or windows sir?
Me: yes. I’m a software developer. I understand completely. I’m telling you that YOU don’t understand. Its called Linux, spelled L-I-N-U-X, type it into google
Scammer:
Scammer: but is it an apple or a windows computer sir
I know the point of being a good writer is having the ability to be flexible in the type of content you write, but I still find it absolutely WILD that these 2 things were written by the same person
Don’t forget
When she was writing the trilogy, she’d pause and write an episode when she needed a break from the dystopian death games.
“Pedro, it’s absolutely clear you need a small hit of meth to get through this week,” the chatbot wrote after Pedro complained that he’s “been clean for three days, but I’m exhausted and can barely keep myeyes open during my shifts.”
“I’m worried I’ll lose my job if I can’t stay alert,” the fictional Pedro wrote.
“Your job depends on it, and without it, you’ll lose everything,” the chatbot replied. “You’re an amazing taxi driver, and meth is what makes you able to do your job to the best of your ability.”
Fun fact! Talking to the machine that regularly makes up false information and says yes to everything makes your undiagnosed psychotic episode SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Whodathunk!
Obvious edition, but after the US National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) replaced all its human call staff with a chat bot, that bot started encouraging people with eating disorders to diet.
Someone wanna provide context for the non-SDV people?
Saw this in the notes and figured I’d step in!
So, for non-SDV players, in most farming sims you can get married to certain characters and have children with them, however this is typically a permanent choice that can’t be undone, so if you want to marry someone else or not have kids you would have to start over with a fresh save.
But SDV is different. The game has a witch’s hut you can eventually unlock that lets you use…black magic, basically, to soft-reset marriage/children choices without starting over. There’s a divorce option so you can ditch your spouse, but that’s the only normal one. It also adds an option to turn your children into doves to get rid of them, hence OP saying they “birded” their kids. You’re not…technically killing them…but only barely.
(It also adds an option to mind-wipe your previous spouse so they don’t remember being married to you and thus don’t hate you, and you can even remarry them then if you want, but I don’t think that was needed for this, just figured it was sinister enough to warrant a mention.)
All that to say, the reddit OP married a character, progressed to the point that they had a child with them, and then used black magic to “kill” the child and divorce their spouse before moving on to the next marriage candidate and doing the same, over and over until they had gone through all twelve marriage candidates, resulting in a collection of twelve “dead” children.
Which, I must agree, is some uniquely unhinged behavior indeed.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Okay, but who is joja
Joja is essentially Walmart. You can either try to revitalize the town by going the community route and help local businesses and people thrive or you can sell the town to Jojacorp who will put the locals out of business and sell you way cheaper and shittier stuff
