Okay, yes, true, but they also constructed the entire N'avi language, created a fuckton of lore about the planet, and thoroughly fleshed out the lore and design of Earth and its voyage to and from Pandora.

This wasn't a visual feast made for the viewer, this was a feast made to employ all these skilled artisans in a massive production, and EVERYONE except the writers fucking blew it out of the water.

Incorrect enterpretation. If you want someone to take on great challenges, they must first manage small ones well, lest they fail and give up.

The book above is still somewhat long and challenging, but is more surmountable. It may yet open the door for some to tackle the heavier, dryer works.

That's how i see it, you make a significant bulk that can glide you for the rest of the week.

'As a laborer' does not sound like what an actual laborer would say.

Meal prep for hours? You can slam together a meal in under an hour and have that shit last half the week. I do that for work every week. Takes like 45 minutes most of the time. It's chicken, curry, veggies, and rice. Pretty much every time.

IRCs were notorious for this kind of behaviour. I remember when i first started linux I got long drawn-out lectures about how stupid I was for not getting why the issue i was having occurred, and that rather than get help I should RTFM. It can be real bad sometimes, and a lot of the time mods would provide no help to you against that kind of beratement. We've come a long way from then, though there's still plenty of pockets within the programming world that act this way.

Practice reading archived cursive notes. Then you'll be more than prepared to read this.

Edit: I want to be clear, this was not meant to be disparaging. There's centuries of documents written in cursive, and it's a reading skill that's mostly been dropped in modern education. If you're taught that skill, though, this round-hand font is not a problem to read. It is a weird choice for this meme, though.

Nah, this is more a perfect metaphor of looksmaxxing grifters and similar folks leading youths into toxic lifestyles.

Great quote from Paul Atraides.

I am guessing they may mean "down range" but couldn't fit it on the sign, so they put "in range"?
