youre not saving the world, rick

Grookey scares me

“You called yourself out for ‘straighsplaining’“ 

the whole bi thing goes completely over charles’ head and he keeps getting really aggro like “oh you and jake were real close huh?? too bad, sucker jake is MY best friend!” 

everybody else is like “charles no” 

Come on @morthils this isn’t Gina Linetti we’re talking about. Stay in character.

The only way Jake would have had a high school boyfriend and not told Amy and Holt is if Jake himself did not realize that this dude was his boyfriend.

He would describe the relationship to Amy and she’d be like, “So you guys were dating” and he’d be like “It wasn’t like that that” and she’d be like:

:|

and Jake would be like, OH MY GOD. I HAD A BOYFRIEND IN HIGH SCHOOL. WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS.

Sometimes people hit a place in their life where things are going really well. They like their job and are able to be productive at it; they have energy after work to pursue the relationships and activities they enjoy; they’re taking good care of themselves and rarely get sick or have flareups of their chronic health problems; stuff is basically working out. Then a small thing about their routine changes and suddenly they’re barely keeping their head above water.

(This happens to me all the time; it’s approximately my dominant experience of working full-time.)

I think one thing that’s going on here is that there are a bunch of small parts of our daily routine which are doing really important work for our wellbeing. Our commute involves a ten-minute walk along the waterfront and the walking and fresh air are great for our wellbeing (or, alternately, our commute involves no walking and this makes it way more frictionless because walking sucks for us). Our water heater is really good and so we can take half-hour hot showers, which are a critical part of our decompression/recovery time. We sit with our back to the wall so we don’t have to worry about looking productive at work as long as the work all gets done. The store down the street is open really late so late runs for groceries are possible. Our roommate is a chef and so the kitchen is always clean and well-stocked.

It’s useful to think of these things as load-bearing. They’re not just nice - they’re part of your mental architecture, they’re part of what you’re using to thrive. And when they change, life can abruptly get much harder or sometimes just collapse on you entirely. And this is usually unexpected, because it’s hard to notice which parts of your environment and routine are load bearing. I often only notice in hindsight. “Oh,” I say to myself after months of fatigue, “having my own private space was load-bearing.” “Oh,” after a scary drop in weight, “being able to keep nutrition shakes next to my bed and drink them in bed was load-bearing.” “Oh,” after a sudden struggle to maintain my work productivity, “a quiet corner with my back to the wall was load-bearing.”

Light, slamming his hands on his desk: “Goddamnit!! I’ve already made a mistake! Now the police force comprehends that a single resident in Kanto is responsible for the execution of criminals en masse. Even though I have always been in danger, I worry now that my fears of being caught will be realized. I do not fear death, no, but I do fear my progress being stopped. For if I am killed, whom else shall judge the world? Could it be possible for another human to take on such a task after seeing what has happened to the world thus-far? There is no question, of course, that humanity must be cleansed of evil. The question therein lies in who shall carry out the necessary deeds. And I will not let anyone deter me from this path.”

yOU WANNA ROTATE TEXT?! well mod 5ider has got the fucking t r i c k s homie

Step one: Type something.

P E R F E C T.

sTEP TWO: FIND THE RESIZE OPTION.

You see that little resize button on your menu?

Yeah, that’s the one. you can just click that shit!

On older versions of MS Paint there isn’t this option, but you can always find it with a quick right-click.

THERE IT FUCKING IS!!!!!

 STEP THREE: STRETCH AND SKEW

When you click resize, this menu comes up.

I’m sure you all have seen this menu before, but for those who don’t, I’ll clue you in. The top options control the length and respective width of your artwork. you can choose to alter them separately,

or all together

Using that little “Maintain Aspect Ration” checkbox there, but that’s not important right now.

wHat we’re focusing on is that skew option on the botttom.

with that you can t i l t whatever image yuo have on your screen to the left

to the right

up

and down.

“BUT 5IDER!!!!!” you say, “THAT DOESN’T LOOK ROTATED AT ALL”

wELL HOLD ON TO YOUR LUG NUTS BECAUSE I T ’ S T I M E F O R

STEP 4: ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOO!!!!!

now, comes the fun part. unlike its aspect ratio locked cousin, the stretch and skew options work independently from one another. So, you can do things like 

and

But that’s neither here nor there… what gets REALLY interesting is when your ratios are in opposite directions..

HOME RUN!

Now, before I let you go, I found out through trial and error that an angle doesn’t exactly match up with its negative dimension…

(Step 5: Angular ratios)

See? there’s a little offset between vertical and horizontal if your expect your text to appear natural instead of tilted. The only places that this offset reaches zero is at 90° (of course) and the rare and extremely dangerous 45° rotations.

Fortunately, I’ve already mapped out a few angles that I find are very useful in my works so, for your viewing pleasure… i present my handy dandy graph

All you have to do is match up your desired angle up to its respective complement and you have quickly and efficiently rotated your first word in MS Paint.
