Little regional differences like that are super cool and interesting and probably maybe definitely shouldn't be labelled with rude portmanteaus.
Not that I disagree, but at the same time
homogeneity is comforting, "normal" is a convenient social touchpoint, and regional differences frequently amount to institutionalized bigotry.
There are a lot of cool local cultural things out there, but sometimes the local culture is questioning your sexuality if you don't drive a truck and enjoying a rousing game of "kill the queer" at your family reunion.
While I'd agree that my two statements were very terse and broad sweeping, I did intend them to apply to the situation presented in m3ance's post or situations similar to that and not as an endorsement of moral relativism or anything like that.
Things like regional differences in cakes and pronunciation are not equivalent to a region's proclivity towards the worst actions or modes of thought that mankind has to offer and I didn't mean to imply that they were.
As for homogeneity being a source of comfort, I suppose it can be, but in my experience the pleasure derived from the familiar is only possible, or at least it's greatly enhanced, when contrasted with experiences with the unfamiliar, which, admittedly, isn't a particularly novel observation.

So uhh, you guys should watch Frances Ha, it's probably the most charismatic movie ever, so there. Also, it leaves you feeling happy without it being a shit film.
Yeah, I mean, who doesn't love it? I mean besides me of course, I'm not sure how to like it, can my apathy be salvaged? It seems like one of those nerdy things I've missed the bus on and I should be taking it in with a passionate furvor alongside my fellow denizens. But alas it was not to be.
I didn't pump the brakes enough while marathoning Nightvale episodes and crashed head-on into a brick wall of "alright, yeah, I get it". I've been slowly trying to pick it up again, and it looks like they eventually claw out of the endless loop of "thing appears that cannot be known, everyone plays like its no big deal" or "mundane thing is treated like it is existentially horrifying, lol wuts wrong w these ppl" and getting more into exploring concepts and ideas introduced in previous episodes.
However, lets be clear
and, maybe this is telling of a personal flaw
But nobody should take anything in with the kind of passionate fervor that typifies any given internet fandom.

Who did that comic where the protagonist cuts their hand off and smears blood over the face of the person opposite the table in order display what they do as an artist?
Trying to explain to a mate how absurd situations can only be funny if they are done with a high degree of seriousness and that comic immediately came to mind.

But duh it's a profitable enterprise:
Step 1. Watch Dr. Who. Stick with it, there's this one episode with some statues that'll change your life.
Step 2. Draw some fan art or something. Get that shit on Tumblr and share it with everyone on Facebook, get internet famous.
Step 3. Go to a con, preferably wearing a fez to show your love. Buy everyone's fanart and memorabilia, plaster your room with it. Alternatively if you've got a booth be sure to sell something with Dr. Who on it cause let's be honest, original content will not get you the fast stacks.
Yeah I only go 2 at a time. It has so much Randomness, that randomness itself has become rote. Like those types of kids who would read off their stories and try to throw so many "silly" moments in it that it's no longer a cohesive story. You give up on it pretty early, and the rest of the time you listen as they throw darts at the big imagination board in their head. Like madlips without using "Fuck" and "Ass" for every verb and noun. "A unicorn, was churningmayonaise, in the Nativity Scene." Night vale seems to have started off a lot like that, but slowly as I'm moving through these episodes, a larger and larger percentage of the time he uses per episode is referring back to a continuation of prior observations.
It's got some good laughs, and as I mentioned, the randomness plays well when it comes to the "Weather" which is a segment where they go. "And now the weather" and then play a random song. They are sometimes terrible and sometimes great, but the inclusion of it into the story kind of forces you to experience something you would not have normally in the past.
So, I just read the news post that Scott Kurtz put up about Tauhid Bondia. That's certainly ironic that Scott would have a Tauhid guest strip and also plug Tauhid's Angry Dead comic too. I mean, they have a bit of a history.
They settled their differences long ago. Sometimes that forms a connection in itself. Tauhid being of a professional caliber in comic creation means he will probably often get utilized as a guest artist whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Ugh, I'm attending this local figure drawing thing every week in some weird community building where they do flamenco dance or some shit. The drawing part is awesome - but I can't handle the shitty fold-out chairs they have. After about 15 minutes my ass falls asleep, or my back starts to hurt like hell, and it just throws me off. I'm bummed, cause I need that live model time, but it sucks going there and knowing that you could have drawn better had you stayed home.
Is it possible for you to stand while doing your studies? If there aren't really any physical reasons for you needing to sit down, then I'd recommend it.
There are probably a bunch of cheap, portable, easels at your local art place, if the easels or tables at the community building don't allow for standing.

While you are drawing, passively aggressively do these things;
- Complain about back pain
- Ask if anyone else is having back pain
- Talk about the great seating in the other figure drawing class you go to
- Shuffle in your seat every 30 seconds
- Moan a little bit whenever you shuffle
- Lie on the ground in a faux attempt to aleviate your back pain
- Ask around if someone has anything stronger than paracetomol
I cycled to work today. First time cycling to the new job this year. Unfortunately, Google Streetview doesn't show you the bike trail that they recommend taking on the route they provide. If I could've seen the trail a bit more than the entrance and exit I might've known about the massive incline right at the end of it and maybe chose a different way of getting to work in the morning.

Unfortunately the class is full of Swedish seniors, and none of them speak english. I did like, half of this last time - no shits given. I can't bring a chair, since it's too far. I could stand upright, but I don't know where they keep the easles, some people do use them though. I figure next time I'll just roll up with some towels, and make a little cozy fort to draw from.

also, @Flay if Dustin Hoffman has taught me anything it's that weird shit is about to go down.
I told her they went well and asked her what she was up to.
Her response was, "Oh, just sitting at my desk going through some paperwork."

Ur... you might want to rephrase that. All I can think of when hearing "Grand Wizard."
He's the grand high wizard. Stoned and peaceful.
