#anything i learned i cant put into practice. because the essential problem still remains

[merlions]

Trying to do my final assignment for nutrition, which is having us reflect on and explain what we would change about our diets based on a self-assessment we previously did on a week where I was having a flare and eating like shit, and getting continuously caught up trying not to just write "I KNOW HOW TO FEED MYSELF WELL, MY DIET DOES NOT REFLECT HOW MUCH I KNOW, I KNOW THAT I SHOULD COOK INTRICATELY PREPARED PARMESAN AND WALNUT CRUSTED TILAPIA WITH LIME MANGO SLAW AND STEAMED FUCKING PEAS EVERY GOD DAMNED DAY, BUT I DONT ALWAYS HAVE THE FUCKING ENERGY OR APPETITE OR TIME! I AM UTTERLY CONSTRAINED, IMPRISONED EVEN, BY WHAT MY BODY WILL ALLOW ME TO INGEST, AND BABY, IT AINT MUCH!" and then just copy and paste it over and over again until I hit the word limit

ACT OMEGA PART 10

THE 26/10/16 UPDATE

WOOOOOOO DOUBLE FUCKIN DIGITS YO. This is fantastic. So last time we left off, Dirk and Jake were gay and dumb. Now we are getting into the most anticipated interaction yet, Rosejade. Listen you people, you have no. idea how much I ship Rosejade. It ship it a l o t . . . Oh man it’s really cute. BUT Um YEAH LETS READ IT.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Jesus christ this is too cute. Jade is so fucking happy to see Rose aaaaa.

And Rose is just like “jesus jade dont knock me over”

ROSE: -Oof. JADE: nice to see you rose!!!

YES. YES it is.

Oh my god help its too cute. I love their droopy lil pajama sleeves, it really makes this so much better and im not sure why.

ROSE: (... Nice to see you too, Jade.) JADE: bark!

Goddammit. Ok its clear I have a problem here, Jade is too fucking cute.

Alright thank goodness, those cute detailed panels were a little too much for me. John’s creeping in the background, and Dave’s hanging out with Karkat. Jade doesn’t seem happy?

JADE: (oh my god im so sorry) JADE: (i cant believe i just did that!) JADE: (thats so embarrassing...)

Jade shut up it was cute.

ROSE: (No harm done.) ROSE: (It’s endearing, in a way.) ROSE: (Though perhaps the charm might simply be a patented Jade Harley trait.)

God, YES. Now Rose is complimenting her, and its probably in a platonic sense considering she has a girlfriend but JEEZ I ship it.

ok I hope my shipping of this doesn’t come off as annoying.

JADE: ..dawwww! :) ROSE: (But you might want to keep your voice down.) ROSE: (I’m not sure why it’s become so quiet, but I am perfectly willing to preserve this lull in activity.) ROSE: (Especially in order to sustain the pleasant conversation we’re currently having.)

Yes it is very pleasant. Very very.

JADE: oh ok! JADE: whoops JADE: (i mean) JADE: (ok) ROSE: (Now that our vocal chords have been successfully wrangled, we can get right into the thick of it.) ROSE: (It seemed like you had something to ask me when you approached.) JADE: (oh um yes i did!) JADE: (but im kind of unsure how to ask...) ROSE: (In moments like these, I think the best advice I can give is to say “fuck it”.) ROSE: (And do it anyway.) JADE: :o

great advice Rose. NOW Jade, what did you have to ask? It’s probably gonna be something extremely platonic and irrelevant to my ships, but you know what I can dream.

JADE: (well geez when you put it that way!) JADE: (heh...) ROSE: (Well?) JADE: (oh right yeah) JADE: (soooooo)

hrnK help

Oh. Right, it’s the Earth. So what did you need to ask then? What would Rose know about the Earth?

JADE: (i was wondering what you thought we should do about the earth!) JADE: (john said that taking care of it is supposed to be my responsibility) JADE: (and looking at it right now... isnt it a bit more uh) JADE: (watery, than it should be?)

Yeah, it is quite watery. this is the post-scratch earth I believe, so that would make sense. I think, at least. I never know with all this time shit.

ROSE: (It certainly looks that way. It's just another unfortunate consequence of the scratch.) ROSE: (Though I think it might be a slight improvement over the barren ball of basalt our earth became after that cataclysmic meteor shower.) ROSE: (We’ll just have to make do.) JADE: (so thats it then?) JADE: (we just) JADE: (give earth an orbit around a new star or something) JADE: (and find an island to live on?) ROSE: (That does seem a suitable course of action.) ROSE: (We might want to do something about all that ocean, though.) ROSE: (At the very least to make the planet somewhat more aesthetically pleasing. Sprinkle a few continents here and there, you know.) ROSE: (No offense, but one measly island will doubtless get boring after a while.) ROSE: (Let alone be capable of housing what will hopefully one day be a thriving multi-species civilization.)

Oh yeah, there’s gonna have to be a lot more land for all that LIFE. Do they have a way of making more land though? It’s probably not gonna be a problem, it’ll just be interesting to see how they do it I guess.

JADE: (hehehe!) JADE: (i guess youre right about that!) JADE: (although...) JADE: (i kind of wonder about all of our planets here in the medium) ROSE: (What about them?) JADE: (i went through all that trouble to bring them here, and now were just gonna leave them behind?) JADE: (why dont we bring them along?) JADE: (personally im a little attached! :P) ROSE: (Personally, I would rather not.) JADE: (aw) JADE: (well why?)

But Rooose, your land is so pretty! How would you just give that up?

ROSE: (They’re essentially just an overly grandiose and complicated puzzle designed for preteens, presented as personalized celestial bodies.) ROSE: (Some of them even have giant snakes inside them. Ew.) JADE: (pfffft)

pfffft. Those snakes were awesome. And even if they are just a puzzle, that doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate what they are aesthetically! I mean, come on Rose. You gotta stop resenting things for what they’re supposed to be! 

JADE: (wow rose i sure did miss you a whole lot)

8D

JADE: (you always have such a smart and funny way of putting things!) JADE: (but will the denizens really still be there if we take them with us?) ROSE: (It was a joke, Jade. One of the many that I dole out on a regular basis, as the shrewd yet whimsical person you say I am.) ROSE: (They’ll likely vanish once we exit the game for good, whether we bring them through to the new universe or not.) ROSE: (They’re game constructs. I can’t see them serving much purpose past the end credits, so to speak.)

Wellll, I don’t know about that! I mean, yeah, they are game constructs and all. But like all the consorts, I think it’s safe to say they’re sentient as well! Sooo... Hm. Why would Jade’s Denizen have wanted her to take them all in the first place? I mean, to save them from Jack I suppose, but what’s the point if they would die from the big “your winner” screen at the end anyways?

JADE: (oh... well that makes me wonder) JADE: (what about the sprites? theyre game constructs too right?) ROSE: (That is a decent point.)

That IS a decent point. I dont wanna lose Jasprose or Davepeta.

Also. Has anybody wondered if there could be a Jasprovepeta^3? Because THAT, would be pretty great.

ROSE: (The kernels, at the very least, are absolutely nothing more than game constructs. They are a core mechanic of the game in their relationship with the maturity of the battlefield and the power of the black and white monarchs, and they don’t even have consciousness.) ROSE: (The sprites, however... well.) ROSE: (I’m not sure.) ROSE: (It’s highly likely they’ll be able to continue existing indefinitely, all things considered.) ROSE: (Though ultimately, it’s up to them whether they’d like to take a stab at life beyond Sburb.)

Well I dont see why they wouldn’t! Aside from maybe Erisol.

Pfft

ROSE: (Hopefully at least ONE of them will remain here.) ROSE: (Far, far away.) ROSE: (Never to be seen again.) ROSE: (Or be mourned.) ROSE: (At all.) ROSE: (Ever.) JADE: (um???) ROSE: (Nevermind that.)

NO dammit, Jasprose cannot stay behind. She needs to continue to exist and be part of this story because she’s greAT! Though she did say she was no longer interested...

JADE: (okay well) JADE: (im still kind of unsure about all this...) ROSE: (We’ll figure it out, Jade. There’s really not much to worry over.) JADE: (well... what about uh) JADE: (repopulation?) ROSE: (Like I said. We’ll figure it out.) ROSE: (Some ectobiology will likely be involved.) ROSE: (Which we will all be able to discuss as a group when the time comes.) ROSE: (Rather than right this second.)

Something wrong Rose? You’re kinda seeming a little impatient.

JADE: (um...) JADE: (rose, im sorry, i dont mean to make you mad)

Oh, Jade noticed too

ROSE: (I’m not mad.) JADE: (you seem a little mad!) ROSE: (*sigh*)

Out with it, Rose. Tell us what’s going on in that brain of yours.

JADE: (i just really want make sure i do my job right) JADE: (im supposed to make sure we all have a proper place to live!!) ROSE: (You’ll do just fine, Jade. You’ve always done your best at every task you’ve tackled, and what small miracles you can accomplish with hardly any effort are a reflection of how truly capable you are. We all have faith in you.)

Oh jeez.. Is it just me, or is Rose kinda seeming resentful towards Jade’s achievements. I hope that’s not the case.

JADE: (thanks, but...) JADE: (is everything okay?) JADE: (you dont sound all that enthusiastic) JADE: (did i do something wrong?) ROSE: (No, no.) ROSE: (This is all me.)

Come on rooose, tell us

ROSE: (I missed you Jade, I really did. But seeing you again now brings back unpleasant memories.) JADE: (oh) JADE: (you mean like your mom...?) ROSE: (Less the incident itself and more the horrifically immature child I behaved like back then.) ROSE: (Never was my childishness more apparent than with how I treated you.) JADE: (what! what do you mean?)

Hmm... thinking back at it, Rose sort of did treat Jade as just this object of mystery. Dave was always suspicious of her too, but Rose was seemingly always trying to point out when Jade said something that didn’t add up.

ROSE: (I was never a very good friend to you, Jade.) ROSE: (There were, and perhaps still are, some things about you that made me feel...) ROSE: (Insecure.)

Hmmm again.. I could understand insecurities in the past, but now Rose is practically on the same level as Jade. Is it a personality thing? because that doesn’t seem likely.

ROSE: (And, well. I was very petty, and allowed myself to wallow in jealousy while shoehorning you into another of my many imagined rivalries.)

Oh, damn. I guess I should have suspected something like that, considering how competitive Rose really can be when it comes to just about anything.

JADE: (you were jealous?) JADE: (of me???) ROSE: (You were bubbly and cheerful. Genuinely likeable, unlike me. Legitimately smart, where I more often than not felt the need to pad my intellect with random facts I learned on the internet. You had a multitude of talents and seemed to be able to do almost anything with hardly any effort.) ROSE: (Not to mention, I was under the impression you could see the future.)

DammIT, this is a large part of the reason I wanted them to interact. there was so much misunderstanding between them before, and once Rose finally knew how Jade did the things she did, it just went.. unmentioned.

JADE: (oh yeah... ugh, i thought i was soooo smart :\) JADE: (just thinking about all those dumb vague hints i used to drop makes me cringe!!)

I mean, it’s not like you didn’t always do what was best for your friends. Come on! You gotta feel a little smug when you understand all of the complicated bullshit about sburb. Even though you didn’t, in the end. you still thought you did. Plus you were 13. Nowhere near as mature as you are now. Which I suppose can be said for everybody, really.

JADE: (i totally get it, rose. im really sorry!) ROSE: (Please, don’t be.) ROSE: (Without the haze of envy blotting my vision I can see you for the charming, likeable, caring girl you really are and always have been.)

AGh, dammit this is putting me back into shipping mode nO!

ROSE: (I’d like to think I’ve done at least SOME maturing over the last three years.) ROSE: (Now I’m the smug one with clairvoyance. My, how the tables have turned.) JADE: (welllll...) JADE: (you were always a LITTLE bit smug :P) ROSE: (Oh, only a little?) ROSE: (You flatterer.)

fuCKINg. KISS.

Ah, shit. thats the end of their interaction. NEXT UP, we goooot... Calliope and Jane! Sweet. And as it seems to be the pattern we are following, we get a sneak peek at their conversation in this update.

JANE: (Pssst!) JANE: (Callie!)

And that’s it. ALRiGHT, sNEAK PEEK OVER.

This was a really fun Rosejade conversation though. We got to learn more about how they felt about eachother in the past, and how those feelings have changed since. And not to mention, some plot details on the plans for the new Earth.

And since I still suck at ending these things, ten parts in, ill seeya next time. might be today again, whon knows. maybe ill go for 5 updates in one day.

Site Structure 101

So you desire to get your online company up and running but theres one little problem you require a site! For any organisation, huge or small, an expert site is essential if you want to draw in potential customers or consumers and develop a solid structure for continued success. However many individuals have no concept how to tackle the procedure. Thankfully, its in fact quite simple to get a practical, well developed and easy to use website online in an affordable amount of time. And depending upon your specific circumstance and spending plan, there are numerous options available to make your organisation objectives a reality.

The very first choice is to work with a designer. If you are prepared to invest a good sum of money into the preliminary phases of establishing your company, hiring an expert site designer or website design company ought to be something to seriously consider. The job will cost you thousands of dollars (if you employ a trusted designer) however all the pressure and work will be on someone elses shoulders. Investing a great deal of loan right at the start of your venture might seem a little risky, however compared to other company undertakings the expense and risk are minimal. And the amount of loan you have the possible to make after your site goes live will far outweigh the quantity of cash at first invested in its construction. If you anticipate a professional task, working with a professional is the best method to attain that objective.

A designer will seek advice from with you regarding what you require in a website a simple basic website, flash-based design, and ecommerce websites are the most common. You will also talk about type, functionality, color design, graphics, and other essential points. Often content can be acquired through your web designer too, or you can fulfill your content requires after the fundamental website design is completed. In the end, hiring a web designer uses you a lot of flexibility and provides you the ability to totally personalize your site in all elements of its design.

Go it Alone

If you do not have the loan to invest in a good web designer or feel its unneeded for your purposes, theres no reason you cant develop the website yourself. And this choice uses to everyone even if you know absolutely nothing about HTML or web style. Naturally, if you do know a bit of HTML-- or want to put your nose to the grindstone and search the Web and your local library to learn HTML-- you can definitely build a site from scratch. However nowadays there are other methods to make your own service site without having problem with HTML or a pricey designer.

Website design templates, for instance, combine the professional style skills of a skilled web designer with the cost-effectiveness of going it alone. Design templates are ready-made websites that a designer or design business costs a little amount the cost is so low just due to the fact that the template can be resold over and over again. In addition, if you buy a site design template that wont be resold after you buy it the expense will increase however still winds up being far more cost effective than dealing with a designer individually. The cost is kept fairly low because, although the design template can not be offered to another individual, the style was already created and the buyer consents to purchase it as is.

When you visit a website selling design templates you are offered the flexibility to browse through a wide selection of various styles of site styles. When you discover the best match for your business you simply purchase and download. All thats left is to modify it utilizing a simple HTML editor to include material, graphics you call it. One such website template company I discovered that provides quality, fairly priced templates is TemplateDogma (see the link in Resource Box).

How To Design A Website If You're A Newbie

The majority of my students are Internet beginners and ask lots of apprehensive concerns about how to create a website. They stress over their capability to create an attractive website and are anxiously looking for the quickest and best alternative.

After years on the Internet, I believe you require to find out how to design your websites yourself, and here's why ...

The Internet is made up of two elements:

1. Text

2. Photos

Yes, audio and video technologies are growing quickly. If you hope to offer on the Net, it's crucial to appeal to your audience, those folks who are willing to pull out their credit cards and purchase your items. A huge percentage of these are still on dialup and definitely aren't really sophisticated and expensive techniques will separate you from a number of them.

So what are your options if you wish to build a website?

1. Buy a design template:

This can work sometimes. I have actually purchased them myself and they do look fantastic. There are some genuine problems with templates:

They can be pricey-- specifically if you desire several sites. Excellent design templates aren't cheap. The couple of I've purchased remain in the $60-$70 variety.

If you do not understand what you're doing, you can lose your money on templates that won't work for you. You will often see templates with icons, pictures, company logo designs, "Purchase Now" buttons and more. Yes, they look fantastic. However when you download the images they are not editable because if they remain in jpg or gif format, you can't make changes. The most typical 'editable' images are in 'psd' format. If you own image editing software application, like Photoshop (which typically sells for about $600), you can make the modifications you wish. However if you do not own this kind of software then forget it-- your images can't be altered.

Modifying design templates isn't simple. You might unsuspectingly purchase a template that allows 8 ′ of space-- and your copy requires 10 ″ of area. Now what? Less expensive templates require the buyer to "slice" them. This bores and time consuming and needs modifying understanding that many people do not have. Greater quality design templates permit the owner to edit them without slicing, however they are more costly.

Even if you can edit your new template, do you actually believe that you should allow a designer to dictate the positioning of your sales copy? Gorgeous design does not equivalent sales. Even if something looks excellent does not mean it's a great sales website. Lots of novices are impressed with the good appearances of a template, but Madison Opportunity charm doesn't equivalent profits on the Net. Making money originates from efficient direct reaction marketing which implies evaluating the elements on your sales page and changing them up until you have a winner. If your design is forced on you you are restricted in the changes you can make.

2. Pay a site designer to construct a site for you:

Working with a professional can be costly. I presently have a goal of building two websites weekly for a year. Let's assume I pay someone $500 to construct a website (which is rather an affordable quantity for a well done website-- it typically costs much more.) That means I will be paying $1,000/ week, weekly, for a year. My loan is better invested in marketing than style.

Each time you desire to make a modification on your site, you must wait on a designer to make the modifications. This is costly and can be time consuming if the designer is busy with several customers.

Much like a purchased template, a lot of web designers are focused on looks and appearance, rather than performance or sales. All the very best online marketers acknowledge that plainer sites are more rewarding since the focus is on the copy, the words, instead of expensive graphics or lovely colors. Take a look at the top lucrative websites on the net. They rarely are flashy or significantly excellent.

Depending on a web designer produces dependency. Generally the motivation of business owners is liberty so waiting for another person to make even the tiniest modifications to your website isn't taking you in the instructions you desire to go.

3. Purchase site-making software application:

Every program I have actually seen involves a finding out curve. One popular site contractor, for instance, has a 500 page handbook, is expensive and a lot of the knowing doesn't move to other site systems. I looked at another one just recently with a 300 page manual. The time that you spend finding out these methods might be spent finding out an HTML editor that will make you completely efficient in constructing your own websites, whenever you select, for practically absolutely no expense.

Invest the time and discover do it yourself sites. I personally spent 2 weeks in 'Dreamweaver Hell' several years earlier. All reviews indicated that Dreamweaver is the very best HTML editor, so I bought a book and identified to discover the software application on my own. The first book wasn't long enough so I returned it for a 2nd-- and longer-- book, which ultimately was exchanged for an almost-1200 page manual. There were minutes of disappointment, tears, accomplishment, cursing and the https://www.yellowpages.ca/bus/Alberta/Grande-Prairie/Sixo-Media/100896603.html excitement of success, and I emerged able to create sites whenever I chose.

Saying "I desire to be a Web marketer" and not discovering how to construct sites for yourself resembles desiring to be a dental expert-- and refusing to find out about teeth; like being a star athlete-- and refusing to practice your sport. What if your first websites will not win a design award? You'll improve. And you will be independent. Isn't that the whole point of dealing with the Web?

The last alternative is to utilize an online website home builder to do the task. This kind of program holds your hand every step of the way so that you can build a website without knowing anything about computer system languages or style strategies. Even if you utilize a WYSIWYG editor it is possible to get lost along the way, and as mentioned above, templates do require editing after you make the purchase. A website home builder is the only alternative that essentially automates the entire process. You may not have the ability to customize every element of the site, as templates are generally part of the treatment, however adding material, photos, charts and tables to the website is made completely hassle-free.

As you can see, there are lots of different ways to build a website from the ground up. In the end, pick the choice you believe will lead you down the course towards online success and youll more than happy with the results.
