Unless it has pineapple and ham.

Then it's a travesty.

Refinement: Hell is other wrong people.

It's not all other people.

I have some solid, dependable friends and they're the exact opposite of 'hell'.

Need more details OP.

This could be anything from a throwaway expression based on how you feel, to an actual physical abuse situation.

C'mon. Spill. Share examples, and whether or if you've done ANYTHING AT ALL to try and rectify it.

Comes with optional ghost peppers, just in case you weren't burned enough already.

It's a "table".

Honestly, it would have been better if you'd just named it "Winter".

The other words are superfluous and the work is gorgeous.

Very well done.

Take a physics course ok?

No, no it was not.

Just as cute too.

Curious about the deflated giant chicken just past the sofa though.

I read it the other way, as "THIS CLAIM fucked his credibility", for this specific theme.

West's credibility was super in question before, that's obvious and no argument there.

But that won't get a lot of weight with respect to a specific court case where he's suing for royalties.

"Your honor, the plaintiff's generally not credible" isn't a starting argument.

But if instead it's "Your honor, we can specifically demonstrate where the plaintiff had made misleading claims about ownership and creation of the concept that is the theme of their frivolous lawsuit" (or however a decent lawyer would put it), suddenly it's really relevant.

Going to add something to this excellent answer:

If you can't specifically figure out why they're annoying so you can tell them a reason, the problem just might be you.

I've been annoyed at people because I had a bad night's sleep, or I heard a story four times by other people in the past day and they're telling it for the fifth time, or out of silly displaced anger, or for other reasons that were more to do with me than with them.

Before responding to their question, a good question to ask yourself is "are they annoying just to me?".

If you're not confident that the answer to that question is "no", odds are actually pretty good that you're the one that needs to work on the situation, not them.

I think he has some shining moments.

He was quite good in his Bourne-related role, and he's excellent with banter (that scene with him and Quicksilver in Avengers 2 just makes me chortle every time).

They're just not coming across in this series... or, to be fair, at least not yet.

Yeah, I have to agree.

There was a "tiredness" about him in the first episode that I coincidentally watched last night so the memory is fresh. His character not only looked like Hawkeye didn't want to be there, the actor looked like RENNER didn't want to be there.

The parenting scenes at the restaurant were horribly written, woodenly acted and looked out of place. They felt... tired as well.

Maybe this changes in later episodes but the first episode really didn't shine a good light on the Hawkeye actor. I realize he was supposed to be someone that was tiredly dealing with the legacy of his previous actions and not wanting any of the publicity that came with it... but it was almost too genuine as it bled through the whole portrayal.

Drax: "Hello little girl. What is your name?"

Little girl: "Janice"

WHOMP

Gamora: "DRAX! What the hell?"

Drax: "Sorry, thought she said 'Thanos'."

I'd like to append "at least twice if not more" to this excellent LPT.

A lot of people do something and instantly rush to report it to LifeProTips as must-have advice... when experts in that thing just wince and roll their eyes at how often it turns out to be massively counterproductive.

I'm a business consultant and routinely destroy bad advice here, not out of meanness, but because it's just such BAD advice, and if it leaves a positive impression on some people it could hurt them. Ditto stuff that reinforces social anxieties instead of facing or actually managing them (with the most common of these suggesting stupid lies to avoid social situations).

Often the advice is from someone who either thinks it makes sense (when it sometimes just doesn't), or it worked for them out of some freak coincidence. Either way, it's not a LPT the vast majority of the time, and in some respects can cause actual damage if followed.

Looking at British schooling systems during the timeframe of the book, they have a Stage 1 that goes from 7 to 11, equivalent of Grades 1 through 5.

So Harry was 11 in the first book and film, and the book was set in the year 1991.

He would have received zero homeschooling from his horrid family, they just wanted the money that came from looking after him and nothing else to do with him.

So looking at British education systems in the 1980's, he would have gone to Stage 1 "muggle" school (at age 7), and then to Hogwarts for Stage 2 (at age 11).

The foster parents would have wanted him out of the house.

My guess is there were lessons in there on some of that, but they're so muggly-mundane that they'd be boring, and so they wouldn't help move the story forward at all.

So they were glossed over more than not present at all.

(That being said, it would have been fun watching Ron Weasley try and participate in a spelling competition.)

If you're okay with youth fiction from mid-last century, C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia is a very famous arc of many books and a few movie adaptations. "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe", first written but not chronological, was a delightful read when I was a kid, but the later ones in the series were super overbearing in their biblical parallels and I didn't like them.

Probably the most amazing trilogy I've read in my life was by a fellow Canadian - Guy Gavriel Kay's "The Fionavar Tapestry". It starts with The Summer Tree. It's big and grand and utterly amazing, and I can't recommend it enough.

The general classification is "fantasy". Key word 'magical' normally moves this in to that genre.

This is really more specific - the broader category of fantasy also includes fully realized other-places such as Lord of the Rings, stories about deities, or the existence of metahumans or superhero powers in a select hidden few of our own world - so it's a "subgenre" with a focus on 'alternate-reality fantasy'.

That's more of a descriptive phrase than a label.

Charlie Brown's teacher.

Superb capture of the lighting.

Your perspective is a bit off, and a house wouldn't have all those shrubs inside of their fence, but this is still gorgeous.

Well done.

Nailed the composition. And the paper choice is wonderful.

It's a MANhole. A man is in it.

If it were a pothole, it would be a pot petting the kitten.

Ugh.

Old, and not a good joke. Sorry fam.
