No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Hivemind - has anyone taken an online class NOT toward s degree or certificate and not part of a multi-class program. I am looking for like a continuing ed thing, cheap, but something that would require me actually doing homework.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The PM of India and the President of Taiwan both struck me as being placed egregiously low on that list relative to those around them. Also noticed there was a general trend of darkening from top to bottom.

Though I can't dispute the #1 pick.

Because books.

msbelle, Coursera has some great courses, and most (some? all?) do require work. Plus, they're free.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think shrift has done a fair bit of that stuff? Others too I'm sure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

msbelle, I have taken classes through my local community college that I guess I could get a certificate for, I don't remember how that worked but it wasn't counting towards anything just would be, like, completed this course. It's around $100/6 week class I think?

Oh, I also did a couple of classes through iTunes U, that might be worth looking at.

A coworker has been talking up Craftsy to me, she really likes their courses. Haven't looked at them myself.

I don't think my local cc does things online, but I will check. I'll also look at iTunes and Craftsy. Thanks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So, Trump has fired Comey. What is coming next in this shitshow?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S has been whiny since we got home. And yet, more mature than Trump.

So I think the #6-8 of hottest heads of state are overrated (Albania, Iceland, and Greece). But number 10, from Benin? Smoking hot, 19 from Ghana should also be higher. As should 28, Slovenia. 45, Argentina? He's got a little something going on. Maybe just that the photo they have of him isn't in a suit and tie. But still. How does the Taoswhateve of Ireland rank below the pope, Prince Albert of Monaco, and Shinzo Abe of Japan? The Emperor of Japan is hotter than Shinzo Abe even if he's very old.

And I dig 72, from a Belgium, with his hipster glasses and goatee. Maybe not competition of Trudeau, but definitely higher than 72!
