Okay, so I commissioned this person to make a partial suit for my character. She's charging me $350 for the following:
-Head
-Tail
-Hand hooves
-Feet hooves
-Arm sleeves

But my other friend offered to do the tail and hands for free. So the person I commissioned said she would give my friend the leftover materials to make the tail and hands. Does this mean I shouldn't have to pay as much...?

Reasonably, no, the cost should be discounted in accordance with the labor she no longer has to do. But it's up to her, and no matter what we say she's going to run her business however it is she wants. You should ask her.

I think any normal person talks to himself... in fact, only an insane human being would stop.

It's still extremely awkward when the girl I work with comes up and asks who I'm talking too.

you know what's awkward? when you're mocking blue's clues, and reciting one of his lines whenever he talks to the audience, "come along!" while staring at a wall, and making a hurry up gesture... not knowing someone see's me. if there was ever a moment when someone should question your sanity, it's when they notice you talking to a wall as if it were a person.

to this day, I just fluster up thinking about it

Vuze always takes me like half a dozen attempts or more to open it, it just bounces in my dock forever and then freezes so I have to force quit it and try again, and when I finally get it open it has taken me like 10 minutes

This is why I don't pirate very much

And of course whatever I'm trying to pirate is not available anywhere on the entire internet. Great.

I love reading news sites with a pretty clear conservative bias sometimes, y'know, just to see how the other half lives. My curiosity is always rewarded most graciously. Though I usually can't get all the way through the articles proper, which seem to struggle to weave the parallels they try to draw between current events and unrelated historical (and often biblical) themes into a coherent point. But skipping straight to the comments section is where it really starts to go into schizophrenic territory with rants about "modern day Ghengis Khans", "genetic evil", "cultural Marxism", until someone sees another who speaks their language and goes completely off the rails, affirming that indeed, this "great evil" will never die until Jesus Chris+ [sic] returns (no doubt with bleached hair, blue contacts, and still wearing that loincloth to flaunt the results of the X+reme Xst+ian workout).

Holy mother of Fuck.
Yes, it's not Christ, it's Chrisplus
not to be confused with Jesus2.0

Yeah that is pretty bad Milo. >_>

I've never had a problem with vuze like that. I've had it running all day. Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

It's why I don't pirate big blockbuster movies or big budget games

Vuse, huh
oh right, I DL'd the Mad Max trilogy
I should watch Beyond Thunderdome
I always loved the part where he kills the retard

I pirate music mostly but I've been going for more shows ever since Game of Thrones got me into TV stealing. An occasional movie here or there too.

I pirate stuff that's unjustly expensive. Like Windows. I was trying to get another Vengeance sample pack, they're all like $100 fucking dollars which is completely retarded

oh god wtf is this music in the beginning
look I know Tina Turner's in this
and it was the 80's but
you just don't do that in this kind of movie!
what the hell filmmakers?!

We had a discussion about program piracy in one of my classes. Specifically photoshop. Hell even I have a cracked version of it. But if it wasn't so damned exspesive I think the piracy rates would be much much lower. CS6 will be about $800?

Adobe you better Realize ain't no one sane gonna pay for it.

seriously, I never once felt bad for torrenting photoshop.

I do feel bad torrenting my favorite bands though I'm like "nuuu, you deserve my money! you deserve that gold plated toilet!"

I feel like there's a positive feedback problem there. It's expensive, so lots of people pirate it, so they make it more expensive because they're selling fewer copies, so more people pirate it, so it has to get more expensive so that the developers can get paid... Creative Suite 14 is going to cost one-hundred million dollars!

You know you get like 80% off if you're a student. That kind of discount, I think it's worth buying. And it's not a 'student' version or anything, it's the regular full version of the software.

You've officially reached loser status when you're spending all morning browsing through mundane porn, waiting for your brother to send some money to your bank account because hormones got you broke.

MY LIFE IS AWESOME.

You sound pretty privileged to me tbh

I'm afraid that's... true, in a sense. I'm kinda spoiled and always feel guilty for that.

I don't think you should feel guilty about it. I just think you should, I dunno, reflect on your attitude towards other people, because it can be kind of super+ hypocritical sometimes. I have to admit, watching you whine about transition is shaping up to be some pretty delicious sour grapes

Oh, you and your schadenfreude. >:[

Embarking on a seemingly hard animation... for me anyway.

Wait, is that supposed to be super plus, or supert
the schizophrenic return of Chris+ has me confused
from yesterday still

Image is irrelevant, I just saw the red circles and got pissed off. Red circles make me pissed off now.
