Have to say my favorite customer service trick is when they stop playing the music and act like you got disconnected and then when you don’t give up, they actually disconnect you.

So, I was scrolling through my Facebook memories today, because as a parent, I like seeing what my kids were up to. Instead, I found this:

A news story that Facebook didn’t want me to repost. All the links still work. The story stills seems to be accurate. So the question becomes why doesn’t Facebook book want me to share this? Broken memes? Sure. Asks for games that no longer exist? No problem. But a news story that while old, is still working and legitimate? No way.

I reposted it anyway out of spite. Now to see if it actually shows up on anyone’s timeline.

The story:

U.S. citizen was asked her immigration status while taking a walk in her neighborhood in Maryland

Anyone else work for a place that has no issue with you risking life and limb in the supposed interest of helping patients?

I’m not talking health care. I am a QC trainer in a factory where we process at least 25k parts a day, most of them “stock”. They think we are too stupid to know what that means.

Half the state is red meaning roads are open for emergency vehicles only, but they are open to force us to use PTO or points. Or I’m sure due to the fact no one will be there, they will be kind enough to let us make it up.

Personally, I feel like if the people who are making these decisions aren’t doing it at the company building shouldn’t be allowed to say it’s okay for us to go in.

About the changes.

Obviously, every game required an adjustment to Douglas’ looks due to the design limitations, so this is less about that. I am also sure as I learn the character creator, he might evolve a bit more.

The curly hair was always canon. Not as tight, but definitely the reason why he kept it so short and why he had the cow lick in the front. So this choice was based on limitations of styles and what fit best with that criteria.

The facial hair. If this was still Hawke, and he was still my age, I would have kept the goatee. He doesn’t tend to do full beards, because then he looks too much like his dad. 😅. But facial hair tastes have evolved over the last 15 years, and now I just think this is more fitting for our younger Rook.

Cheeks still high and prominent. Nose still long and straight. Jaw still squared off and chiseled.

I truly don’t like the fact you can’t pick an eye shape. I assume this is due to animation limitations within the creator, but I don’t know. I also don’t like the fiddliness of the eye color mixer. I can’t have a good opinion about the complexions because my TV makes skin tones orange and yellow, so most of them look truly horrible thanks to that.

I love him though. So that’s all that matters.

I.... I don't know why I made this comic.

[douglaslovesanders]

Y’all, I need some help. I am thinking of making some art of my dragon age couples. I have a pose thoughts for Warden and Hawke, but my inquisitor and Cassandra I am having a hard time thinking of one that is both stoic and romantic like they are.

You guys got any ideas?

Bridgerton Spoilers

Vague as possible:

With color for more clarity hopefully. XD

I wasn’t upset that he became a she.

In fact, I was more this:

With that being said, what bothers me about the whole situation is in the books she and her husband are utterly in love, and the show is playing it off as easy and convenient, she liked him enough to get it over with. There are definitely a couple of looks where she is doubting or envious of what is apparently clear else where and she seems to feel is lacking in her relationship.

That’s what I feel sucks. There wasn’t doubts before the honeymoon began. There was no body else. And I’m not talking about just that look. There were a few at least where it was clear she was questioning everything.

I heard maybe they were trying to show differences in relationships -with her husband-. Yes, but why at the cost of love? They understand each other on deeper levels. They are comfortable with each other. They can still love each other. It doesn’t have to be friendly because it sounds like friends. He clearly understands the things that make her passionate. She understands him. I don’t understand why that cannot mean deep love for one another.

Obviously they are not faithfully following the books, I know that, but with her appearance at the end, it feels like they are heading for a certain event, and cheapening the before only makes it worse. The look totally could have come from the new arrival and would have made sense for everyone. That’s what I feel they got wrong.

They loved each other. Hes or shes would have made no difference.

And I believe a certain masked stranger will make his appearance at the next Bridgerton masquerade. (?)
