What did you learn today?

[NotaNuffian]

I seem to have found the true reason why no one do FANFICS about LOKI of DANMACHI (beside the fact she is simply a side character, and etc)
> Lack of info



How i arrived at this conclusion.
> Same reason why no one (beside a few) do fanfics about LUNA of konosuba


> CLEARLY luna is a very very high waifu potential character
> LOGICALLY = lot of fanfics as Kazuma get her (with or without the usual girls)
> Result : Not a lot of them
Why ?
Because people dont know her preferences, her personality, how she would act, how she would react, how she talks in normal life, etc
In short, HOW TO WRITE HER is blank.
Its like asking to write a fanfic about a no-name mob in BAKA TO TEST (though in this case its a named character and quite beautiful)



Though like S3 of Konosuba have shown
> up of popularity of DARKNESS because she had more screentime/plot
Its also lack of "screentime" to the BIG MAJORITY OF PUBLIC (hence potential writers among them) that cause the lack therefore of fanfics.
So yeah.

I sometimes find it quite weird that no one would do a fanfic of blank characters.

Then it hit me, because then it is just an OC but with an established skin.

Today, I started learning how to crochet mini mushrooms. If I end up completing it, will show y'all ?

Got side tracked and ended up making a luffy hat keychain ? I'll post a picture if anyone wanna see it. A little crooked but it works ?

Today I learned that my job isn't required to pay me while I'm on jury duty, but I might be required to give my job what little money I earn as juror. Because that apparently makes sense to somebody out there, and that person supposedly doesn't have multiple holes drilled in their head.

As far as I understand, If it is in America then federally, they are required to give you (paid or unpaid depending on the state)leave for jury duty and should not be entitled to any of the earnings. It is state or federal payment to the jurors, and like taxes, should be illegal for others to access without your express permission. What job could possibly have a loophole for this?

What job could possibly have a loophole for this?

I made a post on reddit asking this, and from what they're telling me, if my employer pays me while I'm on jury duty as if I were getting PTO, then they can turn around and tell me to give them whatever pay I earn as a juror. I guess that makes a little more sense, but still. Since I can't refuse to do this, you'd think either the court or my employer would legally be required to provide me with as much money as I would have made otherwise if I'd been at work.

Either way, I'm hoping my doctor can send them a letter that'll get me out of this anyway.

The PTO should cover the amount you make as a juror. Plus, you should be able to deny PTO as you can legally refuse PTO in place for vacation days, sick days, etc. At least, that was my understanding.

It's not actual PTO. The letter says that my employer isn't allowed to cover my jury duty with vacation time because this isn't a voluntary use of my time. I was just using PTO as a comparison, because if they pay me while I'm doing jury duty, then it would essentially be the same as PTO because I'd be making the same amount as if I were coming into the office and doing my job.

Ah, I see.

Hopefully I'm not posting on this thread more than to anyone's liking. (I really like to share what I learnt) Today I learnt how to fix and install a new switchboard. And how to crochet a rose keychain (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

-Abusing position
-Tyrant
-Lazy

-Liar
-Anger
-Uncaring (followers)
-Hate other religions
-Blasphemous
-No respect for others
-No empathy for others
-Scammer
-Most importantly : shameless


She basically has all 7 deadly sins too

pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth.

(lust not included, but likely bc nsfw isnt allowed in LNs)



TLDR: She is a very toxic mesugaki
(a primordial evil kind, similar to kids' pure evilness, that dont even know the difference between evil/good, only caring of herself) (likely due to her "goddess nature" created from nothingness)
---
--
PS : She can be "fixed"

She simply need a slap.
(or a punch).
Basically a wake-up call
or for her to "grow up" by "suffering" (by losing everything, which includes kazuma & co, which she overly depends on, both materialistically and mentally)

PPS : Which i think happen in a later part of the LNs. Where she ask Kazuma in despair "am i useless?" because someone arrived in town.

TIL the hotdog water in Limp Bizkit is an in-joke and not really a known vulagr slang.

My day is somewhat ruined.

Context : She said that "burger" is a balanced diet. Bc it got meat, grains, vegetables and fruits.

By itself, borgar is a balanced meal. It's the grease, preservatives and the unhealthy processing methods that are the problem. Depending on how you cook it, you could probably just eat it or pizza and be perfectly healthy.

Today I learned where the Milky Way Galaxy Got its name

Its called Milky Way because ancient greeks thought that the disk in the sky was a stream of milk from the Goddess; Hera's breasts. This stream was reffered to as a Gala. So put two and two together and we got the Milky Way Galaxy

TIL VS Battle and their tier list of destruction.

For the record, I already vaguely know of the method of calculating damage level, mainly in dishing out but sometimes also on tanking (small town level, medium city level, planet level etc) and speed level (mach and lightspeed)

What I did not fully know was that there are some people out there who are good enough to actually jot it all down properly.

Sad that it is not breast milk way.
