can you believe this quote is from shark boy and lava girl? astounding.
Mountains, mountains, mountains
All the cyberpunk in one post! I still have quite few more in the works but I wanted to put these ones up for now
The first summer that the students spent in the dorms, all of them immediately had the idea for a pool party. It took some convincing to get Todoroki, Iida, and Kaminari (for obvious reasons) to go along with the idea, but eventually all of Class 1-A, 1-B, a few friends from the sports festival, and The Big Three to go.
Because U.A. doesn’t have a pool that’s really suited to swim in (and neither of them want to use the sick water slide at the USJ due to bad memories), they have to convince Aizawa to let them do it.
Spoiler: Aizawa says no initially. It takes Yaoyorozu and a long winded speech for him to begrudgingly agree to it. He makes Present Mic go ask Nedzu permission for a fun field trip, and Mic passes this duty onto All Might.
Once everything is in order, the students are allowed one day at the pool with Aizawa, Mic, and All Might all chaperoning. A family vacation can be three dads and 50 kids.
Once they arrive to this pool facility, three students immediately go in for the cannonball: Kirishima, Togata, and Tetsutetsu (who sinks to the bottom of the pool and Kirishima has to go get him).
The goth squad™ (Jirou, Amajiki, Tokoyami, and Shouji) all find a giant umbrella to sit under so they don’t get sunburn. Aizawa ends up joining them since he also wants to avoid the sun.
Amajiki gets dragged out by Togata and Hadou though, so he’s in the water eventually.
Aizawa can’t swim, so All Might and Present Mic are the ones responsible for saving children. (Aizawa gets put on snack duty).
Midoriya makes it his personal mission to make sure everyone is having a good time, and therefore he spends most of the time watching over Iida and Todoroki (who both need to loosen up).
Yaoyorozu makes pool floaties for everyone and gives a special frog float to Asui. She also makes goggles for people and some covers for Iida’s engines.
Uraraka and Ashido spend their time playing pool games, and Hagakure joins in. Eventually the girls get everyone to Marco Polo.
Monoma cheats. Hard. He jumps out of the pool any time the person that’s “it” gets near him. All the rest of the players try to point this out, but he’s back in the pool before he’s caught. Sneaky.
Shinsou also “cheats,” singling out Midoriya each time and making him freeze so he can tag him. Midoriya doesn’t actually mind though.
Everyone is allowed to DJ at least two songs unless their music taste is superb. Jirou, Uraraka, Sato, and Aoyama have the best taste in music. Bakugo, Tsunotori, and Sero have the worst taste in music.
Speaking of Bakugo, guess which Class 1-A member begins the trend of playing chicken? It’s him, and he climbed right on Kirishima’s shoulders and charged at Kaminari, who in turn scrambled onto Sero’s shoulders.
All Might was tasked with breaking this up, as several of the boys joined in, including Todoroki and Midoriya. This was a failed task, as All Might lifts up Uraraka and they become unstoppable.
At the end of the day, they all scramble onto the bus, mostly sunburnt and tired. The one who had the most fun that day was Asui, as she finally got to spend time doing something she loved. Iida was also a top contender, but he will never admit that he had that much fun goofing off with his classmates.
All the students pass out in the dorm common room, and Aizawa just turns the light off and lets them sleep.
just an old comic for ya
So, Microsoft is terrible. Yes yes, the oldest claim in the world.
But specifically... I just hate how Windows 10 tries to conflate and confuse web searches with things on one's own computer. The start menu should never do anything related to web-searching, especially if it purports to try to give examples of things that are on my hard drive!
This will make old, computer-illiterate people more malware-vulnerable. You have to maintain a strong distinction between "things that are on this computer (and maybe even included in Windows)" (safe, one hopes, or you already got pwned by it, probably), and "things on the web" (scary, dangerous, not to be trusted at all).
Eroding that barrier in the UI is awful. It just FEELS like a violation every time I start typing into the start bar, and it tries to show me ANYTHING web-related. My computer is NOT just an internet-portal! It has tons of stuff on it, and when I'm interacting with the OS, I ONLY want to see things that are already on here!
If I wanted to see something online, I would go to my browser! All the online stuff should be segregated into the browser!
Specific programs can access the internet; that's fine. But my OS's functions and interface should JUST be about the things that are already on my computer.
