Alright before we begin a rant about life (this has nothing to do with anyone here but I just need to get this off my chest) So mountains of paperwork everywhere! I feel like I'm being buried alive in medical red tape!

On another note we live in a very close knit community here everyone knows everyone else and their grandmother sort of thing. So as a favour to a close friend of mine I'm trying to tutor his daughter on sums over Zoom. (Frankly I don't know how I got dragged into this because I recall being terrible with numbers as a kid. But there I am anyways) Now this kid is bright as can be and sweet too, she's getting most of the work done by herself, but getting hung up on the last few steps. And I'm trying to help but Zoom is not the place to try and teach someone anything, but all I can think as I'm looking at these problems is "They changed everything about math since I was in here! What the f$%k is this?!" Long story short we somehow got the work done. But it took 5 hours for 15 problems! 15 in 5 bloody hours! I hate to sound like one of those people who complain that their child is being given too much work. But the kid isn't even mine and I sat there with her for 5 hours. I'm about as impartial an observer as there can be and I think it's ridiculous. She's 12 for heavens sakes, just let her be a kid for a change, she's already stressed enough with the virus going around without you arseholes crushing her soul under piles of work! Hey man, I'm terrible with numbers NOW. So i'd say you did a decent job, especialy if it was for helping someone. And I completely agree, it's bullshit how kids still keep getting obscene amount of homework. It's happening in my country as well. A clear proof that there is something severily wrong with the education system. I would like to ask what kind of damn problems have to take 5 hours for fifteen of them (sounds like math alright; I fucking hate math). Anyways, I hope everything ended well.

"Ah yes Cathyl she's right up your alley. A beautiful minotaur and strong yet sexy (There's another recent trend I hate. Have you seen those images where they make a character muscular but it's so muscular that it's like they've taken steroids to the point of looking like a huge unattractive abomination? Eww.)"

Yeah, I've seen those. Hard fetish for muscles, I believe. The characters stop looking like characters and now resemble fair baloons. You can't even tell where their heads are (not to mention the ridiculous size expansion; sometimes the characters turn into giants that crush cities or even planets). I've even seen one or two artists that do ONLY that. Yeah, the weirdness never ends.
