silly little comic about chronic pain
[image id: an 8 panel comic
the first panel has a conversation between two people. the one on the right is a light gray, and facing away from the viewer. they are meant to represent a generic person. they are saying, "wow, chronic pain sounds like it sucks." sucks is written in a dark pink. the person on the right has tan skin, a pink shirt, and pink hair. he responds "haha yeah."
the second panel shows the same two people, with the first person saying "how do you tolerate it? i'd go crazy!" tolerate is written in a dark pink. the second person responsed "um..." and trails off
the third panel shifts to a drawing of the second person sitting curled into himself. it is entirely grayscale, except for his pink hair, which is a little more muted. the text around him reads "i tolerate it because not doing so isn't an option". 'isn't an option' is written in dark pink.
the fourth panel shows him sitting and leaning against the left edge of the frame, with his legs stretched out. it reads "because what else am i supposed to do?" supposed is in all caps and written in dark pink.
the fifth panel shows a torso up drawing of him in the bottom right corner. the text reads "i can't hope for a day i'll wake up and be better." better is written in dark pink and all caps on the left half of the panel.
the sixth panel shows him sleeping, with a brown dog near his head. the text above him reads "all i can do is make sure i wake up." wake up is written in dark pink.
the seventh panel is all text, reading "i tolerate it because it needs to be tolerable". tolerable is written in dark pink.
the eighth panel shifts back to the conversation between the two people. the man finishes his response to the other person's question with "i don't know".

If we argue that by not participating in elections, we're making a statement that we reject the political system and we don't even want to take part in the system, we're being stupid
We're already a part of the political system, politics pervades the society and us
Elections give us a chance to influence the system
By not voting, you're making yourself more powerless
Developing a TLC plate in an iodine chamber. Iodine is used to view compounds with alkene functional groups (C=C) and aromatic ring systems. This is due to how iodine forms complexes with these unsaturated functional groups, giving an easily visible brown stain on the plate.
raawwrrrrr
Do things according to your intuition, then find reasons to justify them.
Sometimes you need to do research and find reasons beforehand. While doing this, be patient. You will get whatchu want.
Be patient always. Things will happen for you. Good things will happen for you.
But also have the courage to face izzues when things don't go your way.
Don't be disappointed or distraught.
Don't get angry at people, things, or circumstances.
Understand that it was always one of the results and accept it with patience.
Enjoy life.
Don't chase perfection but do strive for excellence.
Excellence is a virtue.
Punch above your weight.
Why don't pubs everywhere do a tie up and have a trail run like in the movie The World's End?
Promote it all over the town, have posters of it all over the pubs, mention it in the QR menu. Ask patrons each time one gets seated if they're doing the trail run and get them interested in doing it.
Get the trail run included in online publications, blogs, travel forums, and promote the heck out of it.
Win-win for all pubs in the area.
