Edit: a) double post b) good grief I meant elektrik. Truly, browser plugins are a thing of wonder.

I'm working on a "St Sebastian enjoying his martyr way too much" costume. What's the best way to get rid of a lot of torso hair (if possible not too painfully).
1) What have I started?
2) I demand pictures of the end result.
3) You absolutely must meet Anna sometime, regardless of how that situation works out.

Before I use it in a presentation, can someone more knowledgeable comment on the accuracy of this graphic? It seems alright to me, but the presentation I need it for is worth a huge portion of my grade and I don't want to screw it up.

... can't comment on the accuracy, but I will say that if you're actually going to use that in a presentation you badly need to change either the green or the blue to... something else. Black, maybe. As it is, it's really damn hard to tell two apart, especially on a white background. Which makes the thing half-way to useless for showing on a projector screen or whatev'.

Also perhaps consider enlarging it or somethin', make it less tangled up -- it being tangled is half the point, but if you're using it for anything but visual effect (like actual information), you'd probably be helped if things weren't quite so cluttered together. Enlarge, spread out, maybe thicken the lines (and do the color thing). Credit appropriately (assuming it's actually accurate), but edit for usability, because the presentation aspect of that thing is basically shit.

E: Though, uh. Is ISIS supposed to be missing from that thing?

That graphic is from 2013, by the looks of it. Isis didn't separate from al queda until Feb 2014.

It really is, but untangling the graphic shouldn't be too hard.

They're outside the scope of the presentation. At least the part I'm using the graphic for.

If the point of the chart is to illustrate that it's a quagmire and nobody knows what the fuck then it does a good job.  If you're seriously trying to present usable information then I'd suggest completely redoing it with a different layout.

Prepping the OP of Happy Thread Mk. II for tomorrow. Any suggestions for page image? I don't intend to fill the OP with my own personal favorite things, in the way that with the first one a misclick would get one an eyeful of animu, but I think that something like the OP of the RAGE thread used to have would be fitting.

Maybe a decent landscape of somekind. Probably would need those image scaling tags tho.

What is the correct course of action when you want to send someone a message but they might be sleeping, and for all you know they could have some super-loud notification sound on their phone? Good grief why is life so hard?

I think I'll just do it now. If worst comes to worst I'm helping them by showing them the benefits of putting their phone on silent whilst sleeping.
Or helping them get an early start! Yeah, I'm pretty much all-round helpful.

What sort of discipline analyses how abstraction and symbolism works in various media? What sort of university lectures could I attend to learn more about the subject?
