Oh yes. Atticus Finch, such an inspirational and just good character.
He made No. 1 in the American Cinema Heroes of the Century (I think) No.1 Quote.

We're just lucky to know Truean. True is less lawyer, more LawBatman-inna-dress.
Totally gave me a sudden flash of phoenix wight wearing a dress over the batman suit. Someone needs to draw and/or photoshop that.
I always see True as less Phoenix Wright (seriously, don't you guys know any other fictional lawyers?) and more like Atticus Finch. True has the...well...truth at hand, but the public is too stupid to see it.
I in fact don't! At least, that's the only one I actually remember. But yeah, whoever works. Dress over batman suit.

Atticus Finch was a very inspiring character, and an example of everything that I wanted to be as a father.

I'd like to say I do a decent job of living up to that but ohmyfucking god... having a raging tsundere wife cooped up with terminally bored kids who can't just be allowed to wander around town because they're too young and we live in a busy suburbia full of nosy snobs who would leap at the opportunity to call negligence on us does not make it easy!!!

This is the first time in a while I've been lonely late into the night.

I either need to get having to go to bed late out of my system, or I need more friends that don't mind being up late with me... Dammit.

I'm frighteningly close to relating to this.  It really scares me.  Except I got good grades and succeeded with rather ambitious projects in school... but keep getting hit repeatedly with other fucking ridiculous life obstacles at precisely the wrong moments.

@sirus's stupid comic

If you judge your own life based on how you relate to others, as if it were some competition to be "won" or "lost," then you're very very likely dooming yourself to "failure." Only so many people can end up on top after all, and the odds are very much stacked against you. If only those on top have had "successful" lives, then we're dooming absolutely everyone else to a failed life, regardless of how hard they worked, how smart they are, what they did, who they are, etc etc.

So I reject the notion that being stuck in a dead-end job is "failure," at least intrinsically. It's only a failure if your life goal is a high paying job (and might I add that that isn't the most fulfilling way to spend one's life). Also, $35,000 a year puts one way WAY above the global average (~10,000 median, ~3000 mean iirc), so if we're still stuck in comparison mode you can comfort yourself that you're "better" than much of the world's population.


So allow me to say: suck it up and realize there's more to life than career success or notoriety. Way more. You don't have to end up in the history books. You don't have to "make your mark" on the world. Your life's success or failure depends on whether you accomplished the goals you set out to do, not what other people expect of you. What others define as "worthy" life goals are not applicable to you, at all, unless you let them be.


What I know of Salmongod's life brings me to the conclusion that he's spent it quite wisely and respectably, for example, despite not having monetary success and being stuck in a crappy job.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Very well.


My sad today was twofold: I went to comiccon wearing a Dwarf Fortress mask I made myself, and no-one recognised it. "Some generic pixel character?"

And that the queue to get in was two and a half hours and by the time we got in it wasn't that great anyway...
