Re: Yes, I know Google is my friend, but I'd rather ask you.
Okay tech people, who knows printers? My printer is printing totally out of whack lately. I've included a sample below. I've tried realigning the print head the automatic way where you print the pattern, put it on the scanner and the printer does the rest, and I've tried a manual alignment where it ...

Re: The Gate Thief: Or, Danny North's Teen Harem
As was mentioned, Pagan gods are usually depicted as taking women against their will, not the other way around. Anyway, I think maybe having one of the girls throw themselves at Danny would have been sufficient. Having literally all of them do it was excessive.

Re: I'm just going to put this here...
The way I see it, OSC is an author. His job is to write stories. If he does that well, and I enjoy his work, I have no problem compensating him for his work. What he does with the money that he earns is his own business. He still deserves to make a living if he's good at his job.

I was 16.

Yes, you're quite right. Homework is meaningless if it doesn't directly tie into the material covered in class, and if it doesn't reinforce that material while it's still fresh. Unless of course it is meant to be a review of previously learned material, or as is sometimes the case, a preview of mate...
