I’m amazed by all the replies... apparently not many people here have ever dealt with textured walls. The issue why you are seeing the patch, is that whoever patched this, failed to texture afterwards. Cutting out the patch, and trying to fix this with only paint... will never be successful. I would suggest first…

Looks like you’ve got a textured wall there. My advice would be to sand that old patch smooth, put on some fresh joint compound mixed with a tiny bit of water to loosen it, then try dabbing it with a texturing sponge to make a pattern that will match the existing wall. When it dries, repaint the area to match.

Cut out the old spot. Put in a new sheet of rock to fit in there. Tape the edges and then use a 12” knife to feather it out well into the texture and into the patch. Sand and apply a second coat. Sand again. Use a wet sponge to feather the edge of the patch and the existing knockdown texture. Go to Sherwin…

I would recommend just starting fresh. Cut out the poorly patched section and redo it yourself. This would be the most seamless way to fix it IMO.

What is the point of this article? To expose that ESPN hired a conservative? The politicized life is so tiresome. “Never ever deal with anybody or anything that might have different political views than you.”

I’ve never been into the show. To me, it always reminded me of when every comic book decided to go “grim and gritty” in the 90s. One most juvenile things to believe is that constant senseless hopelessness and violence are somehow inherently mature. It’s a 13 year old boy’s vision of what adult art should be like.

(Editor’s Note: I have serious feels about “Tall” being the name for a fucking Small and “Grande” being a goddamned Medium. Fuck you, Starbucks, I will order a Large, not a Venti, and you will FUCKING LIKE IT)

Ugh. I just get so frustrated with people sometimes. The pope is working to create real change in the church, and it drives me crazy when people just scream NOT ENOUGH, NOT ENOUGH, every time he does something in the progressive direction. These are positive, good things. Change in the Catholic Church takes time.…

I guess that narrows it down to Hank being in the armor, then.

Fuck Philly.

Once again, XKCD has a prescient strip:

Maybe I’m not far enough out, but I really, really remember it.

This, THIS is what a normal, sane person is talking about when they're saying that a business can and sometimes should refuse someone service. The utterly insane assholes who start off treating the staff like slaves and go downhill from there. The POS who threatens their way into free stuff because they know a…

Make it a LEGO game and I’m sold.

I am sure she cringes at your judgement...because it’s just totally possible to make $300 a month go much further than she has and be much healthier...

But not even, because AA wasn't profitable under Charney for the last several years of his leadership either. These are just children who are mad that grownups are going to be in charge now, and start actually running the company as something other than a Hedonism resort that occasionally produces leggings.

The author of the Vice article just seems very immature: Numerous relationship partners did not meet your requirements, but you continued the relationship every time? She has vowed to never give another person oral forever. Forever is a long time, girl.

"take great care...give no fucks"

That is good advice, like choosing any high-paying career (finance or medicine), the salary isn't the only factor. ETA: but it's a factor.
