Ohhh. I didn’t notice that bit. Same.

Yes. I mean this as more of a, “I trust him so little that I automatically pick up the smallest detail and assume he is still lying.”

I would normally give someone the benefit of the doubt.

Well, as much as I’d love to believe him, I can’t. I start immediately asking questions, like, why is every word either all caps or start with a capital letter except for the word “negative”? Could be the way that lab does it, but almost nowhere else seems to.

Did someone hurt you?

Edit: checked your bio. Someone definitely hurt you.

They are being shot at. Injuries requiring hospitalization with a chance for permanent disability isn’t “performative.” I can hope but can not trust enough people remain in the police and national guard who are willing to prevent escalation.

As to civil war, I lived in a place where multiple people were hopeful for civil war to start and another place where my high school teacher joked on Facebook about open season on liberals and needing bodybags. I feel a need to prepare for the scum around me, since several are already impersonating ICE officers or killing people.

Nice idea, but that would have required Trump to plan. Maybe he just said the wrong country since after every public speach his aids give him a concussion so he can start fresh next time.

So… you found it mid because it didn’t have more robust stealth mechanics than dealing with the Sentinels? It wasn’t GOTY material, but it was one of my top games that year. Do you also find games like Destroy All Humans, Portal, and Firewatch mid?

Disclaimer: I’m not mad if you find all those mid, just want to know what your baseline for a “good” game is.

Well, ready to sounds similar to passive suicidal ideation. Example: you question if you would be motivated to jump out of the way of an oncoming car or accept it.

By mentally prepared I mean that you have an understanding of your own mortality and accept that life will end at some point without having mental or emotional stress at the thought(s).

Edit: Passive Suicidal Ideation is a sign that assistance may be needed. Anyone struggling with this please reach out to a therapist, memorize your prevention hotline, or throw out other lifelines. I had my struggle, but I will continue because I must. I can’t rely on others to remember those important to me, or mourn them as they deserve.

Welcome to war, where human rights are optional and at the discretion of a select few. People will cheer for death like it’s a gladitorial arena, while others act to mitigate as much suffering as possible. Still others will turn away in disgust and become recluse. No answer is correct; at least until the victor writes the history.

My only (personal) recouse is to focus on my impact at a community level, and hope that I get enough power, money, or influence to eventually do more.

I wish there was an actionable alternative.

I’m willing to be one counterexample in the sea. I am absolutely benefiting from both past American imperialism and the current sales of arms that keeps allowing more atrocities. I used to feel guilt about it, but that didn’t solve anything; neither did staying silent. If all the other loud, noisy, opinionated people in my country can’t keep their mouths shut, I view it as a minor responsibility to at least make them use critical thinking (if possible). I’m saving your comment to show people irl. Hope you stay safe.

No matter what I do for self-care, my toenails are very sharp. I have accidentally made deep cuts on my own feet as well as others many times.

Quick clarification question. Ready to, or mentally prepared for death?

You know, that is one of the most creative safety solutions I have heard. Glad you came up with it (probably due to still wanting to fight). The fight never stops, hope you are still doing well.

+1, ADHD and will forget to drink anything until I start feeling low BP. Usually good at feeling hunger thankfully.

Well, hard water means it could be Ca+2 or Mg+2 ions, but it doesn’t have to be. Any metal or mineral in a “high” concentration (often as a dissolved salt) would make water hard. e.g. Salt water is hard compared to tap standards.

The water for the above user certainly could have been corrosive, or an allergic reaction could be the explanation. With a rural, rock ravine environment, any number of minerals could be in the water. You’re also more likely to get other contaminants like toxins in water not properly tested and treated.

Medusa was a beauty in her own right. Being beautiful in the eyes of the Bone Pharoah often comes with some level of fear/revile in mortals.

They got a little lost

Ayyy. Was hoping someone would get the layup.
