Moonstone Island at the moment. And Baldurs Gate 3 because cross-play finally lets me party up with my husband.

David Draiman. Sadly I can’t listen to the guy sing anymore without my brain thinking of the horrors he is actively supporting.
I was on the left before I started reading / watching anything online. My positions didn’t change but it feels like all of politics shifted right. So I guess im further left now by comparison than I used to be.
I think the main difference for me is that the internet wrecked my trust in the mainstream media and people in power. I question things more now than I used to. Then again that could have happened naturally just by growing up too.
The foundation of the building I live in is from the 1880’s. Does that count?
The only thing that gives me some satisfaction when I read anything about this horrific bully is that there’s no way she’s happy. People who live a happy and fulfilled life just don’t do this kind of stuff. I doubt any outside force will ever adequately punish her for all the evil she has caused but at least I rest a bit easier being sure that her mind is a sad place to be indeed.
When I was about 12 or so I had a AA battery and some copper wire I used for crafting. Out of nowhere I suddenly got really curious how good of a conductor that wire would be. So I pressed it onto both poles with my fingers. Had a nice black scorched line in my thumb for a few months because it turns out the excess energy needs to go somewhere. In this case in the form of extreme heat.
Yep. It’s a big part of why my partner and I opted not to have kids. Not only is not having kids one of the best ways to limit one’s own carbon footprint but I also am deeply worried about the quality of life for us and for all generations after us.
I mean… yes. Definitely yes to the impostor syndrome. But people thinking I had answers made me pay attention differently and made me work harder to understand stuff because people were counting on me to always know.
It was like having an accidental accountability buddy. I could be questioned on the testing material basically at any point in time. So I tried to always be ready.
The way I pulled it off is basically by pure chance. A few classmates had gotten the impression (still don’t know how or why) that I was a good student. Whenever they had any difficulty at all they’d ask me. As such I was constantly explaining a bunch of stuff, especially the more difficult parts of the material. So from the moment I first understood it I just kept on repeating it to others endlessly.
In retrospect that’s probably what helped me get through the whole thing.
Such a cliffhanger though. Now I need to know: Was there or was there not a play date with Piper?
I hope you’re right about the testing. Wish it said in the article. Also more sex ed is always a good idea.
Sadly I don’t think you’re wrong about the puritanical bit. I didn’t think I was but the idea of this many sexual partners in this short a time does make me uncomfortable. Definitely gave me something to think about and maybe uncovered some bias worth working on.
Nah, I wasn’t pretending. I enjoyed 85% of all of my courses so usually I was hyper focusing during class. The remaining 15% of courses were pure hell though.
