Oh, wow. Lucky break.

Yeah, I'm not much for code either. I mean I can wire a shaped-charge baton into primary fire control, but that's about it. Not much use for system warfare when you're creeping through tunnels lined with RA-knows-what.

Wouldn't want to run into much fire down there, though. That'd be a time and a half.

asking for a friend but do you guys think it'd be a good idea to install like, one of those little rotisserie grill things for hotdogs in my genghis? cause like, sometimes a girl gets hungry and all that heat might as well be USEFUL yaknow?

[witchzvamp]

first of all, these boys need to learn when shut the fuck up omg it's better than get more and more into this mess! everyone is so damn dumb, i was dumb when i was a teenager but god not this much

second, fou4mod is not all THAT, not enough to have TWO boys trying to get him like you guys (baabin) are better than this! i mean he such a mess like omg he doesn't need you guys in a weird competition to know who he gonna end up with he needs therapy and if you guys like him so much send him to therapy asap; all of you guys need therapy actually

third of all, i don't know how should i feel about bua?? he's a sweetheart but i don't know if he really does feel something real for baabin; i understand he's in need of real attention and love but it's like he clings to the first person he thinks will be good for him, which is a little unhealthy (actually VERY UNHEALTHY); but love him regardless

and i have nothing to talk about baabin bc he let me down so much and depending on what he does next week's episode i gonna become his hater #1

trying not to think about it. and by it, i mean the way my roommates lizards enclosure smells strongly of piss and shit, i’ve never seen her clean it, it’s in a cold room with two heat lamps, she feeds it chicken and cat food and nothing else, it gets no enrichment, and it’s lethargic as all hell when from everything i’ve read this species of lizard is supposed to be pretty energetic. i can’t even fix all of this for her, because first of all if it’s received well it’ll become an expectation and add to the free labour we’re constantly doing just to keep her from making us homeless, and second of all if it’s not received well she’ll freak the fuck out and we’ll be one step closer to being homeless. i don’t know what the fuck to do, because she’s a family friend of our partners family, so i can’t even get the SPCA involved or take her pets when i leave, because then we’ll have massive problems with our partners family. all i can do is hope that god will fucking mercy kill these animals soon so they don’t have to live with all the abuse and these fucking horrible conditions. and i know that’s horrible to say, but fuck, dude, i’m a human who can pull myself out of abuse and that’s why i keep going. these are helpless animals who are entirely at her mercy and will live like this until they die. if i was stuck here forever, i’d want to die. i mean shit, we tried to kill ourself over the winter because we thought we would be stuck here (or in situations like this) until we die. no one is going to save these animals, and there’s nothing we can do to help.

[selfconsumerofmywoes]

very much need to go to the doctors but am also very much extremely terrified of being dismissed

[fereldanwench]

ughh i wanna play a game but nothing is scratching the itch rn

[thenightisland]

not to be adhd posting again but you really don't realize how genuinely disabling it is until you have meds that decrease the disabling effect and find yourself being delighted by having the executive functioning abilities necessary to do like. more than one task a day. or spontaneously clean something. or your emotions not being quite so wildly dysregulated (which also makes it easier to function turns out). my Functional Human Level has dramatically increased over the last few months. love not playing life on challenge mode every day.

[untoterxhund]

either gonna remake again in the future and hand out the url privately or gonna clean out the followers list again me'thinks. so if you wanna stay mutuals and plan on writing w/ me in the future when I can actually dedicate time to doing so w/out any stressors or anxiety spikes then please, slap that heart real quick for me.

if not, it was a pleasure to write and talk for a bit and wish y'all good luck on your future endeavors 'n stuff.

[blackmoldmp3]

its so fucking annoyinggggggg i want stuff to feel good and exciting again but instead its Nothing. and i have things to do

[obstinaterixatrix]

It actually was pretty tough to get diagnosed with and medicated for adhd, everyone kept telling me it was probably anxiety and nobody believed me until like five years ago I went through one of those intensive two-day testing whatevers and the psychologist looked at the data and went like Huh, That’s ADHD. then two years ago when I was On The Brink because of work I tried to see a therapist and in the first session I was hit with ‘actually instead of adhd it’s probably something else’ and then I quit my job

Just realized something about the dbd update that didn’t really hit me when I read the patch notes.

Grim embraces buff makes it a super important perk. Because now we’re really gonna have to consider if this gen has enough progress to warrant using a regression event on it and all that jazz. Gen blocking perks are gonna be essential slowdown now because they won’t use a regression event. We’re gonna see a surge in use of gen blocking perks rather than gen damaging perks. Which might be kind of annoying… It’s also gonna make people not really want to use weaker regression perks that are more valuable being used repetively and instead want to focus on stronger regression perks. Pop combined with overcharge or call of brine I think will make a return then. Cause would you rather bring jolt with it’s what 8% progress and basic regression speed or Pop (30% progress) and call of brine (125% regression speed plus tracking)? Maybe even a return of Ruin in the meta if it doesn’t trigger a ‘regression event’.

Unless I have misunderstood entirely what they are trying to do here. I don’t think I like this update much.

ok sorry i just really loved the thought of n arguing with this little thing i wanted to draw it

Do you ever think about how almost all of N’s Pokémon throughout the first games were one offs he released after he battled you, how he cared about them all deeply enough that he thought it would be selfish to have them battle more than necessary. And do you ever think about how this is the case with all his Pokémon EXCEPT his Klinklang in the final battle at the league, where the second to last battle he had a Klink and this Klinklang is very likely that same Pokémon? Do you think this was a visual representation of his mindset wavering from a fixed point? How that Klink refused to leave him right away and he couldn’t bring himself to force them to leave because his mind is in so many different directions? He can keep them around just a little longer until he becomes champion, it won’t be long, he can bend things some so long as he doesn’t fully stray from his path…right?

Or is that just me am I the only one willing to be insane about Klinklang of all Pokémon

[marsixm]

im not totally getting off all social media im just trying not to be on my phone, like even doing most of these things on my ipad doesnt seem to be as bad of a distraction. what im trying right now to internalize is the fact that the pervasive sadness and feeling insecure wont go away, but hopefully the compulsion to deal with it thru posting and the all consuming nature of it will be easier and easier to deal with until theyre background radiation i can just ignore

[dravidious]

You're more amazing than a full minute

Werewolves need help but everyone else trying to help them is STUPID and WRONG so I did it better. You're welcome

Also an artifact that I just had the idea for and kinda sorta supports werewolves if you squint so I gave it Innistrad flavor and threw it in the batch. So there, unique support cards that aid werewolves in their transforming endevors without defaulting to the laziest possible-

"Why not just give werewolves flash?"

FUCKING FINE

You want flash so bad you can spend 3 mana on it

My husband and I were discussing how the first felon is defending the FDA and how the quality control of our food is gonna basically disappear and I proceeded to have so much anxiety about it that I didn't sleep last night. How do we prepare for this? Is there a way to make food safe at home? How can we avoid getting poisoned from the grocery store? Sorry for bringing this anxiety to your inbox but I'm exhausted and scared and I'm hoping you've come up with food safety tips what with your general food complications.

I’m afraid I don’t have a solution for something of this scale and am just as equally terrified, but that said:

Check your local state regulations. Some states actually have strict testing that the FDA when it comes to certain things like milk. See if they are listing any recalls.

Stop eating things raw for the foreseeable future. Wash and cook everything thoroughly, even if the bag claims it’s pre-washed, wash it again. Cooking will also help eliminate any remaining pathogens. It means no more salads for a while but that’s okay.

For things like fruit, try to go with things that have an outer skin that can be taken off. If it requires you to cut into it with a knife, give the outer skin a scrub and rinse to reduce the chances of your knife being contaminated by anything like e-coli and then contaminating the insides by cutting it up.

For fruit that can’t be peeled, make sure to inspect and wash them thoroughly. If you are immunocompromised like me, consider cooking it down into a jam or pie filling to reduce further risk. Not as fun as eating it fresh for some people, but it’s a valid way of still getting the flavor and nutrients.

For things like milk, only drink pasteurized and ultra pasteurized. Try to get pasteurized eggs if you can too.

If you don’t have a meat thermometer, now is the time to get one. Make sore everything is cooked to its required internal temperature. For poultry, the recommended temperature is 165°F (74°C), while for beef and pork, the recommended temperature is 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest time. Ground meats should be cooked to 160°F (71°C). Eggs should be cooked until the yolk is set. No more runny egg yolks for a bit until we get a competent source of information back about bird flu.

For things like flour, try to go for reputable brands that have their own independent testing facilities for things like gluten. They also usually test for other things and clean their facilities thoroughly. My go to is King Arthur atm.

Also, stop eating raw cookie dough if you’re not going to toast the flour in the oven first. That’s how a lot of people get sick, not necessarily from the raw egg, though stop eating raw egg right now if you do. Again, bird flu. [Addendum] I learned the flour trick in a job I used to work, but apparently, the pre-defunded FDA didn't think toasting the flour made it safe, so maybe just don't eat raw cookie dough. And I know someone's going to be a cunt in the notes like "I don't care I do what I want" good for you, hope saying that made you feel better.]

This is a dwindling possibility with the tariffs but try to buy food imported from other countries that still have food quality control. I get my masa harina from a small company that imports directly from Colombia. They can’t afford the gluten free label required to be classified as such in the USA, but considering Cheerios in the USA can afford to buy that label and the celiac foundation certification logo and still routinely sells contaminated produce due to not using gluten free oats and a mechanical sorting system that can’t be certified gluten free (1) (2) (3), I’m more inclined to go with other countries labeling right now.

With clean water under threat, use a filter for your drinking water. We currently use the ones by Life Straw. They don’t fit into your faucet but the LS filters are better than most of the ones that can be attached that way and the housing of the jugs and countertop filters are easy to clean. Make sure you do so once a week and change the filters as directed.

Most of this is just basic food hygiene stuff combined with what it’s like to be immunocompromised, but it’s always worth repeating in case someone didn’t know, but especially worth repeating right now with all our rules and regulating bodies going out the window 😞

Not to jump the gun but I think I’ve unlocked the secret to my executive function ohmygod

I realized the roots of my procrastination/executive function issues & after processing it, it’s like that wall that’s stopped me from doing anything has come down (or at least shrunk down to an easily jump-over-able height)
