Super Mario 64 on my switch. Reminds me of great childhood memories.

My point was that I had linked to plenty of countries not located within north or south America.

I have a surface pro 8 and love it for school work in grad school. I love the stylus for note-taking and load it up with pirated textbooks. Saved $670 - $780 (used vs new) on next semester’s books.

I can’t see myself buying a new one tho once I finish school.

Oh whoops, my bad…

This doesn’t look heavenly to me… looks ominous as fuck.

Pretty awesome tho.

My first thought was an altered item in Control, but SCP also works.

I felt like Control was practically an SCP universe. Absolutely loved that game.

Yeah, like Italians, the Irish weren’t considered White. Whiteness was a concept invented to justify slavery and human exploitation in the New World. It’s interesting to see how different races have become accepted as ‘White’ over time.

A book I highly recommend is White Fragility by Diangelo.

So formidable… Earlier detection of a severely outdated aircraft that’s being phased out…

Elephants are incredible animals. They have complex communication and even communicate through seismic vibrations through the ground via their feet, and they can even recognize the elephant sending the seismic message. Additionally, they have cultural practices, including funeral rituals.

For citations for these claims and more information, here is a blog post of mine (I have ads turned off and don’t benefit from my blog in any way).

Thanks!

I bit for a minute there, until I realized that video is 3 hours and 45 minutes long… I don’t care that much…

There’s no question the planet and all other life would be better off if we died out in the stone age. Climate change, PFAS, microplastics… We’re parasites to the planet (channeling my best Andrew Ryan impression there).

Well the world would certainly be a better place now if that were the case.

Gives me major Inside (videogame) vibes.

I’m going in hoping it will be decent, but the little I’ve seen of trailers (which I avoid) felt kind of like a toned down, tamer Fallout than the gritty games…

It made me feel like it won’t be any heavier than a Star Wars film, which will be utterly disappointing for a Fallout adaption.

I had mixed feelings on The Last of Us show, but at least they kept it adult and gritty. I so hope this Fallout series isn’t some daytime PG-13 silly bullshit.

The main pic is totally a metal band made up of identical sextuplets.

PDF Gear is the free alternative I use. Adobe can eat read a dick.

If you want to become a better resource, I’d start by making more LGBT+ friends.

I absolutely agree with you and I’m hoping to do just that. I have trouble making/keeping friends in general due to life’s inherent chaos. The older I get, the harder it seems to be to make new friends. In undergrad, I’d make good friends for that semester, and then slowly lose touch after the semester ended.

Being naturally introverted makes it a bit of a challenge too. I’ve thought about going to a local bar that isn’t exclusively a gay bar, but it is very inclusive and popular with the local LGBTQ+ community. There’s also a really great support organization downtown that welcomes volunteers, and I plan to pursue that for sure.

Just sent you a PM, thanks!

I think it’s funny but I feel like PM vs DM demonstrates age range. I also say PM, but most people seem to say DM now.

I don’t think you got carried away at all in your comment! I appreciate your feedback.

I plan on being trauma-informed and operating through a person-centered lens, because I believe everyone’s story is unique. A counselor I interviewed said “We must have an insatiable curiosity for the individual’s unique story” and I really liked how she put that.

I definitely hear you with the privacy concerns. What I did as an adult caseworker was have my notes coded in a shorthand that wouldn’t make sense to anyone else. I plan on doing this as a counselor (as well as other measures), that way even if my notes were subpoenaed, it would require my testimony. This would allow me to choose what to say in order to advocate for my client, and insulate them from their progress notes being used against them.
