I definitely completed it solo. Finding spell books definitely helps, but just crafting spells with the given elements can be more than enough to muddle through.

You can give yourself armor to assist in your normal squishy wizard self that definitely helps with the tougher bits.

I don’t. Mostly because this isn’t a trick or treat neighborhood.

I probably would though, given the option.

Deleting old installs.

And upon taking possession of and then deleting them how aggressively the browsers I am using are collecting and maintaining files on me. It shouldn’t take 40 minutes to delete browser files from an install that only lasted 2 months.

Is it a reference I don’t get, or do you happen to know someone else in a strikingly similar situation?

It’s not satire?

Call in every dude who enters the bathroom. Surely one of them will get you paid and the rest will sure be happy to be checked in whatever barbaric method I’m sure they’ve planned out.

Stupid laws like this assume that it’s only ‘perverted men’ who want to put on dresses and don’t actually have any thoughts grounded in reality. Every single time a law like this gets enacted it’s the job of everyone to waste as much government funding as possible so they quickly rethink their stupid bigoted schemes.

Wanted kids, got married and careered at the right time to fund kids, then wife had a major mental breakdown after funking out of college, developed schizophrenia, and now has the mentality of a kid. Some days a toddler, some days a high schooler. I’ve been the only household income since marriage year 2, and I can’t afford to deal with a pregnancy from that mental state or be basically a single parent afterward.

I’m considering adoption of teens after I retire and the assumed passing of my wife as she has a small pile of other health issues at this point slowly eating away at her.

Things should work in the ways you describe. Sadly they often don’t due to untold decades of lowering funding and general neglect have made the systems we have in place for our most vulnerable slow and bad enough to be worse than useless. They’re actively harmful.

People who are disabled from birth or before working age are religated to a minimum assistance payment that does in no way meet the basic requirements to live in most places in the United States. Filing for that is a lengthy process that’s often arbitrarily refused and requires even more time and effort put into it for (in many cases) a total payment less than the federal minimum wage monthly.

This is why you’re seeing a lot of comments about OP getting moved in with family.

Because he’s my coworker/underling… And I need to be able to leave him to do work on his own at times. Watching him absolutely fail to recognize cause and effect more than once yesterday was depressing and is no doubt going to lead to problems in the future.

A medium high 1. I watched a man struggle to understand the basic gist of gravity.

It seem incredibly unlikely anymore. Schizophrenia is a hell of a thing and getting the appropriate amount of support for anything like this that has a spectrum of severity is absolutely not possible. Besides the professional help my other half doesn’t seem very interested in improving their situation at all.

It sure does show the state of things.

Then again I was stuck in a decent amount of traffic today and the sheer amount of people who attempt to “beat the system” of driving in an orderly manner is also insanely high.

I’d love to think that we’re better than this as a society, but the reality of the situation is that we’re one or two small steps from pure anarchy and it really wouldn’t take all that much to get there from where we are.

Bored. I’m out on my anniversary tradition, which is going apple picking… Except my other half immediately rolled out the picnic blanket and has been sleeping on me for the past hour.

It’s sad to think of how the dynamics have changed over the past 10 years between us. It’s almost like the brain hamster wheels have all fallen apart and what’s left are only the most basic of human functions. It’s days like today I wish my country had any kind of worthwhile mental health care.

What even is this question?

I’m tied down by one financial anchor and have opted to add two more smaller ones on top of that for giggles. I live very comfortably paycheck to paycheck, if I need to save for anything I can fairly easily put away around 3k a month. I can afford a random 1k expense without issue, currently anything above 2k would be a bit tougher, but still manageable.

I mean… you know how your bits work, it’s easy to figure that your partner knows how their bits work… It just takes some communication to do something that feels nice for both sets of bits.

It’s not unusual for the first several times to be a bit awkward as you learn about the others preferences, but it gets better as you become more comfortable with the quirks of your partner.

The physical parts of it can be imitated well enough with the various devices, so you can experience those whenever.

The emotional side of things is much more complicated. For that each person is very very different, and it really depends on the situation, relationship, and intentions… just to name a few sides.

Teachers have a union, but somehow it’s ridiculously weak or just corrupted horribly to favor everyone except the teachers.

Oh. Joy. I am certain the Mario odyssey modders who have been showcasing hide and seek along with prop hunt as ways to play the game with friends after enjoying the official experience will appreciate their hard work being flagged and demonitized.

Can’t wait for Nintendo to go after the romhackers after this, and eventually cleanse all of the internet of their IP, causing people to just not know or care about their IPs anymore. Please Nintendo, figuratively shoot yourself in the face more.

I can only hope this ‘case’ is quashed so hard into the stone age it comes from that it weakens copyrights worldwide.
