You're right, that is incredibly dumb. Just not for the reasons you think it is. Imagine using iostream rather than stdio and unironically trying to clown on \n

As somebody who has published cybersecurity research AND a good number of youtube videos about niche video games, I can promise you making a YouTube series on an obscure video game does not get in the way of doing scientific research. With the magic of unrestrained autism, both are possible.

Not the person you're responding to, but it's hard as an American to see our country as decadent. The majority of us poors are barely making it paycheck to paycheck and don't experience anything you might call decadent. For the record I agree with you that on the world stage decadence is a valid adjective for the state of the US, but I don't know that I'd have that perspective if I never lived outside of the US and never got to see it from the outside looking in

Not sure if Rutte is a dipshit or if he thinks he's speaking to dipshits. Claiming that defense and economics are separate is wildly inaccurate to the point of abject stupidity. The entire problem American fascists claim to have with Nato is that they're not putting enough of their economy into defense

D.A.R.E. slapped so hard for stoner culture. Like if you ask me to imagine a generic stoner they're wearing an old faded black tshirt with the D.A.R.E. logo every time

This hurts my soul, just make firecrackers bro. Basically make a graham cracker sandwich with peanutbutter, Nutella, or both, and sprinkle abv directly on the spread. Ideally spread two Graham crackers and use them to make sure the abv is entirely encased in fat. Loosely wrap with tinfoil then into the oven at 200F for 20-30 minutes. Unwrap and sail away.

Ouch. I'm used to "do you feel old" posts being relatable, but the black theme on the computer tower and the 700mb disc hurt me. I remember feeling sci-fi as fuck when I finally got rid of my old off-white/beige tower for a black tower, and scoffing at the idea of removable media holding more than a few mb of data.

I'd bet at least some were a lot more graphic than what was reported. I'd really love to like, run into a Greenlander in this thread whose door was knocked on and hear what they actually said. There had to be at least a few "go fuck yourself with a rusty crowbar" type responses

Legit I came to the comments because boy love is all I could think of for what BL meant

 

The Blister Exists, by slipknot. In case the link doesn't work properly. The drum part that starts at ~2:12 is imprinted on my psyche for the rest of my life. I smack my thighs hard enough to bruise air-drumming along to this song

 

Spirit bow has blooming and speed augment. Spawn grass and burn everything at range with the blazing crossbow buffed darts and sniper's mark ability, artifacts and haste armor ability to get away or run through the fire. This build did monstrous aoe damage, spawning massive blazes nearly every fight

The real star of this run was the parchment scrap. Since the update where energizing potions and scrolls identifies them, it feels very viable to identify all of the extra scrolls and potions from the first 4 floors by energizing them and pumping that into the parchment scrap. 10x enchantment/glyph find and 0x curse find on armor and weapons is a wild effect to have before floor 5. In the posted run I got a lucky weapon early with this strategy which snowballed into RoW drops, making a build that felt very strong starting on floor 4 and continuing for the rest of the game

 

I'm currently working on a PhD, and I had a meeting that felt like an intervention with my advisor where she encouraged me to take a few months away from the program to take care of myself. For context, I used to work for the airforce, and apparently I picked up some pretty severe mental health problems that have lead to not sleeping and panic attacks when I read papers about military hardware (not ideal when my current interest is hardware side cybersecurity).

What the fuck does "take care of yourself" mean? Like, I don't know what to do with my hands. I've spent my entire life with a fast paced schedule, either with school work or some other crisis I've needed to attend to. Now I'm like... trying to accept going to therapy and I'm doing yoga with some people in my research group a few times a week, but i don't know what to do with my time otherwise. I feel like smoking all of the weed in this state playing video games and rotting in bed isn't the answer, but that's where I'm at. I'd love any advice or to hear from anybody who's been in that position of being told to take a few months off for mental health
