And even if she had someone mentally competent, the system can be so convoluted it is easy to miss benefits you qualify for OR, and this is a big one no one talks about, have trouble getting approved for these things in a timely manner that is actually help when they need it. Sorry, it might take 6-24mo for you to get that help.
Oooh this meme is great in layers. Peanuts comics came out in 1948 and this refence is able to make the joke in a language they understand. The memes of their childhood. AND this is the bs they spout because it actually WAS true for a time, in their lifetimes. I know it is lame to explain a joke. Idk if younger people would know the extra content, since it is funny enough without it, and I just got all giddy nerdy about how clever it is!
Speaking from general life experience, a lot of those fans are potential victims of the same treatment themselves minors/women
So if you have a child or friend that speaks like that, it is a red flag to pay closer attention to the people they build relationships with and their behavior. I’m not talking about protecting kids from drugs and sex, I mean protect them predators and abuse.

I just finished portal 1 & 2 for the first time! I was let down on the lore and story. I think if you were around on the internet when portal 2 came out in particular, you might understand. It just had so much reference in pop culture without explanation, i expected there to be more once you had context. I was let down.
That said DAMN these are excellent and fun games that are accessible to any player. The games are designed with fantastic visual clues to help you understand new puzzle elements. They are fun, not challenging to a frustrating degree, and the game is structured where you really can just play a bit before dinner or something.
I genuinely preferred vanilla! I couldn’t elaborate on why, especially avoiding spoilers, because my memory is too hazy. However I do think I’m in the minority I’m just giving you my support you’re not alone if you didn’t feel the same. Have you had the chance to play p5 strikers?
Honestly depending how far you are in royal, you might even enjoy royal more if you take a strikers break in between. Strikers follows vanilla ending anyway.
Thank you! It’s actually on sale on playstatiom for $5 or free with ps+ extra so I am definitely going to check that out!
Oh that said I haven’t played half life yet and will once I have a computer. Should I also lower my expectations cuz that was also a Big Deal I haven’t gotten the opportunity to play yet!
Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers’ bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian’s newest with me and I’m trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure...
I’m waiting for persona 3 remake and p5 tactics to go down because those games always seem to eventually be on sale for around $20 after ~12-24mo and I’m behind enough on games it is worth saving the $40+
I’m no Bible thumper but my understanding is OT slavery is nothing like what we would picture in modern times and was more like a contract or agreement of a period of servitude. They were not paid but sheltered and fed. That is why there is so much talk in the OT about treating your slaves well, it was basically the old timey dont be a shitty employer.
If anyone has actual understanding of this beyond jack of all trades osmosis of information like myself, I would love to hear it and welcome replies!
The private meeting was “less than a dozen people” hosted by a real estate dude. Not a politician or even CEO- NOT to say he didn’t have power but it definitely is not one that can extend much farther than the reach of his wallet.
Meanwhile we have a disgraced former president that clogged the courts with bogus claims, uses his influence to sic followers on people he doesn’t like, been accused of (and in some cases, convicted) tax fraud, rape, sexual assualt/harassment, shit wait, THERE IS A LIST!
I know it sounds like I’m being combative but I genuinely don’t hear any details that make biden suck. They make him suck like every other president has sucked, but not like a dictator. It’s boring politics actual shit that we should agree to disagree on because it’s way too complicated, not this “is a book terrible for kids cuz 2 men hold hands in it?”
Larry Ellison, who historically has been a major Republican donor, has not made a single federal political donation so far in 2024, records show. Ellison donated more than $ 3 I million to GOP candidates during the 2022 congressional midterms, according to data from OpenSecrets.
I suspect the family is intentionally sending a message. Lbr, having the son of a proud republican donate to the most neoliberal candidate of 2020/4 isn’t going to be taboo among any of the wealth. Many may donate to “both” sides even. This isn’t a son snubbing his father, this is a wealthy family of influence that have the bare minimum of human decency to not pay to have chaos in the white house again.
You’re right. I suppose it is that I don’t mean it personally, as I’m arguing the idea, rhetoric, mindset etc and not necessarily challenging that individual’s specific beliefs. But still encouraging them to share because I do appreciate learning other perspectives.
Maybe someday it will be something I haven’t heard before. Maybe.
Good to know! Any recommendations of where I could post? I’m trying to update an old 2013 Mac so it can play robox and minecraft. I have a portable HDD to work with as well. And Mac is pretty damn foreign to me and it’s so old. But damn for 10 years old it’s fantastic and most of the specs were better than modern macs (dedicated graphics card for one)
The Seattle Japanese Garden, completed in 1960, is located in the Madison Park neighborhood. During their October, 1960 stop in Seattle, the Japanese Crown Prince Akihito and Crown Princess Michiko visited the newly opened garden. Together, they planted a cherry tree and a white birch, the latter a symbol (o-shirushi) of the Princess’s family.
