I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....
I went to college with this guy 10 years ago and I considered him a friend up until this year. Something changed in him, and he constantly needs to put me down and I don’t know how to handle it....
What you were doing was big enough to go straight to reporting. The way he saw you as a person probably changed. Its really not surprising he didn’t talk to you first.
I mean if you were sharing homework answers or olds test, or even cheating on your own test that would be different. You were compltly doing others homework for money. You keep saying that they still did the tests. Well depending on the class, the homework is a big part of the grade. Not to mention all the added free time they get by not doing homework. Extra time to study, less stress, and a boost to their grade. Plus you were doing this for money, not to help a friend or so they would help you with yours. AND it was multiple people, many times throughout the class. On scale of severity, what you did isn’t the absolute worst possible but it’s getting close.
I get very into games so it’s really hard to pick. But the longest lasting impact IRL was when Mass Effect 2 gave me a revelation on human relationships.
I never understood cheating on your partner. I just didn’t get it. I mean if you want to be with someone else, just leave. Shitty people who just don’t care, I get that, but normal people, not at all. I could kinda wrap my head around it if alcohol was involved, or staying because of kids. Other than that nah.
Now I play RPGs as if I was actually going to make those decisions. So I get even more into them than others. Liara wasn’t a love interest and she was who I originally went with in the first one. I was bored without the cute interactions with her, so I started talking to the other females on the ship. But they weren’t Liara. Each one had something I found similar to her. It got to the point where Jack asked me if I was talking to anyone else. I didn’t want to hurt her so I said no. And then Tali asked me the same thing. But better her and Jack, I wanted her. So I said no.
I honestly didn’t realize I was seriously leading them on until I messed it up and they both were mad at me. Then it clicked. Cheating is impulsive because you are looking for someone else. Sometimes you don’t realize you’ve set yourself up until it’s too late. 🤯
That but they don’t know how he made the SOS sign. Its huge, those are trees not branches. The ID they found is from one guy, did he make the sign? Add in the video, a man calling for help but he says “The place is where I first met the helicopter.” What helicopter? Why was there a helicopter? Oh and the parents of the man whose ID was found say that isn’t his voice on the video. But it was his video tape.
Also you’re talking about microalgae, the stuff that makes water look green. The stuff the crabs would be eating is growing on the coral or is shading it like kelp.
Alien/Aliens is a given for most people. I have been watching Event Horizon during the spooky season for years. What are some of your favorite books and movies with a horror/psychological thriller lean?
So I need some realtalk by Lemmie’s resident stoners and possibly medical professionals on the benefits and risks/harms of vaping cannabis refill things on the respiratory system (using a rechargeable vape pen/battery thingy at the lowest heat setting)....
Inhalants in general are not good for you. Vaping introduces water, smoking introduces ash/smoke. There are no benefits to vaping or smoking. Unless you are being prescribed it by a doctor. I mean drugs are not good for you. But if you are going to, your body can usually deal with it well with moderation. Edibles are better than inhalants.
Drowning is very fast, seconds not minutes like in the movies. People in distress can take minutes before they are actively drowning. Active drowning is silent, they will not be yelling for help. It looks like the person is “climbing” or pushing down at the water. They will be vertical in the water and may be “bobbing”, going underwater and resurfacing. They will have their head tilted back parallel to the surface of the water.
If you see someone go under in open water keep looking at where they went under while calling for help, don’t take your eyes off it. If you are the only one who saw them go under, your job is to direct others to where they went down. In open water it’s very hard to find people because the bottom isn’t visible.

Who was worse, George W. Bush or Donald Trump?
Just watched the Boy Boy video on George Bush’s Masterclass, and they made me think about which U.S. President was actually worse.

What was a profound moment that a video game caused you to experience, and why?

Not all heroes wear capes. Some are crabs.
So, do we know what decides if a person develops to become more greedy, agressive and selfish while another becomes altruistic and doesn't care much about wealth and power?
“my, my! humans! so aggressive.”...

Realtalk on vaping cannabis vape refill thingies
So I need some realtalk by Lemmie’s resident stoners and possibly medical professionals on the benefits and risks/harms of vaping cannabis refill things on the respiratory system (using a rechargeable vape pen/battery thingy at the lowest heat setting)....
What's something that's not common knowledge but you think everyone should know?
Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!...
