I'm playing video games all day instead of getting a job because I'm done supporting fascism, you jackbooted fuck. I legitimately view wasting your investment in me as an engineer as the best use of my time that I have the energy and emotional capacity for right now. Not being able to move to another country won't stop me from being part of the brain drain.

Those abs need a marble statue, not a shirt

I'm one of them, haha. My archives are nice and organized, but anything related to a current project I'm working on either lives on the desktop or lives at ~, depending on which machine I'm using. Automated output type files go into a structure (like any kind of processed or cleaned data), but figures? References? Drafts? FFA on the desktop. For whatever reason I just cannot function with an organized workspace

Contradiction isn't nuance

Seriously, why would anybody bother putting their papers in a folder when the desktop is just right there?

I'm pro LGBTQ

against trans-women in women's sports

No, you're not pro lgbtq. You're a TERF at best

against consumerism/capitalism, pro socialism. Pro government control on key infrastructure (water, gas, electricity) and better housing and support services. (...) pro taxing the rich

pro merit success

??? Do you understand what any of those words mean? "Pro merit success" directly contradicts each of the social policies you claim to support.

Pro climate policies

I'm also against fossil fuel bans

You're either lying about one of these or you somehow think we can stop climate change without stopping the most significant cause of climate change?

Does the complete lack of internal consistency in your worldview not bother you at all? You have no defined political leaning, you have a bunch of emotionally driven contradictory political opinions that you clearly have little to no understanding of.

Given that description, I'd guess you probably call yourself a centrist and vote conservative.

There's a huge difference between being progressive to attract women and being progressive and noticing that some women find that attractive. I'm glad you were able to work out/are working on your demons. I don't appreciate being accused of the same based on a comment that only relates to your situation if you make significant assumptions.

Sure, if you're a TERF and believe that validating trans people is violence against women. Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you probably don't recognize that as a TERF talking point, I'd advise you to be more careful about where you source your facts lest you end up accidentally spewing hate. If you are a TERF, I'd advise you that trans rights are human rights and you should stop being a bigot.

At least the program can run in polynomial time. They tried to do the same for yall stamp collectors moms but quickly realized that problem was NP hard!

It's called garbage can, not garbage can't

 

This is my inventory after killing goo. XPD-HJC-HGR if anybody wants to play this amazing seed on a class where +1 strength ring and uncursed greataxe by floor 3 aren't wasted. The mimic tooth was a random trinket choice and I don't know if that is tied to the seed, but everything else is in visible rooms in the first 4 floors

 

Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.

The women fighting are labeled "mathematicians defining pi" and "engineers just using 3 because it's within tolerance"

The man smoking is labeled "astrophysicists" and the pipe is labeled "pi = 1"

 

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
