Are you saying that me remarking the lack of verifiable sources is in somehow a logical fallacy?

Read again, in case you needed the refresher

None corroborated in any meaningful way that I was able to find

Same, just got to the final season of SG1, and was worried how everyone’s careers are going to progress before we swap to sg Atlantis

Is this some new dumb law about not showing the effects of genocide? Seems to be the trend of things lately

PLEASE DON’T WATCH WATERSH8P DOWN 1972 AS SUNDAY MORNING CARTOONS

That is to say, don’t do it if you don’t have adult kids and aren’t particularly keen on some well-animated animal violence.

Crazy how different those two products are

That’s obscene

Where I’m from in the US it was always duck duck goose, a kid moved to our school and said grey duck once. Poor kid didn’t hear the end of it until middle school

Oh yeah, happens a lot when parents or the kid are in the system.

For this kid, essentially, although they didn’t prep me as his case worker, had to be put in foster care to keep his other sibling safe. He had assaulted her in some degree that wasn’t disclosed to me, and they still attended family sessions together so I’ve always been unsure of the severity.

Anytime there’s a court involved with kids being taken from parents, temporary or otherwise, a foster care situation will take place over any group home type thing and will be the preferred placement where possible and safe.

Had one young girl who’s parents regularly missed visitations because she was moved states after the father visited the foster home (shouldn’t have had the address, all assumed the daughter passed it on). She was moved out of state to a foster home in the region I worked in, she knew her parents, but hadn’t seen them in person in more than a year, mostly because both parents were addicts and both were on the last straw with the courts, and the dad’s vibes and frequency of calls suggested he wasn’t planning on seeing her again. That girl had to be moved after she bit a chunk of cheek off of her foster placement mom, the sweetest lady I’d met in my time there who had just gotten approved to foster and this was her first placement.

Social work sucks

MAN, social work or Healthcare is wild for this.

Tons of little “yeah, loved talking to the kid. Then the foster family said they couldn’t play Grand Theft Auto in the house their young children live in, so he chucked a controller through a wall. His bio parents bought him a new controller”

I mean, we’re not making Casablanca!

Thanks for the explanation!

Would you happen to have information about any loss from compression or is that kind of thing negligible with that much time for it to unpack?

That would just be my only (uninformed) concern. I already fear we’re going too deep in an era of ‘fake’ things, fake frames, fake 4k, fake lighting through strobing to induce less blur for moving objects (that monitor test was sick, but also I fear eye exhaustion will be a thing). My sibling has a card capable of utilizing new frame gen, and that doesn’t look as bad, but it’s still not visually equal to raw same framerate in terms of clarity for me.

“Cognitive Behavioral Approaches are the most effective means of recognizing negative patterns in real world scenarios and correcting those behaviors is a matter of will and repetition”

And, she was right, as far as I was concerned. I’m not ‘fixed’, but I can tell when my own patterns have kicked in and I’m in a spiraling loop, and the tools/knowledge of kicking that loop with new actions in an attempt to break the pattern has been really helpful.

The most important thing I learned were strategies to handle the panic attacks. The knowledge of flooding the brain with physiological responses through focus on sensations and objects within my immediate vicinity has been instrumental in grounding me to the present. The panic attack still comes, but it’s not as long and I’m not left exhausted, sweaty, and emotionally dead as often as I was.

The mumbo jumbo softer side (I went to school for psych, my BA says I get to say this) of Psych is really good for a lot of things. The practical side of Psychology is really good for most if not all people.

I can’t say I agree with the Bayonetta comment, but it’s because I only played it at a friend’s house a few times growing up and think it’d go over as well as a Final Fantasy movie.

FF 13 sucked for me. The sudden transition to even more linear environments, my salt about a lack of turn based combat, and the oh-my-god-they-out-finalled-their-fantasy with the cutscenes longer than dissertations. I love Sazh, love Fang, I fucks with Vanille and I low key love lightning design and a return to the gun blade. None of that could save that game for me, though. Oh, and fuck turning gods into vehicles, that Shiva-cycle was lame

Okay, Yotei. You’ve played this? And did you not like it, or was the protagonist being a woman somehow harmful to the gameplay or story?

COD, which one, and why is it somehow girlboss slop instead of AI assets and Fortnite-ification slop? Are the woman models better hitboxes or less stereotypical ARMY WARRIOR than the men?

Horizons…like Forza or like the game series that has always been about a woman? Did you play the games, and was her character somehow not the character you expected them to be? (I will say, women make up about 20% of Engineers in the US, so it’s not crazy to think a woman scientist cloned herself, thus resulting in a 'savior character

GTA 6…I don’t play GTA so I can’t say much on that one. Have you played it yet? Can you share details so people can see how girl boss slop it is?

Please, regale us with the girl boss games that suck.

I’m not saying they don’t exist, surely they do, I just want to know which ones you don’t like that you can name.

Can’t watch Seinfeld because Jerry is a vocal zionist. BUT, I can watch Curb Your Enthusiasm and just skip and Seinfeld feature, so far

Just…because I need to know.

Are you Cuno? Or do you hate Cuno?

“Like a leaf caught aflame, it’s matter converted to heat and the bonds broken down to ash. It’s not gone, it’s structure has changed to the point of no longer being ‘a leaf’, and what we see before us when looking at someone/something who has passed on is the same as ashes in the fire. Changed, but jot truly gone”

There’s a fee for that, not joking

Which is exactly what I was talking about. Uhura and Kirk kissing was appalling because it was two people being forced to engage physically against their will. The appalling part wasn’t that there was an interracial kiss, pushing the idea that, in the future there is no problem with interracial relationships or interactions.

It is a story about consent that also cements that racism isn’t an ideal upheld by the ‘good and socially advanced’ people of the federation.
