you know, this helped me realize why I rage-quit C&C Rivals. I was having a lot of fun, thinking I'm good at the game, going on 40-game win streaks.... then suddenly I am facing opponents with characters 2 levels above mine, gettin

I don't understand this. Is the rabbit who looks down dominant? Is grooming a submissive act on the part of the groomer?

My understanding of racism is that it requires a negative view of a group. None of the above statements appear negative to me at all. Can you explain what you find racist about it?

For me, attending university was useful. I studied biochemistry but ended up in software engineering. That is a direct result of having met people and explored different options available to me in university. On top of that, my science and

In my experience it's to help more people pass. If the natural distribution has 70% as the average, no curve is applied. Above-average outliers (the occasional 100% scores) would be removed from the calculation.

Going to be weird and list a non-video game. I want to play IRL role-playing games where the challenges are physical. Archery, swimming, hiking, treasure hunting, capture the flag, laser tag, city bicycle baton race. It can be organized onl

Writing yourself a note before you end your session is probably a good idea here. "Trying to kill Molduga for <reasons>, but want to use different armor, so traveling through Hebra for Coolshrooms".

I had a lot of respect for Musk but at this point it's clear he's a con artist with a lot of luck and chutzpah (and money?) It's really disappointing. If he were... 30% more honest and less of a dirtbag, he could truly be one

Weight is often a cause but is not necessary to produce apnea. The human breathing apparatus is just weird. I'm glad you have a way to prevent snoring. But I wonder if sleeping on your belly isn't also bad for your sleep. Everythi

Another thing to look into is whether you have snoring / sleep apnea. Most people who do, it seems, are not aware of it. 2 easy, objective tests: 1) Ask your sleeping partner, if you have one, if you snore. 2) Record yourself sleeping.

An update on this. I remembered when I enjoyed working out: it was when I would go solo to a clean, low-traffic, convenient gym and do some cardio and weightlifting at my pace, tracking progress. I started doing this again today! I have als

This also doesn't count time spent thinking about / gathering / preparing / cleaning up w.r.t. food, hygiene, etc. GP is just another dismissive comment. Exercise is also a job to me.
