Remember: if you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t.

I made an edit

Hmm

I don’t want to be fooled or let myself get exploited. It doesn’t feel good.

This is the crux of your issue: you don’t want to be hurt, so you’re trying to logic your way out of love. If you maintain this reservation, you will never let down your guard and let others see you for who you really are.

No one can define love for you (it’s been tried for all of mankind, no one has succeeded). You define love for yourself.

Either you will allow yourself to be vulnerable around people you trust and have an affinity for, or you won’t.

Determining your path will take time and experimentation.

Neckties follow similarly.

Fun fact, doctors used to always wear neckties. But it was found that they are great at passing on infections from one patient to another. There was backlash from the necktie wearing doctors when it was suggested they should stop wearing them. Took some time to change.

Bonus: hand washing was also rejected because “doctors are special, they can’t be dirty” (paraphrased)

Oh, Andor season 2 soon?

6 and 8, generally

Me on my 6th playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3. Only one has reached act 3.

Thanks, I know I stole most of it from somewhere years ago.

And hold him there.

He is the poor man’s idea of a rich man.
He is a weak man’s idea of a strong man.
He is the failure’s idea of success.

He is delusion made manifest.

Or arrest them.

So when we go to war, they’ll be our Allies again?

WTF is happening

Standard time is year around. Unless stupid people swap clocks.

Standard time is normal “before humans going to war were involved” time.

They got big mad and decided to reverse Uno us.

Since I was a kid, “I’m so broke, I can’t even pay attention!”

I’m more productive in the office, but that’s just me.

The best experience I had was when I was an independent contractor / student as production coordinator at my college radio station (max $100/week at $10/hr). I was helping produce elements for the school’s overall internet radio channel, but also helping other students who wanted assistance with assets for their shows.

One young woman was trying to record herself to voice her show’s promo, but her energy just wasn’t there. I had an idea: open the mic and record, I’ll go into main studio, which had a lot of sound proofing, and then get her to repeat her promo until I could hear her. After a few takes it sounded like we might have a win.

I went back and trimmed the audio to just the few takes she had done, and the last one was phenomenal. It was so perfect in every way, so we used it for her show. That’s the shit I like doing, and why I prefer working at the office.
