conjuring best series

[summer warren]

I've been scaredy-cat for horror movies for so long, since the end of my teenage years lol then a few months ago I wanted to see Weapons and some friends suggested we watched the whole sequence to make me less scared, it worked, I loved most of them

[summer warren]

you're not wrong lol I still have to not look sometimes

[tame holly]

I saw Return of the Living Dead the year it came out (I was 4), so the standard was set pretty high for me haha. The freaking preschool put it on for us. The 80s were a wild time lol. Respect to Tar Man.

[summer warren]

and Weapons, I "saw" it but didn't pay attention, @swift star was distracting me lol

[swift star]

they were having you watch that in preschool? nossa. those were the days?

[swift star]

what I did, woman? I'm all innocent and ish ❤️

[summer warren]

my sister would make me watch saw and other horror things as a child, as a teenager i started to feel like i was putting myself into much stress by choice, then i learned I didnt like the genre and it was okay, but now, as a grownup, I'm starting to feel a certain excitement in the fear, so i guess im back to it

[tame holly]

Same preschool put on Ice Pirates. They were clearly out of their minds.

what's a game you guys play you wouldn't think anyone else would know of or play if they do (currently playing)

[tame holly]

Cozy Keep! It's super cute and everyone should take a peek. It's still in development but I got a good 45 hours out of it and am very eager for more.

Run a merchant shop, fill it by adventuring or farming or gathering or all 3, pay your taxes, pet Henry the cat.

[prisma rivet]

sounds like an old merchant game I played years ago haha

[tame holly]

It's nuts cause like 2 nights before I found out it existed, I was wishing out loud to my hubby for a game that let me do literally everything that game's about. And cause of that game I found my way to Enshrouded!

[crimson canopy]

What a happy surprise this morning, Hello from Oregon to ya!

[edgy forge]

https://youtu.be/j-8cUu7QTjI this will probably kill a lot of games that don't rely heavily on cosmetic stuff.

[robust pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/willy-wonka-oh-no-charlie-and-the-chocolate-factory-dont-come-back-gif-16604590

[misty sable]

not sure why Americans think this will effect them

[robust pendant]

I mean it will, gaming is a global business and to sell your game in the EU, you'll have to abide by their rules.

But also, as much as I generally dislike asmongold, he's 100% right. The companies are against it because it will lose them money, and their #1 goal is to make as much money as possible. And if your business model relies on scamming your audience out of money, then you deserve to be shut down 🤷‍♀️

[prisma rivet]

When you wanna post a picture of your cat being absolutely adorable but it involves a selfie

[misty sable]

not sure why you assumed i was defending pay to win games

[robust pendant]

Oh I didn't think you were, I was just agreeing with the video and summarizing it for people who don't want to watch asmongold

[edgy forge]

What happens in 1 country frequently gets adopted in another country. Also if a HUGE market like the EU bans it then that makes it less profitable to make a game because a huge chunk of potential customers is suddenly gone. Less customers=less income, means less incentive to make games that have monetization like most mobile games.

[prisma rivet]

if you think about it, weed is only illegal in America cause the rest of the world had it banned too

[edgy forge]

I think many of the mobile games do have predatory monetization. It's a tricky thing to regulate.

[edgy forge]

That's the Opposite. The USA forced most western nations to make drugs and marijuana illegal.

Once you start researching how drugs became illegal you'll see who was pushing the hardest on making them illegal. The reasons why though isn't always 100% clear on lesser and non-addictive drugs. The hard stuff like cocaine, heroin and meth is obvious to be illegal.

[robust pendant]

Either way; I have zero sympathy for game companies with predatory monetization. It's far past time for that stuff to be removed.

[edgy forge]

Some stuff like psychedelics has potential to be used for depression and shown to be effective in controlled studies.

[misty sable]

you really think the us government is not going to ban that kind of thing? there not case in point tech company's are allowed to do equally shady stuff with out so much as a slap on the wrist.

[robust pendant]

Without getting too much into current us politics... no I don't think the US economy is going to be investigating new regulation for the next few years 😝

That's another reason why the EU making the change is a big deal

[edgy forge]

It depends upon who's in power. Also MONEY silences a LOT of politicians once it falls into the right pockets. Corruption in the USA is FAR underestimated.

[edgy forge]

I suspect when it does, California will be leading regulations for gaming. They're usually the 1st state to lead the charge against companies doing bad stuff.

[robust pendant]

Yeah but there's a big difference between state level regulations and federal ones, as far as meaningful change goes. Any state-level regulation is probably gonna take a few extra years because it'll be tied up in the courts by people trying to stop it from passing.

[half fiber]

The US government unfortunately has more concerns than to dictate game monetization.

And those concerns seem to be hurting people and destroying their livelihoods so.

[edgy forge]

What happens in California frequently cascades down to other states. Take the situation with glocks in California as a recent example that is effecting all other states without other states adopting it yet.

[half fiber]

Doubt they care about monetary laws in terms of games.

[edgy forge]

It's not currently anywhere near the top of the list of things people are fighting for, so a lower priority at best.

[half fiber]

It doesn’t seem to be a priority at all.

Considering they’d rather pull apart families, traumatize whole families and rip apart relationships because people wanna be free and be who they are. 🥹

Also Asmongold is correct but nobody should be taking anything that man says at face value. Dude’s a lunatic.

BS political crap. Politics are banned in the server for a reason - see rules.

[prisma rivet]

Bruh imma be murdered by a Lyft driver one of these istg, the whole system is wack lmao

TV shows be instilling fears I shouldn't be having

[ionic sentinel]

The irony is the person was policing chat earlier today and going off about people breaking rules lol

@robust pendant and correct me if im wrong but drugs are also a hard no in the server, no? Pretty sure i have been scolded before for mentioning such things.

[robust pendant]

Yeah, the rule is pretty much 'family friendly'. Minor mentions and thoughtful discussions are generally fine no matter what the topic, but it's always a "tread carefully" because people have strong opinions.

But things like drug/political imagery, memes, etc aren't generally okay. They often incite people on purpose

[teal summit]

Hopefully, politics aren't okay at all either. No way you can have a respectful indecisive conversation about that.

[robust pendant]

I mean you can, and we have, and the CMs even have engaged in it. But it's definitely somethign to be careful of.

[teal summit]

CMs?

[robust pendant]

Community managers (Toast and CUB)

[ionic sentinel]

Aye Toast and a bunch of us were talking about the unfortunate educational system in the US and how much history classes fail lol

[teal summit]

I guess that's sort of political, at least adjacent.

[teal summit]

But what if you then point out that Carter's formation of the Dept of Education marked the beginning of the education quality slide. That starts down the path to the dark side. The dark side is powerful and seductive.

[ionic sentinel]

Shinji Higuchi also directed several Eva episodes and was deeply involved with the Rebuilds.

But Shin Godzilla was special. 20% actual existential horror, 80% process, procedure and paperwork. I love it. 🤣

When I have performance data from the new rig I will share it

I am currently busy cleaning my rig and prepping for the transfer

[prisma rivet]

anyone got any good chair recommendations? My current chair doesn't stay raised anymore

and "gaming chair" is super vague on amazon

[weary cipher]

secret labs

[brittle turret]

Gaming chairs usually kinda suck, at least for how much they cost. It depends on your price. For relatively cheap, the "Hyken" you can get from staples is really quite good, it's the chair I've used for a few years.

the only part I don't like about it is the armrests aren't the highest quality, but the chair itself is great and my back doesn't hurt using it or anything

[prisma rivet]

I'm not too pushy on price ngl

I'm trying to go for like most comfort longest life kinda deal idk

[brittle turret]

Yeah it still kinda matters though because chairs range from like, 100 dollars, to thousands of dollars haha, and the quality does generally go up the more you spend

like if budget is not an issue at all, there are plenty of high end herman miller chairs that get universal praise, but they're ridiculously expensive

[prisma rivet]

lmaoo probably sticking to the 100-300 range idk

[tough heron]

Then your best bet is a used one or Costco (if you have Costco). Secret labs last a while but are way more than 300 usually. Or you can wait til closer to black Friday and cyber Monday to see what sales come up

[prisma rivet]

Valid

[robust pendant]

I have a Secret Labs chair because my partner really wanted them, and I can confirm that they're nice but not really that much nicer than regular chairs you'd get at Costco. They might be better if you had specific needs for a high end chair, but I don't find them to be that much better.

[copper hinge]

i had someone ask me if they could have their dog pick out their carpet because their has its home room

[cerulean iris]

i think i need a nice wooden chair with padding

i swear these cheap ones i got have ade my lower back worse

i csnt get comfy in my car seat when i first zit down

[prisma rivet]

I just want a chair that can lean, maybe a foot rest or something cause my desk is against a wall so I can't stretch out comfortably

[cerulean iris]

the reason I went with the one I did was because I need either no arms or arms that gold and these have arms that fold. any chair with arms that stay down are an instant no for me.

[prisma rivet]

yea I hate my chair lmao they got stationary arms

[cerulean iris]

i used to have some old used office chair i got cheap with no arms but it wore out

[teal summit]

Secret Labs is my vote too. No regrets on mine.

[tame holly]

Dripex Ergonomic Office Chair (mesh) + Clear Office Chair Wheels. I got a wide body chair so I can cross my legs in the seat. I am v happy. Fairly cool in summer. Does gather some dust in the base, tho, heads up there. Love the adjustability. Had it about 2 years without issue.

straight facts

[vital kernel]

The world is slowly turning to poop... AI taking all the jobs, rich people and CEO being ruthless, idk how new generations are gonna be able to live their lives

But hey, everyone is okay with this as long it doesn't involve themselves personally...

[prisma rivet]

https://tenor.com/x3V7.gif

[cerulean iris]

it's true... no way I'm having kids and bringing them into this world now.

[teal summit]

To one degree or another every generation has had to come to terms with some existential crisis or another. Most of their thoughts and feelings are lost to the ages though you occasionally see it in art or literature. A good example is the Grapes of Wrath.

[vital kernel]

New generations wont be able to afford a family. For comparison, in the previous century only the father worked and families had like 8 children, all healthy and happy

It's like we are moving again versus that place that started WW2. We are all getting more competitive, but not for riches, competitive to just barely be able to survive... to the point we dont care anymore what happens to others (which is what allowed jews to be tortured and killed en mass: population had struggled too much before and became desensitized)

[teal summit]

You'd likely be right if things stay the same. They won't though. They never do. And there's no guarantee that'll be a better situation than we had for decades. We'll adapt and find a new normal.

[vital kernel]

With the actual situation with China, and Russia especially, i doubt it. I wouldnt be surprised if they start nuking each others out

I guess that would depend upon someone's definition of "slowly". Personally I'd say that it's kicked into high gear with everything going on in the world at the moment with the current wars between countries and potential wars that could quickly spiral into WW3, then add in the looming ethic violence in many countries that could spark civil wars.
Then add in the crippling debt load of most countries, AI and robots replacing jobs faster than people can find new jobs, political corruption, income inequality, CBCDs, social credit scores are being pushed.
Of course there's the cherry on top with stuff like drug resistant MRSA and fungi that's killing people and spreading quickly.
Some are beginning to say Armageddon is approaching I'm NOT religious, I can see why some people will likely panic.😔

https://youtu.be/xbf4BGIBENk?si=BixGyRSltaogu2jl

[edgy forge]

I partly agree. Mainly with the fact that many companies only do the "pump and dump" now because of poor morals and ethics at the top of the companies, AI is definitely in that group. Also I feel as though AI will likely have a long lasting role in technology, frequently with malicious intentions from the greedy rich, criminals and politicians (which are frequently criminals).

AI will steadily get better, it's still in it's infant stage at the moment and could have the potential to do massive damage in the wrong hands once it becomes much better in 10 years and beyond.

Hello, discord peasants. I, Jules Geist, am on a journey through the universe of discord off-topic channels, to let them sprout under my otherworldly intellect.
Like a golden pickaxe, I cut through the crusted mud of unawareness that covers your hidden potential.

And so Jules Geist, master of humbleness, last hope of culture, has once again landed on a distant off-topic channel in the undeveloped rims of discord!
He who brings the quality, stranded in a primitive, possibly hostile landscape!
How will the locals react to his peaceful and humble appearance?

So anyway, ai amiright? I abuse it every day.
And that's a lie.

[robust pendant]

AI has a lot of potential really good uses, but for a lot of the "save money" uses that it's being used for by big companies, it's really bad for. If you look at Arc Raiders, they used machine learning to help the bots learn how to fly/move and that's one of the reasons that's a really cool experience and feels so "real". On the flipside, they used AI voices to fill out their character "callouts" for items and locations, which isn't a great use. They did it a bit more ethically than most other companies doing that sort of thing did, but it still feels icky.

Companies like Sony using it to "reduce QA workforce by 70%" are absolutely laughable and I'm excited to see the fallout of decisions like that.

[prisma rivet]

guantlet is an old series

the n64 one got a slightly upgraded version for PS2 and GC, but for some reason you can save magic items for later on the PS2.

the n64 one also has an arcade cabinet version.

Guantlet Legacy

How's it play? I'm pretty picky lmao

Times this tough call for one thing; Superbeer! https://youtu.be/xQjeGxWyaUY

[edgy forge]

The max fermentation level is around 25% alcohol, I heard a few years ago of rumors of close to 30% alcohol. I started brewing beer and making wine and mead when I was 19, yes the legal drinking age in the USA is 21.

[tame holly]

I live in a place where beer brewing is a huge deal, tons of local craft stuff and that means lots of very punishing beers lol. I've had a few that I straight couldn't finish. Apparently beer exceeding 65% alcohol can be purchased. I had a 30% once and noped out.

[edgy forge]

In the USA 65% alcohol would fall into distilled alcohol category like whiskey, bourbon, vodka and rum. So it's taxed Slightly different and the laws can vary from state to state on who can sell it because it takes a different license for that level of alcohol compared to beer. Nearly every state allows the sale of beer in grocery stores but not hard liquor/distilled spirits, some states allow the sale of wine in grocery stores. Utah and Colorado are a 4% alcohol limit for beer and Vermont has a 16%, North Carolina has a 15%, South Dakota and Georgia both has a 14% alcohol by volume limit for beer. The laws in the USA get kind of crazy and confusing going from 1 state to another.

[tame holly]

Yeah, when I lived in Massachusetts, there were special government-run stores you had to get your liquor from, and there were some days they were mandatorily closed. XD

Hytale might steal me away for a couple weeks. Its looking good

[robust pendant]

That's the beauty of games like Enshrouded, they'll be here when you get back and possibly be even better

[teal summit]

What is Hytale bringing to the table?

Clearly it's really early development. I liked the candid comments from the developer. To me that's a good sign. However, it looks like a skinned Minecraft. That's not necessarily a bad thing if they take the kid gloves off.

[sacred sand]

Oh for sure. Very bare bones right now but I think it's the attitude from the head dev that gives me good vibes about it. Like Keen games, you can tell they genuinely care about the game. Also, built in mod support from the beginning? Amazing. There will eventually be a campaign as well.

[teal summit]

Let's hope so. It'd be nice to have a good game to play with family. (We used to play Minecraft. Mojang has always been lazy though.)

[robust pendant]

It feels a bit like Trove or other minecraft clones where they try and focus a bit more on mechanics and interesting content. Minecraft has always tried to be "just a sandbox" and that's caused them to really limit the types of content they add to the game. Hytale seems to be focusing more on actual content for the game which could be really good.

[teal summit]

I agree with that. But where's the End update? No excuse for that. 😄

[robust pendant]

I'm just glad it sounds like we're finally getting an update to the progression curve? I've always hated that its' just Stone -> Iron -> Diamond

[cerulean iris]

theres a youtuber that visits old dead games with maybe a few people who are way too dedicated to them and theres a lot out there that i kind of wish i could have been a part of.

...... i kind of want to get into a runescape guild and get my max level mining and smithing....

[teal summit]

What are they adding? I haven't played for like a year.

[robust pendant]

I'd have to look at it again for specifics, but I recall reading that they're actually adding some interim tiers of mining tools to smooth out the curve.

[teal summit]

I'm guessing copper is involved.

Don't know if that makes sense though. It's not hard to rush diamond. They'd need to either make those much more difficult to find, or make them difficult to get (dangerous or something). With diamonds being much more in need for other recipes, I'd doubt that they'd reduce the pool that much.

[robust pendant]

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if it was just adding copper to the progression path, which is kinda fine, it would be nice to have something better than stone that you can get relatively quickly.

Obviously I'd love it if they retooled the entire progression of the game, but they aren't gonna do that at this point 😝

[crude pebble]

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch between the objects I want to interact with when there's more than one object nearby? For example: I want to retrieve my items from the tombstone, but there's an object nearby and the interaction is fixed on it.

Thanks.

[edgy forge]

I'd suggest very slowly inch your way towards the tombstone from the blue arrow direction. Once you're in range of collecting the tombstone stuff you should stop moving.
The only other option I can think of is to temporarily delete the alter, collect the tombstone stuff, then put the altar back down. Last I knew stuff stayed for a short time after deleting an altar. It'd be a good idea to make sure nothing has changed in updates since I've played when it comes to deleting altars and stuff left after doing so.

i need a new monitor but.... what if... i bought... TWO monitors? so that they were equal?

im looking at a 25 inch ASUS TUF for 100 buckos. looks good? I like my current asus but my secondary is an element with a duller color.

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-viewable-Monitor-VG259Q3A/dp/B0CVSL2KKW

[normal finch]

Why not 1440p ?

Cheap 32 “ at Wally world $178 LG

[cerulean iris]

1440?

do i need that for enshrouded?

my eye sight really aint that good enough to care for high quality like 4k

[normal finch]

1440p display instead of 1080p don’t have to at all if your gpu can handle it just makes everything pop more , 1440 isn’t 4 k just next step up

[cerulean iris]

okay so I see an asus 27inch in 1440

but i dont know if I have room or even want a 27inch

and that's an extra 80

right now I have an asus 23 and an element 23.5 and I kind of want to have a matching pair now cause the element is duller.

i dont believe this is as good of a deal as it's claiming but, 100 bucks is good.

I'd think you'd want a bigger monitor if your eyesight is not great.

True enough. It's analogous to the people who complain bitterly about the cost of season tickets to a sporting event or how much athletes get paid and yet still pay the prices. If it's really that expensive, stop paying it. They know most people won't go without the biggest and best or deny themselves, so they up prices.

Wow. To this date I've never spent even remotely that much on a system and have always done fine. Must be I don't play games in 4K or whatever the going thing is now, so I'm likely showing my ignorance. 🙂

[misty sable]

modern games tend to be hardware greedy

[ocean echo]

It may also depend on the type of game I play as well. Enshrounded runs marvelously on mine even with the settings all on Quality (save for the fog). I'm sure were I to play a high end online game with large numbers of players, etc, that it would not do so well. My games and gaming tend to be a bit more casual and mellow. When you come from a time that you remember TRS-80 color computers, games like this are downright amazing 😄

I'm pretty in the AI space because work (bleh), and there are more and more people getting concerned that the bubble is going to pop.

The lack of reliability in LLM responses and the way they hallucinate makes them unusable for anything that requires data accuracy, and that means that a lot of the places they've been forced into just... aren't going to work long term

[cerulean iris]

my family has had a bad history when it comes to cats so i just dont.

i also dont want animals wrecking my books when im at work all day.

[prisma rivet]

dogs are so much worse at destroying shit when left alone than cats are lmao

[cerulean iris]

i agree

[brittle turret]

I dunno, depends on the animal I think. I've had some cats that were VERY destructive, scratching any furniture they could get their claws on, peeing on stuff, etc. And my current dog doesn't destroy anything but her toys

[prisma rivet]

which is very true and it also depends on how they get raised

[cerulean iris]

point is. i cant have a pet for a multitude of reasons.

you cant raise a cat.

[prisma rivet]

pfft

that says you just don't know how

my cat is very much trained

[cerulean iris]

cats are very finnicky.

[brittle turret]

Yeah if you get cats as kittens you can usually raise them to be very good, every cat I've ever own has been adopted/a stray so it's kinda playing the pet lottery lol

cats are very stubborn

[prisma rivet]

I've only ever had resuces as cats, and every single one has been super well behaved and super sweet

[cerulean iris]

im sure theres some amount of training. but its not nearly as much as with dogs.

[prisma rivet]

dogs were bred to be mans best friend, cats were never domesticated, they just saw we had food, mimiced some baby cries and brain washed us into loving them as gods (egypt)

however, some cats are just little babies that need to be cradled and loved on daily

my big baby doesn't like if I'm not holding him and petting his belly

[brittle turret]

Yeah speaking from experience (my family has owned a ton of pets and I used to work in vet med), dogs are much easier to train certain behaviors out of once they've been developed. Cats tend to be a lot more independent and their behavior is determined a lot more by their environment, so if they grew up with a really bad environment (like a stray, or a neglected pet), they can develop some destructive behaviors that are really hard to train out of them.

[prisma rivet]

I can't stand dogs if imma be honest here, way too needy and up my butt, and I'm not saying they're bad animals at all

[brittle turret]

oh they're incredibly needy lol, especially compared to cats

it's like having a very happy toddler

[ocean echo]

I can agree with that. We've also been fortunate enough to be able to give rescues homes and have always had cats who were even tempered. I've seen others who basically let the cats do what they wanted and so they did. I don't throw stones at anyone who does or doesn't have a pet of any kind, really. That's their choice entirely.

[ocean echo]

Nor should you try, if you're unable to have one. No one should stand and pass judgement on you for that. You're not talking about raising a child here, you're speaking about an animal.

[brittle turret]

I always called cats the pet equivalent of house plants, they're definitely one of the easiest pets you can have. Feed them, scoop their litter, give them cuddles, and they pretty much take care of themselves after that.

At least if they don't have behavioral issues

[prisma rivet]

you have to play with cats, no matter what you read

they can and will get depressed otherwise

[brittle turret]

If you just have one yeah you have to be a lot more active with them. I've always lived in multi-cat households so they're pretty good at entertaining each other

[prisma rivet]

my moms cat like to shit in the middle of their living room and stare at them and we dunno why he's so mean like this

[brittle turret]

Cause he's a male cat lol, especially if he got neutered later in life or was born a stray

[ocean echo]

Some cats will, yes. Some cats are far more independent and don't need as much attention. As Toast said, it also depends on the number of cats you have. There's no one size fits all rule for pets any more than there is for people.

[prisma rivet]

he was nuetered before we got him

me and my ex when we lived together had like 15 cats in total (all rescues) now there's just me and my boy

[brittle turret]

at once? that sounds exhausting

[prisma rivet]

eh not really, big farm property

[brittle turret]

ahh okay outdoor kitties

[prisma rivet]

we built a very very large cattio for them (like 20 feet in all directions)

didn't want them free roam outdoor

[brittle turret]

If I ever get my own property I'm gonna rescue a million ferrets, but living in apartments I don't want to deal with landlord shenanigans. They hate anything that's not a cat/dog

[prisma rivet]

they hate cats too where I'm at, my cat technically doesn't exist 👀

looking for places to live that are cat friendly is like looking for the cheapest apartment you can find in the sketchiest neighbourhood possible

pnw sucks butt

[ocean echo]

It's the reverse where I am, actually - so many people have dogs that are destructive (or that their owners have let be destructive, to be fair) that usually they give you a harder time if you have a dog, as I understand it.

[brittle turret]

Yeah I have an emotional support letter for my dog so they legally can't touch me lol, but you have to be mentally ill to get one of those

[prisma rivet]

oh boy if only ya'll could see my mind lmao

[brittle turret]

landlords hate both, at least where I am

but yeah they usually hate dogs more because of the borkin

[prisma rivet]

I got autism and severe social anxiety so an emotional support animal is feesible just not worth doing rn

plus forcing my fat ass cat to go out and about leashed isn't something he would be happy with

imma post more pictures of my baby

[brittle turret]

emotional support letters don't require training, but it does require seeing a psychiatrist. It's basically a prescription that says "this person should have an animal"

and it costs a bit of money, for some reason.

[prisma rivet]

cause the American dream is to make as much income as possible while doing as little as you can

then it infected the rest of the world

[robust pendant]

You gotta train cats for this from early on. My girlfriend wants to take our cats on walks (even got a cat stroller at one point) and they HATE it

[prisma rivet]

eh some cats are docile enough to let you, my cat has one of those backpack straddle things for babies, he's to heavy for it to work

[brittle turret]

yeah every cat I've tried to put a harness on acts like they're being tazed and just completely locks up until you take it off

[robust pendant]

lol

Our cats responses to the stroller were:

1. Uncontrollable screaming
2. Tried to literally claw his way out
3. Piteously mewing like he was dying

So we got rid of the stroller and I won't let her try again 😝

[prisma rivet]

my last cat loved going on walks to the park with my mom and I

[ocean echo]

It costs money to keep people from abusing the system. Contrary to popular belief, everything isn't a horrible scam that's cooked up by the USA because we're all a bunch of lazy good for nothings. Good Lord.

[robust pendant]

IDK the people we've seen abuse most systems are also the ones with the most money 🤷‍♀️

[prisma rivet]

I also think anything that has to do with medical shit in america it always goes towards the most profit not the most help

[ocean echo]

It's also because the world is populated with sick humans who would obtain those letters just to get animals and abuse them.

[brittle turret]

I don't really think the money has much of an impact on that tbh, getting the psychiatrist to approve it is the hard part for most people. I think it's just a convinience fee that psychiatrists charge because it's a lot of paperwork.

[ocean echo]

You can think what you like. I work in the medical field and while that may be true in some cases, it's not true in all. Broad brush painting is sloppy, no matter what field, person or group it's applied to.

[robust pendant]

That feels kind of pessimistic, I feel like people who abuse animals wouldn't go through the trouble of making it "paperwork legal"

It's not like you need emotional support paperwork to GET animals

[ocean echo]

In a world where people have been known to adopt children to do so, nothing is out of bounds. It's realistic, not pessimistic by any means.

[brittle turret]

I mean this country is definitely a nightmare if you're medically disabled, speaking from experience. That's not the fault of healthcare workers, though.

[prisma rivet]

no I never blamed the workers

the people in charge

[ocean echo]

Most countries are because no healthcare system is perfect. Socialized medicine is every bit as bad in many respects, and worse than others. Unless you can come up with a perfect system in a perfect world, you're not going to have perfect results.

[brittle turret]

Also yeah emotional support letters don't really help you abuse animals honestly they just help you save money on apartments. If someone was an animal abuser the letter wouldn't really help them do that any more. All it really is is a letter that legally requires apartments and such to not discriminate against you for owning a pet (they're still allowed to kick you out if the pet is destructive)

[brittle turret]

No system is perfect but I've worked for european companies for my entire CM career and they are all mortified by how bad our system is 😅. It could be a lot better.

[prisma rivet]

I think there's plenty of people who could or have come up with a perfect world / life style, and the only thing stopping those ideas from coming true is reality

[ocean echo]

Which is why people are flocking to those countries for all their special medical needs, no doubt.

[prisma rivet]

of almost 8 billion people on earth, good hecking luck getting everyone to cooperate on anything

[brittle turret]

If someone is rich enough to do that, they're not the kind of person that's being hurt by the US healthcare system.

I'm a little shocked that you work in healthcare and don't realize this, everyone I know who works in healthcare here is fed up with how much of a mess it is

It's a nightmare for everyone, including medical staff that have to deal with the insane beurocracy of insurance companies

[ocean echo]

I realize that our system is not perfect. I have for a long time. I don't sit and act as though our country is the only one that's bad and sneer at it as though everyone else is so much better, though. That seems to be in vogue, lately.

[brittle turret]

I mean, lunarfox said they have a medical disability. I think it's understand that they'd feel spiteful about this country given that healthcare is such a big part of their life here, you know.

[prisma rivet]

I have a jacked up shoulder and a bunch of mental health issues that ik if I went in just to be examined I'd be in debt the rest of my life

just for the examination, because insurance is too expensive to be bothered to get on my wages

[ocean echo]

So you're basically angry and doing nothing. Do your wages preclude you from any kind of assistance in medical coverage? Our horrible country does have those too you know. My son, who is also disabled mentally, incidentally, is a recipient of them.

Just so, you know, no one thinks I'm speaking from no experience.

[brittle turret]

I know for me I don't qualify for government coverage, but my insurance costs are also so high that I am really on the border of not being able to afford insurance. That's really common here.

I make enough to afford basic emergency insurance, but most of my free income goes to medical bills

[prisma rivet]

I don't have a severe enough form of autisim to qualify, thanks to my aunt who works in the medical field telling the goverment with offical paperwork that I didn't need it

[ocean echo]

Then that's on your aunt. Not the system. You could be re-evaluated if you're old enough.

[prisma rivet]

seems like you're more hellbent on defending the system than anything 🤔

[brittle turret]

psychiatric evaluations cost thousands of dollars in the US without insurance, especially for autism. I'll be honest for someone who works in the healthcare field you really need to work on your empathy.

[prisma rivet]

the system is the one that let my aunt, who isn't blood related or even in the famly anymore, over my mother who argued and failed

[ocean echo]

I'll be honest too - you're assuming a lot. But fair enough. You two can go back to your sesssion and have a good day. I'll drop out.

[brittle turret]

It's not an assumption, you accused someone who told you they didn't have access to insurance that they're not getting medical coverage because they're "angry and doing nothing." That shows a startling lack of knowledge and empathy for the medical reality that millions of americans are experiencing right now.

[prisma rivet]

it's fine, it's always been my fault lmao

my ex said it a lot too so it's gotta be true 🤷‍♂️

You're still vulnerable to identify theft. It happened to my older sister when her doctors records got hacked and it was a horrible mess that took a few years to deal with for her. It wrecked havoc for her and caused loan problems during that time until it got straightened out.

[prisma rivet]

I understand but I still don't really do anything with my personal info

I also haven't been to a doctor in almost 15 years so I don't think there's anything there they could take

[edgy forge]

Credit rating is something now being used against people that rent and vehicle insurance too. So even if you don't plan on taking loans for anything it still affects you.

[cerulean iris]

credit scores are bullshit

[prisma rivet]

I buy used cars I don't need any fancy new car

I've got a lot of reasons as to why I don't plan to care about my credit I guess

[cerulean iris]

fancy new cars are a scam anyway

[prisma rivet]

I mean, everything is a scam anymore

Pay insurance bills monthly just to have to pay a fee to use it anyways then increase the monthly charge when you have to end up using it at some point

[cerulean iris]

yaaaaaaaaaaaa

[prisma rivet]

Just to have to pay to use it all over again

[cerulean iris]

my insurance is Fing BS

[prisma rivet]

Only reason I even want health insurance is because I need a dentist sooner than later and I really want to figure out if my collarbone is broken or not

[cerulean iris]

oof. 🙁

[prisma rivet]

It happens

I don't worry about it too much lmao

I care more about getting rid of my gross belly

[cerulean iris]

my belly is also gross.....

i gave up on the gym and it got worse. after making no progress for 3 years....

[prisma rivet]

It's hard to exercise when you can't do push ups and your energy reserves are so low taking a half mile walk puts you to sleep

[cerulean iris]

dang

[prisma rivet]

Gyms are rough, you either get judged by everyone around you, or your mind says they are

That's why I plan to just buy equipment for home use

[cerulean iris]

well the one i went too wasnt very busy at least. but it didnt help when i lost my gym buddy.

[prisma rivet]

Oof that's understandable

[cerulean iris]

home equipment is a good investment

ya then i tried paying for a trainer and my attendance got worst and he was useless anyway.

hopefullyu next summer i start biking at least 5 hours a week, might help...

[prisma rivet]

I'm too depressed to go anywhere public and embarrass myself more than I do already

I try to take walks at a local park, good two mile walk in total

[cerulean iris]

anything is better than nothing

[prisma rivet]

Been to damn cold x.x my thickest coat does jack all against this wind

[cerulean iris]

understandable.

im not going for walks or biking in winter.

[prisma rivet]

At least it isn't snow where I'm at

Rain is tolerable

Any big holiday plans?

[cerulean iris]

me? not much. visiting my grandma at christmas time, that's it.

no interest in seeing any other family.

[prisma rivet]

Oof damn

Wish I could stay home lmao being forced to participate in secret Santa

[cerulean iris]

noooo

[prisma rivet]

I got Atomic heart for my target

[cerulean iris]

i think my mom wants to see me for christmas but. :S
My relationship with her is complicated, dont hate her as much as brother or step dad. but. ya. :S it's a long story.

im just going to enjoy the extra days off of work.

[prisma rivet]

Nah I get you, I hate like everyone in my family

[prisma rivet]

I'd work over going to family

[cerulean iris]

ya like I dont hate my mom but she agravates me at times.

[prisma rivet]

My fam likes to call me by my extremely racist temper tantrum throwing nephews name on "accident"

[cerulean iris]

ewwwwwww

[prisma rivet]

It's something for sure lmao

First time seeing me in six years my grandma asked me to go drain her flooded basement for her

[cerulean iris]

woooooooooow

[prisma rivet]

I went to the back, smoked a fatty then went home lmao

[cerulean iris]

nice

[prisma rivet]

I talk a lot oof

[cerulean iris]

same XD

[prisma rivet]

Nah you're good lmao

I ramble about stupid shit in my life when I get awkward idk

[cerulean iris]

you're fine. 🙂

im just trying to thin out my magic bulk and am dragging my feet on getting it done cause it sucks to do

[edgy forge]

If there's a gap between your coat and skin or other clothing layers that significantly reduces the effectiveness of your heavy coat.

[prisma rivet]

The coat at my work is amazing I just wish I could take it, it's a coat for everyone to use on their shift 😔

[edgy forge]

My dad gave me some really nice coats over the years since he retired from working as an electrical supervisor for the state. My brother gave me some coats too, the Carharts aren't snug fitting so there's a gap and not as warm. I'll usually wear a heavy hooded sweatshirt or heavy sweater under to help bulk up and fill the air gap on really cold weather.

[cerulean iris]

when i moved back home i was still working retail and I saw they had Refridgewear jackets for the freezer so i bought one and it was too warm for the wintertime here. XD

sadly the nice soft caller got a hole in it and when i sent it back in for a repair they replaced it with a rougher material. but i havent worn it in forever.

[prisma rivet]

Bruuuh I just wanna go home

I'm so hungry it be crazy lmao

[edgy forge]

Update! My daughter discovered KISS!

[tame holly]

You have to PROMISE me to not let her learn that Gene Simmons was an actor, okay? Jokes aside, glad she's rocking 🤘

[vagrant sail]

I didn't know he was an actor, and now I'm worried about that IMDB search. 🤣 BUT YES!! We're sooooo excited about this development!! From Hex Girls to KISS! Can't wait to see what she'll discover next! 🥰

[tame holly]

Tim Heidecker's girl Millie, now 13 I think, just "discovered" The Smashing Pumpkins. Oh man does she have a lot of drama and history to learn with that one...for as rotten a gourd as he turned into, at least Billy Corgan never did acting. 😆

[deep thistle]

some 50-55m sketches i did today c:

[tame holly]

Rad as hell, love the soft lighting in your work.

[cerulean iris]

did he not actually sing?

[tame holly]

He played at least 2 very offensive to women/transfolx roles that I can think of off the top of my head lol. In those and other roles he stuck out his tongue a lot. He gyrated. It was pain. XD

[cerulean iris]

i see.

[misty sable]

wait till she discovers guns and roses lol

[deep thistle]

tys :3

[cerulean iris]

then she might want to go down to paradise city!

[azure temple]

I started watching Paradise last night. I'd rather be in a different city. 🤣

[normal finch]

Anyone have PC speakers suggestions? Would love some with RGB Lighting.

[prisma rivet]

I got my speakers from redragon, they're RGB and really good sound

[prisma rivet]

This is what I bought for my setup
