Be busier. Play different games. Friendships are like plants, most require regular upkeep or they will fade away naturally. You aren't being mean if you let them fade.

Blade has been shelved for a while. That's why I was wondering why you thought there was an issue.

@Daidraco is still right, though. Online buddies are fine and all, but they are not a valid substitute for RL friends. Even as an asocial autistic weirdo, I have made the effort to make some RL friends.

I have had a couple MRIs over the years. I was very glad to have my meditation. I just mostly went to sleep while they were doing their thing. I knew it was going to be uncomfortably tight.

Fennin Ro - We knew drama.

It's always a crapshoot, but we are all old enough to know that. Dandadan is probably guaranteed to run through the entire manga at this point. It is popular everywhere. Not sure what ratings Clevatess is getting, but the manga has 5 years and 10 tankobon to get through and it is still ongoing...

The salami swatter.

Yup. That's why I keep suggesting meditation. That is one of the direct results you will get once you get the hang of emptying your mind/self. That state allows you to see all your thoughts, feelings, anxieties, etc and track them back to their source. You can channel them to other things or...

If you have to go through vpns and use crypto that is going to kill most of their user base. The majority of people aren't tech savvy enough to get into all of that. Sad as it is, millennials and gen z/a are as bad or worse than boomers when it comes to tech fluency. Anything more complicated...

Apparently Clevatess ED is by Ellie Goulding. That's kind of an odd but neat little detail.

It's not like Disney has any issues putting stars in different franchises.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for a worthy Blade movie, but what in the name of fuck does that have to do with her being in a Star Wars movie?

Dubai Disney confirmed.

It's a federal holiday weekend. All his bucks are busy wilding out with their families around the bbq. We are stuck with him until Tuesday.

Tyen and Trexxy could fill Alex's shoes better than the literal DEI dumpster fire that Activision shoveled into them.

You're a handful of autists and 12 years away from having a unity asset bonanza of a game!

Ah. Well, China is a third world shithole. Activision has tried to play ball there in the past, so no idea. Getting a legal precedent there and getting ignored would make getting a court order to track down users through the ISPs easier. I have never worked for M$FT, and I don't care how any of...

It might be. It might not be. They might be aiming for precedent. They may simply want to make an example out of whoever to send a warning. Filing a lawsuit is probably the cheapest first shot since they have armies of lawyers on retainer for that purpose.

M$FT is a multinational juggernaut. They are local in every first world country and have legions of purchased government critters.

That would end poorly. M$FT is one of the few companies that would think nothing of the costs involved with suing the end users if that happened. Though it would be simpler to go after the ISPs to get them to add the emu server IPs to their global blacklists. ISPs will bend over backwards to...

Ideas, yes, but not IP. Orc Jesus only has one father.

It's like Highlander, except the prize for winning is to 41% yourself as the last one.

Even the most prolific writers can hit a block that completely kills their series. GRRM, Jordan, Butcher, etc. I hope he has the tracks laid to the end, but the pace he has been cruising on so far seems untenable otherwise.

Bill Gates gun git you and shove mRNA up your butthole.

Good for Blizz. Probably not good for the customer, but this kind of stuff needs to be licensed or shut down for the long term health of the game. Also, fuck Blizz. They can die in a fire for what they've done to this game since Legion. The DEI squad makes everything shit. Purge them and beg...

Grief is a process. Your life is changing, and you aren't in control of a lot of it. That's a bitter pill that everyone has to swallow eventually. It hurts, and it will leave scars, and the only way to get through it is to get through it. Give your friends and family a little slack. They can't...

It is one of the things I will 100% be checking out early if I start getting it.

It will probably be 12 or 15 when the NPCs merge in. I think 12, because that's as far as anyone has gotten before. The corps have no clue what is actually going on beyond that point, and probably haven't bothered putting any money or effort into it.

The personality types are descriptors and common behaviors/thoughts, not about an individual's unique personality. Not sure how accurate they would be for 8, but they are quite useful as an adult.

Have you given him any personality type tests, or done some for him? Just curious, because a lot of autists are INTJ/INTP which can help you think of ways to help him work on ways to combat some of the things that cause communication barriers with others.

What pet revamp? Are MAG even more solo powaa?

I don't think there will ever be any danger of that.

Dandadan bringing the chaos. Ayase's grandma is great. "Nice weenie!"

If it's feels based bullshit, I agree. In those cases it's just a way to cover their asses for when they fire you. They want to avoid paying out that unemployment insurance money and have shielding for if you sue them for wrongful dismissal.

Most people don't wear their work uniform at home. Just saying.

Slap him on those fused vertebrae and ask him how much fun he has trying to stretch these days.

They have a place if your role has specific stats and duties that can be objectively observed and corrected. In the call center period of my life I was on a PIP once or twice. Attendance a few times, which I corrected and the PIP went away. Still in telecomm 25 years later.
