i really hate that stupid fucking paper i could and should have had it but people look down on me because i dont and they do im so sick of it it makes me nauseous
ive done more research and written more than most grad students out there but the fact they had more money to spend gives them social right to spit on me and laugh about it i hate this system so much

i don't like how these kinda of exo suits are always like "hikers can use them!!" why are you hiking if you're using robots to make it easier
these kinds of things are great for people with disabilities and physical limitations but people who dont need them using them will just make those people less healthy and less prepared for real life
i can do okay without them, but it's just the change that im worried about ive been on them solid for a year now really consistently and gotten used to that mode im in tune with my stuff removing that is really going to mess me up
yep! the mahjong itself is really solid as a platform it's a lot more engaging than tenhou, with some basic emotes for communication and just a much prettier layout
the mahjong itself is the grind, so any items and characters and everything else are just a nice bonus since you're havin fun playing everyone's favorite game anyway i havent rolled any of the chance characters yet but ive got the ones which you get as rewards
mind you, im only using boobie lady because she's got the highest bond with me right now so i get more progress towards chests with her for each match then i can use those chests to bond my moe witch

WHAT IS IT WITH COMPANIES THAT HAVE MONEY INVOLVED WITH THEM HAVING SO BAD PASSWORD OPTIONS WHAT IS WITH THESE 16/20 MAX LIMITS WHAT IS WITH NOT ALLOWING ANYTHING BEYOND A-Z 0-9 FUCKING THAT IS SOMETHING A DAMN BITCOIN MINER COULD CRACK IN A DAY

because getting angry is unproductive i mean i can see being like "damn this is fucking dumb as shit" because it is but getting angry and dwelling on it just makes it worse doesn't it
I am not dwelling on it anymore nor am I angry about it beyond that moment where I notice i have to make up a password thati sn't up to my standards, which is "needs a supercomputer to calculate untill heat death of the universe to crack"

Anno

I think the most annoying one is paypal they have 20 characters, but still very limited character options and they are essnetially a banking service...
I don't even get it why limit the password characters in this day and age?
huh, the free running/climbing is much more responsive in this than in ac4
Anno
It's responsive because it's limited. Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag, and Unity are in a weird point in the franchise's life where they were trying to figure out how to best open the free-running up to being able to climb anything without making the three-dimensional movement hard to execute on a controller/mouse+keyboard. Where as in ACII and earlier the game is very clear when you're climbing something you can't, and equally very fluid when you're running on things you can. It was only really once they made Syndicate that they found a nice way of having you free to run and climb anything and not want to throw your controller out the window.
>>734669 Nope, you can literally hang in one spot indefinitely, providing no angry enemy decides to start throwing stones at you. In the earlier AC games climbing was kind of a mini-puzzle mechanic in the games; you had to look where climbable features were on the wall and you couldn't just hold up on the controller to scale walls much larger than your character. In the later games they made it so you could scale almost anything that wasn't obviously too smooth to get a handhold on but they'd also shifted towards an emphasis on free-movement and being able to maneuver fast and fluidly through an environment, which is probably why they didn't incoroprate -incorporate a stamina bar mechanic.
Also maybe that would make their game too HARD for the assumed audience for a AAA studio game.
good heaven's look at the time >>734668 yeah and it just ended up being wonky as fuck
!C0.PerkELE
also there is a slight puzzle element in the more impressive high points compared to say black flag, where every single thing I climbed was just "hold up, scoot once to one side, you are here"
ζ
>>734671 for turnip cakes or maybe a casserole i have four decent sized turnips i havent decided how to use them yet also russets, eggplant, various fruits, and onions i wanted to get tomatos and more stuff but there's not much storage space for produce in this shitty kitchen so i have to keep it tame
i wish i had some mason jars though to pickle some turnips, and some eggs
everything is more expensive at kroger unless you have a kroger card, which i dont i was gonna go up to the customer service center and get one but they were so busy and my words dont work bolthouse farms salad dressings are buy one get one free with a card i really wanted them too, and some salads but the idea of paying two extra dollars without the card triggers me even though it's not that much of a difference in expense
so no salads sadly but turnips and potatos aplenty i should get some kind of hearty ale to cook the eggplant and onions in for a little pot roast
Anno
I haven't heard of mixing ale and eggplant before. Even if you're cooking off the alcohol I mean that's a taste crossover that's pretty foreign to me. 'Course I don't have a lot of experience with eggplant in general.
well, you know, like a pot roast you're gonna have water in a pot roast with broth and stuff if you're slow-cooking a pot roast for 3 or 4 hours to make it nice and tender and flavorful, you're gonna be evaporating some of that water out every 30 minutes or so you just go add a little bit of fluid to it and ladel it over the meat and such a bit usually you'll have some oil in there too
i like to just slowly replace the water with ale as the process goes on to impart a little bit of heartiness into the flavor eggplants and potatoes are kind of flavor sponges so they benefit a lot from stuff like that
check out these Sweet Sapphire grapes i picked some up at the store they're amazing
Anno
How's the flavour? Are they more on the tart side or sweet? I mean I get the name has sweet in them but I've found naming sense with fruits isn't always to be trusted.
they're really sweet the good kind of sweet. i dont really like sweet generally but this is the good kind of sweet they're seedless, which normally i like those giant concord grapes with the seeds in them personally
i really do NOT like generic grapes though. they're kind of disappointing whatever breed that is that's just the main generic grape, you know the white ones are ok but ultimately they're unsatisfying after eating them imo
these are a real treat they were 1.80 a pound or something i think. i got two pounds but i should gotten more
i got some things called pluots too im guessing the name is a portmanteau of plum and apricot and it's a crossbreed i haven't tried them yet but they look really good! i love plums
Anno
When it comes to pit fruits I'm definitely more of a peach/nectarine person. Particularly peaches; this time of year peaches are at their best 'round here and it's so nice to get a soft, juicy, sweet peach.
i got peaches and nectarines too! im trying the pluots out now, theyve got more the consistency of apricots but they're nice and sweet
plums by far have the best flavor i think, but they're kind of a mushy mess the flesh is soft and it's so juicy that it just drips everywhere and having fruit fluids on my hands is an absolute dread for me because it gets sticky obviously i wash my hands but still
these make it nice where you can slice em up and the flesh is more like a peach or apricot
i also got a couple grapefruits ive been craving a nice grapefruit breakfast for weeks and finally got some!
Anno
Get Kirara to send you a whole buncha grapefruits they practically grow on trees down there.
they're like 80 cents each! or maybe it was a dollar and change but still it's super cheap i just needed a ride to the store i got sooo much produce for not very much cash
if i lived by a farmer's market or just had my own vehicle, i could be saving so much money and eating so much better get hungry for a snack during work? just grab a cucumber and sprinkle it with some salt and rub the two halves together dip some cucumbers or carrot sticks in poppy seed dressing and that's a nice refreshing snack takes like 20 seconds to prep
idk why people are so stubborn to eat junk food it's not even easier at all!
Have you ever seen a photo of those goats that are some how standing quite comfortably on a near-vertical wall or cliff face? It's really fascinating to see. A lot of mountain goats seem to almost compulsively climb steep surfaces.

I don't really understand how normies put importance on some things. A bunch of people in my program in the same year as me are all talking about how yesterday was "the last first day of formal schooling" for them. I guess that's true, but who even thinks of that? Why is it so significant to them? I just don't get it.

No, you don't get it. They aren't there right now. They're going to show up on the same dates Ton and Pan are going to. So I can't host them there.

>>735010 I like using canola oil when I fry potatoes in a skillet. I've found it's good at getting the potatoes crispy without soaking them too much.
>>735011 It's got some weird bits but all in all I think it's a pretty solid park. In more recent years they've been pushing the intensity of their new coasters up and up too. I think for a time they held records for highest coaster drop in the world with either the Behemoth or the Leviathan. But it's been quite a few years since I've last been, I don't really know the state of the park these days.
>>735016 yeah, canola is great for higher heat stuff i use coconut oil for most stuff because it just tends to be what i have on hand it's pretty versatile
I had a good day, though. A busy day, but a good one. My mindfulness group was only one person today, so it ended up being pretty intimate which was nice. I taught someone how to meditate and went through everything with them, watched how they did and gave feedback, talked about her struggles with it and everything. She watched me meditate for a little bit. It was really comfy. At the end, she started noticing things like the sounds of cicadas or the cars in the distance or the AC turning on. It was nice.
I had to win four straight hands to get my score! Had a hand in tempai too and could have gotten a fifth hand straight but another player got a Ron off of the one that ended up in last place.
it really agitates me when im in like 2nd or 3rd place and im executing a plan to make an upset for 1st so im building my hand and specifically targeting the player in 1st on the last south rounds
and then the guy who's in last place with like a 15000 point gap riichis with no other yaku just for 1000 points and ends the game why you're still in last, you didnt even try
PANrela
cedar point is nice, i want to go again some time for longer
ζ
what was the best part of the trip
Anno
Cedar Poi
Anno
>>735048 On the occasion I've done stuff like that I try to use the emotes to make it very clear I'm doing it intentionally as a sort of "There's no way I can get out of fourth/third with this hand so I'm ending this on my own terms." Though with the limited expressibility of emotes that probably gets lost in transmission hah hah. Either way it is some times useful just so you can get a reset on what was probably a tough game. A 15,000 point gap between fourth and third is kind of on the edge of what I'd consider hopeless if it really feels like my hand's not coming together. Even if I can climb into third I'll still be on the paying side of the win split after the game ends.
ζ
getting some points is still good to minimize your losses but 1,000 is just so frustratingly pointless
PANrela
>>735050 coasters and stuff are fun id have liked to do the water park too, but time constraints and what not

Anno
I'm always very relaxed on the ascent to the top of a coaster or ride. Just like to sit back and enjoy the view. Once I'm dropping though I definitely feel terror though.
ζ
i dont feel any terror what i do feel is the rattling and crunching of my bones as the coaster is tossed about
Anno
I'm not good with falling. Even having to fall my body's height is enough to get me a little panicky.

Well unfortunately apparently the talks are at a stall but not absolutely shut down. Sony'll be in a problematic situation too, Holland is a pretty universally-adored actor in the MCU fanbase.
Kirara π
yeah, it wont be stalled for long marvel probably let this out because doing so would put pressure on sony what they should really do is keep peter parker and let sony do a miles morales movie in the same universe as venom
>When contacted by io9, a Sony representative said itβs their belief this dispute is simply over a producer credit and negotiations are ongoing. They further clarified that Feige has contributed to other Spider-centric movies that he did not receive a producer credit on. hmm
Anno
It kind of feels like smoke and mirrors from Sony. >No negotiations are ongoing you have the wrong idea about the dispute If the dispute isn't about what was originally cited as the reason, then where did that reason come from?
Kirara π
perhaps a misunderstanding or a drive to get clicks who knows
Anno
Maybe Marvel leaked it in order to rouse the fan armies and pressure Sony into a situation where not acceding to Disney's terms is economical suicide.
I missed doing this both on accident but doing it on purpose once you are in full gear, it looks damn kino to kill a bunch of people and then flourish your cape with the "gentle push"
