i'm reading a book by a zen master named Reb Anderson
he talks about he found a corpse in a park and there was a gun there and then he just came and visited the corpse for a week?????????? and meditated with it?????? and took the gun home?????????????
>In a controversial incident, while jogging in Golden Gate Park in 1983, Anderson found the corpse of a man with a bullet wound to the head and a revolver nearby. Anderson returned to the body over a period of several days to meditate over the corpse, on one visit taking the revolver.[7] In 1987, Anderson was mugged one block away from the San Francisco Zen Center. He retrieved the unloaded revolver and chased the perpetrator to a nearby tenement, where both were quickly arrested.[7]
this dude is fucking nuts lol

I wouldn't know, it never watched the show or kept track of its actors Or even knew its actors. But I figure they'll bring in sitcom actors because it's pretty good meta comedy for a show like Wandavision.

You swallow the pills and then hold up your hand as she tries to give you a bottle of water. "I'll be okay, I just need a moment." "Understandable, you had a rather large hole blown through your chest. It was only thanks to my quick thinking, first aid skills and access to medicine that you are alive at all!" She beams with pride. "I was blown up?" "Yes, when you were shot you were also hit by a rocket. It caught you mid-air and blew off part of your leg. It seems your body armor took the brunt of the damage but your chest was scorched and it blew three of your ribs off. You are very lucky indeed."

I think she lays it on a bit for other stuff tho, to fit her character

Nah I don't think she's really laying anything on. I'm pretty sure she's just a huge dork.

She was still doing configuration for Steam and CS:GO at the start of the stream. Might not have it set up for her new account. And doesn't really care because she's probably not gonna go pro with her Vtuber account.
Or she just doesn't. I have seven or eight years of DotA 2 experience now and I haven't even changed all my basic keybinds to stuff that's more comfortable.

someone put a sub sandwich on my desk today while i was in a meeting and wrote on it "someone loves you" and "shhh I wanna feed my man!!" And I don't know who it is from!!! The only person who occasionally calls me their man was in that meeting with me and couldn't have put it there!!
Anno
Maybe they wrote it and gave it to someone else in your clinic to drop off in your office.
I'm the /// Yeah, maybe. But why? And nobody has said anything about it to me... It's suspicious!
I thought I knew who it could have been but they're not here today. Aah, it's so suspicious. I want to know who did it. Why would they be secretive about it!!!
i also looked dumb as hell at the fabric store today i know nothing about fabrics so i walked around hoping i could figure it out but i couldnt so i went up to this young lady and said "hey, i know absolutely nothing about sewing. can you help me find these fabrics" and she directed me over to the fabrics and told me how to get it cut to size so i went over and got the polycotton blend in white and black but one was knit and i was like "oh it just needs to be polycotton blend this should be fine" the lady cutting it wanted to know what i was making so i showed her a picture of a rakusu and she was like "that aint knit honey" i'm just like "i don't know what knit means" and i ended up just getting the white because they only had black knit i still don't know what that means but apparently it makes the fabric stretchy?
I actually like shelled peas quite a bit. But I guess I don't really eat them much.

And I don't really make side dishes for myself.

The VR guy at work got some new mindfulness VR headset prototype to test and he asked me to try it out. It was pretty interesting. Totally self contained, but you can only run the mindfulness protocols on it. Some of it was pretty good, although not something I think I would ever use. Definite benefits for clients potentially, though.
even taking the og one Kizuna Ai you can very clearly see when she and her team stopped being an independent group and got affilited with some production staff I don't remember which tho
btw on a random game design note as doom16 uses same hotkey for "weapon wheel" and quick swap there is a very visible lag when using the button to hot swap as the game waits a while to see "was it a quick press or is it held down" holding it down opens the wheel, just tapping it hotswaps
bad game design imo and considering the game has a permadeath mod, well...

google maps reviews strikes again ice rink >Good rink but this place does not have EV + Tesla charging stations
my dah been grapplin with a rat in our attic them razor teeth plug a hole doesn't do nothin' traps avoided he deployed bear mace, still nothin we should put one of our three (3) cats up there but even then i have doubts
The sober housing at work is such a fucking mess. I've spent several hours every day this week wracking my brain about how I'm going to fix this. We're struggling to get accredited for our sober house because our accreditation case manager is a former employee of our clinical director who hates him. And we don't even have one of the houses fully manned because nobody wants to live at a sober house and basically work in their free time.
I can politics through the first part once I start working on that, but the second one is where it gets really tricky. Because two of our houses actually do have people living in those houses full time and doing the house manager position.
So to get people to work at this empty house, either I can just wait months and months to find someone insane enough to want to do that, or I can find a way to use techs instead of a live-in manager. If we use techs, that frees up a bed in the house, which nets us an extra $600 per month. I can also find a way for us to charge insurance for activities the techs do with the clients in the housing, so we can get paid for that. Doing that, we might be able to comp the costs of getting the techs. But if I switch us to that system, then the two existing live-in managers are shit out of luck and will basically have to go find housing on their own, which will fuck them over in the short-term, and they're my friends and also valuable employees who do really important jobs outside of house management jobs.
Every solution I've managed to find has a massive downside because everything is so fucked up right now. I think I'm getting closer, though. If I can find a way to make this work, it'll be big.
maybe i'll get this accrediting asshole fired so we dont have to deal with him fucking us over because of some grudge against our clinical director i already found some nasty facebook posts he made 10 years ago
>>877164 he's the kind of person i hate the most just 100% bureaucrat down to his bones voice like the teacher in ferris bueller and he's dedicated to preventing us from being able to help people through sober housing so i do think he's an asshole and my first instinct is to absolutely destroy him
but i'm taking the bodhisattva vows soon and one of those vows is to not cause suffering maliciously and since i'm making a choice to take these vows i feel like i might as well try to follow them so i think i should avoid fuckin him up for now at least

>>877204 and then they beheaded a fuckton of their people for no good reason and had an emperor take over followed by restoration of the monarchy and then when the republic came back, they elected the nephew of the last emperor as their new emperor yeah
well going back to the start there is nothing wrong with kicking outa guy who is harmful to the overall organisation or in this case the running of the soberhouses but the important part is the method and reasons so if the guy is hampering the healing of people, you look for some way to use this to get them out and not another reason and use that to get rid of them
this would be the same as arresting a guy you think did X, but you can't prove it, but you want them behind the bars anyhow, so you get them for Y, with Y not necessarily a reason to get behind bars anyhow
