maybe one of those controllers that turns the switch into a pro controller is worth it >>960202 that's great
Anno
I like the silent jogging mode in switch fit but then you have aaa handful of excerise that are as loud if not louder than jogging on the spot you don't have to use those but you do have toggle it a bit
>>960238 ohh it's definitely a shit creativity test i think it's just a peculiar vocab test i kinda understood how to game it just getting the description i just picked the most obscure words that i imagined might still be in the system's lexicon that it pulls from it was like strata, circumnavigate, house, wheelbarrow, retardation, scythe, eagle, apple, scoliosis apricot, not apple i course a couple simple words so they wouldn't all be large words and i messed up with wheelbarrow because it's too close to scythe categorically otherwise it would've been over 100
but yeah idk how you could just test creativity that takes a lot more than a quick vocab test
Anno
I think one of the strengths of the test is it isn't necessarily a vocab test There's nothing stopping you from using common and simple words as long as you understand their conceptual difference from each other Of course having a broad lexicon helps since you have a bigger pool to fish from, but that isn't a requirement And in that case, it kind of expresses the elements of what makes good creativity, or at least literary creativity Creativity I think can be expressed as a relation of your knowledge and experience, and the understanding of how to apply it. People aren't just born creative; creativity is a skill you train. If you're widely read, you'll have a diverse collection of words you've picked up, but just knowing those words doesn't mean you understand their nuance enough to understand their conceptual similarities. And even if you're narrowly read, you might have enough of an understanding of the words you know to know how different they are. Though this is just one facet of creativity and knowing the similarities between words is just as useful tool for creativity than knowing their differences, perhaps even more so. But then again, knowing how words are similar helps you in knowing it's better to seek further afar for conceptually different words, so it ends up looping back into itself in the end anyway.
I think it's a
Anno
neat little test and while I'm not certain what it demonstrates is some quantifiable grade of creativity, I think it does help demonstrate your literary ability to understand concepts and abstract connections, which are generally very useful tools for the creative process.

One of my coworkers is kinda ranting some of those Covid misinformation "I'm just asking questions" kinds of things That are rather less about things being wrong and more him fundamentally misunderstanding some basic things about flu illness Like "there are people who have gotten vaccinated, but then caught Covid" And I'm thinking, no shit Sherlock, that's just how vaccines work. They're not 100% effective

>>960518 I like the pic but in lore male viera are wild savages that kill literally anything that tries to get close to the village it's funny that they're getting pushed into this cute bunny boi archetype when every time they're mentioned characters are like "oh yeah don't fuck with them they'll kill you before you even know where they are"

I I'm making eggrolls for my friends at a potluck for this saturday, trying to copy my mom's eggrolls that they've all had before and really liked Hopefully I can emulate even a modicum of her success
Kang is a time traveling interdimensional conqueror in the comics. He's Kang the Conqueror. He's suuuuuper evil. He has a lot of alternative versions that try to stop him. Like, different versions of himself that become heroes throughout the marvel universe. He's going to be the big bad in the next Antman movie. He's probably the smartest guy in all of marvel? Smarter than the big three geniuses. In comics he's a descendent of Mr. Fantastic but idk if they'll keep that for MCU.
>>960756 No, Rick wishes he was Kang. Kang is like, the guy. If Kang had been around when Thanos came around, Thanos probably wouldn't have managed to snap the first time.
>>960759 Thanos wouldn't have even gotten the stones probably. Kang would have figured out what was happening and just straight up stopped it. Kang is just a mortal, but he's basically a god despite having literally no powers.
S C
>>960755 Like he wouldn't get the stones, or it wouldn't have worked?
S C
How's he so good at scheming? Is it just an abnormally wrinkly brain? An AI or some other tech? Faux future sight like Azymondiaz?
He's just Smart. So when he gets time travel tech he basically becomes a god who is able to scheme over billions of years. In some incarnations he found time travel stuff and in others he invented it himself. It sounds like in the MCU he invents it himself.
I dont think he's gonna be in Multiverse of Madness so unless they decide to add him into more series or Loki S2 starts before AntMan then we might not see him until 2023.
S C
I mean there's no way they're gonna have AntMan, on his own, whoop this guy ONE of him literally grabbed hold of the whole fucking literal timeline of the universe and controlled it like a video game, we can't be expected to believe AntMan can do a fucking thing against like, 5 of him
Yeah, it could probably be any Nathaniel Richards that becomes Kang. HWR is more like the Immortus version of him. Immortus gets depression and decides to dedicate his life to ending conflict in exchange for immortality.
It's just a roll of the dice every time one of these assholes loses control of the timeline, cause we end up with either a fucking lunatic genocidal maniac, or a lunatic genocidal maniac who's doing it for ostensibly good reasons
I actually do kinda love that aspect of the character as introduced though He's not **immortal** But he is immortal Like, he can be killed, but like a mushroom, not in a way that matters, because the moment he dies, the timeline fucks up again, and the variants of him in the past duke it out, and one wins, takes control, and shows up again
That's a real cool concept for a character
S C
well, in the future for us, but in the past for him

I was really pleased with it. And the actor was perfect for it.
I watched it for a while, but at some point I stopped watching and I can't remember when But what I did watch was real good
Is it the same guy who played the main guy in that?
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Yeah, John Major plays HWR and the MC of LC.
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
actually when you think about it antman was the reason the gang was able to stop thanos so it would be hilarious if he was the reason they were able to defeat kang
Well, only because he's hogging the shrinking power Which surely Kang would have appropriated for himself
S C
Actually how come he's not suped up? You've got time travel and a brain so powerful it uses a nuclear reactor just to keep it running, but you didn't steal some Captain America juice for yourself from 1938?
Well, it's not like he needs to. He can do everything just fine using technology. I mean, Kang generally has power armor so fucking good that its not like anyone could get him anyway.
S C
Well sure But I mean, there's a lot of supes oiut there who are effectively unable to die, just in general, too Like swap places with Bruce Banner, what are you fucking doing?
S C
Depending on the iteration, after all, the hulk literally can not actually die
He just doesn't need to! Besides, there's no way to know that he'll get the favored results just because he does what someone else did to get powers. I'm sure tons of people would die if a radioactive spider bit them. Peter just had the right genetics and other factors to make it work. It's a big risk.
Fair point, I guess And I guess if he's wearing a space marine suit most of the time anyway, then being the Hulk would be an unnecessary failsafe to begin with
That and I'd be cokcy too if I was him, conquering the universe after killing off literally an infinite amount of myself all capable of the same thing, and nobody else seems to be trying except other mes
In his original incarnation, Kang gets tired of fighting and is depressed after failing to save his son a few times in various timelines. So the Time Keepers give him immortality in exchange for him preserving timelines instead of conquering them. 2depressed2conquer
In the end, he's super smart but he's still human. So his flaws can come out sometimes.
S C
Does he do EVE online shit where if he does somehow die, he's got a clone with his memories that kicks into action?

My adhd rediagnosis session thing is coming up soon, in other news Had a preliminary like, phone question session with someone from the place today
I don't think it matters anymore cause I think disability is off the table, but I'm still gonna go through with it anyway But I am pretty worried about the whole thing
Dutchfriend keeps telling me i should look into if I've got uh CPTSD? I think that's what he said. We're cool again, so we sometimes talk again now, like on voice and stuff
CPTSD isn't a Real Diagnosis despite how often it's talked about, though.
S C
The thing is I don't fucking know, but the whole period of time when my dad was together with that cunt when I was little... probably didn't positively impact my mental health
I can't remember clear details from that far back though, but when he visited here a few years back, he, my dad and I got pretty drunk, and I got particularly drunk cause I didn't and still don't know when to stop, and I like, completely broke down crying and shit about her I don't remember it too well but he does cause he wasn't nearly as fucked up
I mean there's more than just that, obviously I get noticeably heated whenever I talk about what I do remember, or I just refuse outright cause I feel like I'm not really supposed to even have a problem with some of the stuff I remember
But I also don't trust my memory too well
It's just a lot
I think a lot of my confidence issues at least are supported by her having been in ky life, cause some of the stuff she told me as a kid, I catch myself telling myself now
S C
I haven't really bothered looking too much into it though, beyond chats with him, cause I don't see a real use case Like what'd I even do with that information, you know?
It doesn't help to just know what's wrong with you, not really You just have to cope with the symptoms at the end of the day
S C
There's also stuff like just how habitual and instinctive it is for me to lie, and lie, and lie, every time it seems like telling the truth could have some negative consequence, and every lie I just dig myself furter down
I'm not even sure who I've told what lies about what anymore

and one for hangover day, since i don't really sleep on those
huh there's a guy driving in the back paddock probably hunting the area here is super flat and everybody here has insanely bright lights so you can see them for miles
My boss was telling me he went through a list of "tik tok" slang with some clients the other day and everyone had fun, and that he was surprised by some of the slang. I asked him what his favorite slang was and his eyes got kind of shifty so I asked "which words do you plan on integrating into your vernacular" and he was like "that's a better question. i think i'm gonna start saying 'throwing shade' i'd never heard that before."
It made me feel really young.

Anno
Fluctuates with the summer, and how far north you go Here I think sunset is around 21:15 right now I'd like to live a bit further north in part because I'd love to get even longer summer days Although it would make winter nights even longer
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Damn. At parts of the year, the sun goes down at like 1800 here!
Anno
Yeah, the closer you get to the equator, the more standardized the nights get In the heart of winter, the sun sets as early as like 17:00 here, and it only gets worse the further north you go So when you take the midpoint between the earliest and latest times, you get probably about the time the sun would set at the equator year-round
