Crying enough to interrupt my breathing with the quivers and and all? When I was 13 at my grandparent’s funeral. That was the first death for me. Emotional tears? Like every other day. Happy, sad story, movie, moving article, beautiful community moment, a good song at the right time, whatever. It’s been like this for over 30 years.
You don’t have to cry. Hopefully, it’s just a sign your brain has readjusted how it ranks stressful situations and not anything more serious than that.
Rotating Savings and Credit Association (ROSCA). It goes by many other local names across the world, but that’s the English wiki page title to get you going
His conversion doesn’t mean all that much when the voter base is predominantly Protestant
Sometimes I feel similarly about Elite: Dangerous. Disclaimer: I haven’t played NMS because E:D gets all my spacetime tokens and I’m fine with that. “Community goals” (high payout limited time events) get me to play because it gives me purpose for a week. For the most part though, I like coming to it for an hour or two when I want to take a break from story-laden games. Hunt pirates for an hour, fly out of inhabited space and explore for an hour (well, an hour out, an hour there per session, an hour back next time), or just chill with music and asteroid mining.
So I do wish there was a plot at times, but I do appreciate it for mixing up the routine with simple cruising
This ain’t quite what you’re asking about, but I think this is an underlying factor. I’m guessing you’re in your 20s. It’s not an exact age bracket, as life can make this happen earlier or later.
Games change over time. So do your responsibilities. The market is bigger than ever. You likely have less time than ever. You’re struggling to get into the hype and lore of an unfamiliar game with a community divided among other hot titles while, presumably, working full time, commuting, making food, cleaning, laundry, exercise, and doomscroll loops. To add onto it, so many games are artificially demanding attention by way of limited time events.
I have a few comfort games. I have a few long term campaign games pinned at a time. I have a couple new games pinned at a time. While that applies to PC and console, I also keep about 4 discs sitting at my console at a time. Narrowing down a large library to just ~8 on hand makes it easier to get into something for an extended length of time. Even if it’s been sitting for years, pinning it helps remind me. It helps me get into the lore and enjoy the game more when I’m not spending 30 minutes deciding how to best spend my time, then getting too late for proper immersion in the hour left.
Don’t feel bad playing a game that’s not right, not the best use of time, not the hottest, part of the “game industry problem” as defined by random commenters, whatever. Just play. I may be bummed I haven’t finished some 2015 era campaign yet, but at least I’m not bummed I sat and did nothing if I manage to get some game time.
Maybe cosplay, not larp.
“sir, you cannot land inverted” “WATCH ME” “fine, but get it done quickly and be sure to taxi off immediately”
You aren’t really larping with that kind of allowance, right?
The music part is so obviously this. OP, check an older season’s musical guest list. Gonna take a guess you know every act from a season in 2006-2011. The acts are always relevant to pop culture in some way (2026 references incoming), either being a current trending artist (Anita), an older one that’s touring or releasing an album (Gorilla), and/or someone continually famous (Cher, Paul McCartney) . It’s not SNL’s fault you don’t know them. If you were this age in 2006 (so, your parents maybe?) would you (your parents) know Nelly Furtado, Shakira, Akon, AFI, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Snow Patrol, or Death Cab for Cutie? Those aired 05-07.
Wheatley was valuable in the moments, but it’s the Cave Johnson (JK Simmons) lines I’m still quoting I’m the face of adverse situations
Facing away is my default position when not actively rinsing anything. Either half these comments are trying to be funny with their quips about washing their whole body or they take the faster showers in the world with no soak/relax time
Project Hail Mary doesn’t do that, from what I recall. I think it’s just the US government/military collecting a bunch of scientists. Maybe it’s cut from the adaptation. The mission has a lengthy timeline of decades while the existential threat is already harming the planet. It doesn’t really paint the Earth in any kind of dreamy co-op light from what I recall.
It’s a beautiful movie. I like hard sci-fi drama. My SO does not. We both enjoyed it as it split the difference. It has some beautiful visuals along the way. It’s far from “men being dicks in space” like Ad Astra and it doesn’t do the Armageddon thing with the global livestream. I’m not saying you have to watch it, but it’s just a nice, well done movie worth the time IMO.
I was also uninterested until seeing the astronauts out there. I saw a comment that sums it up: “turns out, I’m not tired of space. I’m tired of Musk and Bezos and corporate bullshit in space.”
I’m still bummed that the mission was reduced to a photographic flyby without any meaningful interaction. There’s nothing especially triumphant about this trip as it was already known to be achievable. That makes me assume there’s something hidden, such as secret probes, positive PR for the US government in the most heinous of times, more cover up for the epstein files, slapping the orange name on yet more activities despite robbing the NASA budget, etc.
But, for an hour or two spread across the last few days, it was still beautiful seeing 4 humans being genuine people. They even got the “end of vacation” sad feeling 24 hours before return. I can’t decry the loss of NASA funding and be disinterested in this. I have to beleive this mission will inspire the next generation there’s still something valuable in bigger projects with cooperation and scientific endeavors. I don’t think we’ll match the power of the first lunar landing anytime soon, but from the Apollo and Shuttles to now, we’ve just been subjected to corporate spaceflight and dick swinging competitions about whose craft docks more often. For just one more time, we don’t have a billionaire’s name visibly attached.
French isn’t naturally occurring
So what you’re saying is the creator of a word can define its pronunciation that supercedes the current language’s rules?
You do not need anything to work on cars or fly rc aircraft (within limits) and can freely play with various lithium batteries in many different manners.
You are talking about it being common sense to protect people from themselves, yet you could just as easily say it should be common sense to beleive everyone will take precautions before playing with gasoline. That’s the funny thing. There’s no such thing as common sense. “Common sense” is a bullshit concept for people to act like everyone knows something just because it’s part of the complainer’s life experience already. You know gasoline is dangerous but can be controlled. I know people generally know enough about gasoline by time they can interact with it to be safe. But if someone never interacted with it before, they’d have no idea how it behaves or what dangers are associated with it. Like, would you know how to store fertilizer in a way that it won’t combust? To farmers, it’s common sense. That doesn’t make it universally common knowledge. Or should it be obvious that snow is very slippery and might require you to drive at 1/4 speed? If you live in a place that gets snow, it’s common sense. Yet, every year, some place just south of the usual snow line gets snow for the first time in a decade and the streets become undrivable with cars piled up from residential-speed crashes. It’s not common sense if the cars have always, undoubtedly, stopped in a predictable manner, even in rain.
Regulations notoriously lack hobbyists’ level of common sense anyway. There’s often a gap between what’s legal and whether inexperienced people would even think to check if some activity is legal. The only tip off is if certain supplies are regulated.

Get down from your giant giraffe and ride a high horse like everyone else. Or do you say “high” with a “g” like “gift”?
Get EV. Make it do the skateboard design idea where the chassis/drive train is a skateboard under the cabin/cargo body. Delete the bolts that join the halves, replace with bungee cords. Done.
I had a toy car at some point that had plunger bumpers that reversed motor direction on impact.
The guy who created gif says jif, so that one, for starters. I’m sure you say CD-ROM in a way that rhymes with rom-com (side note, rom is wrongly a short O here too) with a short O, yet ROM stands for Read Only Memory. Or do you say See Dee Rome? Maybe with a Spanish background, but not English. Similar with PIN, I for identification but no one says pine. GIMP photo software stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. Whether you say Gee Enn Yoo or GNU, GIMP isn’t said a way that matches. The G in GLaDOS is for genetic. PAL (TV) is for Phase Alternating Line. PHAT, pretty hot and attractive. 50% of any time a Q is involved.
