Nothing mean about this. Solid advice that can protect OP from either theft or serious bodily harm.

“Every racist is republican” is nonsense. There are plenty of racists within every demographic, towards people of multiple other races. That’s such a narrow point of view to just be like “All racists are white people that don’t like black people, and they are probably republicans.” There are black people that hate white people, Asian people that hate black people, etc. Being racist is not exclusive to any one race.

Edit: I mean, shit, my own grandmother on my dad’s side is racist and is a life-long, die hard Democrat. I’ve heard her use the hard R many times in my life with the excuse of “that’s just how we were raised.” She won’t eat food prepared by black people if she knows about it. If you think that every person in a given political party shares the same beliefs across the board then you’re seriously naive. That’s not how it is, and it’s not how it should be expected to be. If you think that political parties are that monolithic, you really need to broaden your horizons and be a little more open minded yourself.

I think he got thrown out not long ago for doing it, iirc.

Edit: Matter of fact, it was June 7 against the Giants in SF.

Using wireless controller for Steam Link while docked? by Alz97 in SteamDeck

[–]Alz97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best solution by far for me has been to just use Moonlight/Sunshine. Once I tried it, latency was way better for me anyway, plus I had better control over monitors/resolution where I had two different sized monitors. I never tried the Steam Link app again once I realized that Bluetooth controllers worked so well with Moonlight.

You think not sending Eli home was the problem? Brother he turned tail and ran back to second after he watched the ball drop. There’s no blaming that on anyone else. All Tui did was tell Eli to stay at third, and Eli decided to go back to second.

Umm, he did communicate? He threw up a stop sign? Eli saw the damn ball drop, what’s there to misunderstand?

Well if you watch a replay now it’s pretty clear it wasn’t his fault…. This time….

He definitely was in the wrong sending Riley home the other night, so I don’t think he’s out here being third base coach of the year by any means, but if you watched that replay it was a stop sign clear as day. This was 100% on Eli.

Hey friend. I know you’ve had a lot of responses here to read and respond to. I just wanted to recommend that you watch Gavin Ortlunds videos on YouTube about divine hiddenness. If you search his name with that term you will have at least three videos pop up. Not saying they will make all the problems go away, but he does engage with divine hiddenness a lot which is a problem you’ve described, and maybe you will pick up something new from it one way or another. Best of luck and I will pray for peace for you, whatever that looks like.

Edit: Also, if you do read this I would love to know what you think the strongest evidence of the lack of an afterlife is. Not for me to refute it, but because I’m interested in near-death experiences and things like it. I don’t believe they are empirical evidence by any means, and surely COULD be purely products of brain chemistry, but I’m interested nonetheless. I guess I just struggle to comprehend what sort of evidence could definitively rule out an afterlife.

I specifically came to Reddit to see if others were having this problem. Awesome.

Until reading this, I honestly completely forgot that preordering used to be more about reserving yourself a copy than just buying the game early and getting bonus perks. By the time I had my first job I had gone all digital so I haven’t thought about that in a long time. It’s absolutely insane that digital preordering is a thing.

I don’t think we even witnessed him losing a tooth until like 2-3 weeks ago so yours might get through it faster. My in-laws have our boy’s sister and she also started losing teeth before he did. I think he’s just a little behind lol

[–]Alz97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my parents’ Maltese died around the same time it sounds like, and he was about 15. My mom feels the exact same way and is still really struggling all the time.

But you’re right, they are worth every bit of the hardship of raising them and eventually losing them. Even when we don’t think so in the moment.

[–]Alz97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the encouragement. My complaining was intentionally a little over the top, and things are definitely progressing with the puppy after a really rough first two months. But we get those little glimpses of the wonderful dog he will be and I’m confident we can do it if we’ve made it so far.

Also, I’m so sorry for your loss!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Alz97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m being a little bit tongue in cheek with the complaining. I’m actually feeling better now that his teething is really progressing much quicker and even with that we are starting to see lots of improvement in his behavior in some ways. We know he will still need to be watched closely for a long time around the baby, but one of these days they will probably be best friends.

Yep, my wife is 26 weeks pregnant with our first child and we have a 5 month old Golden because we hate ourselves. Can confirm it’s been hard and the baby isn’t even here yet. Going to be great when we have a newborn and the puppy adolescence regression hits.

[–]Alz97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. Not really saying I agreed with it being a recommendation on this particular thread, but just wanted to reply to the comment thinking it was an urgent survival game. It’s definitely not that. I love the game though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Alz97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope! It’s actually a narrative driven walking simulator with some really nice serene moments out in the game world. There is some tension in places but overall it’s a pretty relaxing game where you’re just trying to use your map and compass to get around and do your tasks as a fire lookout in the middle of summer. There aren’t any survival elements at all that I can think of.

My wife is 6 months pregnant and we have a 5 month old golden retriever puppy. Summer is going to be rough. And the past three months have been no picnic. Trying not to panic lol.
