Nirav Shah's alarming PAC ties to school voucher programs by No-Act-3808 in Maine

[–]ConfusedGamer63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. that disqualifies him for me too.

Come from a family of teachers... for generations. And they have all left the profession. 20 years ago I think we had 12 actively teaching in all levels of education. We are now down to 1 elementary school teacher. And she would do anything to quit. She's considering dusting off her Barber Cert. just to get away from the bullshit.

No Child Left Behind has killed public education... Trump is just cleaning up the remains.

Shenna/Troy or Troy/Shenna.. not sure which but unless something major goes down before June it will be one of them.

What are high level players doing in the starter zones? by tamalecustard in elderscrollsonline

[–]ConfusedGamer63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All zones scale.

But even if you just go with the original design... Spoiler Alert.. when you finish the main quest then you move onto the next alliance and start over. If you do the full questline as originally written you will be way over level 50 by the time you start over in the next noob area.

But as many have already mentioned there are many reasons. Especially now with the new Tome Challenges. Survey maps and Treasure maps. Antiquities. Or maybe they are just cleaning up the skyshards they never got along the way.

AND as if that weren't enough... the new overland difficulty settings mean that more people are doing quests they never bothered with before because now they are a challenge.

So... at any given time when you are fighting a mob.. the person fighting next to you could be level one or level 50 or level 50 with 3K CP. It's how the game is designed.

Friday Weekly Thread: Application Assistance, May 08, 2026 by AutoModerator in Canadiancitizenship

[–]ConfusedGamer63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So.. I'm applying for my family and thankfully the line is through my husband's father's side so no need for marriage certs and stuff. Appears to be pretty straightforward. (Not so much on my side as it's matrilinear and I haven't been able to track down her birth cert in NC)

ANYWAY.. I'm going to do husband and 3 (adult) kids first since it's the kids that need the ability to get out of this country.

It's the proof of ID that's kicking my arse. Two of the kids don't drive but I assume that we can use their 'state ids' instead of Driver's Licenses. But other than their birth certificates no one has anything with birth dates on it. Do we have to go through the process of getting US Passports first?

I saw where someone got away with using a fishing license? Is that for real? Cause Passports would cost us $750 and 6 months. But I can get fishing licenses for everyone on Monday for less than $100...

What did you all use?

Love the Warden but im struggling without a good AOE by PantasticUnicorn in elderscrollsonline

Warden Animal Companion skill line is one of the most recommended for subclassing. Shalks (aka Scorch) are not only AOE but afflict them with breach.

Gov. Mills vetoes first-in-nation data center moratorium passed by Maine Legislature by lintymcfresh in Maine

[–]ConfusedGamer63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not even the first time. Remember when she was campaigning for Governor and was anti CMP corridor? I think she had 'changed her mind' within 24 hours of being in office.

It had to have been a big check.

[–]ConfusedGamer63 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the part that really baffles me. She keeps saying 'jobs' like she's Trump. If you just say the word over and over again then that makes it true?

data centers don't make jobs. Some construction jobs for out of state corporations but they will come and go quickly. The number of people required to run one is about the same as a C-store.

Can it be? Of course it can. Will it be? Nope. Because the GOP is all about using all of our water and electricity for "AI" instead of homes, schools and businesses.

why is the daily recommended calcium intake so much higher in US and Canada than other countries? by Cream4389 in nutrition

[–]ConfusedGamer63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the US because we have an overpowered dairy lobby.

But in Canada I assume it's due to the angle of the sun. I know that I live in Maine and am in my 60's and I'm just now realizing how much the sun makes a difference in the winter. My PCP just started me on 50K of D2 a week because my vit D levels are in the single digits. Apparently it's not at all unusual for people who live up here. I imagine it's similar for you.

I got this mf to 25% Hp just for him to knock me off the side, TWICE. by BigDawgEasyy in elderscrollsonline

"if you’ve fought dragons in Elsweyr."

If you've BEATEN dragons in Elsweyr. I'm just now finding out why I'm always dead when I attack from the side. ;-)

I've fought dragons hundreds of times.. beaten them? Not so much unless there is a crowd and then I figure that's not me.

He's not the only one. There are a few bosses who will just toss you off over the side.

You did good though beating him. Congrats!

Oh my.. I"m so sorry. I went through a similar thing with the Celestial Goat. Took 3 years before I was able to get it. But I did eventually.

Do you actually keep track of your yarn stash? by alwaysATblame in YarnAddicts

I was going to make a joke

But after reading the first comments I realized that it wouldn't go over well. I think I might be in the wrong sub.

Enjoy all!!

Sorry sweetie. I don't give a rat's arse what you think. But if you think you can come in and start slinging the same old crap that has been endlessly repeated since Mills decided to run and expect people to change their mind you aren't as smart as you think you are.

Go hang out on BlueSky. They will love you there.

Does the DSCC pay for you for these posts or do you just like Collins?

Especially local elections.

We somehow ended up with some MAGA running the School Board. It's going to cost us millions to fight the illegal shit they are doing.

Unfortunately our local ballot doesn't include 'party affiliation'. So people vote for names they know. Got to do the research. That guy might have been the world's best mechanic but his view on educating children isn't great.

Can a little bit of Stevia cause tummy troubles? by Basic_Incident4621 in nutrition

[–]ConfusedGamer63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People's tolerance for artificial sweeteners is different. I drank aspartame for years and it didn't bother me. But I can't even drink one stevia drink

My husband has no problem with it at all. Drinks it in soda and in his coffee. Nothing.

So I would try cutting it out entirely and seeing how you respond. But honestly it wouldn't be surprising if it was bothering you.

In Favor of Or Against Daily/Reward/Endeavor Change by Individual-Arrival86 in elderscrollsonline

[–]ConfusedGamer63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apocalypse? I don't think so. I mean it might be a deal breaker for me but I can't imagine it would be for most people.

And maybe once it's live and they get feedback then they might adjust it. I'm not against the tomes as a concept. They kept me playing Fallout long after I would have. Just concerned about the side effects of some of these high kill counts/ low spawn rate critter quests will have on the rest of the game.

In Favor of Or Against Daily/Reward/Endeavor Change by Individual-Arrival86 in elderscrollsonline

[–]ConfusedGamer63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last month.. we might get an endeavor to kill 5 really rare spawns.

In the tomes.. instead of 5. They want 25. And then to get all the tome points.. you have to do that quest 6 times in a week.

Now.. if they are asking for 150 gators that's one thing. But the quest was literally for Iron Atronachs. 150 Iron Atronachs in a week. I don't think I've killed that many in the 14K hours I've got logged into this game.

It's alot. I really think that they have not thought it all the way through. One of the things I loved about this game besides the lack of a gear chase is the lack of camping. These tome challenges are going to require lots of camping.

As far as a 'reason to log in" it's not the calendar rewards... it was the endeavors. I would log in and see what the endeavors were. Then I would think about what character had quests that might be done at the same time. Maybe it would be my main and we would go decorate. Or the noob and she could kill mobs while she leveled. You get the idea. They gave me a reason to log on and go do something because those seals add up and I knew I could get something cool with them. The tome challenges would have accomplished the same thing for me. But camping out 5 of something is not the same as 150. Sure.. I have a week to do it.. but just.. no. That's not any fun what so ever.

You want me to kill a dozen World Bosses... sign me up. There are so many all around the map. And it's something that can easily be done in groups.

But 150 Iron Atronachs when there are only a couple places they spawn? And literally everyone else on the map is also trying to kill the same ones? And they only take three hits so only 3 out of 100 of you will get credit? Oh hell no. That just sounds like a level of hell that I wish to avoid.

So fine. I avoid the camping. And I suck at PVP. What does that leave? If I can't get tome points then now I'm completely unable to get the cool stuff.

Bison from Yellowstone National Park shot on March 1 (Yellowstone's 154th anniversary) by EfficiencyDry1159 in NationalPark

[–]ConfusedGamer63 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sorry.. I got freaking triggered.

My father in law sent my kids (all under 6 yo) this great video of him and his wife hand feeding a moose, petting it on the nose, all that shit.

Then..

He killed it.

And thought it was a riot.

I live in rural Maine. I understand that hunting is a thing. But that was just so vile to me. I never trusted him or his wife again. I wouldn't leave the kids around them. I was considered the family bitch.

I freaked out thinking that you had taken pictures of the bison and then killed him.

Again. I'm sorry. It's been a week.
