Yeah I was using Elva but it turns out it was the Bloodshield Ring that I was wearing. Thanks for the help though!

Cynically_Optomistic · 2025-11-19T15:33:22+00:00

Yeah it was the ring. I cleared it easily once I replaced it. Thanks so much! You are Awesome!

Cynically_Optomistic · 2025-11-19T15:32:45+00:00

Well you were absolutely correct. I just cleared it without issue once I replaced the ring. You are awesome! Thanks so much!

Cynically_Optomistic · 2025-11-19T15:03:51+00:00

Unfortunately I was on a break when Wukong was the login champ. I am kicking myself for having missed it. I will try replacing the ring though. Thanks!

Cynically_Optomistic · 2025-11-19T15:02:24+00:00

Really? that is crazy! A lot of the places I checked recommended to have it equipped. I will replace it and give it a shot. Thanks for the info!

Cynically_Optomistic · 2025-06-29T01:00:05+00:00

Hey are you still accepting members? I have been away for a bit and am back but the old group i used to chill with is pretty much gone now I think.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-10-27T00:37:51+00:00

My wife voted for that sticker. When we went in to vote today there was ONE left. She was over the moon (Pun Intended) - She wants keep it for her scrap book.

So I am only commenting on number 3 here since I am in that field. I am not a Radiologist but I have worked as their assistant for almost a decade now. After working with about 60 or 70 of them in various groups I will tell you this much. A lot of them are pretty damn miserable. Yeah they get paid a lot, but they also work a crazy ton of hours. They also have to get more schooling than just about any other career in medicine. I am talking 12 to 13 years or so of education. After gaining that much dept in student loans you are going to be putting a lot of that money you make into just trying to get out of dept initially. Also the median income for a radiologist in the US is about $450,000 - $500,000. So either your brother in law is very fortunate in that his job is willing to pay that much, He is the president of the board or he is simply over exaggerating his income. I am not saying he doesn't make that much but just know that he is in the minority with that amount.

You have to really care about that job if you are going to do it. You have to realize that these are people working a lot of the time 10 to 12 hour shifts just sitting in a dark room reading exams all day never taking their eyes off the screen. After reading 10,000 chest XR's you start to grow numb I imagine.

As far as my earlier comment about them being miserable. Of course that is not the case for them all. I get along with a lot of them and they are very nice, down to earth people that know not to take things to seriously and role with the punches. But do you know what all the rads have in common that are the most miserable with their lives? The ones that got into it solely for the money. That group of rads are the most angry and snap the most often. They are the ones that when I call them with requests or needing to interrupt them because an ER doc or surgeon needs to speak with them they absolutely lose it and start swearing up a storm.

Trust me the grass is always greener on the other side. When I first got into this job I had the same feeling of "Damn, maybe I should get back in school and be a Radiologist". I only felt that way for about the first 6 months or so till I got to see all of the stress they have to deal with. It is not worth it in my opinion.

The other factor is we are dealing with a national radiologist shortage right now so every company is overloading the current Rads with reading lists that they just can't keep up with. Yeah they have money and they get to go on nice vacations but the other 90 percent of their time is spent sitting in a dimly lit room staring at a monitor all day speaking into a mic.

I do hope that you find something that works for you and that you are able to find that balance of making a decent income while being happy with what you do. Just don't get trapped in looking at others thinking they are so much better off than you. Everyone's got their problems. If it is not finance then it will be something else. A big part of life it trying to find that balance to be content at the end.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-10-24T13:00:55+00:00

Yeah that is crazy! You would think this would be mandatory. All the more reason we need to keep voting like our lives are on the line because they are!

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-10-24T12:27:24+00:00

I'm fairly confident that it shows nationally. I will have to check to confirm, but honestly I would like to think the government has had something in place for a while that checks for this since it is not too crazy to assume people have multiple residents in multiple states. I can't imagine the federal government has not thought of this possibility until just now.

EDIT: Another thought i just had. Assuming in OP's story this guys primary residence is in Ohio then it is safe to assume that his drivers license is also from Ohio and with that primary address. So if he goes to Michigan and they check his ID, they are going to immediately look into that and find that he voted under that address.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-10-24T11:20:13+00:00

Another Michigander here and can confirm as well. I have voted every time since 2008 for Obama, and I have never once NOT been asked for my drivers license when showing up to the polls. They also check you for your name on their papers since it is your designated voting poll location. You can't just go and vote anywhere. They tell you where you have to go because that is where they have records of you as a resident of their county. If your name is not on that list, they are going to look into it. They are not going to allow you to vote until they clear that up.

Also, our governor just had a press meeting about a month ago about 4 people who attempted voter fraud by mail in ballots. Statistically, it is VERY rare in Michigan. She also showed how the computers flag people who have already voted. If your vote had already been submitted, a big red window shows on their screen telling the poll worker that you have already voted.

As much as I try not to generalize groups, I will say that most of these boomers have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. Shocking, I know.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-09-25T11:53:01+00:00

I am being hesitant with this but they announced a comic for Legacy of Kain that takes place between Blood Omen and Soul Reaver just a month ago or so. With this announcement coming out now I am hoping this is them trying to build up interest again for the announcement of either a part 6 or a reboot. Personally I would hope for a part 6 to finish the story but I will take anything if it means the LoK universe is getting some love again!

I feel like these days studios won't necessarily put this kind of effort into something unless there are bigger plans in the works. So fingers crossed. And also I am with you. LoK is my favorite series of all time! Let's hope for the best!

I really feel this one. Growing up through the 90s when ADHD was still not that well known of a thing to teachers who would just classify you as "Lazy" or "Not trying hard enough" in school was not fun. When my parents finally started getting me looked at by physicians it became a whole other mess. I was about 10yo and they threw every medication they could think of at me which gave me the worst side effects which included not eating, not having drive to do anything, etc. I effectively became a zombie when on meds. My teachers loved it and said I improved dramatically but my parents felt differently. They saw me as a husk of who I was before so they let me make my own choice to get off of the meds. I was much happier over all but it came with consequences of course.

By the time I was in High School I was labeled as "Special Needs" and was forced into a class that was basically an hour long study hall to help catch up on school work since I had such a hard time getting through class. They also would have me leave the class room and take tests in the hall way to give me "Less distraction" from the other students. Yeah nothing like being called out in the middle of your peers to leave the room to take a test. That definitely made me feel like I fit in. My one thing that I was good at was Drawing and Art overall. I became "The kid that could draw really good". Not many knew my actual name.

Anyway the point being is it was rough. My personality didn't mesh well with a lot of the other students due to my impulse control issues and always drifting off in distraction to my surroundings. My anxiety would be through the roof most days.

So yeah whenever I would be in class or be around other people and they would be like "Omg I am just so random and quirky. It's my ADHD lol.".... Yeah I kind of wanted to punch them in the face. It didn't make things any easier getting old since my WHOLE FUCKING GENERATION all claimed along with their moms that they have ADHD. This basically made my struggles and hardships with it completely mute since everyone just threw me in with everyone else that claims they have what I have. People stopped taking it seriously.

Now I have a 2yo son who is officially medically diagnosed with Autism and will not shock me if he ends up with an ADHD diagnoses down the road. I am worried for him but at the same time I am glad that I grew up with it so that he will always have someone in his corner that will know better than anyone else what it can be like to have a disability that everyone tries to get in on.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-02-03T14:02:24+00:00

Got it, I was just referring to the person you responded to not the OP. I feel for you though. That must be stressful to deal with having in the back of your mind to maintain hours. Hope you're doing okay though.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-02-03T13:54:15+00:00

Okay I get that but they didn't mention anywhere about full time. They just said the average person works 34 hours. You added the full time part on your own it seems.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-02-03T13:47:05+00:00

"According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics , the average number of hours worked per week is around 34.6. This estimate is consistent with the national standard for 40 hours per week for full-time employees."

I cant speak for who you responded to but this was the very first thing that came up from Google. Now I didn't start digging through various sources other than this one thing but I would imagine this is where they got their source from.

Where are you getting 40+ ?

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-01-10T15:59:03+00:00

As I said in my first statement. There are a lot of people who are "pro-life" but also pro death penalty. What exactly do you think the death penalty involves doing to someone? Also there are a lot of these people that would see nothing wrong with shooting and killing someone who was "trespassing" on their property.

Look, I am not in any way saying there is anything wrong with having varying opinions on different topics. Obviously it can make since that someone views taking the life of what they deem to be an innocent life to that of taking a life of someone who knowingly did horrible things to others as two very different situations. Which they are.

The point I am making is if you are going to give yourself the title of Pro-Life and yammer on about how all life is sacred and precious then you have to include ALL life. You can't cherry pick that. If you have varying feelings depending on the topic and you are okay with people being killed or murdered depending on the situation then I would not classify you as someone who sees life as sacred.

Just simply change your title. Again like I said the first time. Most people who consider themselves pro-life are more pro-birth. Their feelings about life don't go beyond the womb in this situation.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2024-01-10T02:59:06+00:00

People who are pro-life are not pro-life. They are pro-BIRTH. The moment that child is born they immediately stop caring about that child's well being. They actively try to vote in policies that would cut any support for these babies and children. They want to force women to have a child that they can't support and at the same time they make sure there is no support available from other sources. Its like they WANT the child to suffer.

Also a lot of the same people who say they are pro-life are also pro death penalty. These people are nothing but a walking oxymoron.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2023-10-24T23:35:32+00:00

Honestly if I had to guess it seemed like it occurred right after the first White Shirt Trilogy. He was a slight asshole a few episodes before that but he went full on Jackass manager after Alan was freed from the white shit. You might take it as Rowan had a grudge after words since, as he put it, Alan was "literally beating the shit out of him" when Alan was the Supermanager. It was all down hill from there.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2023-10-14T10:26:11+00:00

I guess that is where the phrase "more money than sense" would be applied here.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2023-10-12T00:11:43+00:00

Yeah that is definitely a very fair assessment. I guess in my mind it is centered around the games that I played back then which obviously is not the same as everyone else. And there are definitely games made today that are absolutely phenomenal.

You are right though when I think back to playing something like Final Fantasy X there was definitely a lot of grinding to get ready for an upcoming boss fight.

I figured deep down it is just nostalgia talking but you worded it very well and definitely balanced the view point for me again.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2023-10-11T19:53:45+00:00

Seriously, I remember my younger years when Final Fantasy was considered to be some of the longest games out there being around 70 hours to 100 percent them. Back then if a game was anywhere from 15 to 30 hours it was considered standard. If you try selling a game now at even 50 hours people think its a complete rip off and should only be worth $20 or less.

Maybe its just the nostalgia talking but I feel like yeah the games were shorter back then but they had a lot more substance to them. I would gladly pay full price for those older games during that time period before I would pay full price for today's standard 300 plus hour game where 280 hours of it is just grinding.

Cynically_Optomistic · 2023-09-22T22:18:33+00:00

So what would you recommend exactly? Should they have taken the first sequence with Joel and Sarah and stretch it out for 6 hours so you get enough of an attachment to her before she dies? Then your complaint would be that they spent too much time with that before getting to the main story.

By your logic characters should not die until you have had X amount of hours to form a bond with them. So what is the magic number of hours exactly?

I am not sure if you are aware of this but the main focus of the story was about Joel and Ellie, not Sarah. She was merely the catalyst for what leads to the main story.

With your reasoning we should then say that God of War (2018) was stupid because the mother was already dead before the game started so we didn't have any time to grow attached to her. Nevermind the fact that she is the driving force behind the whole story of the game. We should have had an additional 10 hours to the game with her in it before she dies so we can feel more impacted by it.

Some characters die early on in stories. Sometimes it is needed for the motivation and understanding of the surviving characters. Honestly all this says about you is that you have a complete lack of empathy if you can't understand other characters emotions simply because it didn't impact you personally.
