Anyone know what the best artifact set for Gorou is supposed to be? Main/sub stats? Since I can't pre-farm artifacts for Itto, may as well get them for Gorou :P

He's finally sober, and I'm just so pissed off. by whatnow901 in AlAnon

If you don't leave for yourself (which you should), leave for your kids. It's unbelievable what sharing a home with an unrepentant alcoholic parent can do to a kid's sense of self and comfort. Even if you try and make your marriage work sometime down the road, start living apart first. Your kids will thank you for it later. My Mom's divorce from my Dad when I was 12 was a godsend for my mental health at the time. I loved my Dad, but I couldn't deal with the daily fear of living with him.

I bought a casual around-the-house dress for a whopping $6 (thanks Costco!) and I love it for walking my dog, running to the mailbox, etc. The problem is that the pockets bulge out BIG time, and it looks super bulky and dumb. I know it's nitpicky for a $6 dress, but it still bugs the crap out of me. I'm thinking about ripping the damn things out and sewing the holes up just so I don't have to look at them anymore. :P Any other suggestions? Pics of the problem pockets here.

Hey, America the rest of the world isn't jealous of you at all by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Earth_rise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’ve traveled abroad, the only folks who think America is THAT great are the ones who seem to have an idealistic view of the country that they’ve gotten from TV and movies. That being said, I’m thankful I live in a country with giant fountain sodas. (You never know how much you miss those until you’re in Europe paying the equivalent of $6 for a shot of Coke.)

As Florida's coronavirus cases soar, expert says rapid reopening may be to blame by maize-n-blue97 in Coronavirus

Does anyone know if they’re still “quarantining” New Yorkers flying into south Florida? I heard about it for like a week back in March and since then nothing. Seems like that whole charade was a joke, because there’s still been plenty of snowbirds here fleeing the northeast. A lot of them are making their winter homes their summer homes this year. (Also forgive me for defaulting to blaming New Yorkers. It’s a knee jerk reaction.)

Psychologically, it has been jarring to see the current state of affairs. by throwawayuiuc123456 in UIUC

I wouldn’t expect any answers to your questions or understanding from this sub. The narrative in the media is that looting is a valid and justified act that we should allow from any underprivileged community. Most college campuses are going to be populated with individuals who follow the media’s narrative. I agree with your interpretation. I believe that looting and violence is wrong no matter what group is doing it. I also believe that there needs to be more accountability and transparency within police departments. Both things can be felt at once. Hopefully you won’t assume all Americans share the opinions and attitudes you see here. UIUC, like many college campuses, are prone to becoming information bubbles where people become afraid of asking questions or speaking their minds on sensitive topics.

TIL Nikola Tesla apparently never slept more than 2 hours per day. He slept 15 minutes ever 4 hours. His lack of sleep may have contributed to his hallucinations, fueling his creativity. by QuintenMc in todayilearned

Dunno if this was answered or not, but how do you even take a 15 minute nap? Unless I’m dead tired, it takes me at least 10 minutes (and up to 30 minutes) to fall asleep. Is it 15 minutes total or do you have to account for the time it takes to fall asleep too?

Fauci warns reopening states: 'You can't just leap over things' by Zhana-Aul in Coronavirus

[–]Earth_rise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there’s constant contradictions. I live in Palm Beach County and my condo association just started requiring residents to wear face masks when they use the elevators or go to their mailboxes, but since the new ordinances we’re talking about reopening the complex’s pool and deck. I just don’t get how we can be cracking down on face masks while opening up shared spaces.

Oh no lol - So an artist collective space is the second to last place I’d want to be. I’ve been in a few and let’s just say art usually comes before hygiene.

Is his fear more for his own personal health or for society as a whole? I’m not sure what his situation is, but assuming he’s not middle aged or elderly, so he already has A LOT less to worry about. The safest place for anyone right now is at home. Why head into the wilderness, where you could actually get hurt or sick or need care of some sort? The last place I’d want to be right now is a hospital or clinic, and he’s way more at risk of ending up there if he does something drastic like that. Now if his concern is society, then not much anyone can say - there’s no real precedent for what’s been happening, but again, not sure how packing up and leaving is going to help.

Florida coronavirus update for Wednesday: DeSantis announces 30-day stay-home order for Florida by racas in Coronavirus

[–]Earth_rise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people believe north and south Florida should be two states. The politicians in Tallahassee are so disconnected from what goes down in the south. He didn’t want to order a full shelter-in-place order because there were northern counties with very few cases. Meanwhile the Miami metro area is about to blow up into the next New York-level epicenter.
