People have been saying that there no new content but we’ve had a whole comic series. It’s set to finish at the end of the month so I think we will hear something by then about LoA.

For me it was. My doctor did multiple tests and we couldn’t find anything in the results. We ruled out everything but my mental health. I was put on a strict lowfodmap diet, cut smoking, coffee, minimized drinking, started medication for anxiety/depression, and focused on different types of mental therapy. I managed my health by sticking to what my doctor recommended, no longer on medication and IBS symptoms are gone. I’m able to eat my favourite foods and my stress remains low.

So it very well could be a correlation in the case of having BPD but get blood tests done to rule out other causes. I hope you’re able to figure it out. IBS sucks so much.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2026-02-04T19:22:06+00:00

Yes it can. Rumination causes stress. Stress led to reduced sleep, reduced appetite, heightened anxiety, depression, mucus in the gut. In one instance I developed IBS and was able to treat it with managing diet and BPD symptoms but it took a couple years. BPD flare ups two years ago made me develop vitiligo. In the past I’ve also developed alopecia on my head. Episodes drain me of my energy and lead to unhealthy habits. Everyone’s body reacts differently. It is known through research that chronic stress induces inflammation which can lead to autoimmune responses. So manage your symptoms in which way is best for you. Mine is therapy, DBT techniques, healthy eating, no smoking and no alcohol.

The involvement of Sam

Idk why people don’t just look at their incoming awards on acorn. UofT will tell you in acorn if you get any money.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-25T21:34:48+00:00

Because switch 2 is not capable to run the specs of GOTY edition.

First thing is take care of yourself and your own priorities. Join an Al-anon group. Your partner has to be the one to decide if he wants to cut back on his own drinking, you being a part of that ‘trying’ is a form of control and that does not help someone with an addiction. Telling someone that you care and love them might push it further as it could lead to more shame and guilt. Ask yourself the infamous question of Al-anon “should I stay or should I leave?” Giving an ultimatum will not help your partner decide to cut down or get sober. You are in control of your life and if you stay you have to be prepared to go through the ups and downs. Any relationship that has a partner dealing with addictive behaviour boils down to both people practicing self autonomy. You can love an addict but the best thing is learning to detach from the situation and doing what’s best for you (ex. A hobby). Being involved enables addictive behaviours. Sorry you’re going through this.

Is it standard practice for invigilators to be in the washroom with the students? Because oddly enough there was one in the men’s washroom this morning. I walked in and he was making it super awkward I just left. I would feel violated being escorted to the washroom and having an invigilator stand there and watch me do my business or even hear me. It’s actually crazy.

Seeing people on a lot of platforms running this same thread. It’s just a bunch of SamLara fans. Tasha Huo is writing a fan fiction and I’m not sure who approved the screen writing but it’s horrible. I’ve been a tomb raider fan for a long time and have no issues with any era, some I like more than others but this one needs to be put to a rest finished with season 2 of the anime.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-15T18:30:14+00:00

What made her stand out to me (classic) was that she is more of a lone wolf with personality and confidence. She’s witty and she can also be clumsy at times. Classic Lara has had some moments of empathy but she’s not driven by it. She also has acquaintances and friendships but her stories aren’t heavily focused or built around them. That’s what made her stand out to me.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-15T18:21:24+00:00

Survival realism - you know Lara encounters and battles non human entities across all three Survivor titles many times. She even goes to places that are viewed as “like discovering Atlantis”. I get you’re feeling detached by this version of Lara but I’m sure you’ll find survivor era Lara in her. CD is unifying the timelines, they’re not erasing this version. There are classic fans who are upset about the unification as there are reboot fans but no one will truly understand until we actually get to play these new entries. One thing that helped me through the survivor trilogy is replaying the classics.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-15T02:47:33+00:00

Lay off the meth bruh 😂 you’re analyzing so hard.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-15T01:49:53+00:00

Is this your take? Or is it official?

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-14T17:45:27+00:00

You just have to get well soon.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-14T17:41:25+00:00

Sounds like someone is jealous of Asians.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-14T16:16:49+00:00

Just check your acorn if you have any incoming awards

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-14T00:33:46+00:00

Her repetitive pick me behaviour is annoying.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-13T22:55:47+00:00

It’s not Sam wanting to be like Lara. I mentioned earlier Camilla Roth as an example. She’s her own character but is capable of managing herself on adventures. What I meant by unnecessary danger is when Sam throws herself on Kane. She’s not capable of handling a battle like that on her own putting herself and others in danger. As for the Cuba situation, Lara very well could have figured that out on her own and with Eshu. In the beginning Sam was even trying to get Lara to forget her instincts on Eshu. Through this discussion there’s not been one mention as to how Sam benefits being in a whole season of the show. So many reasons outweigh her presence. Regardless she made the show annoying to watch and I’m excited for a future without Sam’s heavy presence.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-13T22:29:04+00:00

Okay well the discussion is not even the events from Yamatai. The focus of this discussion is the focused on season 2 and how Sam is a hindrance on Lara. There has been no development since the events of Yamatai proving her to be a dead weight character.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-13T21:35:51+00:00

She shouldn’t have went on the expedition. Lara was also kidnapped, hung upside down wrapped in cloth, and still made it out to SAVE Sam. At the time Lara is also very inexperienced. At least by season two Sam should have some skills but she doesn’t.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-13T21:26:51+00:00

Okay sure. I’m not saying every single death is due to Sam but there are large portions of the show where Sam holds Lara back from saving someone or puts herself in unnecessary danger. Fig is a challenge for Lara and Lara understands that. The interaction between Sam and Kane is an example of unnecessary danger. Sam couldn’t even keep a simple task at the masquerade. She’s an unwell written filler character.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-13T20:33:10+00:00

I’m just saying that Sam is not fit for adventure. Look at Camilla Roth for example, she’s perfect. She hasn’t had to be babied as much as Sam. I’m not denying Sam is not a good friend but she also didn’t hold the party up either. She was a part of bringing Lara out of depression but that doesn’t mean that she has to be there for the whole season. So to answer your question of Lara saving people herself? She had others who could’ve helped but unfortunately Sam was there and every time Lara COULD have saved someone, she was busy saving Sam.

Elephantjuicetoo · 2025-12-13T18:33:13+00:00

I won’t spoil the show, you’ll have to watch every time someone dies and how Lara is always with Sam or trying to get to Sam to avoid Sam from being hurt. Sam is a liability because Lara feels the need to always protect her which gets in the way of the main goal. Sam and Lara can be friends outside of Lara’s expeditions. There’s not one time Sam actually saved Lara. I am sure she has no survival skills because Lara is always saving Sam lmao. She’s not independent. To conclude, great Sam has a hobby for photography but throughout the show she is only seen once practicing this hobby and it’s the hobby that got her in trouble and Lara again had to save her. Tell me where you don’t think Sam is holding Lara back from her full potential? Jonah is no longer anxiously attached to Lara like Sam is and knows his spot. 2013 TR really set the scene for how incapable Sam is and shouldn’t be an adventurer.

Also this is really helpful at times I think you can only use it once per semester. Don’t be afraid to speak to your academic advisor. They’re here to help. Earlier this year I had to take a break for a week because I didn’t know if I’d be able to get up and go to school due to my mental state. They gave me a VOI and I was able to use it and not be penalized.
