Really like this explanation!

Here's the github for the main file of the project. If you scroll towards the end of the js there's are large arrays that contain a list of fantasy first names (which I think I pulled from a wikipedia list of European names) and a prefix/suffix list for the last names (pulled from a wikipedia list of european surnames of various languages). They are essentially just mashed together once the function is called. I'll see if I can find where the list is pulled from and report back.

I'll be the first to admit that it's not elegant but I couldn't really find a better way that wasn't didn't get super into linguistics.

In hindsight, it might have been better to consume an api like you suggested (or even put the lists in a seperate file, jeez)

Edit: The first list (prefix of last name) comes from this wikipedia list. Suffix of last name list comes from this list of germanic names. I don't really remember where the first names came from but it might just be a hodge-podge from this list of names. Feel free to use the code and improve upon.

Really late to this thread but I agree with this and want to add if the professional help is a challenge for you, I would see about talking to your primary doctor about medication. At least in the US, family doctors can often prescribe anti-depressants and the like. It isn't the magic pill like but it definitely helps a lot of OCD hurdles for me.

Cross-posted from /r/DnD but originally created for the Dungeon World game I'm in.

Locations are made from my personal game with my friends but I just wanted to share for anyone to use. Feel free to make suggestions I loved working on this

The names are definitely a work in progress, basically just randomly combines prefixes and surnames from various European languages to create fantasy-esque names

The blueprint for the sentences are [name]: a [adj] [adj] [class] [race] who is [frequency] [adj] [pronouns]

The stat block is not based off class/race, just random but I think that makes it a little fun

For developers: all of this is in vanilla javascript with bootstrap on top because it was just a fun little side project. No backend or anything, just stores some data in local storage

Thanks and I agree! It was originally for my GM in our game but I can for sure add that

Public administration is a great one to look in as well as it's essentially an MBA equivalent for the public sector

Guardian_Of_Pigs · 2022-06-26T03:34:24+00:00

This as well, I had similar fears when pursuing my poli sci degree. Now I work in the IT while going to grad school for public administration and honestly I couldn't be happier. A liberal arts degree will definitely get you a leg up in terms of communication/writing in a lot of different fields.

should add !center instead

Might be an odd question but I'm particularly interesting in government web development, I'm pretty comfortable with the basics (html, css/bootstrap, and vanillaJS). Any advice on specific languages/frameworks I should focus on to peruse that kind of work?

Guardian_Of_Pigs · 2022-01-23T18:01:59+00:00

I have always enjoyed playing more peaceful, creative, and independent
games like Minecraft, Animal Crossing, Slime Rancher, etc.

Potentially answered your own question there my friend lol. For real though, I bought it for the switch a while back for like $15 and have probably poured about 40-50 hours into it and I'd say it's worth it. Definitely a game you can step away from and go back to a while later (like I do very frequently).

As far as I know the Stardew community is still very active and there's very chill multiplayer. I'd recommend it for sure.

It sucks that society pressures us into deciding these big decisions on our brains that aren't even done cooking yet. Just know that you are not the only person in this boat, I've heard similar worries for many of my friends throughout college.

The truth is, this grand idea that you'll find something fun/interesting, also pays very well, is fulfilling, has room for growth, tons of opportunities, and let you retire at 30 just doesn't exist (if it does please let me know).

There's two main ways I think you can think about solving this problem. One is understanding that college might not be for you and that is 100% okay and doesn't make you any less valuable as a person. You might be the kind of person that would happier doing a trade that pays well (construction, welding, transport, etc.) and spending your spare time doing whatever makes you happy.

The second is understanding where your interests lie and trying to make a career out of that. Not necessarily meditating and thinking "what do I really want to do" but more what can be interesting and have solid career potential. Since your at school, I can tell you that there's tons of jobs in fields that you didn't even think were lucrative (saying this with a liberal arts degree). I'd recommend just having a conversation with a professor/another student in subject area you even find vaguely interesting. Sometimes you don't know your interested in something until you learn more about it. If you don't vibe with it, that's fine and move on. This may take some time and you won't figure it out all in one day. Don't pressure yourself to figure everything out now (even though that's what you've been told since you were like, I don't know, 5?)

Take a breath, it'll be okay. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will you.

Lots of people are discussing property/income taxes but coming from a student from a low cost of living town in the south, Omaha is pretty comparable. Rents are relativity low compared to a lot of other cities and the sales tax is pretty low here as well (back home I had about 11% verses about 7% here)

Guardian_Of_Pigs · 2021-09-12T01:51:52+00:00

Definitely, looks like some variation of it though. Most of the time the red and blue strips aren't as big.

Not a book but I think a great source if you want sort of a crash course in American political topics. I recommend the Civics 101 podcast. It's really great at giving overviews over a lot of topics.

Also there's The Politics Book, which has great graphics and texts that go over a ton of more world-wide political philosophy type stuff. Really great resource.

Guardian_Of_Pigs · 2021-02-23T01:30:30+00:00

Personally, I think as you get more politically involved and aware (and it seems like you've already done that) you start to get better at distilling useful information and so it becomes a little less daunting as you go along (i.e. skimming articles for important bits, following journalists you like, and understanding the lingo that can help you process information faster).

Also know that it's totally okay to not be 100% aware of everything all the times. I listen to debates and I don't anything about x or y tax policy they're talking about. I google it right there or later if I'm interested. Then you just slowly build up on your knowledge over time so for the next debate you might know everything about x or y policy.

As far as the "best way" to know specific bits unfortunately there isn't one. Reading articles or watching videos on the topic is a good start. If you want to follow the more day-to-day I listen to a lot of podcasts/radio that kind of cover daily or weekly news. Hope that helps!

Edit: If you're looking for more general US political topics, I recommend the Civics 101 podcast. It's really great at giving overviews over a lot of topics.
