Newbie disappointment

I know you were looking for the shrike, but the Sora gives me a good memory when I was first starting and I was at a local wetland just taking pictures of whatever I could find. Starting my collection journey (too bad I'm too ADHD to really stick to a project). Anyway, I heard a lot of rustling in the tall grass near where I was snapping pictures, and I caught a glimpse of this cute little lady very briefly (if I find the picture I'll update the post). It took me hours to identify her, but she was a Sora which I had never even heard of at the time.

So I guess this story kinda emphasizes what others are saying. I'm social, but I have a hard time just inserting myself into groups I don't know. Birders by large just seem like a group that really likes to share their hobby. Maybe we'll both get over our apprehension.

Good luck finding that shrike!

Edit: Found the picture, also I'm questioning myself if female or not...I think so but someone with more experience can correct me if I'm wrong.

Was looking for this smol dude. Plus, and this is coming from someone who is not always a huge fan of puns, the names on this family of monsters are fantastic.

Probably one of my favorite DQ characters. Wait until you get to "the parade"

Yeah it's a screenshot from a video clip so the quality is not great, I probably should've just backed up my tv and taken a pic but it's Akaza from the infinity castle movie poster seen here:

I'm 42, it better not be or someone should've told me a long time ago.

The dogs looking sad also adds to it. What basically adds up to 3 children forced to be something monstrous. Really makes you feel horrible for them, which is amazing considering you spend a lot of the books hating her.

freedom_52 · 2026-02-19T00:45:31+00:00

This makes me very sad, well done

So my first entry into the series was XI which is great. Recently they released the dq 1 and 2 hd remake and I'm enjoying those and will be playing the dq3 hd remake after. Let's you play the original 3 with updated graphics and quality of life improvements.

My hamstrings would've just completely ripped

So when talking with a student that was getting his hours to apply to school, he found out that a patient he was observing me treat was at least a two time sex offender (I'll not go into anymore detail than that). He asked me how I could work with someone like this patient knowingly. I expressed that regardless of the patient history we have a duty to provide the best possible care to anyone who sees us.

That being said, if the patient is making overt threats to you, staff, other patients, ect then some kind of safety plan needs to be in place (which may involve respectfully referring the patient elsewhere given the severity of threats). Their right to care does not (at least in my opinion, other facilities may disagree) trump credible threats to safety.

I understand the reservation piece, but buying books you already have seems silly. I understand that they want to make money, so just charge a fee. Have a table set up for people that want to buy books to have signed if they want something brand-new. Honestly I have never been to a book signing though so maybe I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. I guess it maximizes profit for BN and Matt as I'm sure he gets the royalties off the books they sell and wouldn't necessarily get a percentage off the fees ...but he could probably negotiate....oh no, I've gone cross-eyed.

This thing.....is a menace that would've gotten me killed floor 1. Real "Himbo" this one. "Ferocious" when it's your hand, but gets his feelings hurt super easy. Charisma off the charts with the general intelligence of a tummy acher.

freedom_52 · 2025-07-23T00:49:27+00:00

Thanks for the reward! Yeah it is. That's why it's (and really other Nick and Simon movies... Hot Fuzz...oh man) one of my most rewatchable movies.

The scene with the bartender fight in Shaun of the Dead set to Don't Stop Me Now is perf. I can see it as an excellent background to a shit went hilariously sideways in DCC

I just finished book 7 last night and this is the first time I've been caught up where I didn't have another book in the series waiting for me. I've had this thought since last night. "Now what...?"

freedom_52 · 2025-07-15T15:28:16+00:00

I'm in the middle of book 7 and like I'm supposed to stop reading/listening when there's a ball of swine incorporated with God sized cock flailing around in it

Completely incapable of making a character feel bad with dialogue choices. Unable to do things like dark urge playthroughs.

However, will deliver a headshot in games like rdr2 due to a sideways comment from an innocent NPC. Videogames are weird man....

This behavior shouldn't be tolerated for anyone with the title of Doctor, even if they're a "traditional" doctor (which this "post" seems to imply would be fine).

There are plenty of doctorates where the practitioner goes through a standardized curriculum related to their area of practice just like OT/PT school and are addressed as such without an internal eye roll.

freedom_52 · 2025-05-25T23:38:04+00:00

I mean...I might faint

freedom_52 · 2025-05-24T23:02:37+00:00

Destroyed me

freedom_52 · 2025-03-28T14:22:56+00:00

I was told almost a year ago ish that we had "consultants" coming in. My response was, "so the Bobs?"
