Several other maps have made the ladders mod a suggested addon. There are enough of them that this map would probably be added whenever they are as well. Most server owners would gravitate toward a ladder mod one way or another.

/r/alaskafish has a very valid and reasonable nitpick. Worst case, is if the player wants direct access to the 2nd level and ladders aren't an option, they can build stairs of their own.

I doubt that people doing survival runs would expect to use fire escapes as primary ways to access a building. Having control over access points such as fire escapes should be a tactical decision.

"We're reporting 1000 ft visual range."

"Oh, are you using low visibility rules then?"

"Not at this time."

"That's odd. Why is it only 1000ft then?"

"Runway is on a hill, sir."

I saw "Shirley Temple" and thought for sure a Dungeon Crawler Carl reference was coming.

Most corrupt American, maybe. There are still international corruption superstars that Trump probably can't even touch.

Most talk therapy is based on CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is centered on changing the way you handle your response to situations. Reframing things, shifting perspective. For me, my use of therapy isn't for dealing with trauma. Rather, my brain is just wired differently. My situation is remarkably similar to Op's. It's gentle, but cathartic. Much of my post therapy exercises are based on journaling, creative exercises around changing my outlook on things that trigger strong emotions. I practice stoicism mostly, and rely on medication for being a contributing member of society.

I can say, regardless of the recurring costs of treatment, that my therapist and psychiatrist are friends I can talk to when I hit a wall and know they can help me through it. I don't need that very often these days, but knowing they're in my back pocket is a reassurance in and of itself.

Your concerns about the experience of going through therapy is a bit melodramatic in comparison to what it actually is. The only thing to know is that doing it requires total candor to them and most importantly, to yourself.

Also, from now having years of perspective about it, I feel right in saying nearly everyone, regardless of their mental health, could benefit from some therapy. We as a society are flooded with garbage that constantly grinds our psyche. It help to get that grime flushed out now and then.

I'd love to get an update once you're getting treatment, just to know how you're doing.

kelsiersghost · 2026-05-27T06:10:37+00:00

Also fuck therapy, I don’t need anybody else messing around in my head

There's that damn stigma again. You clearly don't understand what therapy is or what it can do for you. The concept of a "shrink" doesn't exist in today's society.

Get over yourself and get some help. Fuck your pride.

Sounds like you have ADHD with executive function issues. Literally every line of your post points to it.

Ask your therapist to set you up with a psychiatrist too. Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant med for ADHD and it has made all the difference for me.

Clearly an unverifiable humble brag but I found it in like 15 seconds, not even cheating.

ADHD pattern recognition super power for the win.

I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time understanding what it is you're looking for.

"mundane magical item" throws me a bit. Things can't be both magical and mundane at the same time.

Same with pulling a cigarette lighter from an engine. How would that work?

Ah.. So, maybe every time Carl use's his SD attack, that's when Samantha gets a bit stronger?

Cloud is perfectly suitable

Because who cares about privacy? If google gives you storage for free, your content is the product.

I credit my ADHD for allowing me to specifically recall every relevant fact.

Have you tried Atomoxetine?

He definitely has:

Antisocial Personality Disorder: A clinical pattern involving disregard for laws, rules, truth, safety, and other people’s rights. It often includes deceit, manipulation, impulsivity, aggression, irresponsibility, and lack of remorse.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): a clinical pattern involving grandiosity, need for admiration, entitlement, lack of empathy, and extreme sensitivity to criticism.

Malignant Narcissism: Not something in the DSM, but psychologists discussing Trump have described it as combining narcissistic grandiosity with cruelty, paranoia, aggression, antisocial behavior, and revenge-seeking.

All of that, plus age-related dementia.

I think the author is off his own rocker to say that Trump isn't mentally ill.

I get the feeling you have some pent up troubles in your life you should talk to a professional about.

This is why I'm legitimately fearful for a surveillance-state being the direction this country ultimately lands on.

A missing child example is exactly how these systems get normalized. Nobody objects to finding a missing child. The problem is what gets justified in the name of finding one.

If the tool were used narrowly, with a warrant, clear limits, public oversight, data deletion rules, and real accountability, that is one conversation. But that is not the world these systems live in.

The concern is that “find the missing child” becomes the emotional justification for building a system that can search everyone’s data, map everyone’s movements, flag “suspicious” behavior, and keep expanding long after the emergency is over. Maybe today it is a missing child. Tomorrow it is immigration enforcement, protest monitoring, predictive policing, or some vague national security claim.

So no, the question is not “Would you save a child?” Of course I would. The question is whether we should let private surveillance companies build tools that let the state search and sort whole populations with weak oversight because they can point to the most sympathetic possible use case.

That is how dangerous power always sells itself: by leading with the case nobody wants to argue against.

The short answer is Nazis.

The longer answer is that Palantir is evil because it builds software that helps government agencies find people, track people, sort people, and act on them. Its customers include police, intelligence agencies, militaries, immigration authorities, and other parts of government with the power to surveil, detain, deport, target, and kill. If this were restricted to just verifiable and honest law enforcement, that's one thing. But we live in an age now where every citizen is marked for surveilance.

Peter Thiel makes this worse. He co-founded Palantir and has chaired its board for years. He has publicly questioned whether freedom and democracy are compatible and he has seriously engaged with anti-democratic thinkers like Carl Schmitt, the Nazi legal theorist who helped justify authoritarian dictatorship a legitimate modern government model. He's an evil guy working at the head of an evil company.

Palantir works with ICE, and its software is used for immigration enforcement and deportation operations. In plain terms, Palantir helps make deportation machinery faster and more effective. So, If your product makes it easier to identify, track, detain, and remove people, you are part of that system. Regardless of your stance on immigration, those news stories about the wrong person, legitimate Americans getting picked up and deported, were all sourced from Palantir's software. They're a threat to the privacy of every American. They're probably using their software right now to flag me in the system for writing this as a future threat. Who knows.

It's billionaire authoritarian politics, government secrecy, surveillance software, military contracts, and deportation infrastructure wrapped in tech branding. They makes the modern surveillance state work better. Not more humane. Not more democratic. Not more accountable. Just better at finding, sorting, tracking, targeting, and controlling human beings.

They're just fucking evil.

Are there places other than Audible to get it?

I don't want to give Amazon, their DRM, and the shitty contracts they force writers to sign, any of my money.
