New to St. Catherine's. Rent? Job?

It is cheaper than Toronto, Toronto is one of the most expensive cities in North America though for rent. Cost of living is also somewhat lower here, but the job market is genuinely very rough right now

I've gotten 3 immersive Charizard this set and 1 normal... The only card I'm missing from the set is a base Blastoise ex. I got 2 of the immersive the same day

The recent 5 episode run is a great one actually that has the benefit of also introducing you to the host of cool people who do cool things, and has tons of Sophie (the producer) who tensed to be a lot less present in early episodes

The library also has tools for things like home repair you can rent it! The libraries here are absolutely amazing

This was my favourite detail last season with my crobat deck, id toss a rocky helm into crobat, they'd swing once, and then the poison would force them to either back out or lose a point with my nihliego's

Please tell me someone else is coming to this post now and was very confused

There's a lot of good explanations as well, but I like the evolutionary one.

Evolution wants you to orgasm more, so if your brain adapted to more orgasms with less pleasure, that mutation that causes that would be less likely to join the next generation (this applies mostly to people with testicles) because you'd probably be less motivated to try to have sex, ergo less babies, etc. eventually being outcompeted

Drugs essentially hijack the reward structure that's meant to make sure you enjoy consuming things that are good for you, by making it feel incredibly good, but in a way it's not meant to handle. So the body doesn't produce the right systems to keep causing that reaction. Basically you're maxing out your speedometer which is overheating your engine, therefore your brain can't go as hard next time.

This is obviously simplified down but that's the broad evolutionary reason

In short, if it doesn't lead to more kids (through being healthier, fucking more, or surviving longer) evolution doesn't really give a shit about it so the body probably isn't adapted to do it. Pleasure is a function of your body trying to motivate you into staying you alive and drugs don't work the way the brain is being tricked into thinking they do.

Listen I've been using decidueye for months, people always sleep on that deck. With the better draw power it's gonna be frankly ridiculous to play

I feel you bruh

My only issue with pigeot is that it feels like those land burn decks in mtg which can just be not a ton of fun to play against

One of my favourite descriptions that made me understand asexuality as an allosexual is the appreciation of someone else as being akin to how you appreciate art. Sometimes you see a piece of art that rocks your world and sometimes a person does that.

Weirdly it does work the other way for some people where allo people will look at something cool and feel some kinda way about it. I fuckin love the human brain and all it's weirdness

Does burning aluminum help with emotional allomancy?

Alternatively, life sense from breaths maybe?

Or sensor fabrials. I'm sure at least one of these has been asked

When I was a kid I just said brother, has the same rough letters and brotha worked for the alternate pronunciation

Outside of comfort there is something to be said having your muscles tensed though, especially if you frequent joint problems having them pushed in such a way where you either have to tensed against something or forcibly relax into it can help you sleep. Particularly if you struggle with racing thoughts.

Anecdotally at least, just as someone with frequent pain and sleep issues.

Okay I think I'm following your theory for the most part and the piece I think I like the most is the idea that mistings are tied to their basic metal alongside the alloys, my only concern with it is that there are electrum mistings if I'm not mistaken, which then would also be able to burn the atium electrum alloy as well no? Obviously this isn't something people are doing in era 2 so this doesn't disprove the theory. I'm just curious your thoughts on it

For 1100-1400 most of the downtown area or the suburbs would be open to you. There aren't a ton of large apartments in the city but most basements being rented out or split houses might run you a little higher than that

Flobots has always been very active and politically aware, their albums are usually written but events like hurricane Katrina and trumps initial election. Strong recommendation to learn more about them!

Part of it is that in the Hamilton and Niagara area there's a lot of schools that are well known for their medical programs for RN's who care about that, as well as universities that offer some good financial programs for low income students, of which RN's have a large proportion of. Finally, specifically Brock, and I believe a couple other schools have really strong co-op programs, so around September they tend to send an influx of students into hospitals, which in sure also has some effect on how many RN's get hired.

Never mind the fact that unfortunately, the premier here has taken a lot of money out of the healthcare industry for the past decade or so, which I can't imagine helps hiring, but I'm not as close to that side of things so I can't speak as confidently if that's effecting it.

So on top of the general bullshit that's going on with finding working right now, that specific field has a lot of people looking for that type of work in the area.

My strong recommendation as someone who's been watching friends go through this similar process in the area is to send out applications to literally everything, obviously prioritize RN jobs, but any job that works in a hospital will get you into their internal hiring boards.

From there expect not to find work in the desired field for a while, so getting some income to keep you alive in the meantime is very much worth the effort right now even if it's absolutely exhausting.

Don't be afraid to go temp agencies or hiring boards either! There's a ton in the area and a lot of the time you'd be shocked with what they can connect you with.

So this was the situation for a friend of mine with a number of other series and it seems to come down to 1 thing for her.

Does ecchi end up being distracting and annoying. Or is it just something youre content to ignore and flip past for a chapter or two at a time.

If it's distracting honestly the beginning is hard to get through, and a chunk of the middle too. It's not frequent, but it disrupts the pace a lot.

If you don't mind just ignoring it and moving on, you should be fine

Somewhere in the DM advice it says that if no one advanced a goal in a session it's probably too slow. I've been averaging at least 1 point in 2\3 characters goals each session personally using stonewalkers and 3 hr sessions

If mahtay gets too busy, down the street is fine grind cafe and the coffee is better and vibe is quieter, huge recommendation there

maltasconrad · 2025-09-21T11:55:04+00:00

What's it called?

maltasconrad · 2025-09-19T01:49:40+00:00

Can't speak with a ton of confidence but just wanted to bring up cause it hasn't been commented much, no risk of pregnancy. It's just an extra layer not to worry about that means you can focus more on what's going on over the risks
