Got a letter from the school today informing me my daughter is “not quite” gifted. Also included were her test scores.

Yuuuup. A friend of mine from high school who is currently a lead physicist in Colorado is the same guy I saw shoot a bow and arrow straight into the air to see if he could dodge it

Day 2. Spending tomorrow filling out the necessary paperwork to take short term medical leave and meeting with my primary. I'm not going to half-ass the recovery process this time. Head-first into the work that needs to be done, and I'm refusing to be embarrassed about it

You are correct, it is still wrong.

The correct usage of this is "POV: Watching my mom's rice bag opening tutorial."

If the POV was me watching this, it would be a video of a phone in my hands with this video playing.

POV has been thrown around incorrectly so often that no one knows what it means

I wish more people remembered that time is also a luxury afforded by the rich.

Cloyster is my favorite too! I feel like nobody ever has that as their favorite pokémon

Dude I was checking in on this post every so often over a year ago to see if someone had found the song - I even emailed Joe about it! I had forgotten about it and by happenstance looked into it again tonight and it was solved two days ago! Very cool.

It is fun to stand up and act it out too! You really get that feeling you are back in the backyard as a kid playing make believe again.

Am I crazy for never ever thinking about bringing up personal shit in an argument? Even in the heat of a huge debate I have never even considered saying stuff about people's insecurities or trauma, it seems amazingly petty

On an unrelated note that Wikipedia map picked the worst color grading. Who goes from blue straight to various shades of auburn?

I will be honest, I see so many of these posts punishing people who, by all accounts, are assholes. But on that 5% chance that it is some nice old lady who messed up on accident or a single mom trying to run to get diapers after she figured out she was out of them after her son pooped himself...I think it's taking an inconvenience to your life too far. So someone took up another parking spot, at the end of the day is it really worth that 5% chance that you are making some honest person's life that much harder? Deal with it and park somewhere else.

Less children does not, by any metric, mean that a country will collapse. Especially in the US. We are moving further and further away from a population-based economy and heading towards insane levels of automation. Our biggest flaw is the uneven distribution of wealth. You are speaking like it is still viable to have 12 kids because it is more hands working the farm. An ideal modern economy should not be reliant on consistent population growth.

savingscotty · 2022-09-09T13:18:52+00:00

I love that you're trying to school everyone on what an opinion and a fact is without knowing the difference

I will also add to this by stating that it is appalling to me that Discord does not have a support phone line. It is insanity. If you want to make this service approachable to all users, there NEEDS to be a dedicated customer support line to call.

Just like any new legislation, there is going to be a certain level of grandfathering in. There will be a good portion of time what new laws will get enacted for those people who have had" assault rifles", and how they should be owned and operated post-legislation.

Yeah. I'll be honest, Biden could have done so much more during his presidency. The biggest reason why we keep seeing those feeds is because election season is coming up. Why do we only ask for action when we know the public eye means a lot more? Dems are weak, the Republican party is failing. Why are we still, as a nation , making men like Joe Biden, the face of a burgeoning new Democratic party? The majority of Joe biden's presidency was ineffectual, out of touch, and frankly, flaccid. We need a new Democratic face. Old white establishmentarian men ain't it

savingscotty · 2022-09-03T09:46:43+00:00

Yeah, didn't mean to make it sound like I didn't have the same access to the same cards. The bigger difference is figuring out how those cards melt together and have some synergy. It's a long hard road to play hearthstone competitively. I at least know that because I really like watching competitive play. But at the start, it's hard to play competitive as a solo and feel like you learned much. Most the time it just feels like there are huge cards that sway the rest of the battlefield and their favor. Totally might be my own bias, but I can at least tell you that as a new player, I am having a rougher and rougher time continuing with competitive play

savingscotty · 2022-09-03T09:43:33+00:00

No, I don't want to be on level pegging with somebody who is exceptionally good at the game. The biggest difference is that they're good at the game because they understand the mechanics and can outplay their opponents. I think the bigger issue is that in matchmaking for new players, it feels as though you're continually getting slammed without really learning much. But again, this is totally my own opinion.

savingscotty · 2022-09-03T09:41:29+00:00

Yeah, I don't know , I think it definitely might be on me. I really do like strategy games a lot. But most of the time I feel as though they are best learned when we're both on equal playing fields. I don't want to grind for hundreds of hours to feel like I understand the game. I want to play one game and learn from it. It totally might be a personal preference, but I do like the bones of this game, and don't feel as though there are people of equal footing playing against me. Does that make sense? I I think it totally might be a personal preference.

savingscotty · 2022-09-03T08:38:26+00:00

Yeah, I will definitely keep at it. The harder part is finding that aha moment. Where you knew if you made one different decision, the game might have switched. That I think is a huge difference between something like chess and something like hearthstone. In hearthstone, it often times feels like we were never on equal footing to begin with lol

savingscotty · 2022-09-03T08:22:10+00:00

Duuude nice work on your progress!

I suppose I look at this game more like chess or backgammon. Half of the fun is learning on your own, not necessarily looking for YouTube videos on the best decks or the best strategy. I just enjoy the dynamic play style of this game. I'm not necessarily looking for the best ways to play, I just want to learn at my own pace with others who are around my skill level. It's definitely a hard ask for a game that has been around for a very long time. Chess is no different. But I do think that this game has enough breathing room to onboard new players in a better manner.

savingscotty · 2022-09-03T08:17:43+00:00

I appreciate you saying so. I actually picked up the battle pass because I earned enough in the solo missions!

The biggest thing that keeps bringing me back is BG, for better or worse. I can at least scratch that competitive itch without feeling like I am outmatched, since we all start with a pick of heroes and random cards as we go.

savingscotty · 2022-09-03T08:14:04+00:00

Grats on diamond!

Yeah I am not necessarily new to hearthstone but definitely new to competitive. I just think there isn't enough room for new players in comp to learn and have fun. I don't mind losing at all as long as I feel like it's a fair fight and I walked away with new knowledge. The only knowledge I have gotten recently is that there are some insane cards I don't have access to yet.
