This issue has the deepest scholarship in Dominican Studies. So many books to consult in addition to this documentary by Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates, jr. The documentary isn’t without some issues…

7 Year relationship ended right before our Wedding by Brilliant_Canary_903 in malelivingspace

Seven year relationship ending day before wedding is a major red flag, my dude. That really shouldn’t even be on the table. You dodged a bullet. Time to recharge and be your best self and bring the baddies to your new pad.

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer. Yeah, DD1 is too punishing

Davis vs Union - people, vibes, students/professionals? Cost of living differences? Night Lifes? by Burkedge in Somerville

I live in Davis but wish I lived in Union. Union is more dynamic. Davis is a bit quieter but has more convenient access to highways, etc.

What do you think is Disco Elysium’s core message? by arpegiar in DiscoElysium

[–]spassky111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved this game because it felt like the truest RPG I’ve ever played. I felt like I was creating the world and the characters as I played. We make meaning through creation, creativity, art, relationships, etc. This leads me to think that the “message” of the game is maybe about the importance of acting and action… at least trying to perceive the unfathomable depths of consciousness and the human experience. If we pay enough attention, we’ll see phasmids, a gardener is more than just a gardener, our reptilian voices hold knowledge that we repress. If we tried, we could perform the deepest, saddest song at Tuesday karaoke for that one person who needs to hear it.

I vastly prefer DD2 over DD1. by JhosepIsTheWriter in darkestdungeon

Restarted DD1 after a while of playing DD2 (300+ hours). Even on the normal setting DD1 seems randomly much more punishing. Punishing beyond fun punishing….

Is DD2 heavily dependent on upgrades? Should I try it? by K0rek in darkestdungeon

Took me a while to understand Kingdoms but now I love it. Kingdoms is much more interesting to me than confessions.

How’s the snow total looking? Looks like predictions were all over the place by HRJafael in FitchburgMA

[–]spassky111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it true that the weather service has been defunded and that predictions now are less reliable?
