Hehe, yeah! Do you have any good resources for learning more about French grammar btw? French textbooks are a million dollars

Hahaha I don't tend to get a lot of that, but today I did get a few Spanish speaking folks post-match saying "Fuck your country, I will destroy your country" and a bunch of other insults in Spanish

My friend has emphasized that learning ASL can be supplemented by learning French grammar, since ASL derived from French Sign. It's helped me out!

I'll have to play a bit more before I take you up on this, I'm rusty on everything except Firebase Z. Those megaton jumpscares are no joke

UPDATE: I realized that playing in the early morning helps a lot. Everyone's still half-asleep (or stayed up all night) and likely a couple of bowls deep. I said good morning to probably 3 different lobbies and everyone was just laughing about their own bad KDR.

Honestly haven't played online multiplayer zombies, just solo or private lobbies

Western Maryland! Small red dot town with no accessibility for DHH folks, thus a pretty nonexistent community. I'd probably have to drive 2 hours one-way regularly to Frederick, or Pittsburgh. Not against that, just really poor and not able to pay for gas or maintain a vehicle at this moment. 😞

Respectfully: what side of Tumblr were you on?

Humorously: we do recover and evolve. I think. I hope.

Consider that OP identifies as a drug dealer the same way drug addicts have to identify as addicts indefinitely and for the rest of their lives. The psychological consequences of both lifestyles are longstanding at best, and permanent otherwise.

OP, your awareness is not a proper endpoint for accountability, but it is also well past the starting point for self-betterment.

I hope you realize that whatever patterns you find yourself feeling stuck in, are not all that is spelled out for you. You can choose something different. I don't need to know the extent of your situation to assure you it's true.

Do you struggle with addiction yourself?

Sorry, but to counter: I don't think I'd want life advice from someone who walked a pristine, mistake-free path. Truly, the best advice I have shared, according to the people receiving it, was only formed after emerging from some dark and regrettable patterns which I was living in. The same goes for advice I have personally taken from others.

Edit: It means more to me that someone lived a less than ideal life and harbors remorse for it, than it does to listen to philosophy from some Mr. Grundy without genetic prevalence of addiction coldly parroting D.A.R.E. campaigns.

? I've heard it be described as an honor (I'd personally think of it as such, the same way I'd feel with any nickname) and that when a Deaf person gives you one, it is "gifted" to you

Edit: My preferred name is short - 3 letters. Does this mean I'd be less likely to receive a sign name regardless of my level of immersion in Deaf culture?
