For anyone else wondering: The bird on the left seems to be a (female) Brown-headed cowbird, found in North America, while the one on the right is a common cuckoo, found in Africa, Europe and Asia.
I took some classes in high school and only recently got back into it, and I’d consider myself..averageish? I know where I need improvements and I see the quirks and wonks, so to speak.
The people in my adult life who have seen my sketchbook make (positive) comments, which surprised me. Still, it’s nice.
We probably have different understandings of the word “libertarian,” from what I’m reading.
I’m referring to the people who would also label themselves “anarcho-capitalists,” as the literal definition of libertarianism isn’t typically associated with the term. I put it in quotes since capitalism by design leads to and encourages hierarchy (private ownership etc etc). No, commerce/trade is not the same and is as about as old as written history itself.
I’m also autistic and have been ostracized for “wrong” behavior. When I say “pro social” I mean mutual aid, genuine compassion and actually treating other humans with respect for their immutable traits (beliefs like bigotry don’t count). I do not mean masking or “fitting in.” Unfortunately we do get unfairly judged and that’s bad. But - we also are generally capable of finding and forming our own groups.
Sovereign utopia building as a whole has its own set of issues, but that’s not what was specifically being addressed. Socialist policies in general improve the wellbeing of the respective societies they’re applied to, though.
When everyone is out for themselves, the very basics of civilization collapse.
Empathy and pro social behavior are key to our survival and evolution as a species. Oligarchs and unbridled greed are a violation and exploitation of the social contract and bottleneck progress and healthy societal functioning.
The Bioshock games weren’t just spun up out of nowhere.
I was on long release dex combo (Adderall) for a while and it gave me the “drive” like you mentioned. But it screwed with my sleep and I had to get away from it since I reacted badly to the fillers in generics. I also found certain formulations wore off fast and left me with the infamous “ADHD crash” and made my afternoons and nights miserable. This is down to individual brain chemistry, though.
On a long release Ritalin now and my brain is quiet too. I don’t necessarily get the “reward” from starting or finishing tasks and have to push myself to initiate but once the process is started I’m okay.
For comparison unmedicated the whole thing is like walking through glass barefoot and soaking my feet in lemon juice after.
You might be able to get a dual script, depending on where you live. Like have Dex first thing in the AM, then short acting Ritalin later in the day to keep even. Only way to know is to ask your psych.
TL;DR (compiled from additional research as well): Professional level designer Jos van Laar recreates mission “Scuttling the U-529” from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault in Unreal Engine 5 as part of his portfolio. There is no download available for the level, but Nathan Silvers, the original level designer for the game had high praise - though is labeled as “this user” in the linked article.
EDIT: Leaving this up for clarity, but I did in fact read the wrong link from the post. The above commenter is correct. Carry on and have a good day.
Clearly the driver had no bad intentions.
I hate to break it to you, but:
Jerry Guy, the man who hit the family and never stopped, reportedly admitted drinking "a little" alcohol earlier in the day. He also admitted to being on painkillers and being partially blind in one eye.
Guy had been convicted of two previous hit and run accidents. He pleaded guilty to the hit and run that took A.J.'s life and served six months in jail.
In a world without cars this man wouldn’t have killed a child with his decisions. But this is still gross negligence, especially the multiple hit-and-run charges.
I do agree that if anything this is a great case for pushing public transit and eliminating car centrism. But to not stop/pull over, multiple times, is its own level of selfishness.
The open floor plan was the beginning of our demise.
Almighty Profit Motive(TM) forbid we proles find any semblance of joy in our lives and - gasp - interact with the physical world around us in any meaningful and engaged way!
No, we must be deprived of all dopamine outside of our designated corporate brainrot centers.
Hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths all because of the power-hungry egos of an elite few (specifically Putin and his oligarchs, not the Ukrainian people defending themselves).
The first to call for these wars should be the first on the front lines. Fuckers.
