Quillnote is my pick, I just wish they let you indent list items- I'm used to using Keep to organize all the junk in my brain, and indentations were super helpful for that
Every time I'm struggling to deal with greif, or someone in my life is, I always come back to this post from many years ago on reddit by a user called gsnow (it was in reply to a redditors friend dying, they were asking how they could cope with the pain of that loss):
Alright, here goes. I'm old. What that means is that I've survived (so far) and a lot of people I've known and loved did not. I've lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can't imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here's my two cents.
I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see.
As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.
In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.
Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out.
Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks.
(Back to being written by me) aside from making sure you're using healthy methods to cope (DBT has some really helpful coping skills in its "distress tollerance" section that I've used more times than I can count. DBT is a particular school of psychotherapy, like CBT), find yourself a therapist so you have some support with the process. I'm sending love from my corner of the world
Thats genuinely fascinating! I love hearing about that kinda stuff, its always really neat to hear the life experience that folks get and how it differs in different cultures.
If you were to ask for a salt shaker, do you feel like it would be offensive to the folks working there, or preparing your food?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of another culture with me ☺️
Gotcha. Good luck finding answers, and If you figure something out on your own time I'm sure folks would love it if you reported back with your findings. Hopefully someone has some helpful insight :)
Heavy edit is honestly cool as hell, I even love the way it looks (doesn't hurt that I love clear things, and pens and stationery lol) I should go try playing it a bit more and learn it before it probably gets a little bit of a nerf. I'd really love to have a tacticooler weapon I like playing, I adore support specials on weapons that can hold their own
And you should! Brella can be hard to learn but I think its supper rewarding when you find an outplay or save a teammate!
I'm so happy for the brella mains, they left things in a genuinely unplayable state for SO LOOOONNG. Honestly I hope they give you a couple more buffs still, having brellas in matches means that aoe weapons have a good matchup, and a brella on your team can really help you with hard matchups into shooters for certain weapons (like a lot of the ones I play 😅 lol)
I'm so glad y'all have a playable weapon again!!! Sending love from the blaster and slosher players! ☺️
Aw nice! The new ballpoint is cool, I need to spend a little more time playing it. Vacuum is honestly a blast, just hard to coordinate in solo que sometimes
Octobrush isn't for me but it seems like a fun kit!
A+ comment. It seems fun but I will say, a number of the people I've seen playing it just spam fizzybombs all match like cowards, and thats obnoxious. I'm here for there just being some fun kits though. If hammer gets a buff I actually think its a good fit for the weapon, but right now you have to hope there isn't a splatling or like a splatershot pro in the match if you wanna use your special without just dying
This is probably overkill, but if you can't find an app that'll do what you want, this would be pretty easy to set up in tasker or macro droid. I have something similar but more complex set up for myriad medication reminders
You don't want your ui to be 1980s beige, but like if the plastic has been sitting in a smokers house? Weird.
But yeah, this is material you. Its a feature that makes apps match the colors of your wallpaper, and if you go to "wallpaper and style" in the settings app (at least on my pixel 3, its possible it'd be somewhere else on a phone from a different manufacturer, or potentially even newer phones from google) you can pick other color options
Yeah, thats about when I play a lot of times and I was surprised they were doing "server maintenance"- but then clicked on "details" to find out the server was actually down, not like planned maintenance, which made a bit more sense.
How old is the filament? If you've had it a long time perhaps its taken on too much water (once things get to a certain point it can irreversibly make the filament print poorly, even if you try to dry it)
I'm not super knowledgeable myself, but I hope someone here is able to provide useful guidance
