My PCP recommended me to a specialist office that does neurological testing at scale, so I was able to get through it all pretty quickly. I asked about it at my yearly insurance physical in March, got an appointment for online testing on the 3rd, and got my results two weeks later. I was surprised by how easy it was. I have pretty good insurance from my job.

Here's the specialist I used

I'm not sure if they take patients outside Michigan or not, but everything I did was remote, so I don't see why they couldn't. Their reviews on Google are bad, but my experience was great, and I've had friends say good things about another doctor also at this practice

Asking someone to write fantasy without putting their own lived experience into the writing would be counterproductive anyway. Good characters should have a little bit of yourself in them

Listen, my 9/11 Rogue/Sorcerer just hit level 10, so he can spend sorcery points to subtract d8 damage! I promise, he's viable! 😭

I've definitely found that I do better when I can keep 100 different things balanced against each other. It gives me somewhere to go when I hit a wall. It can obviously get overwhelming when something goes wrong though

I feel this big time. I go to sleep with an audiobook on, so I have something to focus on. Otherwise, it takes me forever to sleep, because my brain keeps distracting me

It's not a cheat code, you're enriching yourself! Could very well be exactly what your anxiety needs!

You don't even need the dice! I was definitely gambling last session when I attuned to a prosthetic eye filled with the trapped souls of everyone that's ever used it. It gives me 60 feet of Truesight though!

Got a Scroll of Prestidigitation as a joke item, but I saved it, and eventually found a use for it, allowing my character to avoid the use of a public bathhouse, which was great for him due to personal issues.

The scroll became a running joke, everyone would always laugh about, "Oh, if we only had a Scroll of Prestidigitation!" whenever we fall into a sewer or something. So when he got his next cantrip, at level up, there was really only one choice

We have been trying to reach you about your law's extended warranty

This is the second, and more promising, time chemicals associated with life have been detected in the planet's atmosphere by Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

I thought I'd remembered reading about this before. Sounds like just a couple more years, and they'll be sure this gas is there, which is huge, but not totally conclusive.

Personally, I'd bet it's life. A big rocky planet with an ocean of phytoplankton sounds like our best bet for finding it. The scientists in the article are trying really hard not to be excited

The solution is obviously creating dire sloths

It's the Emperor's New Clothes. Their perceptions of reality are so warped, that they think they look great

Yoooo!! Finally!!! I remember seeing the scars on a whale from their hooks as a kid, and being amazed that something like that could exist. Finding out no one had ever seen one alive devastated little 2nd grade me lol

So glad they decided to use this, rather than the Internet connection that came with the White House

As long as the Clown episode doesn't come on 😨

I like the idea that they're not just symbols, but shapes. Get anything to be shaped like a rune, and it'll touch magic. So two rocks leaned against each other just right might create a trickle of water, or a tree that grows a twisted enough web of branches could, by chance, summon a flame. Then, like with all natural phenomenon, people figured it out! It fits well with the trope that wizards are arcane researchers and scientists, you find in settings like D&D's

"I'm an accountant and I use a calculator, so all artists should have to use photoshop."

Is this a thing for knees? Every once in a while, my knees just pop out of their sockets. It's incredibly painful, and I have to move them back by hand. I went to a doctor when I was like 18 though, and they took an x-ray, and couldn't find anything

I agree with all of this, and I think it's the right choice. You don't have to immediately come out as the brave warrior of what is right, but you can absolutely speak up, in all kinds of ways. Even just starting with, "Hey, this line doesn't sound right, I think it would make more sense if it said 'gender' here," could be helpful. If they insist, ask why.

Everyone's individual circumstances are going to be different, but there's definitely something you can do. The pressure you're feeling is exactly what the fascists want you to bow to, but most of the people you work with aren't fascists. You might be surprised how much change you can make
