Uuuunfortunately, that turned out to be an easily-accessible post that was barely chopped up probably for brevity more than anything else. Wasn't one of their students, it was some 8yr old at their apartment complex.
Dunno if you're from there or defensively made assumptions, but the MAP community was gonna come out fairly quick regardless and go over just as well.
Depends on the life, I would think.
I was actually gonna say my peak was 23 because 1.5 months later, I'd just gotten my first place with my then-fiance. But that was also after nearly a decade of being completely homeless, so yeah, that can tip the scales a bit. It was a first place, not a nice place, and we didn't always have food and running water. It was more me just not caring much about those things.
And then I remembered how freeing it was to leave after he metamorphosed into a drunk little cheating piece of shit. Very exciting. Had a solid support system for the first time ever. Aceing college despite never having been to high school. Happy cried a few times.
So I'm gonna call it at 28 and it's all downhill from here, but OP needs to remember Life sometimes happens and it isn't a cookie cutter TV sitcom.
I can be well into my 30s with no driver's license because I missed the whole "Loving parents teach me to drive to high school" situation. I was eating out of a garbage can out back behind the Food Lion and sleeping in a park when that was supposed to happen. But I could also just go get one.
Mad because America still has access to trees, huh.
More seriously, the coastal county near me has seen 15 hurricanes make landfall in the past 35 years. Of those, 9 have been a category 2 or higher. You guys in your latitude get little tornadoes and some half-hearted shaky-shake that barely even registers, not earthquakes and hurricanes.
Unless your windowless, single-story house composed of 8in. of reinforced, perfectly uncracked concrete comes with an identical roof like a bomb shelter, I would strongly recommend weathering it out with whichever distant family member will take you. Anything above a Cat. 1 can just rip the ceiling off and stone in an earthquake stands a chance of aerating your skull, for all the expense you put into building it.
Brick in particular is fucking terrible for this. This is one of the reasons every now and then, you'll see a stone building totalled while a wooden one down the street sits untouched. Wood's pretty flexible and natural disasters are weird.
Also, lol you live in a fancy oven you can't even renovate and you'll be dead long before I am
I'd give it 3-4 years. Maybe five if they're sturdy, but not a decade.
And yet, we continue to live directly, knowingly in the path of multiple hurricanes every year instead of simply moving. I always thought going into the construction business around the Outer Banks must be a money cheat.
Isn't/wasn't there a chocolate and m&m pizza as a type of Lunchable? I could swear I remember them from middle school.
I was right and this is just a giant, adult version of standard educational fare nobody would bat an eye at. What the fuck are we doing.
That's either a giant olive or a grape, btw, and either one of those is not acceptable.

If I understand, the argument is that someone who doesn't want to be spoiled for endings should...look at a headline purported to be specifically about endings, and then read the article to see if it's about endings, which they are not going to do because there is an extraordinarily high chance it's exactly what it says it is in big letters, and any failure to voluntarily read spoilers they don't want to be spoiled for is then a failure on the part of the player?
That feels like reaching. Would rather not be mean. I think people stranded on top of zombie infested buildings whose only method of escape is a single in-use helicopter have reached less.
This is just a justification to brush off anyone who opens their mouth at all, because were there a reader who did for some reason want to click on every headline they didn't want to know about in order to make sure they shouldn't have clicked on it, that would definitely still be something that is their fault once they saw anything they shouldn't.
Even leaving aside why someone would do that, the OP made the conscious decision to post it like they did.
They could have tipped everyone off to the clickbait. They could have used a spoiler tag if they didn't bother reading it or wanted to play into the clickbait. They chose to do neither. That has nothing to do with the journalistic integrity of online gaming mags. This was a personal mistake.
I have seen communities be shockingly good about respecting this. The Hades community especially is amazing and, though the game has been out now for so many years the sequel is nearing completion, they'd probably still just give you what bare advice they have to based on your current status and tell you to keep playing because "trust me."
I don't know why the bg3 community wants to pretend it's impossible and out of their hands, while swearing it shouldn't matter anyway. It very well is, and for a game this stunning, it absolutely does.
Unless you've forcibly seen most of them and you can pick out what moments go where because x action, or you have this one singular shred of information that happens to be the integral piece to draw together an entire arc.
Earlier this week, I was listening to music on YouTube and saw a thumbnail that told me exactly what was up with the tadpoles. Not even the title. I don't remember what the title was. It was written on the thumbnail in giant glaring yellow letters.
If I am to play this game. I cannot have access to the internet in any conceivable way. I had thought this problem only extended to forums and news sights, places that were fairly obvious and thus easily avoided, but it's the entire internet when you least expect it.
I'm a third of the way into act 2 and the only teammates whose important plot moments and/or multiple endings I don't know are Wyll and Lae'zel, and that's only because nobody likes them enough to be talking about them.
I have tried to avoid this shit at every turn. It's still a great game. It's fantastic. It would have been in my top 3 if I could have played the damn thing on my own. I fucking love picking things to shreds more than anything else and there are so many pressing unknowns and conflicting motivations that I'd be having the time of my life. You don't understand. I could write a whole thesis on any one of them.
But I know the answers already. I'm kind of convinced the reason I've found myself so much more attached to side characters like Mol, Oliver, etc. over most of the main story npcs is because they weren't important enough for anyone to ruin them for me.
I'd go for being the lich that is worshipped. Especially if it's whatever crush I have doing the worshipping
A russiaboo, unsure of the legal implications of stepping into someone else's country? More likely than you think.
Presumably inhabits planet with no rabid otters. Deliberately travels to planet with the rabid otters on it.
Since I feel the sudden urge to vent, I've never forgotten staying at this one homeless shelter several years ago.
We found out much later after the place was shut down that they'd actually been receiving more than adequate donations the entire time, but the staff was just taking it all home with them and telling us that there was no food to give. They could do one or sometimes two meals, but never much, never more, and not dependably from day to. They had none.
So obviously we believed them and since this was just...the position we were in, I was taking the money I was technically required by agreement to save for a place and using it to buy food for myself and anywhere from 1 to 4 of the other residents.
One of them was Gabriel, who came in with the clothes on his back and a guitar. Gabriel was religious, but one of the painfully few who put the kindness part first and he was very sweet and tended to be walked on for it and to become depressed for being taken advantage of.
When he took his guitar around looking for gigs, I went with him for moral support. When one of those was a church, I sat in with the flock even though the related trauma makes my skin crawl. When winter drew close, I bought him what I still think was a pretty snazzy jacket.
I split a meal almost daily for months, because I'm not going to see anyone hungry when I can afford it, even though none of us could really afford it and doing so was imperiling my future. When he found out the fiance he doted on was banging his best friend while he himself was homeless, guess who was there to cry on immediately.
I don't regret any of those, to be very clear. I'd grudgingly do it again, because people matter more. But to think to check up on him some years after we parted and find him thanking god for looking after him during that time was a direct slap in the face. Over a decade later, it still stings.
Of course it would be god. Looking after each other like sentient, suffering beings, that's god's doing, personally stepping in to work his mysterious ways. I only take the blame for the bad shit.
Happy couples are boring to watch, and LGBT in media at all is deemed scary and contentious.
What exactly is the takeaway with that reasoning. That it's acceptable to extrapolate as long as it's a popular depiction in media? For anyone that isn't a well-muscled, unusually pretty, straight, white, 30yr old high school student about whom a prophecy has been written, I don't think that's going to go well.
This was super funny to read from the depths of my covers with the cat sleeping on me. Probably it's just going to be my back hurts again if I don't move.
But she is sleeping, so this is not one of those decisions that is up to me. Know what you can control.
They are broke
You know how, especially because in ancient Greece court cases could be based more on individual character assessment than any physical evidence, people would gather in marketplaces and workshops or outright hire someone to spread gossip about their opponent? If you knew anything about anything, that was the place it would spread?
Women have the bathroom. The mere suggestion of taking a piss to avoid drama
Oh, you're the lifeblood of @gameart, aren't you? I tried to contribute once, but then my favorite screenshot I ever took never even federated at all and I got too discouraged.
Still sad about it, tbh. No idea if it would happen again or not. I should dig through my folders again. I don't think I have much, but I must have something
Normally I would say dub or nothing because I simply can't read that fast without missing what's onscreen. But for this show only, I'm going to say subs, if for nothing else then because closed captioning includes Boomhauer's lines.
Also, from everything I gather, fluent English doesn't come off to me as being a common thing in Japan. I'd love to be incorrect, but I've heard repeatedly that they mostly fall off again after high school and that their educational system looks down on errors so much they basically won't even risk asking questions, so they shrink from practicing verbally in front of actual speakers.
So the guy in the photo is a freeaboo
