Oh for sure. It can be tough to zoom out and see what is going on and what you are doing while in the midst of things. I struggle with this all the time. The advice I gave is what I do when I do it right. Doesn't mean I get it right all that often. But I'm getting better and I keep practicing.

To add to that from my experience I can even be angry for no good reason and at the same time logically think I shouldn't be. Even that doesn't make the feelings untrue. It just makes me know they might not be justified or reasonable. And feelings can be all that.

I think the whole true love thing is bullshit and I am in a very happy longterm relationship. But it's just love. Love is the feeling that it is. There is no true version of it. All love is the same. But relationships are not built on love alone. The true love concept makes it come across to me that way though. That if things don't work out your love just wasn't true enough. You just have to love harder and truer next time. It's even worse when the concept gets extended to there only being one true love per lifetime or whatever.

It's not that. Imo all love is created equal. It's the other factors that make things work or not work. Compatibility with the partner, how hard you try, how much you try, how mature you are. Honesty, trust. But also external factors such as how easy or hard life is at that time for you. Even the greatest relationships can fall apart in the shittiest of times. Doesn't make the love less true.

I'm not ranting. You're ranting.

Misinformation. I wonder how one could make that costume.

Catpitalism

I will usually just acknowledge it without giving an explanation. People will almost always accept that. Examples.

Oh I think I just got carried away there. Let's take a step back. Do you have any questions?

Hey I think I got a bit too excited about the project for a sec. I hope that wasn't too much.

It's usually fine and takes the awkwardness out of the situation if there was any. And it shows people you realized what was going on. That's usually all they need to hear. No apology and no justifications or explanations needed. I found those would often just make it worse rather than better. Just be brief and move on. The longer you stay in the topic of an awkward situation the more it will stay awkward.

Psychic troubles will sooner or later affect the body and might explain what the meme describes.

Hey I'm exceptional at something at last.

Into the Breach. Best Mech strategy game out there.

Not compromising at all would be not using the internet though. Probably live in a cottage somewhere in the middle of nowhere too.

I go through a ton of hypothetical conversations like that in my head. So far I was always able to discern between real and made up though as far as I can tell.

Dad of a very active daughter here. I know the feeling exactly.

Two things helped me and her mom immensely.

For the keeping our of trouble part it is such much better to set up a safe enclosed environment for her to explore safely rather than running after her. We made the living room child safe.

The other thing is I changed to prepping everything for my morning routine in the evening. For the same reason you described. It only gets worse when they don't sleep through the night so I was very happy I did.

How I know?

Every RPG character after looting the boss.

There is no escape!

Often running things RAW is the brave move.

Like have you ever run a chase scene according to the DMG?

Great way to introduce kids to gambling and death early in their lives.

Wait, I died?

As a European who grew up using only metric I like inches for crafting. It's a good scale for the things I craft and I prefer fractions over decimals when doing quick math or measurements.

But that doesn't mean metric shouldn't be the standard.

Roll a die to die.
