I have a T580 and a T15g2 and the T580 is 100% a more rugged build--not even close.

The T15 is way lighter, so maybe that feels like stiffness?

G1s do not just "have brighter screens" than Gen 2. Those are spec-able options.

G1 had three screens, 250nit, 300nit, 500nit (4k only)

G2 had three screens, 300nit, 300nit, 600nit (4k only)

Both have the same 57wh battery. Not sure what you're talking about there.

Aaaand that's my new phone background.

Yes, shared joy is double joy. Where's the question?

It explicitly said you do not need a PSN account to play, in a number of places. Both on the game page, on the Sony FAQ page, and the Steam page too I believe.

It was bait and switch, which is why so many people are upset.

I perceived the comment you're responding to as blatant sarcasm.

Not necessarily. But the way around it means way more dev time. I know Vivaldi and Brave have stated that they will make sure to defeat it. I assume the DuckDuckGo browser would as well but I'm not sure.

I want him and others like him to stop trying to be president at 80.

I would also like him to speak in full sentences and stay awake at important outings.

That said, my comment is more about the same criticism that I have of most of Washington... They're way too old. There is no 80yo that's still firing on all cylinders.

Don't be like that, my comment was not a partisan one and I did not attack you. I would appreciate the same courtesy.

No one is perfect. I think this administration is doing decent. I'm independent, so I rarely fully agree with a party.

I have found that the news has done a decent job covering positives and negatives. Or at least I'm hearing about both.

I mean he's not. But I've been pretty happy with his administration overall

I had the same laugh. So tone-deaf.

Light slaps like you're packing a can of dip.

Clippy kept the real madness at bay. Without his presence we are lost.

Well... Is it?

I would recommend researching the terms "executive dysfunction" and "demand avoidance".

Demand avoidance is not the same as Pathological Demand Avoidance, which is a Autistic profile type, but maybe for fun look into that too!

Weirdly Maine is/maybe was the only state that did ranked choice voting. But it also kinda sounds like this new system supercedes it.

Even a decent driving rig can be had for under a grand. Way cheaper than almost any car.

You're way off the rails. Go read his other comment. He wasn't being even remotely serious.

Absolutely, it's hard to feel so held back because you know what you're capable of when you're calm and feeling safe, but not all hope is lost.

Anxiety (fight or flight) happens when there is a real or perceived danger to self in some way. That could be physical safety, stress, lost of resources like time or money, and so on. You can find a full list of what may feel threatened on Maslow's Hierarchy (or Pyramid) of Needs (linked below).

The trick is, learning these triggers. They can be tricky because you've likely trained yourself to ignore them over the years by trying to push through the anxiety. You begin to train yourself to notice them again by focusing on feelings (as above--physical sensations). The practice of Mindfulness is the name of this discipline. Your body will warn you with some sort of physical feeling before you're in full fight or flight. It can be tricky to learn this, but it's a game changer once you get the hang of it.

Freezing people up with questions: yes 100% they're editing the video to show the people the social anxiety. Not very cash money of them.

So first off, I'm so happy that you found my comment helpful! This is a hobby but I am working to be a professional in the field so that's a huge compliment to me!

Next, good job listening to your body! This may also surprise you, but for years we have found that "forward motion" (meaning working towards goals or overcoming obstacles) is therapeutic. However recently, it was shown in a study under Standford University that literally forward motion (i.e. walking) medically, measurably, calms nerves relating to stress! The mechanism is called optic flow, and I'll leave a link for the study down below if you want to geek out with me.

So anyway, what it sounds like is that the natural calming nature of walking (optic flow) is being used to combat stress coming from stressful topics while you process them. It's pretty cool what we com up with when we're honest with ourselves about how we feel. Great work!

I have had great luck with random people. There is in-game voice chat and you don't run into the really serious try hard types until the very upper difficulties
