Good catch. I misread the post.

Yes. Thanks for making us aware.

The twitter account in question seems genuine. It's an unfortunate overlap, though.

Grey market key seller? Yes you can get your key banned and maybe get your account in trouble on whichever platform (Steam, Origin, etc) you use.

They sell cheap because they get them illegitimately. Leaked press keys, keys bought with stolen credit cards, keys scammed from developers, datamined keys...

What all of these sources have in common is that the actual developer gets nothing at best, and a chargeback fee at worst. All your money goes to middle men.

Just pirate instead. It's more responsible.

During my assessment, the psychiatrist said she got as much out of my frequest requests for clarification as she did from the answers.

-"Do changes in your environment distress you?"

-"What type of changes and how big? Someone stealing my jacket, or my bus being delayed by 10 minutes? Does distress mean angry? Or annoyed? Can you give an example of what distress feels like, in the context of this question?"

It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.

In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.

And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.

With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.

I'm stretching the word "hope" to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from "impossible" to merely "impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions" to fix things.

They speak what their parents and neighbors speak. This is constant even when borders shift.

The formal language they conform to is the nearest administrative region, usually in the country controlling the town.

There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.

  • Saturday: Event in town, with small kids, socializing
  • Sunday: Teambuilding event
  • Monday: Work strategy meeting
  • Tuesday: Held a presentation and socialized
  • Wednesday: Work strategy meeting
  • Thursday: Course w/group sessions, parents over for dinner
  • Friday: Work event, work event
  • Saturday: Museum trip, family visit

Throughout the week, slow buildup of joint pain, feverish feeling, lack of appetite, swollen throat, buzzing head, torpor, lack of focus. Today I am just broken.

These are all (for me) normal physical reactions to overextending myself socially or spending time in sensory intense environments for any amount of time. They are also symptons I would get if I caught the head cold that is going around.

It feels extremely silly that I have literally zero idea if I have a cold or not.

Anyway, treatment is same either way: Take it easy for a while. Mostly wanted to share my frustrating confusion and maybe hear if others have similar experiences and how they manage. :)

This is part strong recommendation and part wanting to know thoughts of others who have read it. :)

Fern Brady is a scottish comedian who grew up with undiagnosed autism in a very catholic small town.

It's a brutally honest and personal story, and she manages to write everything in a way that I found captivating. She can describe situations of absolute torture in a way that makes them seem both heartbreaking, and almost funny in their absurdity. Like a scene where she got recommended an app to help her with meltdowns and describes how she is crying and punching her fist bloody against her living room wall, while with her other hand opening an app and seeing suggestions like "think of a puppy!", "count to ten and think of the last nice thing you ate!"

For me, the description of a years long struggle to push through a medical system with little and outdated understanding of autism resonnated deeply.

ILJ at det ikke går repriser fordi NRK lisensierte konseptet og ikke har fulle rettigheter til showet. :(

Make sure they stick out a bit on the top. The capillary acton from the tightly packed spahetti draws the wine up so you can drink it.
