Spirit bow has blooming and speed augment. Spawn grass and burn everything at range with the blazing crossbow buffed darts and sniper's mark ability, artifacts and haste armor ability to get away or run through the fire. This build did monstrous aoe damage, spawning massive blazes nearly every fight

The real star of this run was the parchment scrap. Since the update where energizing potions and scrolls identifies them, it feels very viable to identify all of the extra scrolls and potions from the first 4 floors by energizing them and pumping that into the parchment scrap. 10x enchantment/glyph find and 0x curse find on armor and weapons is a wild effect to have before floor 5. In the posted run I got a lucky weapon early with this strategy which snowballed into RoW drops, making a build that felt very strong starting on floor 4 and continuing for the rest of the game

I too grew up in a southern military family. Interests other than football or otherwise hurting other people? That's a paddlin

Idk. Based on the number of fight scenes in that series that start with glistening men ripping off their clothes before fighting, I'd argue that kiryu at least has a kink for public indecency

I'm currently working on a PhD, and I had a meeting that felt like an intervention with my advisor where she encouraged me to take a few months away from the program to take care of myself. For context, I used to work for the airforce, and apparently I picked up some pretty severe mental health problems that have lead to not sleeping and panic attacks when I read papers about military hardware (not ideal when my current interest is hardware side cybersecurity).

What the fuck does "take care of yourself" mean? Like, I don't know what to do with my hands. I've spent my entire life with a fast paced schedule, either with school work or some other crisis I've needed to attend to. Now I'm like... trying to accept going to therapy and I'm doing yoga with some people in my research group a few times a week, but i don't know what to do with my time otherwise. I feel like smoking all of the weed in this state playing video games and rotting in bed isn't the answer, but that's where I'm at. I'd love any advice or to hear from anybody who's been in that position of being told to take a few months off for mental health

Tolerance is a social contract. Those who abide by it are protected by it. Those who reject it are not

Gotta love that even the very emotional "men have feelings and need support too" post ends with "treat them as wretched because they are wretched." Absolutely fucking tonedeaf to bring that type of negativity and derogatory generalization about men to this context. Big "not all men, but..." energy

Even as a straight/cis man with ASD, I've regularly found lgbtq+ communities to be more accepting of me as a person than straight communities. I'm happy to be represented by gay infinity

That's gonna be tough. Saying this as a recent M.S. graduate of a FL university, I got the hell out. I'm starting a PhD program very soon, but there's absolutely no way I'm doing it in a state where I'm reasonably worried that the next piece of legislation is going to result in Desantis' brownshirts arresting me for thought crimes. Red states are dangerous places for academics.

Wasn't "protecting Russian language and culture" one of Putlers first justifications for the invasion? Like, I think it's kinda fucked up to ban the language and culture, but then again my country has never been invaded by a neighboring war criminal who used "we're just protecting our language and culture in your land" so my opinion isn't nearly as valid as the opinion of people who are currently in that situation

I admittedly didn't look too hard for that 121bil figure, your source seems much better than the "Google it and grab the first number I see" approach I used. I see 91.36B gross profit for 2022 in your source. That makes the 36,500,000 fine ~0.04% of their profits instead or the 0.03% I got at first, equivalent to a $20 fine on 50k profit. I think the rest of what I said is still valid with the new numbers. Thanks for keeping me honest!

100k/day (36.5 million anually) is ~0.03% of Meta's 2022 profits (121 billion). That's not a fine, it's barely even a tax. If you make 50k/year profit and the government gave you a similar fine, they'd be taking $15 from you. That sounds more like bribe money for Norwegian politicians than a good faith attempt to protect their citizens.
