My issue right now is specifically task initiation. I've done therapy and I'm on two new medications that are helping, but god damn it's so hard to start a task without body doubling.
I think it's really good. The books... were frankly hard for me to get through. Not bad, but I only read the first few.
If you are going to watch the series, understand that the main cast are written as kind of assholes and are written like real people with real emotions and it's stupid, but stupid good. Also there is an SA scene that can honestly be skipped Season 1, Episode 13 running roughly from the 40:00 to 42:00 mark.
Once you get through the first season it's pretty smooth sailing through to the end of season 3. Then they have cancellation hanging over them so seasons 4 and 5 aren't quite as... grand as they should have been.
Look. You're not wrong that there is a really scary (I would perhaps say very intense and absolutely triggering, but not explicitly graphic. There's definitely graphic violence, but yeah.) scene with SA. But the god semen thing was a different deity and they gank the original trickster deity that did the SA.
When watching I do have the timestamps for that scene written down and do skip it. I skipped it when I introduced my wife to the show.
Not telling you what to do, but there is good content there. That's probably the single scene in the series I seriously tell people to avoid.
I'm sorry it upset you the way it did. And now I'm seriously feeling like typing this is not the right thing, but my tism brain wants to explain more and better.
I mean. "The Hunger Games" is a real book and series that kind of thoroughly shows just how fucked the United States of America is.
It even matches your point. They lavish food and gifts on the first two districts (District 1 producing luxery goods, and District 2 producing police/armed forces). Then tie the rest into fighting amongst themselves over measly leftovers.
Still didn't last terribly long or peacefully, but multiple generations is still a gut punch.
It's also a little like the trolley problem. Like 50% chance sounds good, but it sounds too good to be true? In a way?
Like real life is rarely, if ever, as clear and specific as the trolley problem. What works there, doesn't necessarily translate to real life.
Just with RNG, videogames, dnd and any kind of gambling is already super fucked off of really good odds. I've experienced failure on multiple dice rolls where I had a 75% chance to succeed.
It really spoils you to risk aversion.
Honestly. Try Dragon Age Inquisition. It isn't "open world", but it has MASSIVE regions (that people complained were too big). Lot's to explore, plenty of side quests and puzzles. A base you can customize. Armor too.
Edit: Honestly, play on easy if the combat is too annoying.
I read that as
"Jesus was a short, brown, skinned, jewish man"
I was right flummoxed for a moment there.
but I AM the work IT people and I DON'T understand it EITHER!!!!!
I think they mean that the US would put trade pressure on countries doing any tech trade with China, not specifically preventing it punishing American companies from using Chinese chips.
Unfortunately the United States is still a big economy regardless of their politics and Manny is right that the US would throw their weight behind anti China policies to the detriment of other nations.
How successful such a move would be is up to debate.
...I don't necessarily agree with thetechnician27, however, it could be good as a "bonus panel" like what SMBC does.
THE GRAVE! Dropout sketch.
