Sorry to disappoint but I’m only gonna benefit from official Republican policies, so… thanks? I guess? Was just trying to help you non-wealthy non-crackers.

So you recognize the danger you’re putting yourself in by insisting you’d rather have nothing than only a little? That’s what I’m getting out of this frothing mess of a comment.

Oh they are are they? Better let the dude explicitly in favor of Israel’s approach win over the woman who wasn’t mean enough to Israel I guess. And fuck all the other points, we’ve got standards.

Man, idk if I’m mad or amused. You either don’t live in the US and your stance didn’t change anything, or you do and going by your pronouns you’re about to reap all the rewards.

When someone suggests the best solution to a genocide is making it worse, I’m going to call that person names, yeah.

Literally just flip a coin to get a better prediction. Randomized decision rule go brrr. Absolute madness. Neyman and Pearson can’t fool me. It’s all lies. Lies!

Mir auch. Und gesagt dass es ewig dauern wird. Und dass ich nichts in der Nähe kriege. Und dass ich über ein Jahr warten muss and es eigentlich nicht erlaubt ist so lange Wartelisten zu haben. Und mich noch mal auf die Seite verwiesen.

Ich habe mich beim ersten Mal auch überreden lassen, aber komischerweise klappt das mit dem selbst machen nicht so gut wenn man depri ist. Hab der genervten Dame an der Leitung zugegeben dass ich einfach nicht dazu fähig war. War scheiße, lief okay.

Ey, alleine daran zu denken stresst mich gerade. Ich lese nicht Korrektur. Hoffentlich lesbar.

Also die versuchen schon hart abzuwimmeln, aber ich hatte halt einen Überweisungsschein mit irgend einer Überweisungsnummer vom Hausarzt und hatte damit (frag mich nicht nach welchem Gesetz) das Recht darauf etwas vermittelt zu kriegen. Ich habe möglichst friedlich alle vorgeschlagenen Alternativen und Warnhinweise verneint und (wahrheitsgemäß) wiederholt, dass ich wirklich nicht selber in der Lage war zu suchen.

Das war kurz nach Ende der letzten Lockdowns, wo die Wartezeit schon auf >1 Jahr prognostiziert wurde. Es war unideal, und fast zu spät für mich, aber letztendlich ist alles gut ausgegangen.

Edit: entfernt weil’s blöd war

Danke, sehr spannend.

116117 übernimmt die Sucharbeit mit ärztlicher Überweisung auch, oder? Die Wartezeit ist nicht kürzer, die Chance an einen guten Therapeuten zu kommen nicht höher, aber gerade für Depression ist das Erleichtern der Suche Gold wert.

The only thing the article adds to the headline is that it’s not possible on new Intel chips. This article seems significantly better.

That’s… that’s genius, actually.

I really liked the storms in Valheim. Probably not the best looking but they felt so impressive.

This channel has a lot of pretty game ambience, but isn’t limited to storms.

I really tried to like spiritfarer. It’s popular and conceptually my kind of game.

How tf did they manage to make it so awful. I still don’t understand. I played like 4 hours and not once had anything approaching fun. Even the emotional impact of the first storm was ruined by that terrible minigame.

That is so odd lol. I’ve heard from a friend that abused their systems to fuck with other trolls and never had an issue.

I’ll make sure to get back to you when I get to S3, then. Gotta admit to being disappointed that Christina just disappeared, but the fact you remember her name suggests she’ll be back. Woo! Before that, to the other points:

Leveling systems are generally terrible writing, agreed, but they can serve as excellent antagonists (something you’ll see attempted often in RoyalRoad entries). I think they’re a trend from Korea that stuck around because they appeal to gamers. I’ve never really looked into the topic, but the first I remember hearing of was called The Gamer and it released in… 2013. Hoo boy. Yeah, I’m almost 30 lol. It wasn’t that long ago, but apparently long enough for nostalgia to set in. At the time it was super popular and spawned literally tens of thousands of spinoffs.

That’s not as many as it sounds like, though. Eastern novels/writing seems to be iterative, with stories slightly mutated over and over in vast quantities until something is new enough and good enough to gain popularity and shift the genre again. There’s less focus on brevity, novelty is central but narrow, and the novelty is often entirely described within the title. Western web fiction is similar in some ways, but much less homogeneous.

I do have an ebook reader. My main suggestion would be, if you’ve got one in mind, looking for problems with it online, like “<ebook name> stopped working” or “froze” or “won’t turn on.” A lot of them break in suspiciously predictable ways and are completely unrepairable. Second suggestion is to get one that isn’t bound to a store, which you can freely upload epubs/pdfs to, preferably via USB cable. Everything else is pretty much subject to your use-case. Small size, backlighting, water/rain resistance and low weight are requirements for me personally.

My reader is a tablet style thing which I can use for work. However that leaves it too large to actually read much on while in bed or on the go, and I’ve ended up mostly using my (very small) phone to read epubs.

Sorry for the wall of text, but hopefully it’s useful to you! As to web fiction: I do still suggest searching. There is no one website, it really is best to spread out. I often use TopWebFiction and RoyalRoad, but so many good stories are hidden in some weird forum or blog somewhere that I usually just look at story request threads for new stuff.

How does one get banned from Reddit lol

Alright I’m reading Skeleton Soldier. I like it. It is a little silly, a little shallow, but it’s fun and varied and damn if it doesn’t pull off some emotional whiplash. Like when the female knight in the tournament tripped while everybody was booing her? My stomach dropped through the floor.

Yoo, Skeleton Soldier is just time loop LitRPG in manga form. Absolutely cringe and I am absolutely here for it. That used to be one of my favorite genres/tropes to read! Yeah, those types of stories are rarely finished, and usually pretty shallow. Kinda like fast food for reading. I’ll give it the manga a shot. Thank you!

I really wonder wth happened with your school lol. I hated mandatory reading too, but it wasn’t nearly that bad, just tedious.

Sorry to heap more suggestions on to you, but if you’re into stories like skeleton soldier you could take a look at RoyalRoad or similar web novel sites. There’s literally tens of thousands of such stories uploaded for free by the authors. The vast majority of them are bad or worse, but with how many there are there’s more than enough high quality stuff, some of which is novel or experimental in a way one doesn’t find in published work. Just be ready to drop a story if it feels like it’s going nowhere or is not fun to read.
