A large part of growing up with social media is learning how to effectively use your emotions in a way that assists you rather than hindering you. Passion and anger are way too close together, it can be really hard to separate them. Passion is very helpful when motivating yourself to write in a compelling way. Unfortunately, it's something that can best be learned through practice. The good news is the first step is recognizing that it is a problem, so you have started. The bad news is, you won't be good at it for a while still, but keep trying anyway.

Considering it's how his followers already use their Bible, we can assume they have the same level of "reverence" for the constitution.

I didn't even get to try to enjoy it, one of the missions pretty early on had a 100% chance to crash at a certain point on my computer and after a year of checking to see if each game patch or video driver update fixed it, I just gave up.

Starlink roughly compares to mobile internet. And not particularly favorably on average. It's good if you live in a place where even cell service doesn't reach or is super old. But it doesn't compare to even a cheap/bad wired connection for bandwidth, but especially for latency.

Wow, how did I not know there was a saVant game?

And to play two copies of the same game at the same time, any 2 members of the family could own it. So my brother and I can each buy a game, and then my mom and sister could play it while we are at work. My sister can't work, so she has a lot of time to fill but can't afford to buy games. We do have 5 copies of Stardew Valley, though, as that is a game for the whole family.

There was already a bunch of games my brother and I both owned before steam family was an option. But now games I'm only tangentially interested in after he played them or vice versa are much more of an option to quickly play through to see if I like it too. Before, it just wouldn't have been worth buying it to find out. And it's a bonus for the devs too if I do end up liking it, because then I am more likely to buy their next game so I can play it at the same time as my brother.

Gaming is inherently social. Even when we play single-player games, I'm sure most of us have a friend or sibling we talk to about them as we play.

Action Role Playing Game

Hehe yeah, we played it once as a family and of course died right away. Almost everyone was done there and accepted that as the end of it... so me and my sister just went and played the rest ourselves.

I get their mentality, choose your own adventure, see where your choices lead and that's the ending you get... makes sense with alot of content like this. But in the case of that specific adventure and the ending they got, it was pretty clear you are supposed to try again, not accept that ending. Ah wells. Consequently they thought it was stupid. And me and my sister loved it.

But this sort of stuff is doomed to fail no matter how good it can be, cuz there is way more of them than there is of us. So it doesn't make enough to justify it's cost. And that is of course the other problem, "money" is the most important thing to too many people right now... good art can't exist when its financial cost needs to be justified.

Careful with alarm fatigue. It's unfortunately something your brain does without your permission. If you ever find setting lots of alarms stops being helpful, that is likely what happened. Basically, since you will end up brushing off a decent portion of those alarms as you are either still on task or don't need to be on task yet "this time", your brain will slowly think of those alarms as less important, no matter how important you want them to still be.

It can help to set as many different alarm sounds as possible. Sometimes, that can make it feel like each alarm is different, and they won't all be lumped into the same category in your subconscious.

That paper specifically concludes that despite all that, there is no reason to even look into whether fluoridation in drinking water might be a problem because there has clearly been no corollary deleterious effect. So, knowing what it would look like if it was a problem, was enough to know that it isn't even close enough to warrant checking how close it is. The highest reported extremes of exposure already didn't cause issue, so there is certainly no cause for concern at normal levels.

Basically, normal levels are so far below potential risky levels, that they aren't even concerned of accidental overexposure due to mistakes or accidents. They concluded they had literally zero concern...

So linking that paper isn't really supporting your opinion.

Yeah, I know at least 4 of my ancestors should have been diagnosed as Autistic but never got tested. And 2 more were for sure undiagnosed ADHD. They all just ended up being stunted unhappy people instead that had a couple happy moments with their other stunted unhappy friends whenever they would hang out and play trains or music or whatever other "weirdly" deep hobby their sposes had to eventually pull them away from to go back to "normal" life.
