It's not unusually specific here, per se. It's just a list with descriptions of several Americans who were elected into government. I couldn't name novel or movie characters that precisely fit these traits off the top of my head.

Quantum computing. It would have already been but it still has a very nerdy, no real-world application vibe.

I figured this was just kind of a blurb by someone who just lacks depth in knowledge of these things

V for Vendetta seems close though

You can't blame yourself for how you feel or how it affects you. You might, like me, be too tough on yourself.

The only real advice I can give is to make sure you reflect on all the positive things you gain from therapy. Think about stuff therapist have recommended you to do, do them and think about how it improved your life. Even if it's just a minor improvement.

And always remember it's okay to not be okay.

Me. I have days where I can't see the end, can't enjoy things I used to like. But I force myself to go outside, go to the supermarket or whatever. Just this tiny walk every day has made the number of horrible days so much less. The days thermselves still suck really bad but they are further apart. On this day, I allow myself to feel sorry for myself and try my best to act cheerful for my wife and get out of her way quickly so that my negative mood doesn't affect her too much.

Bottom line: just think about how therapy has had a positive effect on you. I have no experience with group sessions, but considering one of them has an effect on you, try to find out if any of them have experienced positive effects from your input. You might feel better about therapy itself if you know you're helping others.

But as a final thought I'd like to second what was said in the other comment. It is imperative that you talk to one of the therapists and explain what you are experiencing. Maybe in a few months, you'll be able to share this with the group and explain how you got through it.

Keep at it and focus on the positive.

Compared to the original Tall Tales and the Monkey Island ones, I think the PotC ones were the worst. They added those underwater shrines, ocean crawlers and sirens which are all a massive pain in the bottom.

I played the original Monkey Island and I gotta say I loved the Sea of Thieves adaptation. My wife and I completed all achievements of all Tall Tales a while back, started to feel like a chore but the Monkey Island ones were a breeze. Loved it.

Also loved the Pirates of the Caribbean ones though.

It was pretty much Obi-Wan until I saw Rogue One, Cassian Andor is just a great character, maybe because of the way Diego Luna portrays him. The way he analyses his environment and the way convoluted schemes around him play out is some of the best the franchise has to offer.

Credit goes to some dude on r*ddit. It's still useful sometimes

I got it running in 1080p once, you can just do a custom resolution in some config file.

They should have never made a new Most Wanted, they should have taken the old one, added more recent cars and add better graphics. Instead they destroyed the whole vibe.

I'm not saying 'don't be worried', I'm saying 'have a little bit of faith in the system and see how far he gets'. I take it some of the stuff he yells at easily influenced voters will be unconstitutional and I hope your checks abs balances will be strong enough to withstand the fall of your democracy.

If it's not, well, I'll also be fucked. So whichever way you slice it, the only thing to do is to wait and see.

I mean technically you could storm the Capitol but I think we know that doesn't really do shit except make you a meme or a prisoner or both.

 

Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

Thoughts?
