Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

'Tis the era of Indy Games, my friend. Abandon the Graphically amazing games that cannot be built upon passion due to have dev teams of 10,000 strong. Instead, embrace the smaller titles developed by less than 10 people whom cry with joy at the prospect of showering you with entertainment and art.

Trump says he expects indictment in election probe

Reply in thread

Thats the brilliance of it; he ran an inpopular platform intended to help the rich get richer and simultaneously fought a culture war that gained him the support of the massive, white, rural, uneducated class.

A side anecdote: I have an acquatance of a friend who is both Brown, and a Trump Supporter - I was baffled and couldn't understand why they would support an openly racist candidate.

Well, turned out they were from a family of Old money out of Dubai and Trumps tax and business policies put in place GREATLY assisted their family real estate company. I think they tripled their revenue in 4 years, but i'm not entirely certain - I've just picked it up through context.

Oh, a morning routine! It's my favorite part of the day and something I'm oddly passionate about!

Most importantly, I make sure to go to bed at a reasonable time the night before, and i leave my curtains open to let the sunlight wake me up naturally. Just in case I'm extra sleepy, I set a vibration alarm on my phone and place it under my pillow for backup

After I wake up, I:

  1. Head to the restroom

  2. Sluggishly make my bed

  3. Go downstairs, drink a glass of water to hydrate, and then brew some coffee

  4. feed the cats

  5. Then I drink coffee and watch TV for a bit while I wake up and wait for the caffiene to kick in

  6. Shower, brush teeth, apply deoderant, style hair, shave stubble, apply cologne

I have really shit mental health, so I have to take extra care of myself and be very intentional about my actions. My morning routine is a sacred part of the day and helps me enjoy being alive :)

All of this is completely normal, yes. However, frequency and intensity are typically the separating factors between neurotypicals and those diagnosed with ADHD.

In short: it was criminal negligence with intent to keep revenue streams flowing. I work as a Fraud Investigator, our sister department handles higher profile cases such as this.

Needless to say, the situation certainly faltered my trust in our processes, procedures, and integrity. So, I'm leaving lol. I dont have kids or anything so i'm able to make the leap into schooling

I mean this in the friendliest, most non-confrontational way; It sounds as though you've been fed quite a bit of misinformation, Biden is most definitely not Far Left. If you'd like me to elaborate I am willing.

I was put in IOP for 6 weeks early this year due to severe depression, I couldn't take care of myself and I was at risk of losing everything and killing myself.

IOP was helpful in the sense that I participated in group therapy 6 hours a day, 5 days a week which exposed me to other individuals also struggling. It taught me that I was not alone in my suffering, and that it is okay that I am struggling. IOP gave me lots of tools and coping mechanisms to assist getting through bad times.

However, the most important thing is that IOP gave me was the opportunity to step away from life and catch my breath, which was invaluable and it gave me time to reflect on my current situation and how to change it. I think I would have killed myself otherwise.

Now, I understand that my Job is eating my alive and I need to find a new one. Problem is, the job market is fucked. So, i'm going back to school to reskill and restart.

I used to be the same :) But a while back, I was hospitalized for severe depression. I learned in IOP that doing something you love to warm up for the day - instead of immediately pursuing productivity - improves happiness and helps me look forward to the day instead of dreading it and making it hard to get out of bed in the morning.
