Teacher here. I would say that the idea of innocence comes from kids being a blank slate. Kids aren't typically inherently mean but are heavily affected by their surroundings and who they learn from. It's not always the same for every kid but bad environment is going to produce a kid that is angry and mean that will lash out at others.

I wouldn't agree with the idea that schools are cesspools and every kid is awful to each other. Every school is so different and I would say that at my school only 5% of kids are actually mean with malicious intent. Some don't know better and will learn as they grow and most are genuinely good little people.

You were not joking, that write up is huge and in depth.

Shokz is a brand that makes them. I haven't had a pair but a student of mine had them and liked them.

The ability to sync tabs from Firefox mobile to desktop and vice versa is a huge selling point of desktop Firefox use. I'm not well versed in the best desktop browsers but when I swapped three months ago to double Firefox I've been very happy.

Some say they intentionally didn't release the character costume cash shop until after the release of the game as to not taint the reviews of the game. They always say the money go towards upkeep and future development but still charge for season passes and characters that are locked behind that.

I feel the same. I don't have everything I want in life but I heard somewhere, "Some are late bloomers, but everyone, blooms."

I was talking to some friends and I don't get independents at this point. If you don't know who you're voting for and need to see this debate to decide, you haven't been paying attention to the past 8 years.

I very much enjoyed Sekiro and it led me to Elden Ring that I then, in turn, did not enjoy at all. haha Sekiro feels much more approachable but it doesn't have the replayability of other Souls games.

I have bought sets from https://typemachina.com/collections/keysets. They used to be called Originative but changed the name at some point. Keysets can be really really expensive. Like $125 you wait months for that is essentially plastic but it's made in a specific factory in Germany lol But, there are lots of cheap sets too. mechanicalkeyboards.com is another place that should have more affordable sets. Just make sure you choose the right layout and get the correct amount of keys for your board. There are artisans too and you can spend lots of money on a single key that is a piece of art.

There's also, everynoise.com. you can find any genre of music and it will link to a Spotify playlist. I've found so much cool stuff on there.

I don't know what to tell ya bud, we're just shooting funerals and showing the ones where the bodies fly out.

I haven't had an episode in a long time but I would try to tell myself to just breathe through it. The moving an extremity would help too. The worse part was that I'd get them in bunches. If one happened I'd have to stay awake for a bit or I'd get them over and over. Thankfully never saw any demons; just a vision of my surroundings but I couldn't move.

I wasn't that young, maybe 8 but that movie still fucked me up. The hospital scene with the stuffed animals coming alive and breaking apart was and is super scary.

HZD And Forbidden West really push forward the idea that you are playing as a strong woman and the graphics are so good Aloy seems like a real person. Probably not play as but a young girl watching those games being played would be a great role model.

The royalty free version just doesn't hit right. Massive attack carrying hard on the original.

I watched the interview with the kid they, "adopted" and it's so sad.

I can second both of these channels. Jeff is more straight forward and family friendly and Dr. Mike is as straight forward (maybe not straight tho, you'll know if you watch a video lol) but with added comedic effect and maybe a bit more 'bro'y'. Both are excellent channels for information though potentially more for intermediate lifters but you can def get great information for a beginner. They will mostly talk about sleep/diet/training as the biggest things early. Don't try to complicate anything or do anything crazy. Another resource you can look into is Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe which will focus on the big three lifts of dead lift/bench/squat. Those lifts can be intimidating in the beginning because they are all compound lifts but will yield great results for full body strength and get a base.

Be kind to yourself in the beginning and consistence is very important. Good luck!

Also, if you really want someone to tell you what to do Renaissance Periodization has an app that will make workouts for you. It is expensive though I think $200/6 months but it will adapt to you and do everything for you. I have yet to try it but I've considered it.

I don't know about automatically but I have it on my actions. The three little dots in the top right you can bring up the menu and if hide read isn't there you can hit the three dots again on that menu - action visibility, to add it. Can hold and drag the order of the actions too.

I guess the tuning of the game. With Sekiro there was, for the most part, a general linear path that you did to complete the game. You could go in some different ways but for the most part it was linear. With Elden Ring you can go in any way and as people have said, if you get stuck, go somewhere else and get higher level and go back. But I don't like leaving so I would proceed to get dumpstered over and over and get frustrated which is entirely my own fault. But, in Sekiro it seemed like the difficulty of the encounters were created in regards to where you were in the story and even though they were hard, were better tuned to your character power. I bet co-op would be a ton of fun and could make my play through more enjoyable if I got back into it.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it was some groundbreaking scandal because almost all live service games have microtransactions now, unfortunately. It's like man yelling at cloud to be mad about them now because they exist probably forever. The T8 shop were not super expensive items either. I come from the Blizzard/Activision side of gaming and skins in those games can be as much as the base game itself.
