Even as someone that knows it is indeed all coincidences, it's pretty damning how much the person the bible writers had in mind matches trump. Turns out we've had this particular possible personality for quite a while.

While that can be a fun technical joke in other contexts, this is not a situation where jokes like that are considered appropriate. As an Autistic person myself, I had to learn stuff like this the hard way too.

Hmm, I have no idea what the mayo/ketchup thing is. Looking it up on "know your meme" is basically just blank with a video that doesn't exist anymore. Far as I can tell, they are individually both popular condiments in most countries, and using them together is even pretty popular in most countries still. So it must be some specific reference I just can't find?

Only if the specific person with schizoid personality disorder happens to also be an extreme introvert, as extroverted ones would not be like this at all. And even mildly introverted ones would be unlikely to prefer this. It's completely separate from any neurodiversion.

We will move on, as soon as bethesda does. Hehe. We can't play elder scrolls 6 yet. But serioisly, skyrim with good mods is still a better game than almost all newer games. So, hard to really feel bad for still recommending it.

Sounds good. That is a reasonable cost for the peace of mind. I would gladly spend that to gain this.

This thread is about feeling like we already have enough money, lol. Yes, they taught us about compound interest in school. I know I could be making more money, but I don't want more money, I want my money to just be sitting there so I don't have to worry about it. My dad is always so stressed out because he never has any money on hand, it's always tied up in stuff and he has to constantly micromanage everything. I'm sure he has more money than he would have if he wasn't doing that... but it certainly isn't the "passive" income he claims it is. It's more work than his actual job, and the stress is costing him years off his life on top of the time it already costs to manage it all.

I have enough money. More money would be a waste. I don't want to do even a fraction of what he does, it can just sit there and I can just chill. I like my life.

Man, that is some expensive and extremely commited LARPing. Thank you for your service. Almost all the downsides of going to mars with very few of the benefits.

One thing to keep in mind, just to get your expectations right. Kids are more neuroplastic than us, and it takes kids about 5 years of practicing every day to get fluent at their first language. They are learning a few more things for the first time during that too. But you can expect it to take about as many practice hours. So if you only practice 1 hour a week, it's gonna be a long time. But also, you don't need to hit the bar of "fluent" to solve your problem. Where kids are at after 1 year is very serviceable for it instead being a second language. If you plan to move to an english speaking country, that would be plenty to get by in your day to day life while you all of a sudden start also spending every day practicing.

Learning to read and interpret a new language is more than 10 times easier than learning to speak it. Even just writing in it, where you have all the time in the world to compose each sentence is going to take alot of practice to get good at. For speaking, you have to be quick enough to form full sentences in seconds, at a time where it's not the main thought process going on in your head.

I know that is what the playstation 5 dev kit looked like, and there was a joke at the time about the shape of the exhaust vents being great for keeping a slice of pizza warm. And then kfc made a joke about a bucket of chicken warming console, or at least I hope it was a joke, honestly not really sure.

Judge for yourself, I guess.

But anyway, this is plausible. Unfortunately. But could also just be photoshop, honestly the spatula is probably the most suspicious part. It's almost too much effort for the joke. But even that really could go either way ultimately. At the very least, even if the pizza and spatula are photoshopped, the dev kit could still have been sold anyway.

Edit: the shadows also don't look consistent to me, the controller has a pretty detailed shadow, but the spatula and console don't. It's possible there is another light source filling in their shadows that is blocked from filling in the controllers shadows, but it does lower the likelyhood of being a legit photo to my mind. But not to 0, still possible, just unlikely.

Edit 2: well... there is another angle that significantly strengthens the possibility of it not being photoshopped.
