He was asking both campaigns to give him a Cabinet position in exchange for his withdrawal from the race and endorsement like a week ago. Harris didn't take his call, but I'd be amazed if Chump didn't jump on that

If the reason you don't want to speak to an adult for guidance is because there aren't any you find trustworthy or who know how to communicate effectively with you, I think the best way to learn from your mistakes is to look for the patterns around them. Then, shift your perspective from being the person who made the mistake to being someone on the receiving end of it--walk a mile in someone else's shoes to understand them better and all that. For me, I found getting to know myself a really important part of this: I had to know what I was like when I felt my best and worst to recognize the things that went wrong before I made a mistake. It took me until adulthood just to recognize that I have a slow-to-warm personality and tend to be inflexible, which means that any unexpected changes really fuck my shit up and can lead to me making mistakes because I feel like I'm scrambling to adapt. Give me an extra minute or three to live with it and I'm fine; don't give me the extra time, and I'll probably be nasty towards you even if you don't deserve it. Recognizing those patterns in my own behavior lets me say, "Hold on, I need a few before I can do what you want" instead of, "Are you fucking kidding me? You're doing this again?" (which, it turns out, upsets the people who are so ready to demand I do something flawlessly and on their schedule instead of mine, lol).

Looking for the underlying causes of mistakes is like tracking down clues to solve a mystery. Maybe you missed a throw because your hands were sweaty and the ball was slippery, or maybe you miss a throw because your mind was busy trying to work on a different problem while you were throwing a ball. Maybe an unexpected gust of wind blew the ball in a different direction than you were expecting it to go; mistakes aren't always because of things that we can control, so it's important to be fair and kind to yourself when you're looking for these patterns behind them and recognizing when something isn't your mistake.

It's way too easy to get wrapped up in the idea that making mistakes makes you a failure or a bad person. Nah, they just mean that you're doing something you're not used to doing perfectly. Nobody just hops on a bicycle and rides off into the sunset on their first try. It's a skill that takes practice. There are tons of skills like that that most people don't think of as needing practice before you get good at them: making friends, being a good friend, creating emotional boundaries, saying no, saying yes, asking for help, washing dishes, fixing a leaky pipe, emotional regulation, apologizing, forgiving, driving... it's a long list, but you get the idea. Being bad at a skill is a temporary thing, and making mistakes is how you figure out how to improve.

I've been playing No Man's Sky since they released the 5.0 content update. It's made a huge difference in the look and feel of the game with things like modeled weather and oceans, and I've recently learned that sentinel attacks stop after you blow up the freighter they warp in.

And I thought the Commodore having shock absorbing mats under the dance floor so people could dance all night without their feet hurting was revolutionary!

Step 1: Colonize Mars

Step 2: Treat Mars like an Earth colony instead of an independent nation and make them really resentful of it lol

You glorious weirdo! Part of me wants to know what you used for a prompt, and the rest of me absolutely does not want to know what you used for a prompt.

Oh, HELL yes!!!

 

I started off using different colors because I liked them. Turns out that my brain really likes this style of information organization, and it's helped me a bunch when it comes to learning and sticking with good design habits!

Notebook: Colorverse Nebula

Pens, L-R: Platinum Preppy (fine, Colorverse Brane), TWSBI Eco (broad, Birmingham Pen Co. Lightning Twinkle), Opus88 Mini (fine, Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo), and Bonecrusher (medium, Diamine Writers Blood)

Photo description: Stationery items on top of a large desk mat printed with a night forest scene. A Colorverse Nebula notebook is open to two pages of notes and drawings on tips for designing snap-fit joints on 3d printed objects, written in different ink colors. The notebook is surrounded by pencils (a Bic mechanical and Tombow 4H), a plastic pencil sharpener, and a test tube rack holding four fountain pens.

 

I just started playing Curse for the first time the other night, and the gameplay/mechanics have been so much fun. I've tried claws, machete, pistol, and whip so far, but I'd love to hear about which weapon combos or full builds you found the most fun! What all did you like about them?

 

I've been growing for my partner and me for a little over a year now, and have worked out most of the hiccups in my process. Now I'm looking to grow my favorite strain, Skywalker OG. I have no idea who the original breeder was; I was buying it in oil carts made by Crystal Clear out in Washington state, but stopped once the pandemic hit.

I've tried the Mephisto Skywalker and it wasn't the same, so I'm asking for help from the knowledgeable folks here. Please throw your recs my way! My preference is for autoflower (because I am not on top of stuff enough to do photos), but I mean, I have a small second tent...
