The deadlights in Stephen King’s IT. ::: spoiler The scene where the turtle is dead hits me right in the existential dread. spoiler :::
SOMA. There were sections in the game that were scary, but the entire concept is really a mind melt. It’s not like it’s not a common theoretical question, but going through it step by step is another thing. And if you go to the home page of it and read some of the short stories, it really adds to the whole experience.
I’m not sure about “expensive”, but it was priceless.
My mom had a really gorgeous piece of petrified wood about the size of a cup coaster and as a young kid I was obsessed with it. So one day I broke into her jewelry box where she kept it and stole it to bring to school for show and tell. Everything was fine until I was getting on the bus to go home and I tripped with it in my hand. It shattered like glass and so did my poor little heart.
I remember crying all the way home where I tearfully confessed to my thievery and apologized up and down to my mom. She honestly wasn’t very angry, and was a lot more understanding than I thought she might be. I don’t remember what happened to the wood afterwards but I don’t remember seeing it ever again so I wonder if she trashed it? It was so beautiful, so that would be a total shame.
do you have to look away when concentrating on something?
What are you alluding to with this one? I do this so much and get weird looks from it, but I didn’t realize it was a ‘thing’.
Can I be a little bit of a shit and say none?
It’s not that I don’t like books or am proud of not reading - it’s that my ADHD makes books damn near impossible unless I’m fully gripped immediately, and then I will hyperfixate and read the book in it’s entirety in one day (ask me about the bender that was the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series). And one would think audiobooks would be the solution, but man they just bore me hahaha.
Radio plays (or podcasts in the same style) and deep dives into history, however? That’s the spot.
It gets very repetitive, but if you’re solely using it as a means to an end for schooling, then it’s manageable.
And even a full time 8x5 or 4x10 truly only takes maybe 2-4 hours to get things done, so then you have the rest of the time to study.
My career is in a sort of glorified data entry (GIS for a utility company), and it’s super relaxed most of the time.
Data entry is always a good field for this. Work from home (mostly), can figure it out easily, pays decently.
Right on the nose with the insurmountable task.
The thing is, is that if somehow you get the energy to get out the door, whatever you have planned is (nearly) always a good time. It’s just so hard to remember that when depression takes hold.
I absolutely understand this. I’ve been traveling to Vancouver, BC a lot and my god, it’s so easy to get around without a car. I’m sure it’s not the golden standard, but it’s sure great
Yeahhhhh, it’s such a pittance that everything is so big. I saw a Mazda 3 ev I think? And there’s a VW golf EV but only in the UK I think, and that’s way too much of a hassle
Odd shaped coins are great. I have some coins from the Bahamas with scalloped edges. Those are neat! My favorite odd-shaped one is a misprint. It’s a blank round of copper except for a small sliver on the edge that is pinched into a penny.
Unfortunately I can’t narrow down my favorite coin as there are too many to choose from.
Money! Unfortunately I’m broke, but I do have a sizeable collection of foreign coins and bills. I don’t remember how it started but at some point in my life people just started bringing me their foreign currency. “Hey, I heard you like collecting coins, I got this from Algeria” “Hey, I heard you collect money, I got this from Taiwan”
I think my favorites right now are the currency no longer printed or of nations that no longer exist. USSR, Nazi Germany, Mao Zedong bills, some Eire from Ireland. I also have several misprints that are very cool, a silver penny misprint, and I have a ridiculously old bronze coin from a Chinese dynasty.
Man hook hand car door?!
I’ll be getting it on PC, but I’m super stoked for Sea of Stars
Sweet potato fries. Or overly orange fries for any reason (sometimes the frying just seems to make them orange, especially curly fries?).
Was youngish, friend took me out to lunch and I had a meatball sub with sweet potato fries. Yum yum. Until, of course, 3am the next morning when all that came up and was orange and potato-y. I refuse to try them again to this day. Although I love sweet potatoes, lol, just not sp fries.
