Action Role Playing Game

Hehe yeah, we played it once as a family and of course died right away. Almost everyone was done there and accepted that as the end of it… so me and my sister just went and played the rest ourselves.

I get their mentality, choose your own adventure, see where your choices lead and that’s the ending you get… makes sense with alot of content like this. But in the case of that specific adventure and the ending they got, it was pretty clear you are supposed to try again, not accept that ending. Ah wells. Consequently they thought it was stupid. And me and my sister loved it.

But this sort of stuff is doomed to fail no matter how good it can be, cuz there is way more of them than there is of us. So it doesn’t make enough to justify it’s cost. And that is of course the other problem, “money” is the most important thing to too many people right now… good art can’t exist when its financial cost needs to be justified.

Yeah, the driver seems over the top realistic looking from what little we can see of them. This thing would cost way more than my full-size car does… though part of that is my real car only cost 3500.

The only detail not up to snuff to my eyes is the impact surface of the hammer having a huge seam across it that would render it unuseable, if it wasn’t already a tiny plastic(or possibly still metal, hard to tell) toy…

If it wasn’t for that hammer, I might have assumed someone was trying to pull a fast one and photoshopped a real vehicle into the back of that pickup.

I suppose also some of the wiring would be too thick at full size, but even then not by much.

The bumper screws would be a little comical looking at full size. I don’t think phillips head drivers come in size #30.

But I think that’s it, nothing else from this angle really breaks the illusion.

Careful with alarm fatigue. It’s unfortunately something your brain does without your permission. If you ever find setting lots of alarms stops being helpful, that is likely what happened. Basically, since you will end up brushing off a decent portion of those alarms as you are either still on task or don’t need to be on task yet “this time”, your brain will slowly think of those alarms as less important, no matter how important you want them to still be.

It can help to set as many different alarm sounds as possible. Sometimes, that can make it feel like each alarm is different, and they won’t all be lumped into the same category in your subconscious.

They are just always on-edge and terrified for their life no matter what the situation is. What does their training do to them… there was absolutely no reason to see this as some sort of well-disguised trap intended to kill the police officer, so why did his mind go there?

Hmm, I can’t find him… any hints on where waldo is in this one?

That paper specifically concludes that despite all that, there is no reason to even look into whether fluoridation in drinking water might be a problem because there has clearly been no corollary deleterious effect. So, knowing what it would look like if it was a problem, was enough to know that it isn’t even close enough to warrant checking how close it is. The highest reported extremes of exposure already didn’t cause issue, so there is certainly no cause for concern at normal levels.

Basically, normal levels are so far below potential risky levels, that they aren’t even concerned of accidental overexposure due to mistakes or accidents. They concluded they had literally zero concern…

So linking that paper isn’t really supporting your opinion.

Yeah, I know at least 4 of my ancestors should have been diagnosed as Autistic but never got tested. And 2 more were for sure undiagnosed ADHD. They all just ended up being stunted unhappy people instead that had a couple happy moments with their other stunted unhappy friends whenever they would hang out and play trains or music or whatever other “weirdly” deep hobby their sposes had to eventually pull them away from to go back to “normal” life.

Kids with diagnosed or undiagnosed Autism didn’t used to stay in the same class as “non-disruptive” students, oftentimes not even in the same school. But it’s so much better understood now that there is a much stronger effort to keep the classes as integrated as possible and just figure things out as they present. But the problem is that it’s being compounded by spending cuts that have led to integrating even more than what currently makes sense because they can’t afford enough teachers to split classes more. Instead, they hire cheaper teachers assistants and try to handle 30+ kids in the same room. A teacher and 2 TAs for 30 kids is a much worse situation than 2 teachers with 15 kids each.

When I was in school, even my, at the time called Asperger’s syndrome, was enough to have me pulled out into a side class with a specialised teacher. That side room was 10 kids and had 2 TA’s as well. They managed to keep that room so well organised that I was able to pull ahead a grade in that environment. Partially just due to not having to wait for all the other kids in the bigger class to learn stuff before I could move on. Each kid in the 10 kid side-class was on individual learning. So I could breeze through all the stuff I found easy to have more time to work on the stuff that was unduly challenging for me.

On the neurodivergent version of the IQ test they had me do back then, my section scores varied from as low as 74 in a section to 152 in my highest, averaged out to 121 overall. So there was more that I was good at than bad, but 74 is pretty low, so I had to spend a lot of time on that stuff. And it’s tough, the brain hates doing stuff that is relatively challenging. But they worked out a sort of interval training reward system that worked for me. I guarantee I am a much more useful person to society now than I would have been without the funding schools used to have. I shored up my weaknesses while still building my strengths.

After a year in the side course, I was able to rejoin the main class, but a grade higher than the class I used to be with before. The school got me a personal education assistant to keep me on task through challenging stuff or boring stuff. Anything that would otherwise cause my mind to wander or seek out other activities. Eventually, with practice, I was able to keep myself in check with the same tactics.

I guess I should have posted a shorter reply, they probably saw two full sentences and gave up before even starting.

They are a very handy shoe when it comes time to clean them. Especially nice for jobs where that is every day, or multiple times a day. And honestly, despite being so cheap, they don’t lead to foot problems anywhere near as much as other shoes, even at twice the price.

They may not have much respect, but they are a useful shoe.

Not enough paid humans sorting between which data is examples of good behaviour and which data is examples of bad behaviour. Not saying that is what is happening as we don’t even know if there is data, but that would be the weakness in that plan when run the way it would be run if instituted by elon.

Seems well within the correct amount of far.

Ah, I’m out of touch. When I saw the amount, I just assumed that was indicative of how far the ruble has fallen.

Thus, symbolic of how much they would need to charge to mean anything in USD.

Yeah, I take walks outside so much more in the winter, it’s Autism-friendly season. Lol. Well, at least those of us that are hypersensory, for the hyposensory folks, I suppose I could see them liking the opposite, as they tend to do.

Although snowmobiles and gas-powered snow tools are pretty popular around here, so I gotta take my walks at night still anyway. 2 stroke engines are the bane of a quiet contemplative stroll.

Parking should follow urinal rules. Never use the stall right next to someone else unless it is the only remaining option. And especially if there is only one person at the urinals so far…

Did you get half way through and assume what the rest of the post must say and skip reading it? It seems like you answered a completely different question than the actual joke that was posted.

Actually, they continued the joke.

Discussing it properly is fine as long as they are interested. If they don’t seem interested, then you can boil it down to a simpler analogy. Some kids very much appreciate having the full picture right away, and some need a framework first before details can be added. Most schools use method 2, because it will eventually reach all kids, and the only downside is kids that need/want method 1 will be bored the whole time.
