I followed this, but with obsessive compulsive personality disorder.

I heard an interview of Fletcher Wortmann on npr, and his experience sounded like we lived the same life… Same exact things, just different names.

Yes, but I can’t have my arms pinned or restrained

Use Meetup to find people who share interests, and go to secondary meetups with people you get to know in those circles. It’s not a fast process, but you get to know some cool dudes

I was diagnosed at 39, and the most frustrating part was that when I shared it with my mom, her response was “well duh”

The years of bullying from “friends” and family all condensed into one flippant dismissal

Things make more sense now: why I left my childhood birthday parties at the start, why my “friends” stole from me, the years of being bullied by my family

I can’t go back, but I can get angry at myself. I have always been the easiest person to pick on

Sugar cane juice! (Comes in a can, does that count?)

Honorable mention: coconut la Croix.

Love me some canned static

Lol, nice! Love the result, but quad skeletons really need their own anims 🤣

Same here, test engineer with a masters in game design 😓. Caught the layoffs Mary 2024. Hard to work on anything satisfying when I’m busy paying rent

Not sure what your uncle has to do with it. Be the change you want to see in the world my dude 😎

I worked with him both directly and tangentially at Blizzard for a few years, and with his dad for longer. He’s the real deal, and has a real level head about the industry.

If you disagree with his point, say that instead of using this type of attack on his person. That’s just rude.

Not quite “Time Killers” level of limb to button assignment, but a line that I had not drawn in the AC control scheme!

That’s me! I cut Reddit it when they turned off RIF, and never looked back. I also add -reddit to searches so I don’t give them any traffic

That would be nice, maybe this would work? Blavingad

It was in Mexico. No dice 😑. That being said, we didn’t have to pay for any of the dives, and they offered to buy dinner for him. He was ill for a day or two, so we didn’t get to exercise it

My dad, my brother(13) and I (16) were on a resort scuba dive (we borrow their gear, and get a ride on their boat, and follow their leader during the dive). Descending down a line, with my dad following the dive lead, then me, then my brother.

About 60 feet deep, I see my dad jerk suddenly, followed by a bunch of bubbles. I see him grab his octopus… Another spasm and more bubbles.

I watch as he swims down to the dive leader, and grabs his octopus, taking in and releasing a breath. He signals to dive lead he needs to surface. Dive lead grabs his octopus and replaced it with my dad’s original regulator… Another spasm, and he begins emergency surfacing. My brother and I follow. Dive lead has a Merry dive all alone.

At the surface, we find that the rubber bits on my dad’s equipment (regulator, and octopus) had deteriorated, and broken at depth. He had lungs full of water, and spent the next half hour barfing and coughing it up.

That’s about all I got, still brings me to tears twenty some odd years later to just think about it

Once for each hand, obviously 😅

Yeah, most awkward job interview I have ever had
