That is lovely and amazing life advice, but OP also stated that they received this money for participating in a focus group. I keep giggling at the thought of them going back and interrupting another focus group to show off what they bought with their $75. Then, a couple years later, trying to squeeze out an emotional response by looking at a gift card sleeve that said, “thank you for your participation.”

I’m having an okay day, but primarily struggling with my ADHD and, therefore, time management. I’d appreciate any suggestions to feel a little bit better.

No, I’m not a No Man’s Sky fan. I’m a recovering No Man’s Sky addict. If retirement exists in the future, I hope this game still exists, cuz I’m gonna ruin whatever remains of my life with it.

There are German towns surrounding San Antonio, such as Gruene (pronounced Green, because we’re heathens), with everything from traditional to fusion German foods. Anyone who treats mustard like its own food group is alright with me.

But with the writing, directing, and editing of a shitty horror movie. Just s-tier VFX carrying the world’s most hopeless movie.

I got all you losers beat:
- Console with RCA connectors or ant>RCA adapter
- Plugged into the video-in adapter on my camcorder
- Hooked up via firewire 400 to my sister’s 2000 iMac
- Running in cracked video editing software
- Didn’t know how to resize the windows, so my game only took up about 20% of the CRT
I bet y’all can’t even handle how jealous you are of my sweaty ass being cooked by humming electronics while failing levels over and over due to unnecessary latency.
I used this setup when I was grounded, which was frequent. Which also meant that I had to be really quick-like in setup and teardown and always had to pack everything back up when I was finished/heard the garage door open, to hide the evidence. My dad would check the temperatures of all the TVs around the house to make sure I wasn’t using them, but I was allowed to use the computer for homework and video editing.

My family gets upset when I reference Hitler and his buddies as the creative source material for our current sequel/reboot. The fact that our president had previously bragged about studying books by and about Hitler isn’t a problem, but it’s only a problem that I bring it up.

Different parts of the family tree, but pre-Soviet Ukraine and Poland.
The Ukrainian family was erased over a period spanning from pre-WWI to pre-WWII. Around the time of the Bolshevik Revolution, a large portion was killed for having too close of ties with the Romanov family, and for taking advantage of the commoners. They incorrectly assumed that their social status would keep them safe. By the time that bolshevism fell out of style, anyone who remained was killed off for their radical support for empowering the commoners. Over just a couple of decades, a relatively vast family name was completely wiped out from a vast number of cities and villages. The only thing they all seemed to have in common with each other and those miles alongside them was their religion.
The Polish family either snuck out of Poland around the time that Nazism was becoming more popular, or died. One family member survived after their parents left them with some Catholic friends, and another two family members shockingly survived the concentration camps. My memories of one of them was how hard they’d cry when they’d see any portion of their numeric tattoo.
Now the living parts of the Ukrainian family live throughout the Americas, and believe that fascist leaders have redeeming qualities. Meanwhile, the Polish family is mostly in Israel and is mostly super-cool with Palestinian genocide. Imagine struggling so hard to survive, just for your offspring to perpetuate or promote the same shit that you escaped from.

Well, that’s good news. I actively stopped paying attention to new Scooby news after how hurt he expressed feeling. I wish Warner would stop making it so morally difficult to enjoy their IPs and support their creators.

I’m acquiring a little gold. Not a lot, but enough.
What’s enough? When my family was escaping persecution, they managed to travel under the cover of night and stayed in people’s barns and homes during the day. They planned and managed these arrangements via transactions using gold coins, links or pieces of jewelry, or other relatively universal valuables. They also got away a couple of times using the same goods to bribe authorities.
A small number of generations of my family dealt with being told that their money or credit was devalued due to their religion, profession, or relationship to public figures. In those instances, the family members who fled survived, and most of the ones who didn’t flee died.
I don’t know that I have much faith in my ability to flee anything, so I’m not investing that much time or money into acquiring gold things. Found some old watches from my grandparents/great-grandparents that claim to have gold in them. Have a couple of my own little things and jewelry I’ve given my wife. All just things when the time to survive arrives. Which it might not ever.
I hope this somewhat answered your question.
