@Auspice I'm not going to lie. I kinda wanted to helicopter it.
However, I'm down. Let's do this.

I'm going to play with all these listed alts, be aware. Especially @Kanye-Qwest because that one looks like FIRE.
(watches all the alts get deleted - damn brah)
My first reaction to weed was to find everything hysterical, want to eat everything, and then sleep. I kept laughing at some violent horror movie and was like.. dude, this is fucked up. It's not funny and I can't stop laughing.
THEN...
I maybe did too many edibles the first time I tried those. That's when I went mission impossible about being TOO HIGH. I googled (exact wording) 'How to get unhigh' -- Then I went down stairs pressed against a wall so 'no one would suspect'. Then I took a /hot/ shower. Yeah, yeah. Then I got the spins. Finally, I just fell asleep.
@Ganymede Now I'm going to have to make a NOLA char. If I do, it's because of you. Know that. Own that.
@Auspice I never played there, but I want to know what it stands for.
<eyes the cheezit box she's eating out of IRL>
I don't feel attacked. Nope
Good on getting out and moving though!!
I think don't be a jerk is always a good one. Saying staff retains the right to ask anyone to leave.
I know, personally (as in just me), when the rules are basic (don't be a jerk, etc). I'm more like okay. I get that. When they are super structured (listed out about specifics like no this and no that) two things happen. One, I worry that the staff are going to be power-tripping with their way or get off my fucking road. Which isn't fun if you can't offer communication. Two, that they are reacting to a fallout that wrecked the game for a time - as in oh, Mu* who hurt you?
I'm still not talking to the AI after it gave me a dog and then made me a dog murderer #OhNoYouDidNot
@Herja Oh hon! I went through that last year and the holidays. I didn't expect it either. Just know it's okay and reach out however you need to, so that you feel better.
It's okay to be affected.
I'll keep you in my thoughts. Because it does suck and I understand.
@silverfox Or when you are a teenage girl who's already being shamed for having sex and now this. Or really anyone. I'm a grown ass woman and I still get looks when I buy condoms.
The number in a scene that overwhelms me is conditional. If I'm work stressed, I can't do large scenes. if I'm having a focus issue RL - can't do it.
I also tend to have a very energetic character and that expends a lot of OOC energy to play. Also, I get super self-conscious that I'm boring people, or I worry about my posing style, or my pose size. That's not a please give me compliments, it's a I probably have social anxiety/imposter syndrome.
I think a good scene is 3-4, although for deep char development I find 2 is good. You can really focus on the other person and in turn be focused on.
(Double Post - Not Sorry)
So this is probably a lame thing, but still. I've been so out of sorts RL. I'm not going to bore with details. I took off the entire weekend paid to just have time off. I woke up today. Then I proceeded to clean the house and make dinner, etc. I got so much done and I just feel really accomplished outside of my work life. It's been awhile since I felt like that. So RL thing I love today.
@Tinuviel I think it will always be a surprise to me. I mean, I tend to always think better of people. That just sucks though.
I know it's my job to care. I know this. I do. However, when I'm understaffed, being pulled in five directions, holding 4 interviews (PS. 2 no called/no showed), writing schedules, listening to people complain because they can't have a day they put in for yesterday for next week, having management say its great that I hit those goals - let's add three more unattainable ones for shits and giggles AND let's try to keep it to 40 hours a week (nevermind I haven't done that since oh.. April), a customer is pretty sure that the person who's waiting on the person in front of her is ignoring her on purpose because she's white (they are too btw), oh and could I maybe go to another department and deal with their customer complaints because I'm 'so good at it' ---- Maybe, just maybe, no. No I don't want to hear about you ranting for 45 fucking minutes that someone was mean to you because you think you are too above doing your job.
There is not enough alcohol in my house for this.
Ps. Thank you for reading MY rant.
I think it boils down to, there is no right answer and answers that are coming are hard ones to make. I'm not going into my life specifics because, frankly, it doesn't matter. This is all opinion for the most part. I think people are basically good and their hearts go out to anyone that is suffering. I think people that help by giving food/giving money/working towards social reform/etc are helping how they choose to. It might not be how all choose to do it, but they are doing something.
I don't think this is a one-up-game. There are times I give money and there are times that I can't put enough in my budget to make ends meet. There are times I've needed money. I lived in a state that people made six figures a year panhandling (I'm not saying homeless just the act of panhandling). Sure there are studies about it, but people in this vein aren't robbing people. This is money handed over to them.
Sure, maybe it's under false pretenses, but there is a lot in life that is like that. We buy a laptop for X amount of money and then find out that the next year the operating system doesn't work. We made that choice. We take a salary position and then we work out how much we actually make an hour after we see how many hours we put in. We made that choice. Or you think benefits are included and aren't. I know these are not on the same par as homeless or panhandling, but they are decisions we make with our money. If you give money to a panhandler. That's up to you. If you give it to the state to try to win the lottery that's up to you.
If they are using it for drugs. They are using it for drugs. If they are using it just to pay their bills or because they found a way to make six figures a year. More on them.
I'm likely to give my time and my money to organizations helping the homeless or my real heart of hearts is women (and men) fleeing domestic violence. This doesn't make me a saint or sinner. It just makes a choice I make in life. These are hard topics and the right thing is a hard thing to know or to judge because people have things that have happened in their lives to form their personal choices. You can't know them. I don't think you should judge them. I just think you should know that most people are helping how they can and how they feel comfortable.
This is however, just my opinion, so you can take that as you will.
What about other people's computers? I took my sister's phone and looked up:
How to murder your sister and get away with it.
Then I slid it back to her and said, "Insurance."
WHY?!
Why does it have to be so expensive to order a birth certificate?
Sorry, carry on.
No Five Finger Death Punch. NO.
I appreciate you, but do not re-make house of the rising sun
