Sounds like exactly the kind of duckspeak conspiracy I’ve come to expect around here

Depending on what you mean by “locked away for 20 years”, you may never be “on the same page” as society.

You can still live a meaningful life, and you can still be a part of society. But being “on the same page” might require you to focus on helping other victims of heinous crimes.

One who has been through the darkness can help by being a guide to others who are still in or recently emerged from that same darkness.

If you’re a man I recommend joining a men’s group.

No. Practically and helpfully true.

Your job right now is to recognize that your optimal move isn’t figuring out how well this application is going, but rather putting in more applications.

There is almost never a reason to stop applying. Knowing your odds on this job doesn’t really help. Sending out more applications does.

There went all his hopes for an army career. No more pitching for the Mets. No more professional arm wrestling. No more rowing competitions, or stirring huge pots of gruel.

A ten year old can rush out into the road and become paralyzed for life.

I got my 75 year old father into video games.

With him, I started by getting him an xbox and an xbox live account (which allows playing multiplayer games online).

We play World of Tanks now together quite a bit.

He looks exactly like he sounds.

Do you have evidence of this mass banning wave you’re referring to?

what?

The replacement of the term “conspiracy theory” with just “conspiracy”.

That’s two different things. If we equate the two semantically we can’t discuss them.

That’s now how people in my subculture use it.

They use it to mean “it’s too late to avoid this problem; let’s talk about things we can change at this point”.

Example:

“If you hadn’t stopped at that rest area the killer never would have slashed our tires”

“Well if you hadn’t jumped for those cheap tires maybe he wouldn’t have been able to slash them with a butter knife”

“And if you’d paid for the triple A we’d have a ride by now”

“Look, it is what it is. Let’s just figure out a way to get back to town without having to follow the road”

As someone in his 40s who struggles to pay bills, all I can say is that sculpting is a horrible career path for someone who’s not into it.

A career needs at least (ideally both) passion and earning potential. If you aren’t into the sculpting, drop out of whatever expensive program you’re taking immediately.

Given a choice between the two, I recommend passion over money. Mostly because in my own experience, I can’t keep a job when there’s no passion, so it doesn’t matter how much money it is.

Some people are stronger than me though, and can just power through a job without passion. If you have that ability, that discipline, then it’s okay to seek money.

For me it just doesn’t work. I don’t have enough dopamine to get out of bed every day and actually keep the high paying job if it’s wrong.

That being said, passion itself is on the same spectrum as goodness. I can do a job I don’t really care much about, so long as the boss doesn’t require me to lie or hurt people while doing it. Like, I can flip burgers as long as it’s a fair situation.

I’m kind of an outlier. Take my advice with a grain of salt.

But my basic advice is that unless there’s some sculpture career pipeline I’m not aware of that’s gonna lead to big bucks, if you ain’t into sculpting you gotta fucking stop yesterday. Especially if you’re paying lots of money to pursue it.

So it wasn’t accurate when you said he “couldn’t” figure it out.

I’d love it if we let it develop organically.

The gunslinger.

bluntly, those people are not scientists

I’ll have to look up the names, but those people are literally climate scientists. I’ve heard them interviewed.

I’ll read the rest of your comment later when I have more time but if that’s your starting assumption you can just reconsider your whole position now because the things I reported came from the mouths of scientists.

eminent domain doesn’t require cooperation

From that gif it looks like the sky hook has to be orbiting. But then its release point is giving objects twice the velocity required for orbit.

I will say it’s pretty fucked up how the notion of a textbook delusion involving one being targeted by a group, socially isolates any individual who is targeted by a group.

I have an extremely rich fellow dedicating millions to an ongoing campaign. It’s personal, and it’s tailor made for me. I’m quite socially isolated anyway, so there’s no one close enough to me to care, let alone actually believe me when I say my reasons for believing this.
