But staying in the state of indecision means staying somewhere that isn't working, right? Like in the relationship example, you still need to make a decision about whether to stay together and if so, how to change the patterns that aren't working. Deciding not to make a decision won't get you unstuck

It's been a really good hobby for me to wind down when things are stressful.
I've noticed it makes great practice for noticing and appreciating my surroundings. A year ago I started a little project to document the bird species living near my work office. Its in a pretty developed area, so I figured there wouldn't be too much to find...but since then, I've been able to concretely ID ~60 species, tentatively ID another dozen, and there are still a bunch of seasonal visitors that are a total mystery to me. I never would have guessed there were so many living here! But now I notice them, and it brings me a smile

It's been interesting watching the platform take shape... I'm still not a particularly frequent user but I like the vibes on Gander better than most other platforms I've tried out. I hope they will be successful in building a more positive social media platform

But if they can keep this quality to the end of the series, that would be worth waiting years for. At least for me. I definitely agree it's pretty enough to hang up on the wall

Qifrey, Coco, and Rice sound just right to me. I'm curious about what direction they'll go with Olrugio.
I'm also excited to see how this adaptation handles the second test, especially the setting and the creatures. I think it's gonna be great

The first few episodes of the anime have been pretty good in my opinion! I've been pleasantly surprised by how much of the lovely art style has been captured in this adaptation so far. The storybook sequences are beautiful--cant wait to see what's next!

If I am not mistaken, this is the deadliest school shooting perpetrated in Canada since the Montreal massacre in 1989.

Pizza Possum : Play as a criminal opposum whose mission is to break into the Corgi King's castle and swipe his royal pizza. Scramble around town, gobbling up as much food as you can and dodging the patrolling guard dogs. Hectic and funny, especially in co-op
-
Little Kitty Big City : an indoor cat accidentally winds up far from home and must navigate a busy city neighbourhood to return. Very cute style, more laid back pace.
-
RailBound : A cute puzzle game, in this one you set train tracks on a grid to build paths for the trains. The train conductors are cartoon dogs, which I consider an important feature. One of them has a mustache
Honorable mentions: Portal & Portal 2, Crypt Custodian, Monster Sanctuary, A Short Hike, Alba Wildlife Adventure

Comment on Hi, how are you? Mental health support and discussion thread (April 2025) in ~health.mental
Rat-Circus Link ParentYeah I also suspect space blindness is a thing for ADHD. I have a hard time remembering directions/routes unless it's in a place where I'm already very familiar.

I can't picture the map in my head to render it by. I kind of wonder if it might be related to how ADHD affects working memory?

There's lots of options in terms of how to prepare them so you can decide how much sugar or salt is in there.

I think we are in agreement, what you describe is what I mean when I say indecision is an important signal to reflect on :)
