    A weight tax sounds like a great idea. As it is now car manufacturers have no incentive to manufacture actual cars and I’d really like to buy a new one.

    I just got one of these specifically to get rid of my usb dongles. Can confirm it works with Bluetooth out of the box. It was a little more money than I ever thought I’d spend on a keyboard but I love it.

    They also have a smaller keyboard of the same style but without the numpad.

    Experiment away! The only thing I’d suggest is if you feel the need to add sour cream I’d suggest yogurt instead. Sour cream separates and gets a little weird when heated whereas yogurt takes to it very well and should work better for you.

    I don’t know how other industries are and I don’t have a ton of experience hiring via LinkedIn but of the hundreds of applications I’ve received through it I haven’t gotten a single cover letter.

    I’m not in a spot to listen to music right now but your description reminded me of a band I found a couple years ago. Mainly raw emotions and authenticity.

    Check out Wednesday. You might enjoy them for the same reasons. They’re not my usual genre but every once in a while I find a band that does what they do so well I can’t help but love them.

    I’ll definitely look into Psí Vojáci when I can.

    Some other people have already pointed out the genre of post rock which perfectly answers the question and is one of my favorite genres but if you’re looking for some non-post-rock (ok a few of these songs are post rock bands) that do the same I have a playlist on Spotify of some of my favorites.

    Oh no! I apologize for making you feel that way. I meant the negativity you were talking about in your comment. I was pretty sure I was phrasing that in a terrible way but hoped that I was wrong.

    I’m looking for better ways to express myself and describe it. Not just when I’m talking to them but for myself.

    Ive been diagnosed with GAD and probably have some other stuff that hasn’t been diagnosed. I finally found a therapist that I like but I struggle with finding a word to describe what I’m feeling during “episodes” besides crazy. Do you have any recommendations on positive vocabulary?

    I don’t know where your caffeine intolerance comes from but I went from not believing caffeine did anything to not being able to drink a can of soda in my late twenties. I started taking an anti anxiety medication and while I still try not to drink caffeine I at least can. I would like to find something that works because it helps working at home so much but my body hates coffee and iced tea gives me kidney stones (I think, being overly cautious of my genetics).

    The series is popular but apparently I’m the only one that loved the N64/ps1 3D castlevanias. I only played one as a kid but I played the rest in college on emulator. They were clunky sure but at the time they were pretty unique (at least to me, I could only play the games my friends had).

    Everyone calls Dark Souls 1 a Zelda game but I think it’s what those 3D castlevanias could have been. I feel lucky that it’s become a popular genre.

    It took me a year to find a therapist I thought I wanted to talk to that wasn’t fully booked. Don’t shut down the idea of therapy there are a ton of them ranging from social workers to clinical psychologists. None of them push drugs on you. I really like mine. He’s basically been a shaman for me while we understand the hallucinations I had when I was a teenager.

    I got this on switch late last year to play in the airport while I was traveling for work. I have a pretty big catalog of games on it unfinished for the same reason. This was the first one I completed after I got home because it was so good. It’s definitely obtuse at times but I highly recommend it.
