Comment on How do you handle being around other people? in ~life
xothist Link ParentSounds like you're trying to make the game more serious than everyone else involved wants it to be? Some of the most fun campaigns I've taken part in the DM was just winging it every week.Sounds like you're trying to make the game more serious than everyone else involved wants it to be?

xothist Link ParentThere's a lot of weirdos out there. All my friends are weirdos. I'm a weirdo. It was the most liberating feeling ever learning to openly be my weirdo self.There's a lot of weirdos out there. All my friends are weirdos. I'm a weirdo.

Also, you should add USA as country of origin, not just the city and state for American companies.
For some more general feedback, I think this is such a great idea. However, the way you introduced the project gave me pause. The only way I could see a project like this succeeding is following the Wikipedia model and remaining nonprofit and asking for donations. The minute investors become involved the validity of the ethics scores could come into question, not to mention leveraging community labour to flesh out the scores before capitalizing on it for yourself (and whoever else stands to gain financially) would be quite unethical itself in my opinion.
Just some food for thought.

You'll find over time as you've read more and more on a topic you will be able to spot the lower quality arguments more easily. You are having trouble identifying good sources because you don't know anything about whatever topic at hand.

xothist Link ParentAmazon is a tough one because their success has caused local shops near me to just stop carrying as many regular things you used to be able to buy in person. It's super super annoying. That said,...Amazon is a tough one because their success has caused local shops near me to just stop carrying as many regular things you used to be able to buy in person. It's super super annoying. That said, I deleted my Amazon account coming up on 2 years now and it's been so liberating.

Comment on 'The Ghost in the Shell' just ended, what are your thoughts? in ~anime
xothist Link ParentIt is very well done. The visuals in some of the action scenes is just unreal. Science Saru really put their all into it. If you have even a passing interest you should definitely check it out.It is very well done. The visuals in some of the action scenes is just unreal. Science Saru really put their all into it.

I think I'll start a new playthrough on my 3DS.

While season 3 is a very different Twin Peaks, it was never going to be the same show from 25 years earlier. The last shot of the season was absolutely terrifying. As a fan of most of David Lynch's films, I think The Return is probably my favourite thing he's done.
Here's an interview with Mark Frost about writing S3 with Lynch: https://www.indiewire.com/awards/industry/twin-peaks-the-return-mark-frost-david-lynch-writing-collaboration-1201975099/

edit: I also absolutely loved season 3 when it came out. What a special show.

You can miss a few or whatever, it only grows back slowly. Learning openings to throw in a few sword attacks inbetween parries to keep consistently draining their stamina is the goal. Gotta break the habit of dodging attacks and instead learn the rhythm of attack chains to parry.

1: I had read your blurb about how you've been out of work but you have experience monetizing applications in the past.
2: You said you had no plans for funding at the moment but that part would come later.
3: I read this at at like 530am just after I woke up.
I'm glad to hear my fears were unwarranted, at least as far as what you plan at the moment.
As far as wanting company location to be more accessible, it's just because when browsing the pages on mobile I had to scroll way down to find it and that was annoying.
