To add onto this, you’re also seeing a greater development of the nerd fan, propped up by fantasy football and gambling.

Before, a fan would be interested in their team and maybe a few others. You now have people dedicated to the league, treating it as the RNG running their games. That means knowing all teams, all players, and even how coaching staff will use players as that affects their own games and possibly even their own bottom lines.

I was labeled as gifted growing up, part of it being I was the smartest kid in the classroom in a lot of my classes. That generally meant that no one really celebrated if I did well academically since it was expected. It was really only a celebration if someone beat me. So I never got used to celebrating what I did since it would just piss people off.

My mom would also usually claim my accomplishments as her own since she raised me and my success was due, in large part, to her.

So I got used to not getting a sense of accomplishment when I accomplished something.

Moving out days are a great way to get cheap furniture. Troll apartment buildings at the end of the month and you can usually find some furniture getting thrown out. I still have some dumpster pieces that are in good condition.

There’s nothing like a cool body on a warm summer night.

I assume you are looking for passive methods that aren’t air conditioning.

As others have said, thick walls that have a thermal mass. It helps if you open the building at night to help cool the walls.

The structure should be as light as possible, both the walls and roof, to reflect back light.

Windows should have large awnings so direct light doesn’t enter during summer. Everything should be in the shade.

If you can, you can create a solar chimney by having a large and dark chimney on the south side of your building. Set your building up so that there is a natural air intake which comes from below ground, so you naturally pull in cool air.

Images get a grid. Everything else is a detailed list.

Republicans don’t care.

Yeah. That’s why social media tries to curtail that kind of communication.

It is for the best. Whomever is sending these messages needs help.

The selection process is via an election of cardinals. Generally, if a small group elects someone for a position, that person usually comes from that voting group. Therefore, while not a requirement, an elected pope is generally a cardinal.

Beyond that, a pope has great influence over the Catholic Church. It would be very remarkable that a young person could have that much influence over the cardinals to get elected. It could happen, but the likelihood is rare.

Keep learning new things. This includes things where you will be a novice for your age.

There seems to be a lot of context missing here.

Not really, but I didn’t have unrealistic goals.

I had extended family help fiance my education. Part of that help was tied to the idea that I could take over the loans after college with my own pay, which turned out to be true. If I didn’t get family help, my education options were a lot more limited.

I later had a conversation with one of my parents that my career choice was limited on being able to fund my education after graduation. Extended family members were able to pursue degrees with less earning potential, including a degree in the arts, because their parents were willing to subsidize their expenses during and after college, while I didn’t have that luxury.

I don’t know how achievable your goals are without family monetary support. If you need other peoples’ money to achieve your goals, you need a financial plan to make sure you can do it. If you don’t need anyone else’s money to do what you want, fuck the haters.

The border patrol doesn’t really care as long as the amounts are small. A lot of times, border patrol will even provide the limits.

If you are going to go over and you get inspected, you’re going to need a good reason for what you’ve got. For instance, going for a day trip but coming back with a week’s worth of clothes are going to be a red flag. Border patrol is also going to look at condition of the items if they are at the point they are inspecting the items.

If an indie studio can produce this, why not create a AA CRPG? Do you really need the third A?

Defund the police helped get Eric Adams elected.

Regulations on cartel behavior is usually linked more to price fixing, not industry practice. Also, there is consumer choice on being forced into a single app store, get an Android phone.

And Apple has been forced to allow for in app purchases, the most cartel like behavior between the two stores.

My spelling and grammar are a lot worse when I type on my phone. I also accidentally a word.

I don’t bother with correcting it since I don’t care.

Linux keeps getting more development because it is the cheapest way to develop a platform. It is the reason why almost all servers are Linux and it was used as the basis for Android.

That said, Steam is a wildly profitable company that is self aware enough to not kill its golden goose.
