Yeah most of my skills are in the 40's aside from fishing and foraging from lots of magnet fishing

Total level 443 so far and while the core loop was already good the new content has really elevated the experience

Started playing BAR recently and am loving it. Prior to this I'd only played some SC2 and watched some videos about FAF.

I've been playing with my 8yr kiddo against bots as we both learn the mechanics. The amount you can customize a match has been great.

Also been watching the pro league tournaments on their YouTube channel which are great fun to watch.

Previous HR was well beyond retirement age essentially working to have something to do and one day emailed all of management a spreadsheet asking us to verify our information. That sheet contained each of our full names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, social security number, etc.

To my knowledge nothing of significance happened. I have my credit frozen.

Thank you; it's been a long, hard road for sure and our kiddos are now grown and doing well. We took the lessons learned and went into foster / adoption and now have a large family which has been a huge learning experience of its own.

That was me. Girlfriend and I got pregnant when I was 15 and again at 17. Kept both and got a job. Studied hard and graduated 19th in my class with honors. Ton of negativity from school staff and loss of friends which is still hard to let go of. We did marry the fall after I graduated and after years of poverty things have slowly gotten more stable.

He sounds like a wise man. Congratulations on the move and hope you both a great life :)

Kids ask for a YouTube show, I get to evaluate and then they get safe watching

We have a big family and have named ours:

• Beast = 2004 Ford Excursion
• Burgundy = 2011 Honda Odyssey (dark red)
• Bus = 2004 Ford Econoline E350

It never gets old yelling down the hall "to the beast!" :D

Ditto - oldest email I still have in archive is from Nov. 2006 so at least that old

Tried these recently as well; found a plastic cup that cut the holes perfectly. Kiddos loved them.

Water fountain

She absolutely preferred it over a standard bowl

95% is closer to what board game publishers take - best I've seen is 10% for the designer

Granted they have a lot more to lose

From that perspective seems Steam is perfectly fine

Most certainly

MyAnonamouse is the first place where I really saw attention drawn to encourage port forwarding and after seeing the difference will always have ports forwarded

Is that the Logitech MX Ergo? Love that mouse

Thank you and thank you also for the conversation

I would say that prohibition of local abortion healthcare is not the answer regardless as to what other options are available.

Since writing the OP I've found a local pregnancy center that offers services in alignment with the above that is in need of male volunteers. I'll have my orientation next week and hope to be of help there.

start a car service that ONLY gives free rides to women and one or two support people

A transportation service is a great idea, thank you for sharing

Minetest is actually what we play - I host a server for me and my kiddos and have tried out several different games / mods

Currently preparing to move back to Asuna with an increase in mob mods and some of our other favorites

Minecraft and other open-ended games without much guidance toward specific goals.

While I do enjoy freely exploring a large open world I also lose track of the point of playing at all... add some quest objectives or something and it's perfect.

Ditto here - I get bored super fast when gaming alone but put me on a server with others and I can easily play for hours

This and a proper height pillow for your sleep position

I sleep on my side and needed a thicker pillow to better align my neck for example

Ditto though '84

VoxeLibre is designed to be very similar to Minecraft without needing to tinker with mods or settings so I would definitely suggest starting there

That said we've ran several different Minetest worlds and our other favorite was Asuna with additional mods

Thank for responding; I share your passion around the issue

I am assuming you are in the US, in that case there are little programs available to help a woman raise a child she does not want especially if it is a red state.

This is the kind of information I am looking for

They do little background checks on people who foster and adopt

As a foster parent of 8.5 years this is highly variable on the area; ours for example was extremely thorough and we were able to see several children's lives improved through their placements - I do not however want to discount that the opposite does also happen though I do not have the answer as to any better solution beyond providing significantly more support to all areas of the foster system. We need more well-meaning people to get involved both as social workers and especially as foster / adoptive parents.

In my opinion, the logical path for straddling both sides is to leave the pregant woman’s choice 100% intact, but then make it easy for her to choose the pregnancy. In other words, universal healthcare, a high-quality child care network, maternity leave, and assistance for getting the child adopted. Preventing unwanted pregnancies by providing contraceptives also helps a lot. I feel like that’s also why this discussion hardly exists in developed nations outside of the US, because they have these things.

Agreed and I think this is where the group is aiming along with myself as well

Agreed and so far all of my interactions with their team have matched that stance so I am hopeful.

+1 for Minetest

I run a server on our local network that kiddos love

It was fairly simple to setup including which game type and mods

Kiddos have gotten back into the Pokemon card game so we're likely playing Pokemon TCG Live

Also hoping to finally break in the Nexalis ttrpg I've had on the shelf for a while now with the teens

Firing up the grill for Father's Day and inviting over both sets of parents; will have 4 generations together <3

Will likely throw some wood on the coals after to roast marshmallows and make s'mores for dessert :)

I'm a certified forklift trainer and the training I needed for that was a single day that ended in a simple test...

I can do this as well and find it useful for other devices that use a lot of button presses such as TV volume etc

That's great! He's welcome to message me as well if that might help break the ice a bit more.

This may help: https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_listening_to_shame

In short: making yourself vulnerable (such as processing these issues) is courage - it's not weakness

Sometimes us guys need to hear that - I know I personally absolutely hate to break in front of others and that makes processing a very isolating experience that feeds depression unless I'm intentional about that processing

We have a 3-week old black kitten we've named Slate

Started playing FFXIV again after not playing since 2013. Decided to delete my character and start fresh as I don't remember the story etc. and am just going to take my time enjoying everything over again.

Yep! I have a Cosori kettle that's been working great (and outlasted my first two pots lol)

Steel tea pot - I drink a pot every day but last couple pots were both glass and only last a couple months before breaking (both my fault) so upgraded to steel and so far my clumsiness hasn't yet managed to break it

I drink a pot of camomile every day. 1st cup is still hot while rest is more lukewarm.
