Reading instead of just doing audio books. I do both now but I read the book first and if I like it then I listen to it while I bike

Also, started biking.

And very recently someone gave me a week long access key to WoW forever. I played the original before any expansions and loved it back then, but whenever I checked out new expansions it was just too different. WoW Forever is like classic but with a little new stuff and QoL, plus with its recent release its populated and feels like it did when I first played.

No. Self harm is a directly applied thing, damage for the purpose of the damage. Drugs are damaging, yes, but not used in the same way as self-harm. With drugs the damage is secondary, the high is the primary goal.

Its been deleted :/

Altered Carbon S1 is really good, but its still different from the book. Maybe by like 30%, so some key things change, but the show is still solid. S2 of AC is entirely different from what I recall of the show though so Im not sure I can advise going beyond season 1.

Oh and not too long ago I read the two books from the upcoming Exodus game, written by Peter F. Hamilton (Exodus: The Archimedes Engine, and Exodus: The Helium Sea), Neat setting and some good characters, but there was too much detail on seemingly unimportant things for my tastes. I felt like they could have trimmed it more. But I suppose others might like the extra details

Ill add them to the list!

I finished the Takeshi Kovacs novels (Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, Woken Furies) from Richard K Morgan. They were good. He likes to use the word ‘laconic’ a lot though lol.

Now Im reading Leviathan Wakes (1st book of The Expanse series) by James S.A. Corey which I learned a bit ago is actually 2 people: Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham. It has also been good.

yeah, some people confuse “I dont want to promote this” with “this should be punished with downvotes”

If ppl dont like a question they should just not engage or upvote

22% is Serious Mental Illness only, not mental health issues in general. Different classifications.

lol, well I guess if you gamble then you lose. Fuck polymarket, fuck kalshi, fuck ‘prediction markets’ and fuck gambling

No, statistically most of them suffer from psychological issues and society has failed to support them. We have enough wealth and resources to support everyone, the fact that we do not is a choice society has made to prioritize the concentration of wealth and let others suffer and starve.

76.2% of homeless individuals in high-income countries have at least one current mental disorder (per mhstats.org)

• Over three-quarters of people experiencing homelessness in high-income countries have a current mental disorder, a rate significantly higher than the general population. 76.2%
• Serious Mental Illness (SMI) affects approximately 22% of homeless adults, a rate nearly four times that of the general population.
• Substance use disorders are exceptionally common, with alcohol use disorders affecting 36.7% of the homeless population—a rate nearly 10 times higher than housed individuals.
• Access to care is severely limited; only 30% of homeless adults with a severe mental illness receive adequate mental healthcare, and up to 60% struggle with medication adherence.
• Homeless youth are a particularly vulnerable group, with nearly 40% identifying as LGBTQ+ and suicide attempt rates reaching as high as 33% for those who have also run away.
• The ‘Housing First’ model proves highly effective, with over 90% of participants remaining stably housed by prioritizing permanent housing with integrated, voluntary support services. >90%

Absolute garbage AI meme

Youre just a racist

and it had Nathan Fillion!

ME2 is amazing and ME1 was great. 3 had good mechanics but worse writing, and Andromeda was terrible on many fronts but the ability to change your build on the fly was cool.

When I talk about Exodus and Expanse Im talking more about the style of third-person sci-fi RPGs with companions.

I guess Exodus and the Expanse game will have to fill that void

Abstaining from voting is just a vote to let others choose for you. It does not exempt you from the system.

Also details make a story. Otherwise it might be something like: “This guy hit someone with a car. End of story”
