unfortunately, being familiar with the game, no it's toxic af. It's debateable if Nicole has any feelings at all toward Ari beyond just the personal gratification of treating her poorly.
One of the routes has Nicole bullying Ari so hard that Ari decides to date men again because Nicole has ruined her on the concept of dating women, and Nicole's kinda just proud of it.
probably won't be able to find out how your own brain is structured without getting a scan, but your local university neuroscience lab might be interested in a free test subject and would give you a scan in exchange for studying your brain.
it's a bit of a "chicken and egg" problem, but yes studies show that conservatives typically have an overactive amygdala. now, is it overactive because they're conservative, or are they conservative because it's overactive? hard to say.
I dunno if it was the best, but the pizza that lives in my memory was a whopping 24" pizza from a local place. That's over 450 square inches of 'za, or 11 square meters for the Europeans.
It was glorious, and took four incredibly high stoners about a day and a half to work through.
I've always felt like you'd prefer for your non-dominant hand to become the chainsaw. that way you could still hold a pistol with your dominant hand. Ash didn't really get to choose which hand he lost, so he had to make do.
yeah let's just conveniently ignore the part where nearly the same number of adolescent girls also think violence should be used to oppose feminism. That part is very interesting, and a reason why this research is important.
I'm talking from a US perspective, but I work in an education adjacent field that reviews a lot of homeschool student's academic records from across the country. IMO, there are two types of homeschoolers. There's the students who are truly brilliant living in a part of the country that doesn't value education, and they're practically forced into homeschooling (or a popular online program like Stanford Online High School) in order to receive an actual education that could challenge them. They do get less socialization than their traditional schooled peers, but they'd get mercilessly bullied at a traditional school so it's hard to say how much value that socialization has.
The other type are the religious fundies. I have even more hands-on experience with this style, as some of my cousins were homeschooled in this manner. IMO, this shit should be illegal. It's accepted because someone is typically monitoring these students' academic progress, but I can say with confidence that Republican states are letting a lot of shit slide. It's religious indoctrination at a level beyond what you would even find at a religious private school. Typically, these students are better socialized than the other homeschool students, though with the caveat that all their socialization happens in religious settings.
sorry did I miss an announcement that Fallout 3 is getting a remaster?
New Vegas is the better game, sure, but 3 is really showing it's age and I've had issues getting it running stable on modern hardware. New Vegas is no spring chicken, but I'd say it generally runs better. Are we just doing a remaster to try and capitalize on the TV show hype?
sorry full of valuable resources? what, corn? dataservers? pedophiles?
the U.S. is not some piggy bank waiting to be cracked. Realistically, the current US military exists to defend America from all the nations it's pissed off by invading them in the past. It's a self-fullfilling system.
actually, from a historical perspective, it's been the Dems who have accelerated ICE. Biden and especially Obama were much more instrumental in the agency coming into more and more power. Trump's getting to play with the toy now, but it was bought by Dems.
Might also have been the case where FromSoft had a better position when negotiating their contract with Sony when they made Bloodborne than when they made Demon's Souls. Could be that Sony's contract meant they owned enough of the Demon's Souls IP that they were allowed to cut FromSoft out and have Bluepoint make the remake, but the Bloodborne contract has most of the rights in the hands of FromSoft.
just started waxing my legs again. I thought I was safe because it's almost spring and last weekend it was like 70°F.
