Also the history of the imagery and the artistic reinterpretation of theme decks such as yours is fascinating. I have one that’s emoji, one that’s all cats, and one that’s designed to look like crayon scribbles in a wide ruled notebook. In each one you can hold up equivalent cards and see how each artist interpreted the individual card under the overall theme.

Tarot is also a great introspective and meditative practice that allows you to mirror your own thoughts back to you and gain a different perspective. Esoteric spiritual practices are by the literal definition of that first word as diverse as the people who practice them.

The older I get the more I lose faith that the concept will ever be used to actually benefit creators.

How many people actually know their cat’s birthday? I wrote mines down on the vet paperwork as Valentine’s because it was September and they said she was probably about 8 months old.

Low key though maybe there should be an open source game version for basic social and life skills. Like a combo between Stardew Valley with the Sims Basic needs bars (oooh display it as Maslow’s Pyramid) but a visual novel with little minigames like you gotta turn the knob to turn the oven off before you walk away.

Social:

• how to get needs met from strangers (shopping, civic tasks)
• how to make small talk / interact with acquaintances
• how to set and keep boundaries in close personal relationships.
• intimate partner relationships
• how to move people between those relationship levels / detect which level they have you in

Life skills:

• cooking and food safety
  • preparing dry pasta / rice / beans
  • preventing food spoilage
  • foods that need to be cooked in a specific way for safety (mostly but not exclusively meat)
  • oven and microwave safety
• Cleaning
  • sanitationn of food prep areas (preventing mold / house pests)
  • sanitation of bedding / relaxation areas
  • basic organization / separating areas by energy level and usage (keep food / nonfood areas separate)
  • washer / dryer safety
• hygiene and bathing
  • hand hygiene
  • wash your genitals front to back (more important for women but also men).
  • dental hygiene
• basic health
  • basic diet (high fiber, low sugar, vitamin c, etc)
  • hydration
  • basic exercise types and safety (cardio, strength, flexibility)
  • sleep hygiene
  • basic types of illness / injury and when to see a doctor
  • OTC medication usage / reading a medication label
  • emotional hygiene (recognizing and naming emotions / mindfulness)

Optional DLCs for specific situations like cultural quirks and specific body stuff like hair types, sex ed (pregnancy / STD prevention is separate so the fucking puritans will still let their kids play the base game).

If people are gonna let ipads raise their kids maybe they could actually learn something, LOL. Look I’m tired of having to teach patients these things on top of their specific illnesses like diabetes OK. They just found out their body is trying to kill them it would be nice if they already knew how to wash their hands. I would love to help write this game if somebody wants to help with the backend.

The real rule is to have a signup sheet with categories where if there’s a category with the least signups the current RSVP must pick that one. The base categories for general parties are, Entree, side, dessert, and non-food supplies (cups / cutlery / plates / napkins). If you’re going low waste that last person can bring nothing and be assigned to assist with cleanup / washing the dishes.

Ancient Greek Philosophy has entered the chat

I read “premium premium” which is both spiritually similar and also just fucking hilarious.

…now guess what it means if a patient is S.O.B.

Nurse life has me nodding along to this while eating lunch.

☝️

Apparently a hospital in my network is trialing a tool to generate assessment flowsheets based on an audio recording of a nurse talking aloud while doing a head to toe assessment. So if they say, you’ve got a little swelling in your legs it’ll mark down bilateral edema under the peripheral vascular section. You have to review before submitting but it seems nice.

Is it still made by a human if they use the stroke smoothing, clone healing, or edge detection tools in photoshop or gimp? Where’s your exact line?

I won’t say my grammar is perfect, but I do try not to misspell things and insult other people’s intelligence at the same time.

I’ve spent my whole adulthood working in hospitals. They’re shitholes, every single last one of them. Do every single thing you can to never be in one.

Drink water, plain water. Eat whole grains and leafy vegetables. Treat red meat like a dessert (and if you’re morally opposed to meat, make sure you’re still getting all your essential proteins). Find a physical activity you enjoy and do it at least three times a week. Either join an organized religion or specifically curate a group of people you do a weekly activity with who will come check on you if you suddenly stop showing up. And while you’re at it pick a mindfulness activity that you either enjoy or that brings you peace (prayer qualifies but so can yoga or a lot of other things). Avoid nicotine and alcohol at all costs. Go easy on the weed, and avoid anything more interesting without guidance from either a medical professional or some kind of traditional expert on those substances. And if a competent doctor listens to your specific situation and tells you to do or not do something I’ve mentioned, listen to them instead of me.

Decide who you would want to speak for you on your death or near-deathbed. Choose people both trustworthy and level-headed who will put your wishes over their own emotions. Choose multiple people, because it’s not unlikely that any one person will be in the car wreck with you. Talk to those people about what you want to happen or not happen so they can best carry out your wishes. Sign some kind of legally binding paperwork that cements them as the decision maker, especially if your first choice is not the default the state would choose (parent, spouse, sibling, adult child, etc). You can write whatever you want then to do on the paper, but the chosen person will have the right to override it if they think you would want them to. So sign the paper but don’t forget to TALK to them about it.

And good luck because while this will give you the best odds, the universe might also just decide to fuck you in particular anyway.

It is but one of the older versions that eliminated the “eat the whole map” mode that was the best mode. Also I can’t get it to load the second level so idk if there’s even any other map types (my second favorite is the office but it’s even a bit too easy.

Hole . io (spaces otherwise it’ll create a link). It’s an ad and transaction ridden garbage game but it’s so satisfying and nothing else in that subgenre has graphics that cute.

Honestly I’ve found the effects are more personal. I like interacting with the sh mods more; they’re a good combo of decent morals but also playful irreverence. They don’t get on me for honest jokes, but they’re also very willing to be like nah buddy it’s time to log off for a few days when they need to. (Hubs prefers the Twitter format if anybody knows a masto instance with similar vibes)
