I am mournful about the lack of connection you have with your mother. My fellow Bible study partner expressed a similar predicament where he wrote his mom expressing how in spite of their poor relationship he had made a successful life for himself and was the father of two daughters as well as being a lead manager for an engineering company. He explained that to this day she hasn't responded nor does he expect her to either. Even still he is thankful to her for at least giving him the opportunity to have lived. It doesn't stop him from choosing what he wanted from the relationship which was to be loving even if it's one sided. Currently this man is facing a serious genetic disease that's causing early hardening of his heart's arteries and doesn't know if he will see his youngest daughter's graduation as doctors told him most with this condition die before age 50. So the take away is that he leans on Christ's wisdom to view the world the way it should be rather than being ruled by its reality. To be the father that loves his daughters how he wished his mom could have as well as standing as a pillar of guidance and support to the church he supports. That man has my deepest respect!

Mixing things up a bit with the clankers. And in honor of Dragon Age Inquisition, after the official shutdown of its servers... I made this cute and adorable little spinoff to the plot of the game. now, I'm new to actually doing shit, (note that i fucked a few things up in the description so bad it's not even funny) and before anyone says a thing... C.ai is just the revolver of ai sites/apps. But anyways... dare I say, Copyright Ho!

I agree that the series lacks stakes. From the beginning I felt any weight from the antagonists of the world were undercut by Rimuru always having a built in way out. Essentially the only draw for me to this series is out of respect for a friend that's hyper infatuated with this show. Otherwise I probably wouldn't keep up. I do enjoy many of the characters for their interactions between one another. I just can't get invested much when "conflict" occurs especially if the main protagonist steps in to magically resolve the battle unceremoniously.

My deceased big brother prefers Summer sounding like... https://youtu.be/EoDPACOufOI?si=IIJTP_eijFJA5S0o ...while I prefer Winter sounding like... https://youtu.be/GOano9x9cBY?si=KmgXeGLdkKWjQgCl

The grooviest song in the game, been stuck in my head for a couple days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFchpjKC6Ig

I miss Brezhnev too, Comrade. https://youtu.be/_PgFqojF168

Hmm, it would appear this is some sort of spy intelligence coming from the Kremlin in regards to the Philosophers' Legacy. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zCQkEBPxNPk/maxresdefault.jpg
