Look, I know a lot of people had it rough with the surge in grocery prices, but grocery stores are STRUGGLING with their "dynamic pricing". Kroger stock is only up 22% this year! Can't you people just think about the poor shareholders???

Okay round 2 happened today. After 4 days of rest, I ran another 5k and I managed to do the whole thing without slowing to a walk or cramping side. 35 minutes. My best was 32. I'm still at a beginner level but I really want see under 30 minutes.

I dont like the kind of people who are unwilling to apologize to children or service workers. Apologies are not some act of humiliation or deference. It is the willingness to acknowledge that you expect better of yourself and sincerely regret your actions and/or their impact on others.

Prejudice/discrimination against neurodiversity/people with invisible disabilities is often seen as more acceptable than against race/ethnicity, due to most of society only preferring familiarity and appearance and sometimes disguise "fear and hatred" as "accountability". One group of people who label neurodivergents as the overused buzzword "narcissists" are usually job colleagues or just nobodies. Another group who undo or never use that same overused buzzword are either family, friends, etc.. Whether people are correct or incorrect, it is considered rude to use the same buzzword. The buzzword became very trendy right when MAGA Cult revealed themselves and began falling apart.

Great discussion! I like seeing different viewpoints from other anime fans. Edit by https://ultimate-tictactoe.io a day ago

I took my concepts into another AI art engine and made some improvements to the codex for some more dramatic pictures to get some inspiration from. This is as probably as good as my design is going to get without actually hiring an artist. Next up, I'm going to try and get a character promo video done with some lines voiced. I have the voice clip, just gotta lip sync it to a video and hope that it works the first time because of the huge credit cost.

I know already said it, but geez... soooo much cringe writing... Random plots. No plots. Horrible lines. Characters with no depth or consistency. Filler scenes just to kill time that have nothing to do with the story. Random narration to explain the scene because they utterly fail to portray it with the art, voice acting, or the script. It feels like they decided to make this seasons anime out of a middle school writing contest.

@gabriel_true Day 147: The weather report was in fact correct: it was cold outside today and it did snow slightly – but! It's fine because the snowing didn't last long, now it's still cold, but the sun's been shining to melt away the few flakes that did fall. In other news, I told myself that I didn't need more than one cat in a game I'm playing. It's that game Heartopia that I've brought up before, and the first cat I'm referring to is the one I told you about that I had to remove the roof of my home for because he kept climbing up there and not coming down lol, his name is Clawdio. Well, the more you upgrade the cat-caring hobby, you are able to adopt more than one cat...and I resisted the temptation to buy more each time I visited the pet store for cat food, but this time I really couldn't help it! I now have two new cats named: Snowcap and Goldilocks and they are so adorable! I couldn't resist them because Snowcap is a pure white cat with sleepy looking eyes XD, so I couldn't pass him up, and Goldiocks is a female cat (with orange-ish yellow looking hair) with rbf eyes (she looks so fierce and pretty I needed to buy her). Soooooo, yeah...I now have three cats and a dog (her name is Corvette). After buying those new pets and some accessories/an automatic cat feeder for them I only had 2k in my bank account in game...yet somehow as I kept playing the game for a couple more minutes, I looked to see if I hopefully made anymore money since then (in game currency helps you buy land plots to expand your land, so that's what I've been saving for), and I ended up with 100k+ coins XD. I don't know how I achieved that in the 20-30 minutes I was playing, but I'm not complaining. - Hooray For Easy Money!: Wei
