I just started Patriot on the thread’s recommendation and lol at that cold opener.

Learned pretty much everything I know on some Suzuki SV650s which my dad is a huge nerd for, then we went to a Honda CBR600RR for a couple of years before I decided the middleweight class was way too insane and full of dudes that did not give a gently caress about anything, but I kinda wanna go back to that because I currently do not give a gently caress about anything. Went back to SV650s because my dad always has enough poo poo for those strewn all over the place to build two from scratch for some reason, and his friend gave him a steal on an old 2-stroke RS125 Honda factory GP race bike which is cool as gently caress. He also did some old guy motorcycle detective poo poo and somehow found his exact old ‘94 Harley 883 that he used to race, run down and beat to poo poo and bought it back from the guy. He’s working on that slowly and I really want to race that.

It used to be a huge part of my life and I got pretty loving good at it, I have lots of trophies and cool pictures and footage buried somewhere. It’s pretty much the corner stone of my dad and I’s relationship, but *guestures vaguely at last three years or so of my life* it got pushed to the wayside, and I just want to take another crack at it before hanging it up for good. Cuz lol American healthcare and extremely dangerous hobbies.

Hell yeah man. I've never raced motorcycles, just driven them very fast and I have been to a couple tracks before just riding my everyday commuter bike (an R6 which ended up getting stolen... sigh). But that's a cool as hell opportunity your dad gave you and cool that it was a good way to spend time him.

Don't let it slip away imo. Get back out there by any means necessary. If you can't do the things you love in this world then what's the loving point!!

The Puppy Bowl posted:

The virtue and challenge of organizing caring professions (nursing, teaching, childcare, etc.) is that their workers are very deeply invested in the work, and management takes advantage of that. My wife works in the schools and I can't tell you how many times she has tried to talk a coworker out of not logging their additional work and expenses. If you log it, it fills up the hours of your work week and you won't be able to provide all the services you feel the kids and families you work with need. If you don't log it, management takes it as proof that everything is getting done at the current level of staffing and resources. Creates a vicious cycle where people go above and beyond perpetually, burning themselves out in the process. This dynamic broadly hurts the communities the caring professions are trying to serve by leaving them undermanned, under resourced, and working with people who have become shells of themselves. Then if you complain about it management, politicians, and often the people you serve start bitching about how you don't care about the work and just want to laze about and get rich. As a nurse or school teacher.

That's how it is for me. I work at a nonprofit and I get taken advantage of, don't make enough money because I let it happen. Because I believe strongly enough in the work and care enough about my students. It would be hard to make the decision to leave knowing for a fact that whoever they roped in to taking over would not do nearly the job I do. It kinda sucks.

oh yeah also we're going to eliminate all the per-country numerical caps on immigration

under this presidency we will make voting mandatory, lower the voting age to 16, and make voting an immutable right of citizenship regardless of criminal status (e.g. even incarcerated criminals get to vote), we'll see how long huge prisons last when prisoners can outvote the locals in local elections haha

oh yeah also we're going to make using prisoner slave labor illegal, de-privatize all prisons, and eliminate the death penalty

I vow to end the export of american garbage to other countries, and require all companies that manufacture anything made of plastic to pay into a fund that will spend that money cleaning plastic from the environment

recognize Palestinian independence

pass a constitutional amendment requiring congress to spend at least as much on public education as it does on the military annually

members of congress get a lifetime pension but may not work in any capacity or receive payment or make any investment other than US government bonds and the cost of one personal home, during or after they retire from congress, they're allowed to give speeches write books and do charity work but never for pay for them or their families, it all has to be volunteer

eliminate political campaign spending, you can run for office but you're not allowed to buy ads anywhere, also no more PACs, if you want to spend money to support a candidate you have to just do it yourself, like, go campaign yourself, you can't give it to someone else to spend for you

we're giving hawaii back to the hawaiians

pay native american tribes restitution at the current market value of every acre of property stolen from them since 1492

You only need one good ability to win. Could you be spreading too thin? You generally do not need both your attack and special to be great, just one or the other. I try to stack up hammers, Chaos boons, and then an appropriate damage boon (something like Zeus or Dionysus for rapid attacks, Artemis or Aphrodite or whatever are generally decent). Sometimes there is a better boon for the skill and it is worth passing over the first one that shows up. Also, always be dashing, always grab the dash boost from Hermes if he offers it, I find run speed it be fairly low value since you should ABD. The first time I won I had the +2 health per hit + the Sword hammer that turns your attack into a very rapid 2 hit combo and I pretty much face tanked everything. I think a key for the last two bosses is not to be too aggressive, run in, get some hits, then run out.

Yeah the biggest focus for me has been maxing everything in the mirror. And acquiring comfort with how I’m using the cast has helped as well. Sometimes it’s easy to just slash and slash but I’ve been able to make it much further with my improvements.

Elysium just always hits me with armored soul catchers and I can’t kill them quickly. I made it to asterius and Theseus once and they hosed me right up. Haven’t been able to get past asterius since. I think I just did run 41 last night.

If I counted correctly I am 25/64, but it feels like I have won more because most of the wins were recent and I think I got up to 12 or so in a row, where I won 6/40 for my first 40 runs and then 19/24 for 41-64.

My first three wins were 18, 23, and 31.
