Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well this fine evening/morning/whatever time of day you happen to stumble upon this thread!

It's been a loooooooong time since i've done one of these

you may have heard of "Kaizen" before if you work in the backroom of a warehouse, and the district manager comes in and blabbers about it to you because you were 2 arbitrary points down from where the job was last year.

but what if i told you that it's actually a really nifty thing that can help you be more productive without being humiliated at work?

it literally means "Good change" and "improvement. or "good change over time", and while it's extremely popular in the business world, it can be translated to everything. if you feel like there is something you want to improve upon, it could be cool for you!

the important thing to remember is that it's about developing healthier and more consistent habits, and over time, one becomes naturally better. even if you do something for a single minute a day, that is still a consistency of getting better in that thing.

i do it with my writing, my drawing, animations, editing, my kung fu, and i have noticed that i keep up with it so much more, just by focusing on at least doing a little each day instead of making these giant ass lofty goals.

So are you doing something that technically can be considered "Kaizen"? if so, then what have you been working on? If not, is there anything in your life that you feel this could help you get to where you want to be? please let me know!

I have these weird early childhood memories of a BBC kid's show that had like live action parts and the show's ending clips, I think, featured a bus with some sort of wobbly clown doll as well.

This is legit straight-up the superior option compared to voting red. The exact same personal benefit as voting red without the blue percentage taking a hit for you doing so. Anybody choosing red is just bad. This fact would hopefully eliminate enough red voters from the pool to make the clueless blues safe.

>>1148353

These aren't actually the same though. While this isn't technically specified, each of the scenarios naturally lends itself to being interpreted as having the following traits:
- pills: participants must choose one, they don't have any information as to the choices of others
- blender: participants must choose one (this one is the most explicit about it, because while the others technically offer some lateral options, here it's just a binary yes/no on having entered the room), they can see if someone (possibly many people) has already made the dangerous choice
- voting: participants may or may not have partial information as to the choices of others (polling data), but they have the option to choose neither by spoiling the ballot

With these natural-to-assume traits to fill in the blanks, [blue pill]/[don't enter]/[spoil ballot] is a perfectly reasonable set of answers even while they don't map onto the same thing between the scenarios.

How important is it that people accommodate for people with neurodivergence in a professional setting and in a personal setting?
How much do you feel it is up to the neurodivergent person to "act normal" when in a social setting?

I suppose we have our fair share of neurodivergent people out here. Anyone feel that others have accommodated towards them? Or do you really manage to mask and avoid getting in the way of others?

I wouldn't even get hung up om "neurodivergence", some people are oddballls, have other cultural norms etc pp. And you shouldn't depend on "crazy certificates" for "accomodation".
People always accomodate for others, some more, some less, but the less common ground there is, the more hassle everything will be.

Funny story is this weekend I met someone who, exceeding a certain time spent together, turned out to be an insufferable bitch in my book. Partly for her ideology, partly for behavior regardless of content.
Also went on to tell us her bully victim past, which indubitably did a job on fucking her up worse or to begin with.

Really got me wondering about when the seeds of this kind of screwups are sown and how to prevent, adapt and overcome.

When something in life changes it usually involves some effort and concern about the results of the change. It's one thing when the change comes willingly. It's wholly another when it's forced on us. Of course we still always hope it's for the better, but sometimes it's due to things outside of us, and all we can do is accept it.

So even though Mingle W/ Coffee does have to change as well, I hope we can all still get together time to time, have a warm drink, and talk about anything on our minds.

I like the idea of a better pokemon game.
When I review an option to replay Pokemon X, it's become a rather desired thing to find a more solid game.

I do usually feel with romhacks and revisiting games that the special / physical split is very important to me for "quality".
Does this hack implement features from later gens?


I will say that new fakemons can be neat, but those seem to have a high degree of being an MS Paintjob.

Thing is Pokemon wack is fun and all but it's stupid. It's supposed to be dumb and offensive. You ever played Pokemon Clover? Wack was pretty much the main inspiration that came out many years prior

The fact you can choose to select "attack helecopter" as your gender at the start of the game and your ingame sprite witll be a helecopter as a result says all you need to know. Well, that and the story of the main game being about a group of Austrian painters and another group of people who love money hating each other.

But like I said, long as you ignore the 2009 outdated 4chan style humour and deliberately offensive humour it is pretty funny. All the Pokemon sprites being poorly made on MS Paint is a little amusing too.

Hell, one of the starters is a blob of steam who's cry is a deadpan guy just saying "steam" out loud

There is rather surprsingly a lot of depth to the game mind, like the new types which do all have their own weakness and resistences. More than 30 of them. Some which make sense like the sound and light types and then more silly and exotic new types like "Food" and "Rubber"

Oh and the game has like 3000 Pokemon. One of the many bonuses of them all being drawn in 5 minutes in MS Paint I suppose

I identify myself in the broadest philosophical terms as an 'agnostic theist' and maybe specifically as an 'agnostic polytheist', personally, which means that I'm default skeptical to accounts about ghosts, incubi, angels, fairies, goddesses, succubi, demigods, et cetera yet I do think that there's more than a grain of truth to basically every narrative out there in broad terms even if some specific claims aren't reasonable.

I'm thinking about this great animated clip here=

And I'm wondering, well, would I ever actually want clear-cut proof of a certain theory? To be specific, would I seriously want to see a demon? Talk to a demon? Even, well, like shake hands (Hooves? Tentacles? Spikes? Maybe?) with a demon? Do I want to know for sure that demons are real or not? What about ghosts? Goddesses? Any other spiritual/mythical/legendary/etc type neighbors? I don't know if I've got the personality where I'd risk all of the mysteries falling on my shoulders like that, with finding out things proven one way or another imposing almost a psychic burden. I've a hard enough time raising pets and having human beings as friends, so what would I do with a neighbor demon?

What about you, Ponyville.us? Do you want to know either way? Would it be exciting? Too much? Any interests based on what you feel now to current supernatural research (like what do you think of the animation)?

Hunter: The Reckoning is that idea in World of Darkness as I alluded to.

But when a cabal of vampires has their fangs in the upper echelons of human power structures for the purpose of hiding that vampires exist from the cattle as part of the Masquerade, the reasoning is twofold. The first reason is that it's easier for the vampires if the cattle (us) are unaware and vulnerable to depredation. The second and more obvious reason is shotguns still can kill a vampire. Not even considering things like flooding the sewer tunnel lair with nerve gas. As some anti-vampire groups have done. Because the Masquerade isn't 100% foolproof. It just needs to be effective enough that anyone who learns the truth is disregarded as a crazy person.

I wanted to know, and had genuinely no idea, whether or not my fellow Americans like King Charles and Prince Williams personally and also in cultural terms. After all, well, a lot of British cultural institutions are amazingly popular all over North America and not just the United States. James Bond. The Rolling Stones. Wallace & Gromit. The Beatles. The Monty Python Troupe. Of course, I don't want to be silly in terms of being stereotypical.

Funnily enough, apparently the United Kingdom’s Prince William is so well liked in the U.S. that he's literally the A-#1 most beloved public figure out of every single human being that the Gallup polling organization asked about lately. King Charles is not that far behind. You can see the details at= https://news.gallup.com/poll/509387/newsmakers-prince-william-popular-putin-least.aspx

Do you like the monarchy? Why? Why not? Is there something special about the United Kingdom, or do you have general views across worldwide notabilities?

To my understanding the British Monarchy is largely derfanged. I largely don't bother to keep up with what is glorified celebrity culture. The Brits can keep their bauble.

Worldwide, hereditary monarchies largely seem out of favor due to a lack of dynamism to respond to the world if in actual positions of power. Modern juntas are a bit more slapdash and brutal. It's difficult to start a dynasty when it's more likely your progeny end up screaming without any skin in the bone pit with the rest of the "inconveniences" when the next person with the loyalty of the soldiers makes their move.

Whats funny is that you're right. Look at Jordan, the country. The king recently passed a bill making it illegal and a criminal offence to criticise either him or the monarchy.

Hell, we even had the ironic 'god save the queen' song at number one for quite some time. You know, the one that says she's running a facist regime.
