He's fired

It's super corny, and possibly just a placebo, but I've used this for various things that induce social anxiety or anxiety in general. Sit back and think about the event, as you feel the anxiety growing, try to focus instead on what might be exciting about it

For interview, the prospect of a new gig, for going out with a group or other social engagement, anything fun there, for meeting new people, finding a shared interest with someone

I read somewhere that the feelings of anxiety and excitement can be very similar, so you can almost redirect the anxiety to something more beneficial. It doesn't help actually talking to people, but it helps get you out of your head and into the moment. Ymmv

Yea it's a bit difficult getting in. Similar experience the first time for me. I've since had to drastically scale back my time committed to the org due to life changes, but it's very rewarding. It sucks that many working people just don't have the time to be a part of an organization that is ostensibly for them. Be that members like myself trying to contribute or more tenured people on recruitment, steering, or organizing who have to practically treat it like a second job. Too bad there's no funding more committed comrades to devote time to the cause and help more people get plugged in

If it was around the time of the 2020 protests or after, many chapters were struggling with volume of applicants. Some opened the gates too wide and had some trouble with members acting weird about Ukraine war or China while others kept up with more rigorous interviews but let a ton of people fall through the cracks due to limited time of recruitment members

We all know you should mix as many patterns as possible

Yeah tbh I didn't even look at the video until you mentioned it. As far as I was aware there was only one shut the fuck up Friday video

Rune tattoos are never a good sign

I think I'm in agreement regarding Elden Ring 2. From Soft makes incredible games, but I think overall I enjoyed the souls, sekiro, and armored core more. It feels like games with levels allows them to reward exploration without the feeling of recycled content or incredible amounts of effort to make a huge map feel unique. Not to mention NPC quests you might completely miss because you did some part of the game in the wrong order. Glad to have experienced ER, but I'm looking forward to a non-open world next title

Enjoyed it for the most part, but I didn't like how exploration was handled. So many places to go that had absolutely nothing. Fully exploring the finger ruins or frenzy woods felt very bad for how much area there was to cover vs amount of rewards for exploring.

Idk how they would fix this though as then they'd either have to make even more unique dungeons to avoid the copy paste complaint of the base game or litter about even more crafting items.

Fuck furnace golems as well
