Gym-o-clock. HIIT first up, then core, then deadlift circuit.
The consistency of my body fat has changed it’s weird to experience. Like it’s gone from fairly firm!? To a kind of watery or flimsy jelly feel.

There's this dumb, very racist narrative that the southern European immigrants post WW2 worked harder and integrated into Australian society, rather than *bad* south Asian and middle eastern immigrants of the current generation. I found this comment on a post about Italian immigrants. #auspol rant

This rant is brought to you by other kids of European immigrants being racist assholes, I know because my cousins are example no. 1.

Immigrants run the world and fuel the world.

What’s your take on Permadeath? Can it be done in a way that adds depth to the play experience to balance the risk?

Our core designs currently include an opt-out permadeath system with a “successor” mechanic.

Let us know your thoughts.

What do bisky #ADHD folks take for meds? I've been put on vyvanse. Second day of it, can't really describe or identify the effects so far except elevated heart rate and I'm no-longer snacking. It also seems I don't get task anxiety/paralysis anymore? Still working that one out
