Most universities in the UK have a careers officer where you can talk to people with lots of experience helping students with these types of questions. If your institute has the same then my advice would be to talk to them about your options, what you could use your degree for or how to look at other non related options.

I can see a pic of Wolfenstein the new order.

Excellent game. I love dual wielding the automatic shotguns. Soo satisfying.

I get mine done about every 1-2 months. Usually when it starts poking me in the ears and getting annoying.

My mate at work who’s very fashion conscious gets his done every 3 weeks or so.

You know you can block users right? If you don’t like someone’s content just block them and move on rather than complain on their post.

Or make another post to ask the community and involve the mods.

I’m really bad at twister but I’d still like to play.

Sign up for a first aid for children course. The best way to manage these feelings and fears is to be prepared to manage them directly. If you learn some first aid then you’ll be able to manage a lot of problems yourself and know when you can’t and need help.

Yeah I wouldn’t want them with people driving then, I’d definitely want some sort of automation to be in charge especially if there were similar amounts to road traffic.

Helicopters aren’t exactly convenient personal transport. We could definitely make smaller maybe autopiloted transports.

Regarding post scarcity, that was the point, we could do it now with enough motivation.

Flying cars.

Asteroid mining.

Maybe a Moon or Mars colony.

End poverty.

Universal basic income/ post scarcity society.

Least to most fictional I think.

So I’m in my 30s and from the UK so maybe not the most relevant person to get this sort of advice from.

It sounds like you’re not in love anymore and have very little in common. If you have no strong reasons to stay together (financial, children, housing etc) then you could have an amicable divorce and maybe gain some more freedom to explore and enjoy yourself.

Yeah if the other acts were as interesting as the first it would be one of my favourite games ever. As it stands it is just really good.

I loved act 1. I really enjoyed the horror elements. Using the pliers and the knife for the first time was brutal. The meta puzzles were just right for me and I enjoyed finding out about more of the layers and the characters.

Act two was interesting, I enjoyed meeting the other characters there was just enough puzzles and challenge and change up to be interesting.

Act 3 I found frustrating, the robot world game and the away from the table elements I found dull it didn’t do anything different particularly with the game mechanics. And whilst I enjoyed the real world aspects it irritated me that I had to watch 40 minutes of YouTube to find out the “true” ending which was really quite underwhelming. I kinda wish I hadn’t bothered and just left it with the goodbye boss fights.

I really don’t know how I feel about the game as a whole. I enjoyed parts, the first act was one of the best games I’ve ever played. The rest dragged on a bit.

No but that’s what anxiety makes you think.

That one is social anxiety and is because in the past if you got excluded from your group of humans you’d starve or freeze to death. We aren’t evolved to deal with the hundreds and hundreds of people that the modern world requires. More used to like extended family groups and small communities.

It depends what your anxiety is driven by. Social anxiety is mostly the fear of being driven out of the group, which would evolutionarily lead to death. You’d be better with social interaction games or multiplayer ones to connect with more people in a safe environment.

Generalised anxiety where you’re hyper aware of every risk and on edge all the time expecting something bad to happen, horror games might work with desensitisation though often in horror the bad things do happen and you just happen to survive by running away or fighting back which is probably not the most helpful thing for anxiety.

Specific fears around ghosts - play FEAR and shoot ghosts. Specific fears around zombies play resident evil, probably the remake of 4, and shoot zombies. Existential dread about what makes you human and the existence of consciousness and souls, play SOMA (has a mode where the enemies don’t insta death you now so you can experience the story and the incredible locations), probably won’t make it less scary but is a great game.

Can I ask what you recommend? I just have the standard add block and sponsor block running which definitely helps but the user experience could definitely be better.

Eugenics?

The problem with this point relating to dementia is that dementia specifically makes forming new memories harder. So they are unlikely to remember any specifics including their diagnosis. Also for the patient saying dementia or memory problems will be more than enough to tell everyone who’s not a doctor.

The frontotemporal bit won’t mean anything to the general public unless they remember more human anatomy than most, but everyone has heard of dementia that one is in common parlance anyway I think.

This is a big problem with medicine in general. Medicine is unfortunately very much an old white man’s club, it’s getting better slowly, but all the knowledge and the way it is taught comes from that old white guy standard.

Medical terminology is complex because medicine is complex. There is definitely an element of being part of an exclusive club but there is also communicating lots of information quickly and efficiently.

Frontotemporal dementia describes a specific set of symptoms and if you are medically trained tells you most everything you need to know about what is happening. As opposed to the patient is a bit confused or sees things sometimes which could be many different things.

The language and how diagnoses are communicated are really important, a good medic should tell the patient their diagnosis with the medical words but should explain what those mean in as much detail as the patient wants.

Most patients are able to understand dementia even if the frontotemporal bit doesn’t make sense to them.

Shaving with a double edged razor rather than a cartridge one. The whole process is much more meditative and rewarding when you actually focus on the moment and take the time to do it properly. Gives a better shave too.
