Indeed - the trick was using the wind to blow dust and sand into a separate pit from the rocks that did not blow. Weirdos like me probably are why we have ancient methods of cultivation, lol.

Hard to say for sure. It's not so much a light/sound sensitivity for me so much as the movement and activity and whatnot. Given I went to school before they really understood these things, I was never diagnosed with anything.

I mostly remember DDS, which is my favorite from the series. I don't remember clearly but I recall a very specific strategy to down him.

I think a lot of other games protags get to! Although only on NG+ in some cases.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.

I think being the protag is arguably the best scenario here, assuming I survive the tutorial. The rest of y'all are very fucked, though.

I mean, today I saw a chocolate company ad saying no AI was needed. For chocolate. Anti-AI in a chocolate ad.

If Sees Candy is getting in on AI hate to sell shit, obviously people are tired of this crap. The bubble will burst.

My favorite part of your dark episode is the laugh track playing when he gets into Daphne's chocolate. Oh Scoob, you rapscallion!

At least at the end he gets to meet Don Knotts up in the afterlife. He even has a great one liner ready for it!

Well, that's probably a hate crime.

I'm atheist so to me, baptism or prayer is about as serious as someone thinking Jedi or Sith were real; annoying and disrespectful but we'll live.

But to someone of an opposing faith, forcing someone through that could be blasphemous. It's at best disrespectful, but at worse it might make them feel violated, against God, ostracized from their social circles, or what have you.

Ultimately, I feel it carries greater weight for people who believe in something, same as ripping off a hijab or forcing them to say a prayer to another God.

Since teaching about this, I've come to appreciate these kinds of rooms. Actually, I wish I had a low sensory room growing up (the type for sensory disorders); I was and still kinda am easily overstimulated so it's the kind of thing I can get behind.

That said, IEPs and the stigma they bring can easily be a bad thing too depending on school, hence why it's the "coloring room." I was already ostracized by 2nd grade for being weird with the sand box, though, so kinda moot in my case (I spent all my time sorting out rocks from sand and dust).

Los Angeles, for one. Drive home from dropping kids off at daycare, ran into this four times in a 10 minute period-- two on a major street, blocking (admittedly light) traffic.

Ubers, deliveries, Amazon vans... ugh.

As much as I don't like her... ACAB

I mean, growing up in poverty, there's already been payday loans. This is just that, but more technical. Scammers gonna scam.
