  1. Very awesome lore and artwork as always, Lnx1y! I love your little Indonesian references with the Overlands(I believe you have done it before in the past), in this case, "Hari Libur" which roughly translates to "holiday" or "vacation", I believe. I think it's interesting how it's in a tropical setting, but they throw "colored powder" at each other while wearing white clothes, it reminds me of snowball fights in a way, but I know they symbolize unity and equality. Hari Libur sounds like a lovely holiday in the Overland.
  2. Honestly, it's up to you on how generous you would like to be for their service and I think this topic is very subjective. I personally think tipping in general is a terribly unfair wage system forcing customers to tackle the financial responsibility of paying workers from businesses to consumers. There are too many variables that causes economic uncertainty for service workers, plus people can partake in their own unconscious discriminatory biases to pay more to certain people. Lastly, I think it's very tone deaf and hypocritical to argue for tips and then to tip while the business owners are driving around in luxury cars while their workers are carpooling together as they cannot afford to pay for gas or taking public transportation to work. For example, if businesses have to raise food prices in order to pay their workers more, so be it. People are already paying a list of fees on apps like Postmates, GrubHub, and UberEats.
  3. I have changed up my schedule since the last time I was here as life got busy, but I'm doing about 5 days a week. I do stretching and yoga beforehand. I do two days for upper body and lower body, 30 mins each. Then I try to follow it up with some easy to moderate cardio for an hour and averaging 3-4 miles daily.
  4. Pineapple on pizza?!?!?! If I wanted to eat a salad, I would eat a salad! Jokes aside I don't like pineapple on pizza, but if you do, that is perfectly fine!
  5. I sleep with my door closed. I feel way too vulnerable sleeping with a door open.
  6. I am single because I broke up with my last partner in the past year. We were together for around three years. It was an amicable breakup and we still talk to each other once in a while. Yes, you can still have a healthy relationship with an ex, as long as you can discuss things like adults. I always thought it was childish when one side refuses to speak to another or makes things super dramatic. Every situation is different, but as you grow older, you must understand that relationships are very nuanced and layered. I did meet some really cool people that interested me here in the past few months and admittedly even had a new crush on someone a little while back; however, a crush is simply a lack of information, and once I learned more about them... well I wasn't into them anymore.
  7. Yes! I know almost all of my neighbors. We usually say hi or catch up whenever we have a moment. Everyone is pretty chill here.

  16. I just want to say that I was moved by your message and wanted to say that I'm proud of you for doing your best to get through these challenging times. I have several friends who went through similar situations with their addictions as you are in your journey towards sobriety, so I admire your courage in sharing your experiences so openly here. It's very inspiring to others going through similar situations and it's not an easy subject to discuss. You have amazing resilience for maintaining good grades through law school despite your struggles. Making the decision to move back in with your folks and facing your addiction head-on is commendable and a testament to your strength. I know going cold turkey is not easy after a 24 hour bender, but you managed to do it. With every little step you take forward, you should be proud of your commitment towards a happier and healthier life. I hope you continue to pursue more positive interests and activities as they will help both your physical and mental health. I wish for you to continue to stay strong. I look forward to hearing more about your progress and seeing you post around on the forums again. We believe in you. You've got this.
  17. WOW! I remember an old British friend singing this song a long time ago during school. (They were visiting as their parents were working in the States for a year). I never thought I would come across it again.
  18. Hello Astral! It's been a while, but I hope you are doing well! :D

  20. A bit tired. I have to make a lot of difficult choices over the next few weeks.
  21. Relax. Relax. Are you relaxing now? No, then relax. You relaxing? Good. Wait. Why are you not relaxing? C'mon, relax. It's nice and easy. There's no high pressure odds facing you at this current moment in time, relax. Good. Wait. I'm glad to hear that your situation is improving! I know you can do it! Even if it's baby steps, it's the fact that you are taking those steps is what counts. We believe in you, my friend.
