Watched Restrepo

I appreciate the work they do and I'm not an american. As a soldier your job is to be a good soldier (which is already a tough job) and be placed in these weird and difficult situations.

The negotiating with the locals was tough, and even though I would, (skeptically) probably, be more skilled in dealing with them I don't think any soldier can just put up for diplomacy and cultural appreciation lessons like that. What skilled diplomat would get into soldiering when diplomacy makes a ton of money in business? Heck a culturally adaptive and diplomatic person has a whole world of opportunities open to them in the business world, I think soldiering would be a choice that would require very rare and unusual set of circumstances.

The part about the dying and dead baby, holy crap. I mean your enemies are intentionally fighting you using civilians as shields/buffers. You just have to take the unfair criticism and all that irrationality that wants to simplify you as a murderer. Damn.

Oh well... I'm happy I'm not in their shoes. I love milsim but have no illusions of my lack of capability doing what they do for a living. I know and read of the conditioning and the circumstances they put themselves in, It is a job that really has a lot of cons more than the honor of doing one's duty.

Makes me think about how in math or real word situations there are Negatively incentivized situations. There are situations that in Game Theory lens the way its presently set up, screws people for doing good and rewards people for doing bad. And in JDM science, most people will fall through that trap and you really can't blame them for making the bad choice... neither does this makes them bad people. Thats what game theory and all these cognitive sciences are trying to do, see a bad situation and fix it.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
