I'm really familiar with D20 (3.5) and WoD (2nd Edition), but i'm open to learning new stuff as well

Goddamn it all
Life has a way of sucking donkey balls sometimes
And it doesn't even get to the moneyshot.
I'm quite sure they see the big picture. If you've ever seen the minutes of a shareholder meeting it's pretty clear that they actively encourage NOT helping people get better because sick people are a continual revenue stream.
Pretty upset with how Kaiser is handling mental health services lately. After leaving me hanging for 6+ months last time I needed a therapist (they tried to outsource my therapy and I was told to wait for the 3rd party to assign me someone) they have fucked me over yet again. My therapist quit Kaiser due to excessive red tape making it hard to treat patients, but one of the last things she did was note that my symptoms had been particularly severe in the previous months and I needed a case worker assigned. Kaiser has apparently lost that instruction and I still have no replacement therapist months later.
It really does feel like they are entirely incapable of providing mental health services unless the person is either stable in the first place or dangerous enough to be institutionalized.
REALLY small rant, but I wish I could find a good wireless controller for the PC with a decent battery. Stupid Xbox packs last NOTHING and cost a lot around here.
Gotta give it to the ancient romans, they built infrastructure that's still working nowadays. In my home country there was even a still used roman bridge in my region then the local government made a big fanfare about building a new modern bridge so the peple wouldn't need to depend in the who-knows-how-old bridge.
And they built it.
And then winter came and there was a big storm.
And when the sky cleared the fancy new bridge had collapsed and the roman bridge was still standing in one piece!
They also developed special concrete for coastal areas that's actually reinforced by the salt from the water so that stuff is also still standing despite a millennia and half of being hammered by waves!
... But honestly ...
That level of honesty and detail, will serve you and yours well.
The economist Jeffrey Sachs worked on Russia's transition out of their old system. He did OK, they didn't do as well. But he learned from his mistakes. He has said the number 1 thing developing economies can do to help themselves, is to do real Sewage systems. It's my understanding Sao Paulo is nearly complete in it's upgrade, and then they can branch out to Rio and the rest of the country. It should work and the benefits are real.
Grats to Nytemare, load off your mind.
Brazil can probably recapitulate all of the science, and almost all of the simulations, for a space program. But right now those physics phds can get way more $$ from the local big banks setting up the same stuff wall street has recently done. USA ran as high as 4% of the gov during the moon race, but generally below 1% since. It wasn't just a drag on the economy from too much military spending, rather it was research and development. Necessary and how do you tell what the benefits are? (especially if focused on ultra short term only).
I wonder how hard it really is to become NORMAL
I guess i don't want to
This is the really bad part
My disability is such a huge part of what makes me who I am that the idea of being normal terrifies me.
Good news! My friend's boyfriend works on diesel vehicles and was able to change my glowplug, saving me a MINIMUM of $400. He also refused payment, so I gave his girlfriend a bunch of MTG cards and told them to come abuse my free movie pass thing for working at the theatre.
