Reminds me when I practiced athletics and had my first competition. I couldn’t for my life do anything right… Dropped out of the endurance race, had a false start on the sprint and threw the weight in the wrong direction.
The worst was the high jump. During practice I was doing really well by being able to clear 1.9 meters (6.2 feet) but during the competition I was not even able to clear 1.4 meters (4.6 feet)… performance anxiety is very real!
Couldn’t agree more. Despite the bleakness represented in the image I was still surprised by a familiar nostalgia of simpler times. Coincidentally enough, I was also blessed with DOS gaming sessions in an attic back in the 90s.
So I started collecting bottle caps in college when I turned 21 with the rule that I had to be the drinker of the brew. 22 years later I’m still collecting and now color coding without purpose or end goal.
Yup, the stuff hoarders collect over almost always just end up in the trash and serve only to bring annoyance to whoever has to clean it up. Recently had to clean up after a hoarder relative died, not fun at all.

From grades 1 to 4 (6 to 9 years of age) we had the same teacher. She was fine for the first 3 years but somthing must have happened because during the last year she completely changed.
That last year is still burned in my mind. She would verbally and physically assault us at the minimum mistake. For example, when she was delivering tests she had us go to her to pick it up and the ones with average or bad grades would get a knuckle punch to the forehead (it hurt like hell).
Slapping was common occurance, as in several times a day. She also once broke a plastic ruler on a girls head for speaking out of turn and banged another girls head onto the blackboard several times because she was writing with too small letters.
One of the worst things I recall involved the special needs kid. I don’t remember what condition he had, just that he had no understanding of social rules and also had trouble reading. One day this kid decides to climb on the toilet and look at a girl that was peeing (the closed toilets to the classroom were unisex). The girl came crying to the teacher and she proceeded to grab the kid by the ear and twisted it hard. While he was crying is hear out, she pulled down his pants and underwear and slapped his ass several times. He was quite never the same after that…
The worst part? Telling my parents about this and them thinking I was crazy because there was no way a teacher would behave like this.
Luckly that was the last year and I moved to another school but the memories remain.

I still recall a fateful afternoon in my early teens where I spent around 6h playing Carmaggedon. Not the actual play session but the weird feeling I had afterwards while I was eating dinner. It felt like I was not supposed to be playing that game and “killing” all those people; I felt somewhat hollow…

Watched the first season but I just can’t get past how awful Rick is. All the constant burping and how much of an asshole he his really puts me off the whole thing.
Really sad to read this but better delayed and good than on schedule and bad specially since it’s due to marketing reasons… it’s the second part to a very successful first part, I wouldn’t think it needs so much Marketing but I’m not in advertising.
