Here's a MoCA test for anyone curious

http://dementia.ie/images/uploads/site-images/MoCA-Test-English_7_1.pdf

You need to get 26/30 to be classified as "normal"

That top row was messing with me because I thought 1A2B and the cube were involved in the same question. Otherwise, once I figured that out it was easy.

I wanna make fun of the test for how easy it was, but that's like saying I found the jokes to a kid's movie predictable: it's not FOR me. If Donald can do that, good, rule dementia out and we'll better focus on his many other problems.

This wouldn't be conducted by the same doctor from 2016 though, would it?

I agree that one was good.

I'm rewatching RE7...really good one, and I never played it before (or anything from the genre besides RE4).

I texted the message to her at 2:18 PM.

The man who runs the open mic we met at who's good friends with her messaged me at 4:04 PM, encouraging me to come back and perform again soon.

And now she's tried to call me at 4:49 PM.

I don't get the Monika reference, oh noooooooo.

And good post about ghosting. I've been guilty of what you're warning against before and it's not a good feeling. If she wants to respond to this, I'm comfortable letting her have that be the last word.

"Hey, so I've needed some time to be clear and say I was uncomfortable in my truck with you last Sunday. I hope you understand -- like I told you then, I didn't know how to tell you no without hurting your feelings.

We've had several conversations about this discomfort and that's not fun for either of us, so I'm cutting this off. I don't want you to make any more efforts or advances. With respect, no, I'm not interested.

I hope your theatre career works out for you. I'll work with you as required in a professional environment, but I don't want to keep contact other than those required professional times with the cast."

Approrpriate? Wondering if this is too much:

"Hey, so I've needed some time to be clear that I was uncomfortable in my truck with you last Sunday. I told you I was putting up a wall, I wasn't interested in doing long-distance, and I didn't know how to tell you no without hurting your feelings...yet you weren't respecting my dinner plans I had us leave early for so I could be on-time, you were predicting I was gay, and you accused me of punishing you. I don't want to be treated like that.

The knife-bit after asking if you scared me was probably flirting, but please understand that was really awkward.

I know I said I liked you a few weeks ago at the same time I shared my initial discomfort of talking so much...sorry if there were mixed signals, but I also wish you would have told me right then you were seeing someone instead of in the truck right before you kissed me.

I hope the theatre stuff I previously told you about works out for you, but at this point I only want to keep professional contact.

Please let me know this is clear."

Yellow is where it's at. All are good, but the others are posers in comparison.

You play as Baby Mario the whole game. Yoshi is his mount. This would be like saying that you "play as Epona" when you are riding around Hyrule Field.

It'd be easy to jump onto why this analogy is wrong...but really, it just makes me want the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2: Epona'a Island.

Sephy's argument in this topic is like if someone didn't understand Dennis Reynolds' "implication" speech was being said by a total scumbag, and wasn't something to serve as a personal mantra in real life.

I appreciate that we as a board know this scene well enough to reference it casually in times of need.

Also what made me upset the most about that article was the writing being so bad.

There's no way that mess got through an editor.

Thank you. The white wine-bit's gone of control -- that was probably meant to be a detail to color the night, not to shape the villain -- but regardless the detail should have been edited out and some other parts needed rewrites.

I'm glad Aziz immediately apologized. It sounds pretty skeevy and we'll see if anybody else steps up about his behavior. I had a personal situation from last week that was just an unwanted kiss, and that's still pissed me off...I'm not filing for assault, but also I'm not messing with her anymore and understand why she'd hold this against Aziz, especially since this was more significant than a kiss.

My main question lingering is why Aziz left the date so early and felt like this was the moment to go so hard.

It'd help to hear his side of the story. I hope there aren't more people with shitty experiences like this with him.

I grew up with a shithouse. You know what they have? Shitholes. Not worth arguing if that's their point of defense.

And oh nooooo about Aziz! I'll read that later but it's a damn shame if true. I saw him make surprise appearances at the Copper Cellar twice and at least one of his specials made a big focus about creepy guys and treating women better (his MSG-special on Netflix, 2012 or 2013). =(

WASHINGTON POST - ?BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII,? the alert screamed. It was a false alarm.

Shortly after 8 a.m. local time Saturday, scores of Hawaii residents received an emergency cellphone alert with an alarming message: ?BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.?

The message, reportedly sent by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency in error, would turn out to be a false alarm, officials said. Nevertheless, it would take 38 minutes for authorities to clear up the mistake with a follow-up alert.

Thanks for the support.

The overly-politeness was real. I told her "I don't know how to tell you no without hurting your feelings." I guess she took that as "Well you didn't say no."

Ya'll think it's better to text her now and be clear on what I don't want for the future, or just be done with the situation from here and leave her alone? She's not reached out since Wednesday, the longest she's gone without contacting me before...not sure if it's better to let sleeping dogs lie or take the moment to be absolutely clear for the future.

Met a woman three weeks ago -- I feel like she's gone from forward to intrusive.

https://www.wikihow.com/Spot-Common-Stalking-Behavior

^ She meets all of Part One and bits of the other parts.

We met three times, once after I told her to give some space...and even though she did for a little bit, that last visit she once again wasn't respecting my boundaries.

Last visit from Sunday really pissed me off, especially because of this second chance I gave her. She wouldn't get out of my vehicle when she knew she was making me late for a friend's dinner and accused me of punishing her because I didn't want to try a long-distance relationship.

I can't tell if this is flirting or threatening, but it was uncomfortable: while I was driving her back to her car, she asked me if she scared me. I blew it off and said "Yeah, never know when you'll pull a knife on me." She then pulled out a little butterfly knife and put it in my hand while I'm driving.

This was the same woman I made a topic about recently where I was trying to figure out if she was divorced. Someone here suggested she might not be divorced but she was looking for a sidepiece with me, and they were exactly right. She told me how much better I was than her boyfriend right before she climbed across seats for the most emotionally one-sided kiss I've ever had. I told her I was putting up a wall on purpose and she didn't care. I was not into it.

Other signs in hindsight: she has tried to keep me in her vehicle once before too. I told her I didn't want to invite her over to my home once and she has since been guessing at where I live because I previously told her the road. Same thing about where I work too. She immediately wanted to talk with me for hours every day until I told her to chill out because I didn't know her like that. She wanted me to do daily pictures with her in a way that reminded me of Jessica Jones. She had PTSD...not sure that matters by itself, but she told me that kinda quick and out of nowhere so at least the oversharing is relevant.

It's a shame -- I asked for her number as a professional contact first and maybe something more as well, plus she's a female version of me in a lot of ways so that's neat. It ain't worth it though.

And now I'm concerned because before these signs built up, I encouraged her to apply for some theatre companies I work with. I don't know what the proper protocol is for telling them a stranger I encouraged to apply may not be good for me (or others) to work with now. She didn't drop my name when applying, but still.

She's called twice and texted twice since Sunday...not responding to her. I didn't know how to say "don't talk to me" in person either.

Whole thing feels manipulative to me now and I'm second-guessing myself all over. I can't tell if it's better to do nothing and let her get the hint, redpond next time and say it's over, tell theatres how I might have messed up, or what.

This post feels more rambly than my usual style and it just makes me realize I don't know where to begin here. =/

That prize had lots of attention, but I think Undertale deserves a lot of credit too -- it had a big enough impact for GDQ to trust its biggest influence Earthbound to close their next GDQ. Undertale impacted a lot of people and I think people donated with their heartstrings as much as they donated for a sweet raffle.

I remember some of the Omarosa coversation and do think there was a jab made about how her firing could have been racially motivated. Not sure how much that really extended into "sources say Donald's mad at black voters"-territory though.

It's anecdotal, but I just saw a friend share this:

"I voted for President Trump. I support some of his agendas. However, I am very disappointed and saddened by his comment about the nature of many of my friends, people I have loved and respected for many years. I am praying that he will reverse his attitude. Our nation is as corrupt and in as deep a hole as he alleges those countries to inhabit."

This is a white dude who lived in Kenya for at least eleven years because his son transferred to my school in fifth grade, and his son's also a Republican who liked this status too.

This isn't representative -- most people probably struggle to find Kenya on a map, much less most Republicans having never lived there before -- but it's encouraging to know minds can change.
