Hi, I was in a car wreck last night and now every time I sit down it gets more painful to stand up. I think I really need to get checked out, as well as pay some bills like my car payment and therapy. There's a lot going on but I really don't want to put these things off. Please help if you can
I'm a trans woman suffering severe PTSD and have been looking for work all year to no avail with absolutely zero help from anyone in my family. Any help towards my monthly bills or even just reposts are massively appreciated.

ok so i've been playing more & more "puzzlebox" games recently and i'm slowly whittling down my thoughts on Puzzles, what i like & what i don't like...
"spatial" and "rules" puzzles are my favorites, i think "riddles" are pretty fun but can be frustrating, and i think "room puzzles" are just okay

i wish modern fighting games were less explicitly designed... my experience with strive/sf6/gbvsr is there's one way they want you to play each character that's enforced by a small, specific toolkit. playing MBAACC or +R feels like ordering from one of those chinese restaurants with a massive menu
