Oh, man. This brings back memories. I did this every time I loaded any game into the system. My PS1 had issues with the balls on the disc spindle that locked the disc in place. I had no idea and had so many issues with discs not loading until I discovered it. Then it became the disc equivalent of popping the cartridge out of the SNES and re-seating it until it worked. Eventually, I had to replace the balls as they fell out but as a broke college student, I just crumpled small bits of aluminum foil into similar sized balls and stuffed them in there. Worked great after that.

The OP caption is probably incorrectly looking at either the date the novel was published or when initial talks and production started prior to filming, which would have been 1990.

Fascinating. I had never heard of these. Thanks for the enlightenment!

Maximum, or current health? That is an important distinction which can drastically change the armor's utility.

I have these strings

To hold you down

I tie them tight, you can't burst out

You might scream

But I'm happy

I've got your skin on me

Sorry, I didn't mean for that term to apply to the specific items I called out from the list. What I was trying to say was for other items on this list, like a romantic attraction coming from the therapist, those can be things should be taken seriously and have justification for immediate concern.

It is very important to note that if you are seeing a new therapist or therapy is new to you, at least a few of these feelings are very common in the first few sessions (no chemistry, feeling disappointed or getting nowhere, trust). Even feelings of being judged or pushed to hard may come from initial feelings or not understanding what barriers or limitations you have that need to be addressed. Talk to them about those when they come up.

Some of these are obvious red flags to monitor and you should monitor all of these, but do not be discouraged if you are initially identifying with some of these; it takes time to settle in. Your therapist is first trying to get to know you, what you are going through, and understand how to help you. It's going to take multiple sessions depending on how much you need to get off your chest, but it should get better. If it doesn't, it's perfectly normal to switch to a different therapist.

Depeche Mode's Some Great Reward was the first cassette of theirs I bought and it lived in my walkman.

I have the same understanding as you on the whole walkman/discman thing.

Basic supply and demand economics. When supply is high and demand is low, prices fall. When demand is high and supply is low, prices rise. They think people will willingly sit in line regardless of the price because, in reality, people have.

Conversely, they wouldn't want to drive people away when business is slow and can easily jump into another drive thru.

Behind that gruff facade was a man who wanted to make people happy. He knew what Bart wanted from those calls and gave it his all.

It always seemed like a logic gate thing to me, like the Fullmetal Alchemist rule of equivalent exchange. Otherwise, there comes a point where there would be no order or structure to the universe and the benefit is boiled down to simply preserving reality.
