There's some weird thing going on on twitter that's upsetting lots of people. Some journalists are kind of taking it out on people like us, thoug... |

| I cannot really relate to most of it mostly because I was diagnosed young and I don't really think I'm on the same part of the spectrum as you (in person if people know even the slightest bit about autism they know I'm autistic, or if they don't they think I'm intellectually disabled). That said we... |

| It made no sense that you clearly hit the guy with your sword but "missed." It was a pain to have spells fail left and right. I always had to use the console to mod my key skills so that I could actually play the game. The trick with Morrowind is that what you see isn't what's happening. Its combat... |

| Well, it was a couple months ago but basically I'd been turned down from 27 job apps and decided to volunteer at a charity shop. Worked mon-sat, 9am-5pm for three months and things seemed OK.

If someone is born without skin, for example, it is because God chose this - remember, God can't be wrong and so it was deserved. Even if yo... |

| Zhirinovsky is a grade A cuckoo bird. He does all sorts of crazy sh**, and nobody calls him on it because his few followers are equally cuckoo.

Surely you can only know that someone else knows everything if you know everything and can check that what they believe to be true is accurate?
So the second option seems redundant to me. |

My suggestion would be to practise rhythm away from the instrument.
Set a metronome going, tap your foot to the beat and then just clap the rhythm.
That way you don't have to worry about the pitches and technique at the same time.
Then you bring both sides together as the next step. |
