When your party doesn’t have a Cleric, but you don’t want to be a religious fruitcake to support your party, so you just roll up a Circle of the Shepherd druid and get the side bonus of being able to talk to all the beasts, all the time, no need to fw spell slots. And then take Message as a cantrip because you rolled High Elf lineage. Become the single greatest reconnaissance member your party has ever seen.
Oh, right, I need to finish Vox Machina S1
The only time I’ve ever had someone approach me asking about my autism was from a fellow autist. Twas a good talk.
Cool. The democratic left needs to stop being a bunch of fucking pushovers. If the right is going to play hardball, than play hardball back and fucking win, and fuck the moralists who whine like babies about “BuT tHeN wE’rE nO bEtTeR ThAn ThEM.” Like, bitch, we can worry about that shit after we take care of ousting the pack of right-wing cheating fuckwits with zero regard for the law and rules. Then once shit is back and stable, we can worry about your pansy ass empty do-gooder tolerance that allowed the extreme right a voice in the first place.
Great, then, now we have another kind of hand bag.
I mean, in my own case, I’m such a bloody mess I couldn’t really recommend someone be in a long term relationship with me. Or nothing too deep, anyway. I’d feel like I’d drag them down. But all that aside, the biggest reason I can think of to be hesitant about commitment is that, in commiting, you will find yourself having to give up control of your life at times and making comprises for the other person’s sake. Where as if you are non-comittant, you will have more autonomy to lead your life how you wish.
This is dumb and nerd enough for me to contribute to

I’m in a similar boat as you. I admittedly doomscroll too much, so I always want a ton of content. I’ll cycle through New, Hot, Most Active, and Top: Day on Lemmy via the Sync app first, then switch to reddit for a little while before checking New on Lemmy again. Lemmy may not have the population of Reddit yet, but it’s community comments is no where near as frustrating to read through and it’s much more varied in topics than reddit’s modern /all.
Hoping to wean myself off Reddit entirely.
I have seen nothing of particular note in person, despite going to an inner-city big block party event. Because, honestly, most costumes are lazy or assembled with a “can’t be bothered” attitude. So I’ll just be super shallow and say I saw a really cute, short asian girl dressed as a kitten, and that’s honestly all that stuck in my mind.
Nothing much new to say, just reiteration. A big or huge or gigantic map is fine, so long as it’s populated by meaningful content.
Really wish Forspoken had been more populated. It’s a huge world, and combat/abilty wise it’s a great pure-mage action game, which I really really loved about it, that’s not a very common thing. But my god, the world is so empty despite being so big, and most side objectives are just collectothons. There’s some more difficult endgame content, but no real reason to grind up for it.
S’like a baby owlbear, but a rat. Too cute. I’m sure if these things were real there’d be people trying to domesticate them in a heartbeat.
Can you give me any more details? That’s a little vague in and of itself. Mage: The Accension, a TTRPG, is what first comes up when I google it, but really, there’s a number of things it could be.

This little thread chain. It’s a Zen thing. If, for whatever reason, you want to understand it a little more, look up what a koan is.
While it’s cool the major online retailers have delisted the items, somewhere out there, the group that is the actual third party shop that makes the items is still out there. These major online retailers are just distributors. It’s possible the producers may just give up and pack up, but they also may just seek other, less seen avenues of sale through websites that aren’t so pulicly at large.
I’m not, but a friend is. With a couple, actually. He’d inevitably wind up sleeping with them now and again, and at this point one has just become a fuck buddy with no real relationship attached. But really, it’s your own dynamics that matter here, and that’s between you and that person. So how anything winds up going, well, the one’s most qualified to make best guesses are you and them.
I can’t help but think of how the original Deus Ex existed in a world where crackpot conspiracy theories like this were just the reality. And this sounds like it would make a great setting itself as some agent works their way through a conspiracy, going on a small world tour of levels in various major powers of the world before finally ending in a boss battle in some hidden hi-tech but occultish basement of the Vatican where we find the Anti-Christ is preparing to unleash whatever high-tech equivalent is for the Mark of the Beast, and it’s our final big job to take him down to stall his coming to power for the next millenia or some nonsense.
Sorry if you take your theories seriously, I just can’t. But I’d bet they’d make a cool story.

“I’m free! I’m freeeee!” Cries the bottomost crab, high on a dab.
You’re not wrong, gerrymandering sucks. But the right wields it unfairly and gets away with it. So we need to do it back. Only when we have enough collective power to dismantle the entirety of gerrymandering at the federal level all at once and for good can it be truly done away with. Until we get to that point, we have to play hardball back, or the right will just continue to get their way.
