Does anybody know when this was published? Best I could find was people calling it old 10 years ago.

I'd definitely believe the top two. My oldest sister seems to only date dudes that end up beating her, but my other sister has been put in the hospital by every woman she's dated. I know it's slim pickings, and rural Midwest lesbians have a lot to be mad about, but stop taking it out on each other! There are more deserving targets.

Outlook does too. Basically the only thing Microsoft has gotten right because it has saved me 100% of the times I forgot.

The science seems to indicate this has the potential to fix a lot of illnesses, but I am beyond skeptical of anyone claiming that it can cure mental illness. Especially something as complex as bipolar disorder.

Life is unfair...

"I'm not handy" always makes me mad. People call me handy because I do things others hire professionals for. But I'm not handy either. I don't enjoy doing these things, and I don't magically have the knowledge to do it. I look up tutorials or videos of how to do it and get my hands bruised or bloody. You don't need a character trait or label to accomplish these things, you just need to commit and accept that it won't be fun.

Okay but do I still get dice after the smoke? I'm willing to take the hit for a discount.

Incredible. Always good to hear some positivity in the news.

Thanks for hosting, I really appreciate it. Definitely a great introduction to the fediverse for someone who hadn't heard of it before.

I run one-shot games at conventions, mostly FATE and Dread. At the conventions I tend to join a lot of Mork Bork and Numenera games, although I've never GM'd them.

I also play in longer D&D campaigns with friends, but we've played other campaigns in Firefly (Cortex) and Star Trek Adventures.

FATE is my favorite for the flexibility. People tend to focus on making the story good as opposed to trying to work against the restraints of their character. Unfortunately most people in my friend group are Pathfinder/D&D focused, so we tend to go that direction.

Meanwhile I probably run No Thank You, Evil! the most lately, just because my household has become overrun with kids.

I recently received Triangle Agency, so I'm excited to try that.

I think most time machines are functionally teleporters as well, since they appear when and where you want. Being able to teleport into the oval office (and then back out) removes almost every barrier preventing them from doing something "which they could do right now".

Forget pondering your orb. It's time to contemplate the absurd.

 

Wanted a loaded hot dog but found out half way through we only had mini-dogs.

Mini hotdogs and cheddar cheese broiled on a hotdog bun. Loaded up with rice, broccoli, oyster sauce, and Sriracha.

Ended up being delicious. A real hotdog would have been better; the minis kept falling out or moving with each bite. I'd put the Sriracha under the rice next time. It mostly ended up smearing on my face.

 

Posting one reaction image from my phone for each image I steal.

 

Posting a missing classic from my phone for each reaction meme I steal.

 

I saw an article about keelhauling and realized I don't know much about pirates (those on the sea, not the internet) beyond what I've seen in movies. Tell me your most interesting pirate facts. Mythical or historical.

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.

Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.

As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.

I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.

He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.
