I thought we had gotten to the point nobody would fall for the BOFA bit anymore.

Glad to be wrong. God bless

19. "Fluff" and "crunch" in TTRPGs are not actual things (the terms drive me up a wall). Setting context is what gives mechanics and processes meaning, and it is more of a question how much setting and what kinds of setting information you use.

I'm having "turned 40 midlife crises" (getting back into warhammer and learning to smoke). Maybe I should just become this guy? I'm happily married, WFH dad, decent baker, hang out at the brewery. Don't have much advice but it's generally "don't overthink, respect other people, be patient."

My first Tottenham goal as a spectator was a Sonny backheel against Watford. In my mind it was perfect. I was hooked. I'm still Tottenham through and through, and I'm glad we got him a trophy (deserved more), but this will sting even more than the Ange sacking.

Is it me (and the liquor store guy), or are Oktoberfests and MΓ€rzens being released earlier and earlier each year? Is this a global warming?

Two of my rimworld colonists became new lovers, but there's a 30 year age gap (49m and 19f). I'm early in the game so we haven't developed social media (is that a thing that happens?) so I have nowhere else for my other three colonists to do an age gap discourse

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

We gotta start coming up with imaginary culture war shibboleths for journalists to credulously report as a bizarre and out of touch belief held by all conservatives. Taking suggestions

Also, they're a cool blue color and let me listen to music at just the right balance for my broken ears on Bluetooth. It's good and everyone deserves such things.

The VA got me some hearing aids that make managing a legitimate ass disability relatively easy, plus helping my anxiety disorder. Everyone everywhere should have that level of healthcare.

It's literally what language, as tool, does. Don't get stealth solopsistic and superior just because an infant or two happened.

Back in my 20s & early 30s, bunch of (former) friends acted like being a parent imbued one with secret, otherwise unattainable wisdom.

Friends, everything I've "learned" or had "revealed" to me in the first six months of parenthood has been relatively easy to communicate to my non parent friends.

The older it gets, the more Blink 182's "What's My Age Again?" demonstrates itself. In this virtuous hermeneutic spiral I will...

My wide and child just ambushed me and the other child as we returned from getting a fresh butt in the kids' room. The lasers flew and Grumpto (the other child) and I were defeated.

One of the benefits of having twins is that when their toes become laser guns, there are two so my wife and I can have laser toe fights.

The whole "You're an only child now, all our stuff is getting left to you..." is a trip of a conversation with my parents.
