Seven Tenets for life, friend! Card-carrying member over here, and yes, I too distance myself from the leadership. But that’s the thing; flawed people can still have a positive impact on the world

I am here for more Barbie’s Dreamhouse memes

Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, River (fka Sarah) Shook…

You underestimate how much open, undeveloped space there is in CA.

I teach college chemistry, and half the time it’s to STEM majors that see the obvious applications, but the other half the time, my students are going into nursing or other “STEM-adjacent” fields and I try and try to get them to see that the applications are there, if they just look, but many of them never do.

Every time I think I can’t love Zach Weinersmith any more, he goes and makes a comic like this

Australia has no strategic importance to Russia, therefore Trump doesn’t care about it.

You could be mixing up correlation and causation. The divorce could have happened for any number of reasons and the ensuing loneliness and alienation could have been what led the husband to seek validation in manosphere bullshit

That a ridgeback? Mix? She looks a lot like my (alleged) purebred

Edit: and Mt wife just got a kitten named Harley, too. Coincidences piling up

An old character actor who became somewhat relevant again when Family Guy referenced him and he voiced his own character, but then he turned out to be a racist piece of shit.

the lack of meaningful decision points.

Again, that’s part of the point.

I mean, he’s not wrong. 90% of the time I hear someone wax poetic about how amazing math is, they haven’t the faintest clue what they’re talking about.

Scientists and mathematicians appreciate the beauty of the universe, too, but it’s more in the “we are tiny bits of matter trying to understand the vastness of the cosmos” sense (at least in my experience as a chemist who loves talking about this shit with my microbiologist and mathematician friends)

Depends on which continent you’re taking about. In the US, sure, the music of the Ramones is much more widely known, and while the Smiths are known, their influence is much more along the lines of “your favorite band’s favorite band.”

In the UK (and I’m guessing in continental Europe as well), those positions are reversed (IME as an American who listens to a fair bit of British post-punk and reads a lot of music journalism/criticism).

Religion, to me, is no more than parables that teach good questionable morals.

Ftfy.

Oh shit, they finally released a full album? How did I miss that‽

I think most people tend to regard Morrowind as peak Bethesda/Elder Scrolls. At least I do.

Man, fuck that joker. 😭

It’s people like you that get me outta bed in the morning

That’s fair. I’d say it’s easier on the GM, but asks more of the other players

edit: Plus, there are free digital tools for doing that planning that that are super robust and easy to use. I find myself using Pathbuilder to plan out characters I know I’ll never have a chance to play.
