Holy heck in wow! Love the art direction! I’m always a sucker for deck builders, but I haven’t seen one with such a cute style! Might just be picking this up soon.

What is going on with those faces?! lol

All hobbies that don’t involve a screen. I’ve been having serious mobility issues, where standing for more than a few minutes is painful and I leave the house only in my wheelchair. It makes going to restaurants, concerts and events difficult. Makes going on hikes impossible or even existing in parks more painful than pleasurable.

Appreciate your legs y’all. :(

I worked for a newspaper overseeing delivery drivers, one of which was regularly hotboxing his car while waiting for his route to be printed. He wasn’t subtle and he was always a little out of it. My bosses said it wasn’t our problem because technically he was a contractor, not an hourly employee. His route took place around 2 AM so with empty roads it hadn’t really been a problem, but I didn’t want indirect blood on my hands when it invariably DID become a problem.

So I called in a suspicious driving report after he left the warehouse one night. The next night his route was being done by someone else. I worry that I caused him long term trouble by involving the police, but I try to balance that against the potential trouble of a crash.

Idk, I don’t regret my choice, but I do still feel conflicted when I think on it.

Oooooh that’s good! I’m gonna try incorporating that in to my day to day. Ty!

Rhianna is from Barbados? Huh, TIL.

Unfortunately Hannibal kinda sucks.

Buress owns a building in Chicago; in 2017, he removed residential tenants in order to convert the property into Airbnb short-term rental units. In October 2019, he posted a tweet against Bernie Sanders’s call for rent control and asked for donations to an Illinois landlords association, leading to Twitter users criticizing him with the phrase “Hannibal Buress is a landlord”. Buress later stated that he regretted his now-deleted tweets, which he claimed were jokes meant to stir up controversy. He attributed the criticism he received to fallout over comments he made on Sanders’s age. Buress also said a housing charity had refused his $4,000 donation due to his perceived landlord advocacy.

So him not caring who is paying him, long as he is getting paid, sorta tracks. :/

This is an oversimplification, but tldr…

Tankies are Authoritarian communist, as opposed to democratic or liberal communism. It refers to when the soviet union put down rebellion in Hungry and Czechoslovakia by rolling in the tanks. It prioritizes order over individual freedoms.

You need to tell him not to get defensive.

This confused my friend, apparently, and he said “How was I supposed to know when he looks so feminine?”

If he is new to queer spaces and is trying to understand than the first thing is to listen, decanter himself and calm down. If for example he called his friend Jason by the name Tyler, would he instantly say "How could I know? you look like a Jason!* or would he say correct to Tyler and carry on.

I understand hee is trying to be an positive, but before he can get to that step he has to learn how not to be a negative, and being upset that someone isn’t gendered enough to be unclockable is just feeding fire to the most common trans anexity. He’s human, we all make mistakes, he’s not bad, wrong or instantly a bigot for assuming wrong. But he does become those things when he begins to argue.

I’m not trying to be hard on him, honest kudos for the effort, but he needs to work on not lashing out at anyone who made him self-conscious. Just gotta correct yourself and move on. Every single trans person would rather just be correctly gendered the next time instead of making an event out of it.

Oooh! Ursula is a fantastic pick and my personal favorite author. Even if we decide on something that’s a re-read for me from her I’d call it a good problem. And if not, all the better!

What I had in terms of serious movies was “Women Talking”, which is an entire cast of women and a single man who barely speaks. Set in an amish community where the women have been systematically drugged and SA’d. Tragically based off real events, but a fantastic film. Given the subject matter I wouldn’t blame anyone who would pass on it but it is one that prompts a lot of discussion.

Ooooh fun! I’d love something like that! Either book or movie, or heck. Both! I read a ton but my wife does not so I’m always itching to talk about it my latest finish!

Are you thinking more dramas/serious issues types or something more fun/lightweight? In these scary times both feel nessecary. 😂

Nope, the “even” is important. The NRA supports gun control when minority groups are buying guns.

In contrast to the NRA’s rigid opposition to gun control in today’s America, the organization fought alongside the government for stricter gun regulations in the 1960s. This was part of an effort to keep guns out of the hands of African-Americans as racial tensions in the nation grew. The NRA felt especially threatened by the Black Panthers, whose well-photographed carrying of weapons in public spaces was entirely legal in the state of California, where they were based.

Breaking Bad and it’s ~5 second intro is easily the best.

I have a handful of dollar store glasses I popped the lenses out from. I don’t need glasses but these help me look.

Look cute. 😉

So I’m not into megs man, platformer shooters are super not my thing. But after loving Paradise Killer I think detective games just might be. I’ve never played any of the Ace games, any suggestions on which is a good entry point to the series? Is there an overall story of are the games self contained?

Oh that was it. My mom used to say it a lot. Sort of a meta answer I suppose. 😂

When getting advice, consider if the speakers life is one you want for yourself.

The uno reverse card you’re trying to play is so silly. Yes, I am intolerant of intolerance. This sort of queerphobic bigotry is hateful, cringe and diametrically opposed to “acceptance”. You can’t be supportive of queer lives when you are also demonizing queer repsentation as ugly.

None of the characters were attractive. One was morbidly obese. Almost all of them were gender non-conforming

Some real capital G-amer takes here. Come everyone, let’s join hands and “objectively” agree to hate minority bodies.
