Is that woman being "dramatic" or is she just. You know. Demanding a base level of respect.

Every time I advocate for voting people are like "no you shouldn't vote! Read this literature, it'll totally change the way you view voting!" And every single time it's the same fucking "you shouldn't vote because both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins" bullshit wrapped up in some fancy language

We have locked you in a room, to escape you must play DND, but the DND is BAD, cute dramatic music

I'm a Millennial nerd, you think I haven't played bad DnD before? You think I haven't been in campaigns that just fucking suck? You think I haven't played campaigns that start at level 17 with minmaxed gloryhog murderhobos who keep 'forgetting' about the drawbacks or limitations of their abilities, alongside nervous newcomers and a couple of people trying to valiantly actually roleplay, under the guidance of a GM with 'shitstorm' in their facebook name who designs the campaign around getting trying to fit in as many wacky accents and silly magic items like the 'healing shiv' into a town as they can? I HAVE ENCOUNTERED KNOCKOFFS OF VIKING GODS LAZIER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE, MY FRIEND. I HAVE SEEN ARBITRARY RAILROADING ABILITY LIMITATIONS SHOVED IN WITH SO LITTLE EXPLANATION OR JUSTIFICATION THAT YOU WOULD QUESTION WHETHER THE CONCEPT OF WORLDBUILDING EXISTS AT ALL. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE CAST MAGIC MISSILE AT THE DARKNESS, AND I HAVE FOUGHT GIANT MONSTERS NAMED 'GAZEBO'. I WAS THERE, GANDALF.

Wish there was a better social shorthand for “I’m sure they’re a lovely person in their own way but we are so baseline incompatible that being around them longer than five minutes makes me feel like exploding into smithereens.”

Summer produce has begun trickling in-- the first of the tomatoes and peppers have been delicious. My malabar spinach looks AMAZING, so glad I was convinced to plant it! The melons are vining, the cukes and sweet potatoes are also climbing their trellis quite nicely. We went with bush beans this year and I popped them into the greenstalk. They are growing really well in there.

I had cut out the last of the lettuces last week, and man am I ever gonna miss having fresh greens at hand. Also put in a succession of the mizuna on the hopes that an Asian variety might withstand the heat better than the type I planted last year. Gonna try a different kale next year; the red russian didn't do so well for some reason.

The snap peas will have to come out this weekend. The potato plants have bloomed and are starting to slump, which has my partner doing the happy dance (potato fiend, affectionate). Most of the onions are curing, with the remaining dozen or so refusing to snap over. The garlic also comes out soon--it's our first time growing it and I am hoping for a bountiful load. It certainly looks amazing.

If you ever have a chance to plant zinnias do so. We did last year and haven't had to plant a single one this year 🤩

If I can continue to win the battle against the passionflower, it's looking like a good garden year.

Different person, but, I've seen some people who are older in the community claiming that kink and polyamory have historically been considered part of the community. I don't know enough about the history there, do you know anything on that? I've been on the "no" side with those two, but I mean, I don't really know anything that would go against those historical claims, so do you know if are they true?

I don’t know any history surrounding that but kinks and poly are not LGBT+. They deviate from social norms, certainly, but they’re adjectives, not subjects.

okay idk if that made sense im not an english major guys

preston giving the role of General to the sosu instead of taking it himself isn’t just Video Game Main Character Syndrome, it makes complete sense for his character!!!! i am tired of the haters!!!!!

ITS BEEN 9 YEARS EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THE PRESTON HATE
