Putting antifreeze in wine? That is a serious offense!

Whenever I pick up my knife my brain says, "what if I just stick this into my belly?"

They say your brain imagines these scenarios so that you can try to avoid them, but the more you learn about trying to wrangle your brain the more I think the brain is just a dick sometimes.

I spent far too long looking at this graph thinking that blue was male and pink was female and drawing the wrong conclusions

New canon: some demon ate Doomguy's lasagna and now he's looking for it

Everything old is new again

Okay, but that shit's hard to do in cowboy boots

The West Edmonton Mall used to have more submarines than the Canadian navy. I think that was before the dolphins though.

I'm a big fan of Day of the Dead (1985)

On the surface, it's a bunker zombie movie. But like truly good zombie movies, it's not about the zombies. It's more about humanity's response to existential dread and how groups can fail to cooperate with each other.

The movie's been remade a few times, but imo the original is the most thought provoking.

Well the good news is that "they" is no gender identity I've ever heard of. It's the third-person pronoun to be used when gender either doesn't matter or is unknown. For example, "I got an email from a new client, I wonder what they want?"

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that pronouns themselves aren't genders. You should list whichever pronouns you're comfortable being used for yourself, and the presence or absence of them from your profile says nothing about your personal beliefs.

Hey, I just want to say that I have a similarly tragic backstory, and I see you. It's never easy, but it does get easier.

If you really don't care about pronouns but want to signal that you realize they're important to people, why not try he/they on for size? People will probably default to "he" which you're accustomed to, but if someone uses "they" would you really notice?

I did this one campaign which was a hexcrawl where the party was shipwrecked on an island purported to hide the lost city of gold.

The site of the shipwreck was home base, but the party obviously wanted to explore. There were some NPC crewmate survivors, so they would assign them to work on projects while they were exploring. I would always tell them that "some guy" was working on their stuff.

Cut to a few months later when they have a sort of mutiny on their hands. It seems that one crew member in particular was fed up with how much work they had to do while the party went adventuring that they turned the crew against the party.

The mutinous ringleader's name? Sum Gai
