Appropriate username.

The Democratic party has no institutional power at the moment. Stop assessing blame to them and focus in who is allied and able to help.

Blaming the Democratic Party is completely useless, as useless as you believe them to be. In part they are captured, and in part they are literally in the jaws of a fascist government.

And you're still blaming them for this moment. They might end up at GITMO.

No, I don't love it because it's headed down a shitty path and being pushed there by shitty people who reject the core tenets of who we were supposed to be.

But I want to improve it so that they cannot tear it apart, and might some day be worthy of respect and love.

This country is likely done for. Time to start planning for the one to come after the fight.

A buddy of mine was interviewing for a job and got it in part because he was a player in one of my games. They knew they could get along with him.

You're right, it's exclusive when it shouldn't be.

I would expand the question. "Sci-fi had always inspired me, what clicks for you and why?"

I don't see it that way at all.

This woman has no credibility at all due to her prior words and actions, and even if it were not true, giving a speech in front of the House of Representatives is not the right venue.

So what is she doing? Wasting all our time.

On Reddit, the conversation was usually incredibly angry and rude.

Here, some people fall back into that habit, but it's usually calmer and more thoughtful.

So that's what I try to do, try to be encouraging and uplifting when I can.

This is a Midwestern newspaper with a headline that might speak to conservatives in a time when very little media is speaking out against Trump.

Why are you all shitting on it?

I've always felt pride in the ideals of my nation, and shame from its actions.

But at least I still hold onto the ideals. It's not nothing.

Made for a very awkward video, wherein a ton of people shat themselves in their cars and then got out and wandered around, looking for a bathroom.

We've all done it, but we didn't mingle with each other afterwards.

Oh hey, that's the band that did the opening credits song to Justified, and I've always liked that song!

 

I'm a 50 year old dude, never cared about sports. But my wife got into PWHL last year and I started watching with her.

It doesn't have the toxicity that I've seen in so many male dominated sports. We're Minnesotans, so of course we support Frost.

Late last season we were watching a game and while the game was tied, our (Minnesota, not yet called Frost) team wasn't making as many shots on goals as they usually did, and I said that.

"What's going on? Why is Minnesota lagging in shots on goal... WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, I'M MAKING OBSERVATIONS ABOUT SPORTS STATISTICS!!"

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

 

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

 

I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this.

Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it.

I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice.

Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.

 

Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together.

"Dude! Context! We are in public."

I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
