I'll never forgive the Dungeons and Diversity YouTube channel for the shitty bait and switch channel name when trying to introduce new people to the hobby. They can fuck right off forever.

Ah, rural Colorado. So beautiful. So concerning. Lol.

Meh. Work isn't for fulfillment. Work is just there so I can eat, pay bills, and fund my hobbies.

This reply is really late, but just wanted to thank you for the really good write up on this post.

Oh, no. You misunderstood. I absolutely acknowledge that. It's a pretty spicy issue in my area. It would pretty rad to choose where my taxes go, though. I'd much rather fund schools and national parks. I think that's dragging things a bit off-topic, though.

If I never hear Lee Greenwood again it'll still be too soon.

"Looking another human being in the eye, making an independent decision to kill him, and watching as he dies due to your action combine to form one of the most basic, important, primal, and potentially traumatic occurrences of war."

It's an unpopular take, but I recommend everyone read the book "On Killing" by Dave Grossman. It's obvious that what Israel is doing is very much a genocide, but I stand firm in my opinion that their boots-on-the-ground infantryman are also victims of the Israeli political machine.

I feel that. Getting the official steam working, plus dealing with blackouts is a nightmare. I usually just listen to the game on the radio and check the box score every period on my phone. It's unbelievable how much the official stream costs compared to the low quality of the app. And still being subject to blackouts at that price is insane.

Not to mention that my team is basically a factory of sadness anyways, so once regular season is over there's not much for me to keep up with.

It's been memed to death at this point, but this is one reason I like the political compass. It's got width and height, and does a little bit of a better job at representing things.

Need to add Jill Stein and Chase Oliver to the mix to fully embrace how weak all our candidates are.

I'm a pretty big fan of Dark and Darker! Will admit, the randoms from the Discord are... Questionable at best lol. Would definitely be happy to roll with ya whenever you're not streaming, though! PM me your deets!

Alright. I been afraid to ask for fear of getting banned from other communities hosted on their instance, but what is the deal with hexbear? The chat community seems like satire, but it gives off the same kind of vibes as the_donald, just far-left instead of far right. Like, I consider myself a lefty, but their community just seems self-destructive and toxic. Maybe that's the point, though? Honestly unsure, and afraid to ask on their instance cuz I don't wanna get accused of "just asking questions" and banned.
