I’m frustrated with all of my friends and acquaintances who claimed they’d love to play D&D some day, yet can never seem to find a group to join.

I’m a DM and I have a brand new campaign starting tomorrow. I’ve been putting out announcement for almost two months now, and those same people are making excuses or ghosting me.

I have the game location, the maps, the miniatures, spare books & dice, and I’m rather adept at teaching new people. I’m just short on people who actually want to play.

We definitely need the difficult button choice meme here.

Turn your back on a colleague?

Or…

Vote for the self described “Black Nazi?”

It’s not just abortion. Republicans are openly entertaining the idea of jailing women for having miscarriages which is a natural bodily function that happens sometimes.

Imagine if Republicans wanted to lock you up in prison for a bodily function you have no control over, you’d get angry too.

“YouTube does now allow content containing conspiratorial claims that individuals or groups are evil, corrupt, or malicious based on their protected group status.”

Oh yes they absolutely do allow it. Satanism is a protected religion like any other, and YouTube is full of hate videos. Reporting them accomplishes nothing.

The irony is that Trump forced Swift to speak up after the fake AI endorsement. Swift would have remained publicly neutral.

I would have loved to see Larian take on the White Wolf IP and make a Vampire: the Masquerade game.

I think that’s just Shadowrun.

Of course it’s a Republican, its almost always a Republican. It’s the crime party, after all.

Computers need to be relatively cool to function properly.

Dust acts as a heat insulator, trapping heat inside.

Dust also clogs the cooling fans from doing their job.

Most computers have built-in features that auto throttle or even self shut-down if the heat gets too high.

More dust = more heat = more speed throttling & shutdowns.

If this is what they’re proudly willing to admit to the general public, imagine what they’re still hiding.

Ma’am, would you prefer to die? Or would you prefer financial ruin & poverty which you will never recover from?

A Republican.

I’m shocked, shocked!

…well not that shocked.

I don’t have anything specific, but generally speaking those who idolize war have never seen the horrors of war. Speaking with veterans who have actually seen real combat is a good place to start.

A lot of celebrities became shitbags, unfortunately. The most disappointing IMO was JK Rowling. My sisters loved the Harry Potter universe, but soured on it after it was reveled Rowling was a huge nazi shithead.

Considering the fact that corporations make up about 70% +/- of all the solution and climate destruction, and the fact that politicians are bribed by said corporations to ignore the problem, there’s little we can actually do about it except voting.

Though it was used in a few games before, a Quake tournament and Half Life 1 cemented the use of WASD controls.

That’s all well and good, but let’s hope we see the fruits of this swing at the ballot box.

My future career as a welder. I’m currently in a paid apprenticeship and I’m stuck on the final qualification before graduation. Everything else was easy, but the copper-nickel to mild steel test keeps failing. I’m on my forth and final test attempt.

If I fail, there’s a real possibility I’ll be fired. It would be foolish of them to fire me as they’ve already invested a considerable amount of time, money, and training on me. But I don’t know if they’ll see reason, so I’m getting my resume ready for another job.

It shouldn’t be hard to find another job, this current one has already given me four years of on-the-job apprentice training experience. I just don’t want to leave this current job as I like it here.

I was invited to go, but I’m rather busy with other things.

I guess it depends on what you intend to donwith the laptop as they’re not all built the same.
