Completely unrelated, my favorite moment in learning non-American English expressions was discovering that an international version of “banana hammock” is “budgie pocket”

This is dumb and I love it
- Comment on What is Reddit doing 1 week ago:
I pay for Proton and the non-free servers generally work, although some have been blocked.
Eventually I’ll treat Reddit like Pinterest, either blocking it entirely from search results, or using FF add-ons to bypass all the cruft laid over the website

Oh I have a question! Do all frequencies on the EM spectrum emit photons? Like, when gamma rays or X rays or microwaves hit something are photons bouncing off/being absorbed and we just can’t see them?

Soooo, technical science question here, super high level, get ready for some Latin and Greek and $14 words:
Does it’s little face flaps get all flippy flappy because it’s excited/hungry? foraging response? breathing? Those flaps were really flipping and I’m just curious

- Comment on Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for money? 4 months ago:
I can see the comments, but no worries. They’ve got some good ideas, just need a little polish on expressing them. I get a real ‘offended for the sake of other people’ vibe. It usually comes from seeing injustice and being angry about it. It’s unfortunate, but often the maladaptive result of those feelings is to be a bully. My opinion might be skewed though, because I’ve had to learn how to manage those feelings myself.
At any rate, I wish them peace and long life

So i saw this response of yours first, and wondered why you’re coming in so hard against someone that: 1) proposed a solution, 2) did not insist it was the only solution, and 3) was opening a dialogue of how to help, instead of dismissing the homeless as most of society does.
Then i saw your responses in the rest of the thread and realized either
A) You’re a troll Or B) You’re socially inexperienced
Your responses to other people show that you think your opinion is the only correct one. Before you immediately bang away on the keyboard defending yourself, please take a moment to reflect on how your speech affects your cause. The adage “you attract more flies with honey than vinegar” may not be scientifically correct, but it is socially accurate.
In general, kindness is never wrong. Be kind to others, including strangers on the internet. OTOH, if you can’t play nice, go touch grass and let the adults have a conversation.
Oh, and you’re not wrong about capitalism being part of the problem. You are wrong that working for policy change is “less than bare minimum”. Doing nothing, that is less than bare minimum

Ngl, i used mods in Morrowind back in the day, and tried them with Skyrim, but today there is such a glut of quality games that i have a backlog of things i still want to play but haven’t had time for yet. I get 1-2hrs each night that i can use to play games. At this rate i won’t be playing Skyrim in Space™ until June next year, and i still want to go back and do a new playthrough with the Phantom Liberty dlc. That’s just the AAA games, there’s several from smaller studios on my list. Plus I GM a SW5e campaign every winter with some friends… man I’d love to quit my job so that I could game.
First world problems, amiright?

Ooof, even Order of the Stick is based on 3.5e. The only thing i know about 1st, 2nd, and 4th editions is what Matt Coleville has talked about in his running the game series (minions and the bloodied condition ftw btw)
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 6 months ago:
Baldur’s Gate 3. I had never played any of the series but the reviews were good so I took a chance. It probably is the closest we’ll get to an actual dnd experience in a single player game (well, except for scheduling conflicts lol). I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far and am trying to not let it take over my life
