On a more serious note, I have absolutely no basis for this whatsoever but I think it’s likely there’s an antimatter universe somewhere, and that that and our universe spontaneously came into existence from nothing. 0 = -1 + 1. I mean, it’s almost certainly nonsensical to the people who study this stuff but it’s a fun idea
Yeah, priuses are really low maintenance for the most part, it’s nice. And motorcycles aren’t necessarily the death traps people are making out here, higher risk yes but if you’re a defensive, aware driver and not a squid it’s really not bad. Motorcycles don’t tend to attract defensive drivers though.
Hey, not being judgmental, just curious. Are the games you enjoy more almost entirely combat? Or do you just skip roleplaying stuff like shopping? What would your ideal split be?
My first game I participated in (it ran for several years, with a bit of a ship of theseus situation, by the time it ended the GM and I were the only original ones left) was basically entirely combat. It was a super drag, but that was half 4e’s fault. Tbh it wasn’t good after we swapped to 5e but it was better. I still had fun because, you know, spending time with friends, but I really didn’t enjoy it that much. I started playing with another group of friends and it was almost exactly opposite, almost entirely RP with very little combat for the most part, except for the occasional dungeon delve or something along those lines where it would be mostly combat for several sessions. I really loved that game and it really opened my eyes to how much fun the game could actually be. It’s also really group/dm dependent though.
That game ended, and we’re doing a new one with the same group, but one of the players is now co-dming, intending to do more of the combat while the original dm does more of the roleplay (splitting planning, equally active during sessions). We’re only a couple sessions in but it’s working out really well so far
Absolutely nothing wrong with games like that! I feel you on player vs character charisma, and in backstory hooks and the like. Our DM really likes to hook our backstories into the game, and I frustrate him a little sometimes by usually keeping my background simple. Done right, the backstory hooks into current events, so it’s not a “why are we doing this instead of the main quest” deal. Some of my favorite game memories are of conversations amongst the party characters dicussing what’s going on with those hooks and helping the related character through it. I think it’s really good for me though because our players are really good. We make sure that everyone gets involved, or if someone’s not feeling it tonight we can steer more clear of them. We’re not afraid to hand waive unimportant things, especially if/when the party gets split up. Everyone’s really working together to make sure everyone’s having a good time, and I feel like that’s not as common as it should be.
Nothing against more strategy and combat focused games though! The teamwork is really what makes combat come alive in my opinion, and there’s nothing more satisfying than a well laid plan coming together (except maybe everything going wrong and pulling it off anyways)
Nah your reward is something you reap throughout the month, it’s more pleasurable sessions with your favorite dildo because having not come in a while really heightens the experience
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo....
Possible TMI warning, I’m into stuffing my butt with dildos and will occasionally do a deep clean with a large enema, around 6-8 liters. When I do that much it pushes the gas in my bowels back through to my stomach and it makes me burp. Gross but neat
Can someone explain fiber for me? I see guides recommending it heavily and then other saying to limit it 1-2 days before bottoming as it leads to gas. I’ve been vegan for years. My biggest worry is being gasy and ruining it. I know dieting around sex is controversial, but I genuinely don’t seek judgement, I get enough from...
For me personally, cutting out sugar was enough to make my shit a lot more solid and consistent. I still do quick rinse outs before playing just to make sure but I haven’t found it necessary to take husk or increase my fiber intake. I still do deep cleans sometimes but that’s more because I enjoy them than they’re necessary.
Yeah but it’s not like I can fix any of them. I vote and occasionally donate to causes and hope that’s enough. Fuck, does it really matter if you’re informed when really there’s no direct impact you can have on the situation
We’re kept too busy trying to survive and too divided by the propaganda machine to organize and make things better. There certainly is a “me first” attitude problem as well but as always the situation is more complicated than that.
Tbh I don’t get these kind of memes, as far as I remember picard never really gives a deadline, just asks for it as quick as possible, with geordi busting his ass every time to try to get it done, regardless of whether or not it’s actually possible.
And, in those situations, I really don’t think picard is being unreasonable. When your options are “do the tech thing” or “have long odds at pulling something else off”, asking for the tech thing as quickly as possible sounds pretty reasonable to me
I totally get cool and expensive shoes, I just don’t get wearing them as a daily thing. I don’t have to though, people don’t need my approval to wear whatever the fuck they want
Tbh, the star trek TNG universe probably. Go see a post scarcity society, a world where humanity really made it, then go find a job on a starship for a while
“No. I’ve been over this before. You don’t get a say in the matter.”
“Yeah but you do! And I know you want to. I’ve been in that head of yours, remember? I know exactly how much you really want to.”
“Not as much as I don’t want to. I’ve spent years pushing you away internally, don’t think for a second just because you can bother me physically and audibly I’m going to give in now.”
“Hmmm, want to bet? I’m physically here now, I’ll make sleep even harder for you. I’ll get on your phone when you aren’t paying attention and drive your friends further away from you. I am still as everpresent as before, I’m just even better at making your life miserable now.”
“You know what? You’re right. You’re not inside me anymore. But that’s a good thing, because now I can really do something about you. I guess you are getting what you want, just partially.”
I kind of wanted it to be ambiguous in that regard, when the part of you with the suicidal ideation becomes its own being, who does it really want dead?
I understand that Russia is the aggressor and stuff. However, posting combat footage of people dying while playing funky music is disrespectful and disgusting. No matter how “bad” you think that person is.
I don’t know what I am, I feel good in my masc body and also feel the desire to look fem and occasionally self insert as women when consuming porn. Idk it really doesn’t matter, I kinda think I just want to be someone other than me.

Depends on the teleportation system. In star trek you are comprised of the same physical material, just converted to energy and back. I could be wrong though, I’m no expert. I think a more interesting question is, would you be more ok being killed in one place, having your body be transported mundanely and being revived at your destination, or being cloned perfectly and then having the original killed? Theoretically the same to you either way
Even if you don’t call it an addiction, I still consume an unhealthy amount of porn imo. I worry that I wouldn’t be able to get it up for a real person, not that it matters cause I’m too mentally screwed up to try hooking up or dating.
Bruh I haven’t been brainwashed by religious messaging, I have an archive of like 20 gbs of super niche fetish shit because I’ve essentially over the past decade shifted what I consider normal way into the deep end. I’m not saying that porn addiction is a thing, just saying that overconsumption can still be a problem.
