Well, they were.🤷🏾‍♂️

It isn’t. Many skills requiring a big investment in time to learn have formal or informal safeguards for its practitioners to make money. MDs have laws making it illegal to practice without a license and control over licensing bodies. Lawyers have much the same. Sports have a high entry bar...

Those doctors are teaching because they’ve already learned a great deal about their profession and ALSO because they keep practicing & learning. They didn’t just go from med school into teaching; they didn’t stop practicing when they became teachers. My dad is a MD. One of his...

While true, it doesn’t take much imagination to imagine that creators of poetry, prose, music or any visual art form might have been able to achieve more in their favored mediums had they been able to make a living from doing so. For example, more time painting means more refinement of the...

Several years ago, I bought a set of clear plastic playing cards- some of the earliest ones on the market, as far as I know...

Best campaign I ever ran was essentially a sandbox. It was a supers game using HERO, but the campaign setting (embellished & enhanced) from Space:1889. While I did have certain adventures in mind and plotted out to create the overall plotline, for the most part, the players set the pace and...

@overgeeked I’ve seen several of those, but not all…and Twin Peaks is on the not list.😱 I think I’ve seen all of 3 episodes, nonsequentially.
