It wasn’t you. 😜

One thing that’s surprisingly difficult is playing a character only slightly less capable in some way than yourself. It’s a blurry line, and one that might not raise any flags from your fellow players.

I’ve seen this, yes. But mostly in commercial contexts decades ago. But the commercial spaces mostly moved onto mockups that were hollow- much cheaper, lighter, and easier to store. Most of the people I’ve heard of doing that on a personal level were doing it to project an image of erudition...

I just had another thought about ethical/healthy eaters in RPGs. Imagine an Androgum-like/Dark Sun halfling character who only kills things he’s willing to eat…

“Not tonight, dear, I have a deadache.”

“Do you even lift, bro?” “Meat is murder! You should go vegan like me!” “I’m not struggling for breath, but I can hear you wheezing. You need to work on your endurance.” “More gains means heavier chain!”

I’d add “or lower” after “higher”.

Could be worse. Imagine if they were Medellín kids! That cartoon could have been VERY different if The Mystery Machine had been driven by youths from an international drug cartel.

I’ve seen similar things done with nonhuman biology in the Alien Nation movie & TV show, as well as the books of Harry Turtledove (Worldwar and Colonization novels) and C.J. Cherryh (Foreigner novels).

Spot eliminated!

Upon further review, I’m not giving Mott & Bow a try unless & until they change their return policy. As it currently stands, they ONLY give you store credit if you’re dissatisfied with your purchase. That’s a red flag for me.

So we had a refrigerator repair scheduled today…Friday the 13th. Dude was 2hrs late, and the company AI didn’t tell us he was late (even though the text the company sent AT 7AM said it would). Just as I’m getting ready to call the company, I get a text from a different tech saying the call had...

I didn’t say I AGREED with it.😁

I did! Nice typo/Freudian slip! Still didn’t give him his machete back.

Ah! So it was still seasoned, just not during the cooking process. I can see that.

NOW THERE’S TWO OF ‘EM!

TBH, I wouldn’t know. Beyond LinkedIn, a couple image hosting sites and a couple forums like this, I don’t participate in social media. No Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter or any of that stuff. Never even loaded those things onto my machines.🤷🏾‍♂️

To be clear, that was an exceptional case. The CC bonus points came from a card that was used to run my Dad’s business. You buy enough supplies & appliances over the course of a year for those points to add up. The hotel rewards came from our group member who had to travel as part of her job.
