I hope you are in or can find a place where you are safe. I wish I had more ... sorry.

Part of me wants to say that I'm in CA and therefore plenty safe, but with Obergefell explicitly on the chopping block, my state was the plaintiff in that case. Even here I cannot guarantee that my marriage is entirely safe. To say nothing of my own health care.

My heart breaks for all of those who are definitely going to be losing bodily autonomy in large swaths of this country. Trans folx, women. Hell, even Lawrence v. Texas might not hold up. Who even knows?

Not going to google that. Can’t afford the therapy.

This is why I have a reputation as one of the board's resident pessimists. As negative as my views on many game products are, my perspective on our real world is often even bleaker.
I've gotta try to find something to be positive about. My wife is going to need that when I get home.

Left to themselves, things go from bad to worse; then, the cycle repeats.

If this is one of those days on which you aren't ready to face all that's happening in the wider world, I'd say, "Give it a pass and wait until you're in a better headspace."

I don't know how it happened that we became convinced, in this digital age, that we've an obligation always to stay current on all current events, but I will say I'm convinced that conviction is false.

Considering that "current events" now seems to include such things as Jared Leto making a fool of himself at the Met Gala staying up to date is both impossible, and pointless.

If most people look at the words you're using, and expect them to mean something other than what you intend them to mean, maybe you should be open to the possibility you are using those words as jargon, or perhaps wrongly. You are not Humpty Dumpty.

If you look carefully at my words, you'll realize that I'm actually saying something else. I'm not actually telling you about the several ways I'm gradually murdering Bards.

You can pretty much always assume that this is true and move on with your life

Nightly reminder for myself that it's better to listen than to talk.
I hate not having solutions. I hate not being able to do anything to make it better.
Is it any wonder that my hobbies center around power fantasy?
