Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument....
People who play tabletop role-playing games have no social skills. Dude, we sit around and talk with real people for literally hours on end - that is literally what the game is!
Also that Dungeons And Dragons is the only role play game. There are hundreds if not thousands with different themes, focuses, setting, systems and whatever else. DnD is good for high action high fantasy, and if that's your bag that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you want a renaissance coutly intrigue it is really not!
It's a problem. But it happened before when 3rd Ed was released, and wotc have just upset a lot of creators wuth their ogl shenanigans, so I am confident things will change. In the mean time, keep looking, play dnd, and/or run a game yourself.
Absolutely. Every emotion in a safe environment. I know a few autistic people who play, and one once said something along the lines of it being a social interaction where you can sit down and read the files first!
Why am I negative in my reputation? I have not made any posts of comments that are negative (accept for maybe a small one or two but it would have been like 4 to 6 or something). Why am I -46 when I have a highly upvoted thread?
If he had given them back after the March 11th subpoena, he would have walked away with a finger wag. He didn’t- whether that’s hubris, profit, or whatever.
We do know he retained top secret documents and left them without security. He conspired with others to evade detection. He knowingly thwarted the FBI and others from acquiring the documents. He’s a #NationalSecurityThreat
Would you like to provide any evidence or reasoning or, like, any conscious thought at all rather than spewing whatever shit a pig farmer in the Philippines says?
So that's a no then. The daily Heil is not a good source for anything, the others are bullshit too (yeah okay there are photos of hunter bidens dick on his lap top. So what?). Plus completely irrelevant to whether trump is a fascist shitstain (and he is both of those)
Oh, and I am not going to do research to try to find pivtures of people having sex with kids. Why would you even suggest such a thing?
Oh one other thing - you have a Punisher skull as a profile pic. Frank Castle would hate you and not hesitate to shoot you. I suggest you read some comics, they're more entertaining that that Q nonsense you usually read. The Punisher Max (by Garth Ennis iirc) run is good
I have a habit of reading far too many books at once, and have developed "themed" reading months for myself to help keep my focus (for instance I usually read one Stephen King novel a year, and only in October)....
I'm part of a book club (well there's three of us) and we not infrequently have queer books of one sort or another. Here's a few that I've enjoyed that fit the bill
City in the middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders - it's a sci fi set on a planet that's tidally locked so only a thin band of twilight around the middle is habitable by humans. It's not primarily about such things but lesbianism is a strong undercurrent
Loveless by Alice Oseman - it's about someone going to university and figuring out that she's asexual rather than broken. I never would have thought I'd enjoy such a book but it's honestly great and funny. It feels kinda like a romantic comedy without the romance
Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - this was sold to me with the line "lesbians and necromancers in space"! It's one part sci fi, one comedy, one part body horror, and the many character is lesbian and, while it's not a romance, her sexuality is relevant because she makes some really poor choices because of it! It's a quadrilogy but the final one hasn't been released yet (was going to be a trilogy but the author wrote an extra one)
Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey - a rather short post-apocalyptic western about librarians smuggling queer people and anarchist literature
Criminal Gold by Ann Aptaker - A noir set in 1939 New York that's dark, gritty and (at times) brutal about a lesbian* (which was illegal back then) who is an art smuggler. Warning there is a rather too graphic SA scene very early on, but it doesn't actually cross that line again (though it comes close). The first in a series, I've read the first three and enjoyed them all.
DC Pride by various authors - a comic released each year by DC Comics to celebrate Pride month, about variously queer characters (and in one case, Kevin Conroy, the gay voice actor for Batman/Bruce Wayne in Batman The Animated Series)
* I swear we are not focused on lesbians, it's just happened that way!
If I can get what I need from facebook without having to actually go there I'm good with this, if not I'm not convinced they could offer anything others didn't offer better
I was running to get my train. For a reason i still can't explain, in the station entrance hatch, i turned right instead of continue right and hit the glass with my face. I have now a scar near the eyebrow.
Personally, I think Questionable Content, Kevin and Kell, and Dumbing of Age are great for this. They all have a ton of history, and Kevin and Kell is actually one of the longest running webcomics ever.
Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
If so, do you consistently report it and get the feeling that it gets dealt with? Of course there are instances dedicated solely to being human trash
What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument....
What's "OC"?
I keep saying posts marked as "OC" but I have no idea what that means. Does anyone know?...
In 2006, an Australian man tried to sell New Zealand on eBay. The bid had reached $3000 AUD before it was taken down. (medium.com)
Question about reputation

Meta will release an ActivityPub-enabled Twitter clone/competitor this summer. Will you join in or defederate? (www.theverge.com)
Here is what we know about it so far:...
What's your sign?
People from Reddit or redditors, people from Boston are Bostonians, people from Canada are Canadian. What should the people of this site use for a demonym?
I've seen keebinetters, but that feels like trying to say Massachusettsian instead of Bay Stater....
What's the dumbest way you hurt yourself ?
