This is how I found out a couple of my old acquaintances had passed. I searched them up and found their death notices.

On the other hand, I have a friend with whom I made a pact to notify our respective families if we start to go down because we care but are not in regular contact.

I certainly don’t know much but my entry points were Journey to the West and Detective Di.

Chinese xianxia and wuxia shows. I’m a brown person from the American southwest who grew up with mostly European mythology and fantasy stories. Learning about a very different world of myth and lore has been endlessly fascinating and exciting for me. I even homebrewed a ttrpg around it so I can share some of the cool concepts and stories I have learned.

In my last game one of my players got a seemingly dubious treasure - an apron. He later found out it was The Apron of Deliciousness (based on Delicious in Dungeon). He could make monsters and other seemingly non-food items into delicious meals. At one point while trapped in a cave he kept everyone alive with spiderweb soup. queue the horn sound

Yes, I would love to see ranked choice voting at the presidential level.

Me personally, I am ready to go all in on election reform, specifically getting rid of the Electoral College. Not sure what that looks like but I am hopeful in spite of the 700+ times it’s been tried before.

Not too late for someone to give it another shot.

Excellent point right here. I spent nearly twenty years in a trade till arthritis began to develop. I spent the last three years of that job using the education benefits to get a degree and a new tech skill that has morphed into my current career. (I looked into running my own crew but that particular trade was and is in a downturn.)

I worked with someone like that who got their jimmies tussled by cursing. I said sorry in the moment they voiced their feelings and avoided them after that. I didn’t change how I talk or come up with a huge apology.

Universal healthcare

Reproductive rights

Penal system reform

Immigration reform

Recycling and waste reduction

*Election reform and killing off Citizens United would be nice.

As a neurospicy westerner, learning about Chinese mythology has been endlessly entertaining. So different than mythologies that have been exhaustively explored in western media. I even homebrewed a TTRPG that my friends and I are playing that is set in ancient China. I’ve learned a little Mandarin along the way!

I guess I’m in the minority because along with a lot of other genres I like new (and old) country music.

You join the Q Continuom.

Is this how it started? The Borg were actually a bunch of e-waste DIYers?

The only magic answer.

Joints got creaky so I started exercising. That was about sixteen years ago now and it has made a world of difference in my life and the adventures I can experience and enjoy.

This is the way to avoid all the spammy apps and services.

Ads. I was born in the 1900s so I’m used to it.

I got a couple of these about two years ago. They work great and we’ve had no trouble with them. 10/10
