For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

Yeah DnD isn’t really competitive, everyone there is there to cultivate the most fun situation they can.

Although I feel like if you get into groups where they’re trying to lean to hard into the role playing aspect of the game you can meet some real fucking weirdos.

Agreed, but it depends on how they roleplay. As a DM i was very roleplay heavy and did voices for characters and tried to set the scene, but it was always lighthearted and fun. Like kobolds for instance, they always have a nasally voice and heavy lisp. I'm lucky that my groups were usually really into roleplay as well, and it was great. Some weird stuff happens ofc but it's all in the context of the game. Like when we were playing Tomb of Annihilation (i didn't DM), one of the players ended up in a relationship with one of those cat people because he was one of the turtle people and it was really really funny.
