Background, I have a soy allergy and I'm looking to eat less meat or possibly go vegetarian. I came across this article that includes tempeh, an item made with soybeans even by its own description.

Not defending your friend, but I think part of it is the association with highly processed foods.

I developed a soy allergy, and I was shocked to learn how much it's restricted my diet. In two years I've found one brand of hot dog buns I can eat. If you you look at almost any fast food restaurants allergen menu you will see soy in almost every single item. Mayo is a effectively whipped soybean oil.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, but it's a cheap additive and seems to have some preservative quality, and a good indication that you're food is highly processed. I eat much healthier now, largely against my will.

I'm entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20's who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn't would think those are profound criticisms.

It really is crazy that you can have venture capitalists operate at a loss for a decade just to change the entire infrastructure of society to be dependent on them in the future. Really undermines any kind of microeconomic common sense that is supposedly the basis of capitalism.

I wonder if this is how sociopaths plan their day irl.

As someone that worked in a cabinet shop for years, all mass produced furniture is going to be basically the same quality as what you buy from IKEA. It just feels cheap when you do it yourself.

I've decided that accepting failures and missed opportunities will just add to the replayability

Overall it seems like Larian made an improved version of 5e. I almost want a PHB based on these rules. It's like an Advanced 5e.There's definitely some things that wouldn't transfer to the table top as well like handling 4 boons and buffs to every roll.

I really like the camping supply cost to long rests and the weapon special abilities recharged on short rests.

Eating a grape: wow this is identical to drinking cough syrup

I ran split screen with my wife last night with my 6700XT which I think is probably pretty close performance wise to a series s. It ran great at 1080p. I wonder if the advertised 1440p is the hold up?

Lowering the resolution for split screen on a AAA game seems like a reasonable enough sacrifice for me.

Yeah, as some people have mentioned, when you get people doing the nudge nudge testing the racist/sexist/homophobic waters.

Have you considered that they happened to just be born into the best country in the world, the one true religion, and it's everyone else's job to step in line?

D&D and tabletop gaming in general has helped a lot with my social anxiety and mental health.
