Don't forget "I earned this!" while shaking down the serfs and scooping up what comes out.

I agree with you but may I offer you a comma in these trying times?

Thank you! And definitely the same for me. Just like my cat, I am very food driven.

Thank you very much! One of them is definitely shaping up to be quite promising. :)

I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!

If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol

I did well on a couple interviews today so I walked down to the local cafe and had a chai latte and a maple bar.

Tomorrow, if I do well on that interview, I'll go walk downtown and get lunch at the local thai restaurant I like!

I try to never underestimate what people are willing to do, like, and put up with for whatever reasons.

Considering how un-tech savvy newer generations are, I would not be shocked if the idea of being able to tell a computer what to do and "it just does it" appeals. This is, of course, assuming it works as intended (lol.)

I also see this as a further dumbing down of that ability to understand tech. Hypothetically, if this were to launch, go mainstream, and the vast majority of future computer users use it, can you imagine a world in which a future teenager looks confused and goes, "What's an app?"

I listened to a Dark History podcast episode on Booth and I'm not sure people would be as shocked as you'd think haha.

He even tried to hatch a plot to kidnap Lincoln first.

Feels like these things are lining up "coincidentally" huh?

Customer service support company 5CA has released a statement contradicting claims by Discord that it was the victim of a hack last month.
...
5CA says that a preliminary investigation showed that the incident may have been the result of "human error," though it offers no details as to what exactly that implies.

I believe folks have mentioned ZenDesk was involved and this is probably the true source, but the waters have been getting kind of muddy. I think it's important to keep putting pressure on this situation until the truth falls out, if it ever does.

Does getting laid off because a vulture company scooped up the place I was working, harvested the minimum wage workers, and fired everyone with a salary once they were done scraping our institutional knowledge out count?

My players and I all love to roleplay so we're fine with this sort of thing. That said; generally I encourage a little roleplay up front, then we see the roll. Then depending on whoever thinks of the funniest outcome first, the player either adds something to reflect the roll's outcome, or I find some reason why whatever they said up front did/didn't work. Either way, it's great fun for all of us!

On the rare occasion I run for a different/new table though? Nope, not unless I see the players showing initiative by roleplaying without my prompting, I'll assume we're here to play it straight.

Permanent Debuff (piefed.zip)

Sometimes when I'm randomly hit with an unexplainable negative emotion, I think of it in terms of having a permanent curse that just randomly debuffs me.
