@C0untryDick @TNOQuoProQuid A blind seer or wizard is very clearly different from a quirk chungus in an anachronistic impractical wheelchair.

@TNOQuoProQuid having a wizard character who's ostentatiously disabled (usually blind) is like one of the classic pulp fantasy tropes

maybe im really out of the loop but i cannot think of any d&d podcast that even slightly resembles this. it mainly seems like you made up a scenario in your head to get mad about.

@Naczelnik_MW @BrainlessThe2nd I feel like Phil’s character was underdeveloped, like we never found out how long he was in the can.
English
@BrainlessThe2nd as a boss it's Carmine, but as a character in general Phils is the goat
English
Carmine Sr. Was the best boss.
No nonsense, didn’t let his emotions control him, made logical decisons.

@ashwindollar Can increase your risk factors for developing diabetes.... it doesn't cause diabetes.
English
I really wish we'd stop talking about diabetes like it's a thing you can just give yourself.
Klara@klara_sjo
Sometimes I think Americans are trying to develop type 3 diabetes.
English
@tfpump You cannot, however give yourself T1D. You also can't put T1D in remission.
You can also develop T2D while living a healthy lifestyle. Your T2D might never go into remission even if you are careful with diet and exercise.
We've got to stop moralizing illness.

@peterawolf @IssacBabel The main character of the World War series is a traitorous homewrecking mass murdering scumbag but he’s presented as being a good guy. Very strange.
English
@IssacBabel I had the same problem with “The War That Came Early” series. His editor should have been fired. Burnt me out before I could make it to Atlantis or WW3.
A shame. At least his earlier series (TL-191, WorldWar, etc) are solidly written, and his short stuff is still very good.

Harry Turtledove wrote a jolly short story about a guy named T. J. Kahn whose father was a history nerd, and he gets visited by a very confused time traveling grad student from the future.

@falseroxy I have been very smug about the berry patch i put in when we bought our house.
English
smug people talking about this parasite and saying 'grow your own vegetables'... this week? you want me to do that this week? or do you just want to show me the two zucchinis and handful of herbs you grew.
roxy demento@falseroxy
i just read something about how the cdc thinks the doodoo diarrhea parasite could be in the water and that seems grim. but also can i eat the strawberries i got when i just thought we were avoiding raspberries. can i please.

@forcefemfatale Why would the children be harmed if the wife expressed remorse and their parents acknowledged that something tragic has happened? Why is it mandatory that the one who left has to be the hero?
English
this is literally the best possible outcome in this situation for the children and both parents but people are mad because the woman is happy and free and the man accepts her without trying to restrict her or own her as property, which is what straight marriage is supposed to be.

@PositiveBrental @frigglehorn @agraybee This argument really doesn’t hold water anymore. Gay people have agency. Quit infantilizing them.
English
@Josh80329215 @frigglehorn @agraybee Such bad faith.
Someone who, at the behest of a society that says she should behave and be a certain way, buys into it and tries to be what she should be for 20 years, only to realize she doesn't fit in.
No one asks to have a gay awakening in their 40s ffs.
Have some empathy.
English
This is *by far* the healthiest possible way to cope with learning your wife was never attracted to you.

@Tiggi03 @estherzelda0514 @thechosenberg How do you go from promising to love and support your husband for your entire life to laughing about the fact that you’re dumping him? This woman obviously makes some pretty huge changes without thinking about how it will affect those around her.
English
@Josh80329215 @estherzelda0514 @thechosenberg How do you get from "exchanging co-parenting vows" to "fighting him in custody"?
English
@PositiveBrental @frigglehorn @agraybee She found something she liked enough to marry the guy and have children for. Now she’s decided that’s not enough. No amount of labels will make that not a shitty thing to do. Preferring to fuck women vs your husband is the same as preferring to fuck 21 year olds vs your wife.

@Josh80329215 @frigglehorn @agraybee If there's no intentionality to it (if you believe what you feel is atrraction, but you end up realizing it isn't because of realizing your gay) I don't think there's any culpability to that. You didn't know. How can you be blamed for that
English
@frigglehorn @agraybee I think tricking someone into thinking you love them so you can take half their shit is sociopathic.
English
@frigglehorn @agraybee Autonomy doesn’t override morality. She decided to marry someone she wasn’t attracted to. Nothing changed so she has no justification to go back on her vows.
English
@Josh80329215 @agraybee Marriage doesn’t override your autonomy, actually
English
@frigglehorn @agraybee Self deception isn’t an excuse for deceiving others. If it was easy enough for her to mistakenly believe that she was straight then it would be easy enough for her to stick to her marriage vows.
English
@Josh80329215 @agraybee I think it’s possible to believe/convince yourself it’s something you want without “pretending”
English
@frigglehorn @agraybee Pretending to be attracted to someone for a meal ticket and a baby is actually malicious as fuck. This guys entire life was based on a lie she told every day. This is just as bad as if she was cheating on him the entire time.
English
@estherzelda0514 @thechosenberg As long as she never asks for a dime from him or fights him in custody or visitation, I think you’re right. But she definitely owes it to him to spend the rest of her life making up for the fact that she destroyed his with a lie.
English
@thechosenberg I think this is sweet. They both probably knew their marriage didn't feel right for a long time. I hope they are experiencing relief right now for naming why. Remaining on cordial terms with each other is very nice.
English
@Wilson__Valdez @peterawolf That’s how Bernie rolled out M4A the same day as a debate with Hillary.
English
@peterawolf I don't have it handy, but there was a story about how they came up with it and it was literally just them being like "we stayed up late one night and threw it together in like 10 hours"

This is barely an exaggeration

@THE_REAL_CH3 @geoffschwartz So you are fine with players gambling on games from home?

Maybe I’m just too simple minded because I just don’t twist myself into a pickle over this topic. Yes the NFL partners with gambling companies. That doesn’t mean NFL players should be allowed to gamble on the NFL. Seems so simple to me
