No, not at all. Sure the rich want to be richer, but hurting the poor is a goal in and of itself in our world.

Really? I’ve never once seen it not work that way

Urban fantasy/sci-fantasy, just ripping off (part of) my WoD campaign. The story of a witch surviving in a world that goes out of its way to stomp out everything that makes life worth living.

I genuinely don’t get how people delude themselves into thinking aging is perfectly fine, we’ve always known it’s a terrible process and we’ve sought to defeat it for thousands of years. It’s also wild to me that we aren’t putting a truly stupid amount of money towards that goal either, emperors used to understand that finding the cure to it was worth literally everything. Yet here we finally are with the ability to meaningfully and exponentially progress our knowledge and we aren’t devoting our entire society to it.

“the dude abides”

That’s literally all life right there.

Monachopsis. The subtle and persistent feeling of being out of place, in the company of misfits and dreaming of a place to belong.

And i blame you for the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows binge you’ve put me on

Um… Yes? It’s insane you didn’t recognize the best waifu of all time and a character from one of the big recent anime

Those words are so very true no matter the context

Payment processors are controlled by puritanical conservatives and have been for decades. It’s not (just) about anime, sex workers have been pushed to worse and worse places because of these evil companies.

That’s fucking weird

Couldn’t be, no one is being peaked to death

I’ve mostly stopped acknowledging tomorrow. No saving for a future that probably won’t exist, no planning for a tomorrow that will never be stable.

Galorian, the Pathfinder setting. I imagine most people with any kind of education here on earth could live an easy life as a wizard, but being blessed by Desna might not be that hard for someone who left their world behind. Wandering in service to the great dreamer might be a really nice life.

And since earth canonically exists in the setting i could use some wizardy-woo to teleport there if i ever need something that isn’t easy to get on galorian (or whatever plane or planet i move to)

They just found one of the many think pieces about how conservative comedy usually sucks and is trying to get their little jab in at the left. They probably don’t even know what their talking about.

The fuck are you on about? That isn’t what religion is at all, hell that isn’t even what the Abrahamic regions are

Damn, you’d think after that the britbongers would have wised up and stomped out the puritans entirely. Would have saved America a lot of trouble if they did.

In person? My first job was pretty sweet, pretty much everyone understood worker solidarity, even most of the management was good people. One day i warned my friend that i was probably not going to show up the next day, you know just giving him a heads up. Well this new hire overheard and apparently went to management over it! I got chewed out by the only guy in management that acted like managing a shitty big box store in the middle of bumfuck nowhere was a holy calling worthy of power and respect.

Ending unrelated to the boot licking; after that, this prick has the audacity to act like i was his buddy he could be a bigot with. don’t know why he thought i was his guy there (i was white and the most heteronormative looking man in tht department, but even then i openly hated him and was super close with the openly and obviously not cishet guy) but i got him fired over it.

I should be a little grateful though, he taught me that not every homosapien is a real person.

Until i die i am immortal, no one has any proof to the contrary.

Sounds more like a cain to me

I would say gamer, but that doesn’t really mean ttrpgs these days. Maybe storyteller, but its been awhile since i was in the ST chair.
