Our Kind and Benevolent DM gives us holiday gifts and I asked for a custom trait because my rogue has her adopted gnoll toddler and just had triplets, so I felt like she'd have a bit more resistance now when someone who could get her pregnant tries to Charm her lol.

I hurt my arm and was sitting for hours waiting to be called for an x-ray. Finally a doctor came out and said, "Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie, O, what a panic's in thy breastie!" No wonder I'd been waiting so long, I was in the bloody Burns unit.

My roommate, Susan, is getting an Instacart delivery today. The shopper just messaged her and said the store was out of stock of distilled water. Then he sent her a photo.

Lawyer from down the hall (my building is zoned mixed residential and commercial) corrected my "have a good day!" with "actually it's evening now."
Isn't the evening part of the day?

The concierge at my apartment, so apologetic, told me about the woman who demanded to know who lives in my unit and why they were ordering vulgar blankets. She took a package not addressed to her, opened it, and was offended to find a huge woven blanket that says BITCH DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FUCK

I guess having ripped my toenail upward by stubbing my toe a year ago means it's going to happen more readily when I stub it again now. Ow.

Apropos of a reddit post (of course), I'm baffled by people who get *angry* at the idea of forgoing meat products for a single meal. For many reasons, but not least of all: I'm betting every single one of these people has had cheese pizza for dinner at some point. There, no meat!

If you're playing the game Little-Known Galaxy and grinding rep with the NPCs, and find yourself thinking "she's the chief scientist, maybe she'd like a funky microbe," don't give her the common cold. Trust me on this.

Open AI is struggling not to collapse which will impact the whole market. Just don’t use it, it’s that simple. As it stands it’s not viable so don’t help change that

I've always figured that my difficulty remembering time-relevant things (bdays anyone?) at their proper time was probably ADHD-related. If it was just that I didn't care, then you'd think I'd be better at it in video games where taking note of bdays grinds rep with characters.
Nope. I still suck.

Is there really any continuing good reason for video games to save only when the character "sleeps," rather than allowing you to save at will or when leaving the game? Because it's annoying as fuck.

Okay so I have a neurological disorder that's triggered/exacerbated by stress. This morning I was trying to figure out whether I'm ready to go back to my BS program.
Therapist: "What is your body telling you?"
Me: "Well my arm started shaking after I started thinking about it, so..."
