Chess, magic the gathering, jazz guitar and bass
I left tonight totally understanding how this flopped with a cast of very young performers. You absolutely need someone like Groff in the center. Someone you can imagine believing in because WANT to, even beyond your own good sense.

The most useful writings I've ever done were extensive, friendly, useful OPs for games and hobbies I'm passionate about. Genuinely proud to serve.

Also, the Trump thread posters one by one realizing we were giving ourselves brain damage was important to see.

This was my big takeaway from "These Truths." You go, "oh we have always been this way about almost exactly these same issues."

With kids you also do this like, "Jeremy Michael's dad" ... And all those -son surnames make sense, too.

It seems like a lot of the sincere hesitant people landed on, "I totally understand some people genuinely need it, and some who don't still want it. I just want a chance to make my own decision." This stance kind of flies against all of that.

That was our take with the kids. They preferred it when it felt like a JB movie, we preferred it when it felt like a ND movie.

I've been doing this to my wife for years and she has never once commented on it.

"I'm running out for milk and bananas."

My 12yo has spent the past month scream-singing her own mashup of Pink Pony Club and Real Slim Shady.

In rural Virginia we do not, because we don't have trash service. Everyone has to toss bags in the truck and drive them to the "green boxes" themselves.

I don't know squat about any of it, but I wonder if the extreme brightness and blown highlights on these is a product of maybe the physical prints becoming duller through use and needing to boost them. Or maybe the opposite is true and they just blow out over time through use?

I logged in here once when I created the account and then for the second time the night of the election. Staying there felt complicit. I had already deleted the T account, so it was either this or nothing. Pleasantly surprised a bunch of others came along!

This was a big one for me, the conversations around big events were a huge part of why I loved it. But when that kind of dried up, all that was left was a feeling I was encouraging the ownership over there by staying.

It's wild to read up on lesser crusades, which all went basically "group asks to retake holy land, pope says no; group wanders 100 miles in a random direction, gets bored, kills 1000 Jews for some reason."

Your bio says Durham, are you still here? Where are you playing? I'm only a couple of years of adult improvement, but all the chess I've found around here looks scholastic.

20M people said, "eggs went up $1 and my check stayed the same." Any challenger would have beaten any incumbent, no matter the candidate or party. Everything else is probably noise.

I dumped it last night, finally. Always said I was in forever, but the dam finally broke.
