@Ghost I hope it's good. Mel Brook's humor is such that I think a lot of his old stuff couldn't be made today.

When your friend's new project takes off and you can't help but be so happy to see everyone else admiring the work they put in. ❤

There's a word for it, finding joy in others' happiness, but it is Sunday and I am too lazy to look it up.

@buttercup I mean, the Sheriff that had hassled him and his friends that one night? He's not interested in solving it.

Kids everywhere can be brutal. Groupthink and all. I know there are places it's /better/ but.. -shrug-

@reimesu Basically, it's someone on camera on like Twitch, generally with some sort of music in the background - low-fi, or whatever floats the streamer/chat's boat.

The one I discovered today, she sets a timer for like an hour, then there's a short break, etc. And having someone there, even if they're just on camera, it's like body doubling for people with ADHD.

First time hearing this news. Very sad, as he was indeed a great player.

RIP

@Misadventure Well....shit.

@Ganymede said in When communication is too long to read ...:

As the parent of a ND person, I do remind them that others won't know their needs unless they speak up. Thankfully, they do. Sometimes, in inappropriate loud ways, but, hey, they are young, and they've got some time.

That's awesome, sincerely. But I am also the parent of a ND person who isn't that adept (as you say - they are young, they've got some time), and I know other ND people who are stuck by one or more of the reasons I mentioned before. So I still implore folks to approach the situation in a compassionate and constructive way instead of rushing to judgment.

@Hella I mean, the guy's a big deal in your hobby/interest. I think we can all get the excitement. Super stoked for you, and hope some of his star power rubs off and makes your stream more popular! ❤

(seriously, if I could upvote your comment more than once, I would. If one of my big stream influences came into my rare enough stream, I would be squeeing for hours)

Sent! Good luck to her!

@Derp he was so good, as was his opener Matt Bergman. Enjoyed it. I hadn't gone out to anything like that in aaaaages.

I'm sad to hear this. Catriona was always very kind and was an excellent storyteller and writer. She had good advice for larger scope projects like the establishment of the Dragon's Knell freehold and was great at invigorating the Dunlin family's larger RP. Very sorry for the loss.

@Ghost I wouldn't say I have nothing to show for it. Quite the contrary.

I have fantastic friends who I went on to meet IRL and who became an important part of the fabric of my life and who I wouldn't give up for anything. People who have had my back, enriched my world, and made life better for me just for being there.

There were times in my life when I was in such a black hole of misery that being able to jump on and talk nerd shit with MUSHers, or be involved in some story where I needed to know what happened next or where I was aware my character's absence would be detrimental to other people's...I mean...sometimes that gave me a reason to hold on and thus I am still here. Not saying that's universal for everyone but. No. I wouldn't say, at all, that it's brought nothing to my life.

And that's why, right alongside seeing the benefits of not doing it, I miss it, and am aware of what it's costing me to not do it.

Ambivalence for the win I guess.

Ted Lasso finale. I wasn't ready for that show to be over.

"Macha... you can't push these things and expect to keep your job at this level. It SUCKS. The way the economy is set up is REALLY bad. But you just CAN'T."

me: I can't what? Expect them to do the BARE minimum of what the law demands? Expect to be allowed to treat sugar crashes or be able to take insulin before I eat?

"You can't expect them to do the bare minimum, no.They won't.
And you will get fired."

on a higher note: Surgery went well.

@Macha

I won't be, but I know people I know are going to drag me into it.
