Having a scene where you agree to help someone out, and you do help them out, and they help you out, and everyone feels all grateful and happy.

I don't know a whole lot about Faraday, but from what I do, I wish she'd punch ME in the face.

@macha Here is his ridiculous Akita butt

(and his long-suffering big sister)

When I’m dreading dealing with a situation that might cause ooc ramifications for my faction and will no doubt bring someone’s ire down upon my head no matter what decision I make...and then the player in question gets banned.

I know it’s selfish but such a relief!

Here's my dude worrying because I laughed too hard.

Playing a character with no responsibilties.

Maybe they, like me, were taken aback that a temporary embargo on an overdone character concept was taken as WE HATE DISABLED PEOPLE!

Because let's be honest, the number of people who can actually play a disability respectfully and realistically is MUCH lower than those who use it as, as @Ghost noted, a schtick.

A really really satisfying response to an action.

It's just cool to see cool things happen to cool people.

@L-B-Heuschkel I'm sorry. I went through something similar, though it was a grandparent. Anyone else I would have gone nuclear on but it's so much harder with family, even if they make you miserable.

I don't like the implication that I'm an idiot. Even if it wasn't directed at me. And it shouldn't have been directed at anyone.

@Kestrel Cut them loose. It's hard and it sucks at first but it's so worth it.

I mean yes, we are using TS and/or mini-golf but to me it's not about WHAT is being done, it's about a power imbalance. If I see an NPC screwing a PC I'm not thinking, "Wow, what a slut!" I'm thinking, how does this affect the game? Does this close certain doors to certain people? Is this favoritism? Is it going to become favoritism?

I'm cool with sex and/or romance. Go forth, do what you love. Get yourself a PC, TS 24/7, I do not mind. But if I see it affecting the game at large in a negative way I'm gonna nope on out of there.

Stuff You Missed In History Class - Two girls talk about fascinating historical shit that you probably didn't know about
Trashy Divorces - Two girls talk about the trashy divorces of famous people
Lore - A podcast of mysterious tales. I enjoyed it more once I realized that it was about telling a good story, and not facts.

And for your class, Story Pirates: Creative writing submitted by children is brought to life a la radio play by a comedy troop in NYC. Surprisingly enjoyable for adults as well.

@Pyrephox My cynical suspicion is wall to wall fairy sex.

After a long day of trying to be productive in my career and also trying to teach first grade to a first grader (after having made a conscious decision earlier in life to never ever be a teacher) and also trying to be a passable mom to said first grader, I:

Knit a lot
Listen to podcasts a lot

Sadly, RP has become a chore.
