The days are long but the years are short, it’s been said.

Not everyone operates in typical ways. Isn’t it also possible that someone started the telegram in hopes like-minded folks would join?

If a fire alarm is pulled, assume there’s a fire.

I am not religious. There are definite evils in this world though. This fuck is evil and unworthy of even another thought from any of our beautiful minds.

Though he does seem worthy of some very well-placed kicks from our beautiful feet…

Joking, of course! I know I wouldn’t want to get that close to a human cess pool - I’d rather go to a “Random Loud Noises That Are Scary To Me + Small Talk + All The Music That Grates On My Nerves” convention.

I’m with you as far as “humans deserve food that won’t make ‘em sick, regardless of circumstances” but expired food can often still be fine - you just are outside of the manufacturer’s guarantee that it should still be good.

When I gotta choose between “expired food” and “nothing”, I choose to give expired food the visual + sniff + small taste test before consuming.

I dunno what it was about this movie, but lil handofdumb absolutely loved it. We had a copied vhs of it and I watched it probably once a week back in the early 90s.

Maybe it was the ferrets.

I’m a fan of this method, lol.

When I can muster it, I treat small talk like a game rather than something to try and get out of. I have to listen for any clues that tell me how I can take the conversation from the tutorial stage to the next level. Once I think I’ve got a clue to go off, I can ask another question about the topic to see if it gets the other person talking about something deeper.

But it’s a tough game to play!

I was able to skim this while taking a break from something else and I’m very excited to give it a thorough read. Thanks for sharing this!

That’s a bummer that you get unwelcome judgements for thesesorts of things!

That happened to me a lot in school, as I had clothes I’d wear on specific days of the week and would also often eat the same stuff for lunch every day. Some folks got it (hey, friends!) and some were just nasty about it.

In my current workplace, while there are questions sometimes, I’m thankful there aren’t unwelcome judgements on both my clothes and my eating habits. Though, when someone asks or comments on my current wardrobe (which consists of multiples of the same black pants, black t shirts, and flannel shirts), I’ve started just saying “I’m in my final phase as an adult goth kid”, as that often turns the conversation around to talking about what sorts of non-typical clothes folks wore in their youth.

It’s a neat trick and I’m glad it fits for my clothes and my personality because it really helps take some of the conversational pressure off that sort of thing.

I’m rambling. I just wanted to let you know that I understand and also I hope that those unwelcome judgements happen to you less frequently as time goes on.

I’m really into this. I recently dropped out of a campaign and have been thinking about trying my hand at DMing. Reading through your post, it suddenly doesn’t feel so overwhelming lol.

Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I’m building up my resources for communicating and this is a fantastic resource :)

“IT’S OVERWHELMING!” - you fucking said it, Bill.

I’m a mutterer too! I was having a hard time in a crowded store the other day and began muttering to myself but in some sort of eastern-european accent and, i gotta say, it vastly improved my time at the store. People that got too close certainly didnt linger, lol.

My people.

Not me! But that’s only because I can’t roll for shit.

Looks real good, man!

Also, way to take a nice picture, man. Framed it real well.

That’s some cool artwork! I’m glad you found a good concentrate to vape :) they can be rough sometimes. I’ve never coughed harder than when I accidentally took a huge puff off a poor pen.

Disposable vapes got me (and I’m sure so many of us) through both good and bad times - they’ve been my go-to when I’m outta town and fit nicely in my suit pocket for weddings and shit, lol. Finding good stuff inside a disposable vape? Even better!

But I will say that, since swapping to a detachable battery, it’s been so much easier to find live resin, live rosin, and other good stuff in simple, battery-less cartridges. I haven’t busted into filling my own cartridges yet but that seems like the next logical step in stonerdom, lol.

Could be worth looking into for yourself, if you become a big ol’ vape dawg! Or even if you don’t - some of the battery options out there just seem awesome. I’ve got one that the cartridge like, fits partially inside of? So it’s pretty overall small and plenty discreet, lol.

Anyhoo, I’m rambling. Thanks for sharing, dude!

I appreciate the recs, friend :) Nissa Familia and Push Pull are next on my list!

Just saw your updated pic - lookin’ real good!

And I found the ghost! You’ve got a sweet glassware shelf going :)
