30 was the beginning of my youth. I became more emotionaly mature, physicaly mature, I had a decade of adult experiences to reference. I wasn’t the new kid, I was the functional adult. I became more me in my 30’s. I really enjoyed the good parts. Then I turned 40… I’ll let you know how that goes

Dwarf Fortress, obviously.

Yes, but we call it a bar. Same thing, just less tea or coffee

The American empire is failing on all fronts. Sad.

I once modded Skyrim to make hunger, thirst, sleep, wounds, infections, and weather as realistic as possible. Then, from nothing, set out to go dungeon diving. My guy had heard there were untold riches, and being dirt poor, it was going to be his ticket out of squalor. The amount of preperation that was needed took days. I had to build a small camp outside the entrance, catch kill and prepare foods that wouldn’t spoil. Make water skins to store enough water. I may be down there for weeks! Finally ready to go in, I have no idea what to expect, only rumors. It’s very dark (mod), but I made torches. Surprise Frost Troll. Dead. Bethesda update corrupted my modded save, but that’s ok, just another death of no one special in the frozen lands.

Thanks, I had hope for a few seconds.

It was a 9kg metal necklace. My sympathy is having difficulty rising to the occasion.

Dang, I didn’t see that.

Where are the q-anon’s with their deep state pedo politician ring conspiracies now?

We invented magic force fields that attract certain metals. The power was always in the universe; we just had to discover and learn how to harness it. We can see inside your mind with it. But if you don’t do exactly as I say, it can kill you. So, are you absolutely sure you don’t have anything, and I mean anything, that is metal?

I once experienced this firsthand. The postdoc kept coming by, trying to find out how we were messing up something he had written a paper on. Eventually, he tried to reproduce it himself. No one could reproduce it, not even him.

They were based off of William Shatner’s TekWar series of books. My uncle gave me a few and I tried reading them. Just imagine Tek Jannsen, but without any of the humor.

Wife does this for her highschool students. They never notice that their papers always mention a unicorn. They still can’t figure why they always get caught. Neigh 🦄

In case the doctor told you not to lift anything heavy

Maybe with some apricot jelly

It’s not about being right, it’s about winning power.

Thank you for being on the front lines of the click bait war.

The idiots are taking over 🎶

I hate that I got that reference so easily

The name of that barista was Satan.
