Hmm...that's different. Usually people say that I "might be on something".He might be on to something ^^^Maybe that's because you're a cat and they think you are going to eat them.Squirrels are rather skittish. Take it from a cat who goes around taking pictures of wild critters.dog/cat/rat stuffRats with fluffy tails and prettier fur? So, squirrels?
Well that too.

And I just noticed that I used both "you're" and "you are" in one sentence, but I'm not sure why.
I'm also unsure as to why I'm nekkid.
You also forgot to put cloths on.

Depression and anxiety are a bit like radiation. There's always a little bit in the background, but not enough to be a problem. Then, every once in a while, you get a free trip to Chernobyl.
I just saw that one on facebook today.

There's a young faculty member at our campus who has the sweetest, sunniest personality. She's like a cocker spaniel puppy in human form.
She is so unrelentingly positive, we could be in the midst of a 7.0 earthquake, the building could be on fire and the parent of one of the kids could have just had a heart attack in the lobby, ALL AT ONCE, and if someone were to ask her in that moment how she was doing, she would simply cock her head to one side, pause, say "It's going to be okaaaaaay..." and then methodically set out to make that statement true. Because it's what she does.

I don't get heroics. Who's going to be paying for your hospital bills if you get hurt?
Its not really something I was concerned about at the time. I think when I do something dumb like that it comes from a combination of anger and empathy I don't want someone to have to go through garbage like that and If I can help its worth the risk. course I also have a small bit of a martyr streak in me too. To be really honest to I'm good at reading people and I think about it and I can kind of say that I was reasonably sure the other person was going to back down. well at least for my second example the first one Was just kind of a crazy moment.

It is logical, sure, but asking the question itself goes against everything the heroic ideal stand for, does it not?

Yes, except nowhere near as evil, as they are basically the devil.
Squirrels secretly rule the world!
As I said, basically the devil.

Well I can say most of if not all the dumb things I've done were emotional decision not logic ones so take that as you will.

Not really against my heroic ideal. It’s a valid question. The thing is, in the moment, it uuuuuuusually doesn’t matter. I can’t say if I would be a hero or not, but I can say that it’s very important that people are.
That said, people who are too aggressively action prone can make problems by making bad calls. Being a hero is important. Being a stupid a hero is likely to cause more problems for others. It’s one reason that heroics are often discouraged by law enforcement.
But something like what Mr. Cumberbatch did was important because it prevented a dude from sustaining serious injuries. He STOPPED the hospital bills at all by being willing to risk himself.
He also projected an air of authority and worked to descalate the situation by using words while defending himself. These are actually super important, as well. That and, you know, having basic personal competency at self defense.
So it was dangerous and a risk, but neither foolish or stupid. And heroism needs to be neither foolish or stupid. So it’s a balance.
Why isnt magic real? It should be. It is like science but with less math b$+&@$@!!As renowned British sci-fi writer Cheryl Tunt once said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Young collies are basically overgrown squirrels, with prettier fur and eyes and all the CE tendencies.
Right now I'm arguing with one about the disposition of the sliding glass door in the kitchen while I make my coffee.
(When they become senior citizens, they are no longer squirrels, or whatever they are in-between. They're stegosaurii.)

Yes you do. Especially when they are stays mating in the backyard while you are trying to sleep.you never have to tell a cat to shut up.Nonsense. Dogs are superior in every way.Not that you need reminding, but cats are just plain better than dogs (evidenced here)
*Cowers in anticipation of angry dog-lovers, then straightens up*
A collection of photos we took of our childhood cat, more recently brought to the Almighty Internet for all to see. Wow, I don't like old pictures of myself looking back on them.
I sprinkle catnip and leave cat porn out just for that. Makes things go a lot faster.

Re kitties and doggos.
Love both. Different critters with different personalities, and a very different instinctive disposition (TL said it best in his post). Miss not having my own :(
Would be nice, to at least have someone who would like to smuggle up to me in bed, for once…Re Me…
Still down.
Gotten over the firing and started looking for a new job. Haven't really helped my depression. Hate my summer depressions, luckily they are somewhat rare.Re Freeholds anime choices.
I guess that means no turtle - Freehold anime night. Tend to fairly like deconstruction shows ^^ (Heck even most of those you've mentioned).
Consider myself a "Anime cretin", meaning that I adore all the lowbrow stuff that would make your curl your toes if shown in a traditional movie - excessive violence, plentiful T&A, extremely harmful social behaviour and utterly deplorable "heroes".
I don't watch anime but even if I did I wouldn't watch lowbrow stuff. There's enough happening in the world that you don't have to. And well that's nice to be told that cats like being in control, because yeah I definitely have leanings in that direction.
I speculate it may be the reason why I chose to GM and not play. I find that the player side of me just isn't present anymore. There's no drive to adventure, just the knowledge that I'm better off not playing due to vastly different GM/player expectations.
It probably isn't good for me in the long run (since it decreases my player empathy) and possibly could lead me to burning out in the long run. But I suppose I'll face that day when I get there.

Not to be confused with Random Thot Time. That's very different.

If they were me they would've made two aliases to convey that point.
Though I have to admit, the quoting of Archer made me do a double check to make sure it wasn't me.
Besides, I'm not an NBA executive, I don't have the time to create 15 burner accounts. :-)

Huzzah! You are unlikely to see this, but yay!
Crashing now. I watched episodes 2 and 3 of American Gods while I was working. Ian McShane is the perfect Wednesday. But I have to teach tomorrow, and I am going to be sooooo tired.
However unlikely it is, I would greatly like to see this show, now...

I like the ideas presented in Playtest blogpost about spells. Some things I wanted to introduce myself, like heightened spells with increased effects instead of having to learn long chains for various versions of the same spell over and over.
Or, you know, power points and augmentation, just sayin’...

Little Vidmaster? We'll give you wishes if you can hear us! We can make you fly and get candy.
Oh, gods. Not Far Cry 5 references! Everyone is loving it: The kids, Shiro, Shiro's son, NobodysWife.
It holds 0 appeal to me.
I try to play it a bit just to make a little progress so when people want me to play with them I can, but I consider it the most unfun game I've been stuck playing in quite a while.
I just don't like first-person shooters. Never have. Never will.
Yeah. I enjoyed Turok, once, but have never really gotten much into them. I really want to play Perfect Dark (my wife and brother-in-law were big fans, once), but I've just never had the opportunity.

I think that applying there might cause some of my friends to attack me. They work in IT at a local hospital and have had plenty of stories of trouble with EPIC. Usually just after an update screwed things up, which isn't unusual for software, but still. When you hear about how an entire hospital full of doctors and nurses can't access any patient files or order tests or whatever because the new update has royally screwed the pooch you have to wonder about the company that did that.Epic Systems is based in Verona, I'm pretty sure with your resume you'd get a call back almost instantly.
Especially if you put "can shave an angry bear with a skid loader" on your resume.
We have issues with EPIC as well. It's a pile of dung, but in the medical software world, it's one of the best there is for what it does. It's a really sad state of affairs - it's utter crap, and yet everything else is somehow worse.
Also...I probably know which hospital you are talking about, and I know a couple people there as well (assuming I'm guessing the right hospital). One of my players works there, and I know a guy in IT named Eric W. Curious if it's someone you know.
Lemons are much more popular than limes, yet limes are less sour. Lemon scented products are everywhere, but no lime scented ones. Lemonade stands are popular summertime projects for children, but have you ever seen a limeade stand? Limes are the Luigi of the fruit world.
But... limes are smaller, bitter, and less awesome... that doesn't describe Luigi at all!
