Dungeons and Dragons and OSHA inspectors, oh my!

Gulp…

I can’t believe it bothers me as much as it does, but…

WTF happened to the sword? It disappears after panel 1

I know just enough about war to know I never want to be within a hundred miles of a war zone.

I just went down a mini rabbit hole.

WW2: 10 million drafted, 16 million in the service. 400,000 casualties overall. I couldn’t find anything that split casualty figures by volunteer/drafted status.

Vietnam: 1.9 million conscripted. About 17,000 casualties among the drafted.

In percentages or raw numbers?

Latvian?

True. Nothing wrong with changing hobbies. I guess I feel slightly protective of my own hobby here.

En Taro Adun!

This seems sad to me. I never “grew out” of playing video games. My tastes have changed a bit, but I still enjoy playing to this day. To not play anything anymore would feel like losing something.

I don’t see what your relatives have to do with this, Doctor.

finding a few good ones shouldn’t be hard

Ha, good one.

I used to get so mad at my grandparents for calling them that. They were COMICS, and it was Very Important to call them by the proper name.

I like to think I’ve loosened up a bit since I was a kid.

“well, technically”

I think of it as a funhouse mirror. Everything online reflects something in the physical world, but there are a lot of distortions.

Heh. Anything on the internet invites comment. Who comments? People who feel strongly about the topic. Yep, it fits.

It can change, too.

When I was just out of college, I wanted kids “someday” (but was afraid of parenting badly).

Same when I met my wife, but she felt conflicted.

Fast forward a couple of years, she definitely doesn’t want to have kids.

I’m at peace with this path. I’d rather stay with my wife and have no kids than get divorced and try to find someone else who does want kids. My wife is amazing.

I heard about voat back in the day and thought “Oh, cool, like reddit without some of the overbearing crap from the admins”.

Then I went to voat and read a few posts.

Well, shit. I didn’t want to be on a nazi site. So much for that.

Also, you don’t need to uncompress plain text.

Content-Encoding: gzip would like a word. :P

Agreed on all points other than that nitpick

I used to. When I was a kid in school, I figured it was a holdover from “the racist times” back in the 1960s.

Then I saw how people treated Obama. Real eye opener.

Fantastic show. One of my favorites.
