I had the same thought for a while, then I started playing dnd and subsequently DMing. Now any extra mental bandwidth I did have goes to solving open-ended people problems my players give me while we’re playing.

Side benefit is I’ve felt more empathetic and patient with people since starting because I have to constantly put myself in a character’s head when we’re role-playing. I imagine that makes one seem more personable and cool to be around possibly helping with the unemployment too

Dnd sessions, always fun to have props

Hey friend I’m a cobbler that does those kind of lifts all the time. I use a contact cement that is removed with acetone but acetone along with isopropyl alcohol can melt the material that some soles are made from so be careful. Aside from that practicing your moonwalk on the pavement outside with them on will help plenty with the stickiness if it’s just the adhesive on there that’s the problem

Trunks look fine but the bush might not be, weird perspective mostly

Tiefling Astorion would have put people not familiar with forgotten realms too on edge talking to the refugees. Astarion’s capriciousness would have made people think that was a tiefling thing not an Astarion thing

The right trip will give you all the inspiration you need but it feels like it gave you a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle instead of a cogent answer

Looks like your on the wrong side of the riiiiveerrrrrr

Until Youtube no longer loads period with an ad blocker people will still use them and even then people will find back doors to prevent the firehose of ads Google wants to subject you to. They wanted a monopoly and now they are big mad they have to deal with the consequences of that decision

And here I thought it meant quirky, fuck

Not a super long time but I conflated apocryphal with like sagely or scholarly

Yes, constantly. It’s perfectly harmless if thats what your trying to get at

They may be too fascinated to strip for you though

I’ll push back a little on that first point and be a little semantic. If you create something it is beautiful inherently. You took a thought and made it manifest, that is beauty

I only check in on my cities subreddit for local news otherwise I’ve totally dropped it. I miss the community and the depth of content on what reddit used to be but Lemmy is growing fast and has kept many of the same internet jokes so I’m content

Completely nonsensical and screws everyone involved.

Student loans are supposed to be an investment the government takes in its population. If it works properly then the money that the government spent on the students tuition is both paid back monetarily by the student as well as societally because now you have an educated citizen providing ever increasing tax revenue. If you make student loans illegal you not only make it impossible for students to educate themselves beyond public school you destroy the entire post secondary school industry now that so few can afford to educate themselves.

What needs to happen is cutting out all the middleman bullshit and just making post secondary education free with your taxes, at least a couple years worth. If someone wants to be a doctor or a lawyer or someone who needs to have more than a couple years worth then sure that can be on their dime. Otherwise those first 4 years are just unnecessarily saddling people with mountains of debt that there is no guarantee they can pay back after they are done

It’s not so simple I think. Anti-intellectualism is a symptom of the greater human condition. Part of it is the scapegoat aspect. If something has a name then it’s easy to point a finger at it, easy to blame the person who named it. Part of it is envy, people trying to tear down those who they feel are superior to them. Part of it is propaganda, if not caused by certainly exacerbated by.

Like many things in life it’s complicated.
