Yeah, I used google for the street view. It’s usually a lot more crowded than pictured, and I’ve never seen those steel barriers put up in real life.
So it’s just a street with like 3000 tourists doing their thing and drivers who thought they’d get curbside parking stuck for 30-40 minutes trying to get through.
Very specific, but driving through Pike Place in Seattle. It’s technically a road, but it’ll take you half an hour to go two blocks.
U got bugs in ur poop.
depending on the size of the secret, it helps to have people download it ahead of time.
Also, it acts as a time stamp proving that you knew the secret at a certain time if that’s useful.
Encrypt secret. Post it publicly. Configure a web server to email the private key to any number of addresses if you don’t log in every week.
I understand the attitude of “if you want a curated stream of music or a free app, you need to accept that you are giving up your privacy to get that.” Like, pay for the app or buy the music and curate it yourself as an alternative. Just like people have done for generations.
But we’re talking about a thing that just four years ago required only a paper ticket that could be purchased with cash suddenly requiring an app. The product didn’t change in any way, it just requires an app now. I think everyone should be angry about that.
Right. I can also just hang out in the park and watch little league.
You literally cannot attend a baseball game without installing the Ticketmaster app on a smartphone. Full stop. There are no alternatives.
Maybe a small example, but simply avoiding this stuff is becoming difficult.
Sadly, a lot of it comes down to financial well-being.
Owning and controlling stuff costs more. If not money, then time.
Grapefruit party had first shift
What was the prompt?
If he was, he made no effort to tell me what that was, so that’s on him.
2023
Not really? It was his first time DMing. He was doing a homebrew story. Actually Foundry, not DnD. It was my first time playing and I was really struggling with it. I wasn’t a fan of where the party was taking it and each session was basically wandering aimlessly through a cave and repeating my only attack (sling a rock) at whatever monsters we found. I let him know that I wasn’t enjoying it and there wasn’t a lot for my character to do and he just linked me to the rules website.
I asked for advice on Lemmy, and they suggested I ask for like a 15 minute out of character period at the start of next session to express what our goals were in the game. That was scheduled for the session that I ultimately bailed on.
I got a long string of texts the next morning about how I don’t respect him and never respected him and a lot of other shit. I dunno.
Last year.
I canceled on the biweekly DnD session because it was scheduled for Halloween and I had plans. Told him a little last minute (day before when I realized).
Dude torpedoed our 10 year friendship over that.
A positive pregnancy test.
Oh also I got an oxygen concentrator from the wholesale Goodwill where everything is sold by the pound. Paid $13 for a $800 medical device.
I use it to get my fireplace going. Works like a charm.
A failed 3D print. Some Pokémon missing a leg.
People on the sidelines got their faces melted off by a particularly tart vinegar sauce.
