You have a big paper due on Monday? Don’t smoke until it’s done, because you won’t get more creative, you’ll just not do it.

I actually love writing while high. Everything flows so much more easily for me, and I make connections I might not otherwise. It’s great when I’m having trouble just getting words on the page. It does usually require an extra passover in editing though lol

Netflix’s content has gotten so much worse too. I don’t think there are many people left that have a subscription for more than one or two shows. And this seems to be a trend across all the different apps. Makes me glad I set up automatic torrenting for everything I’m interested in, and all it costs me is $5/month for Proton VPN

If snakes are her hair, does that mean she essentially has Hobbit feet?

That explains the sexy newborn plot device. Gross

I hate crowd work. Getting called on while on a night out is my worst nightmare

I don’t think Trump and his ilk are known for being attractive

This is actually the plot of the book IIRC. Pennywise can’t become the fears of adults because they’re too abstract, so he preys on children. Which is what leads to him being defeated by a child orgy

If you can’t handle the heat…

My group’s last one shot took five sessions lol

This is exactly the kind of challenge I love. How can Konsi do all the good she wants to do without damaging the church’s reputation? Does she need to become a bit of a revolutionary, change the status quo to improve the lives of those in need? If she does, the voices saying her church is interfering in the government will only get stronger, so it’s a fight for public opinion. And how far do her funds actually go when she’s working on the scale of the landed gentry? What kind of adventurer powers can help in a situation like this? Is the government secretly run by Mindflayers? There’s only one way to find out

Now consider, how would those insecurities look with elf ears? What about horns and a tail?

It’s honestly amazing. Art is so much a part of what we are, that it’s common and expected for someone to have written a coherent and insightful metaphor for their own life into their role in a fun make believe game.

But also, don’t talk to me, or my emotionally stunted, queer-coded, dissatisfied accountant, who quit his job to take up a life of crime, ever again!

Something about humans relates sex and danger. We like having them together

I’m #4. I don’t think anyone’s played hard enough to medal yet

Apple is probably the most common interpretation because a lot of languages use it as kind of a vague fruit term, and the Bible has been retranslated and reinterpreted roughly one million times. The French call potatoes apples

A pineapple leaf on its own could be any kind of long thin leaf though. It’s only on a pineapple that they’re obvious

Depends on where you live. We don’t have any oaks where I grew up. I couldn’t tell you what their leaves look like

Being able to reproduce it from memory is different from recognizing it though
