What’s even better if you go to the trouble of responding to them using other outdated phonetic glyphs they don’t even try to understand it… Talk about double standards

This is really cool. Thank you for sharing it

Basically, those people were not going with you. I wouldn’t consider them your friends. Friends would at least tell you they are bailing so you don’t go

Any game, find a community, or start your own, the hard part is moderating and finding other like-minded people, but if you’re consistent over time, you’ll accrete a community with you.

Yeah we all play the same game, but over times it’s a digital bar, you know everybody

Meeting up with people, no phone. You arrange a place and a time, and you show up, if the other person isn’t there… You wait.

It was super important not to leave people hanging

That’s memorization in action

Find any place with people that you can frequent. It doesn’t even have to be in real life.

I have a discord gaming group, we do annual meetups globally, when someone died we did a whip round and a service… Community is wherever you spend your time

This joke is beyond gross

A - if I have time listen, look for surprises, if something doesn’t match my expectations or experience ask Socratic questions… Maybe I’ll learn something new. No need to cut them off, just steer the conversation toward interesting areas

Setting a bad example

It’s uncivilized for a office not to have spray guns!

Typically they are fixed installations. I’ve seen some online devices for a portable spray bottle.

It’s funny that the first two right now are 'stopped eating meat" and “stopped eating everything except meat”.

Yeah, probably some problem with the standard diet that gets improved with any change.

One of my friends aunt’s runs a new age hippy eye clinic…they insisted I get my near sighted ass over there and try it out. Wikipedia is not kind to eye improvement methods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_therapy

I checked with my opthalmologist and they said it couldn’t hurt… so I tried out the hippie approach to vision restoration.

It’s a weird mix of indian meditation, massage, resting, eye exercises, motion exercises, focus exercises… I’m very incredulous, but I wanted to give it a fair shake… so like a asshole I’m tracing the imagined shape of a intricate pattern with my chin and eyes closed… And other things. After about a month I had to reduce the strength of my glasses a bit… And another month reduce a bit more.

It could be placebo, it could be my nerdy lifestyle was holding me back and this program changed my environment… But I’ll take it.

Yeah, I think I read the paper. No negative effects were seen, but there was a ceiling to dose dependent benefits. It was roughly 30m a session, at 4+ times per week.
