Can’t wait to be able to pee on that grave. It’ll be like a pilgrimage.

Didn’t Hitler not even listen to his generals? Isn’t that even a knock against the idea of going back in time to assassinate Hitler, specifically because of how bad he was mucking up the war effort? If someone were to go back and kill Hitler, that could actually change the direction of the war in that somebody more competent might’ve directed the war effort better than Hitler. So in a weird way, Hitler might be the least worst possible option.

I don't necessarily think it's been taken too far, but there doesn't seem to be the same amount of attention to toxic femininity as there is to the masculine equivalent, even just calling it out will get you attacked or downvoted into oblivion sometimes. I think there are toxic women out there who will take advantage of men who themselves are trying to not be toxic, who are trying to evolve past some of those toxic societal expectations. These women are expecting toxic behavior, not getting it, so then they fill the perceived power vacuum and impose their own toxic behaviors, seeing a lack of male domination as a sign of weakness. It almost creates the expectation that toxic male behaviors are normal, but it's being reinforced by the opposite sex rather than other men. Then when it's called it out, it's perceived as, "Men have no right to call out women on that, they need to worry about themselves." And I get that it gets really close to incel territory to start blaming women for men's problems, but it definitely feels like there's a gender-imbalance with regards to who is "allowed" to call out who.

And that last 1/3rd person is the one actually spewing it.

As a guy, yes, I would probably risk an office affair, but I’m also an idiot who craves physical affection and makes shitty relationship decisions, so my bar is pretty low. I think in your situation with medical licenses and such on the line though, I think it gets into a bit more serious territory (this already on top of the marriage/kids aspect). I think workplace flirtation though is just whatever if it stays that, you can maybe try referring to them as your “work-husband” and try seeing how comfortable they feel in that “role” or if they don’t really push it past that.

I actually have a lady at my work like that as well who I’ve thought there’s something there occasionally, we’d talk about risqué things and such, she’d sometimes put her hand on me when laughing at some dumb joke I made, but I recognize it’s way too easy as a guy to misinterpret casual physical contact as being something more than what it is. So I just pretend like nothing happened out of fear of misinterpreting something that isn’t there because I don’t want to spoil a good coworker friendship if I’m wrong. But I’d bone the shit out of her if given the chance.

Preach, brother… but try to keep it down though.

The idea of a political candidate attending church to then get people to vote, either directly there at the church if it’s a polling place, or somewhere relatively close by. I just don’t know that I like the idea of politics in general being brought near Churches.

Be a sweet place to bring a date out to… because of the implication.

I support Harris, but that doesn’t really seem like it should be legal. Somehow I doubt anybody will do anything about it though.

I noticed this Summer I started transitioning my morning walks to pre-sunrise hours to try to escape the heat (since even mornings in Ohio are getting to be hot). Since global warming (or climate change in general) is happening and there's apparently nothing to be done to fix it in our lifetimes, it made me wonder if our overall society might move towards more nocturnal working hours instead of the standard 9–5, just to escape overheating during the day?

There's probably no incentive currently, since workers aren't dropping like flies yet, but I could see it coming into play as global warming gets worse over time and it causes legitimate production issues. Probably some jobs wouldn't have the option, but most I think would be able to benefit from it. Does this sound like something realistic, or are we cursed to have to endure extreme temperatures because we've always worked in the daytime and we can't/won't change now?

Gloss overtop Matte Coating? (self.tabletopminis)
submitted 1 month ago by paddirn to c/tabletopminis
 

I'm wrapping up a project and I had an idea to mix matte with glossy elements. I've got a spray can of Testors Spray Dullcote and then was wanting to paint the glossy elements by hand with a different gloss coating/finish. How well would those interact with each other? I'd obviously let the matte finish dry first, but would the matte "cancel" out the glossy effect or does it have some other interactions that basically make it not worth pursuing?

Whether it's a sense of superiority or just to be funny or asinine or out of a genuine need to spread the truth, people online generally try to be contrarian as often as possible because it gives them some sort of personal gratification or a sense that they're correcting something wrong in the universe.

I settled on using Zotero (meant for academia, but whatever, it does what I need) for cataloguing/organizing my ttrpg pdf hoard and I'm trying to set up some top-level tags to make it a bit easier to sift through what I'm looking for. One set of tags will be genre tags (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc), with another level below that for sub-genre (cyberpunk, supernatural, low fantasy, post-apocalyptic, etc).

Another set of top-level tags will focus on the actual types of books/products one might see for an RPG. These are just all the terms I've come across before, setup in a hierarchy that makes sense to me, though sometimes terms aren't used consistently across different RPG lines. Since some products can straddle multiple genres/categories, I'm hoping tags will help make it easier to sort through everything. Does this set of categories/sub-categories make sense? I'm still at the early stages of just importing everything into a library, so I'm sure there's categories I've not thought of or considered.

  • Core Rulebook (books required to play)
    • Player Handbook (this might straddle the line between core and supplement)
  • Supplement (books that expand the rules/setting)
    • Sourcebook
    • Bestiary
    • Splatbook
    • Adventure/Scenario/Module
      • Campaign
    • Setting
  • Accessory (mostly non-book related items)
    • Cards
    • Maps
    • Fiction
    • Music/Audio
    • Screens
    • Sheets
      • Character sheet
      • Rules/Cheat sheet
      • Misc sheet
  • Resource (more for general books on RPGs, system-agnostic)
    • GM aid
    • Player aid
    • Educational
    • Tables
