I’m frustrated with all of my friends and acquaintances who claimed they’d love to play D&D some day, yet can never seem to find a group to join.
I’m a DM and I have a brand new campaign starting tomorrow. I’ve been putting out announcement for almost two months now, and those same people are making excuses or ghosting me.
I have the game location, the maps, the miniatures, spare books & dice, and I’m rather adept at teaching new people. I’m just short on people who actually want to play.
We definitely need the difficult button choice meme here.
Turn your back on a colleague?
Or…
Vote for the self described “Black Nazi?”
It’s not just abortion. Republicans are openly entertaining the idea of jailing women for having miscarriages which is a natural bodily function that happens sometimes.
Imagine if Republicans wanted to lock you up in prison for a bodily function you have no control over, you’d get angry too.
“YouTube does now allow content containing conspiratorial claims that individuals or groups are evil, corrupt, or malicious based on their protected group status.”
Oh yes they absolutely do allow it. Satanism is a protected religion like any other, and YouTube is full of hate videos. Reporting them accomplishes nothing.
The irony is that Trump forced Swift to speak up after the fake AI endorsement. Swift would have remained publicly neutral.
Of course it’s a Republican, its almost always a Republican. It’s the crime party, after all.
A Republican.
I’m shocked, shocked!
…well not that shocked.
I don’t have anything specific, but generally speaking those who idolize war have never seen the horrors of war. Speaking with veterans who have actually seen real combat is a good place to start.
Considering the fact that corporations make up about 70% +/- of all the solution and climate destruction, and the fact that politicians are bribed by said corporations to ignore the problem, there’s little we can actually do about it except voting.
That’s all well and good, but let’s hope we see the fruits of this swing at the ballot box.
I was invited to go, but I’m rather busy with other things.
You can’t unify with people who want to kill you.
CNN — A Virginia man has been charged with making death threats against Vice President Kamala Harris and appeared in federal court on Monday.
According to court records, Frank Lucio Carillo made several threats against Harris, President Joe Biden, FBI Director Christopher Wray, several Arizona officials, and others on the right-wing social media platform Gettr.
In response to a subpoena, the FBI found 4,359 posts from Carillo “targeting various public officials,” including Harris.
In several posts, Carillo allegedly threatened to cut out Harris’ eyes and described various ways he wanted to kill the vice president, court records say.
“I will cut your eyes out,” Carillo allegedly wrote in one expletive-laden rant where he called Harris a “b*tch” and said he hoped she would “suffer a slow agonizing death.”
A number of similar posts are cited in court records, with graphic and detailed threats against the vice president as well as others, including one Islamophobic post in 2023 when he wrote that people should “go out with your guns and kill all Muslims.”
When FBI agents first arrived at Carillo’s house over the social media posts, Carillo asked if they were there “about the online stuff,” and said, “I posted it.” Carrillo, appearing to talk to himself, also said, “I guess I’m gonna need a lawyer,” according to court documents.
Federal agents retrieved two firearms from his home, including a pistol he bought in 2023 and a rifle purchased this year.
A hearing to determine whether Carillo will remain behind bars while awaiting a resolution in his case has been set for Thursday.
CNN is reaching out to an attorney for Carillo for comment.

Enlisting in the military.
I was an insufferable piece of shit back in the day, constantly self sabotaging and blaming everyone else for the problems I caused. I was on the verge of homelessness due to my own stubbornness and bad attitude.
The military gave me the swift kick in the ass that I desperately needed. Now I can self reflect and recognize when the problem is me, and I can admit when I’m wrong and course correct.
Military isn’t for everyone, but for me it was exactly what I needed. I learned a ton of life skills and healthy coping mechanisms that my parents never taught me.
Job: Welder
Customer: “Hey I need a welder to fix the railing at my business.”
Me: “OK, I can start work after you close for the day.”
Customer: “Oh no, I’m not staying late. I need you to fix it during business hours.”
Me: “OK then, it’s dangerous work so I’ll need to rope off the area and erect screens to protect the general population from weld flash and grinder sparks.”
Customer: “Oh no, this walkway needs to stay open for customers during business hours.”
Me: “Again, this is dangerous work. Somebody is going to get hurt if they’re permitted to walk through the work area.”
Customer: “I don’t know why you’re being so difficult, just zap zap and you’re done.”
Me: “No, it’s going to take a lot of work. The railing is rusted through so entire sections need to be replaced. It also needs to be level, up to code, cleaned for safety reasons, support the weight of an average adult human, and painted to prevent corrosion. We’re talking multiple days of work and it’s not cheap.”
Customer: “Repairs are not in the budget, but I can spread the word and tell all my friends about you. I have almost two hundred followers on Facebook.”
Me: (silently gets up and walks away)
Customer: “Look at that, another lazy Millennial who doesn’t want to work. Typical. No wonder this nation is going down the crapper.”
Have a seat on the couch and tell us how you really feel.
Kamala is as popular as wet toilet paper. Nobody likes her. Every time she speaks in public, her ratings go down.
He’s done more for the Palestinian community than anybody.
Whoops. Let me fix that typo for you:
He’s done more to the Palestinian community than anybody.
It’s the death threats, hate posts, violent rhetoric, and posing misinformation & disinformation. Simply put, conservatives violate social media ToS’ far more often than liberals.
