Things like this are always fascinating to look at later. Because you can bet DAMN SURE that if you heard any man (doctor or not) say “Oh yeah, you’re sick. You gotta have sex for it to get better” and it ONLY affects women - that’s a man trying to fuck you.

Remember, everything is food if you’re brave enough, and everything is edible if you don’t need to survive it.

These two things together have been the boon and curse of explorers forever.

It’s almost 4am and I’m not responsible for how my brain works at these hours.

I feel like people are going to yell at you for a lot of reasons. HOWEVER - I won’t. But go do a full play of MGS V. I’m revisiting it this year and remembering why I frickin loved it.

I didn't even know you played games, I thought you just hung around with us for the ambiance.

Welcome I guess, the gamer community is pretty cool.

I'm gonna get a bit more into it tonight I think.. I DO get a lot of reminders that I no longer have the reflexes and coordination of 10 yr old me playing Super Metroid.

Working in a field with a lot of different cultures leads to a lot of morning greetings for me.

“Grand rising”
“Top of the top”
“Buenos Dias!”

Are all just as common as a good morning. Spice up your choices! Throw out a grand rising to your coworkers! ☀️👋

Hah!! Yeah around 3:30am my time is mid morning and a definite warning flag. 😂😉

Awww good luck!! I’m going back to a series from last year because book 10 is out and reforming my mind to that world’s magic concepts and characters is taking some effort.

Like how many author’s worth of systems and relationships are buried in my head?! Hundreds and hundreds is HEFTY.

A dragon with his hoard. All is as it should be.

If you just haul off and hit someone doing it, there would be NO witnesses, ever. Not a soul would have seen anything.
