I used the book for Scouts and the book for pirates a fair bit. Still do actually.

This is a step down from rage quitting. He wasn’t manic or anything. He was at the point where one would reload a video game…but couldn’t because there was a living opponent.

We were on turn 3 and things are now getting interesting when realized he was caught out and I had the field advantage.

Got into a funk and assumed he lost. Now his position wasn’t that great but who knows, the dice gods might have been with him. Or he could fight for a draw.
The term comes from pinball when one tilts the table.

I had to explain to a friend last night that “government shutdowns” never happen in Canada. If the govt fails a budget bill it’s considered a vote of no confidence and we go to elections. And general operations continue regardless.

He wants all the action and none of the risk. To bad the “war on drugs” was lost 20+ years ago 🤷‍♂️

This is happening to me too.
If you have any small creators you care about, @sirsic.bsky.social's video here has some excellent advice for how you can help them while YouTube (apparently) decides that AI slop is the future of content.

Trump doesn’t want them to survive. His best interest are independent farmers to crash & burn and then get bought by companies.
This is the American dream. Enjoy.
