Tabletop RPG storytime:

Milui is an orc lady abandoned at birth. Nobody except her parents would know why she was abandoned, but nowadays at a height of seven feet and shoulders broader even most orc males, it might have been because she's a freak.
(1/9)

Still, she was found by two wonderful elves who raised her as their own as best as they could. She had trouble fitting in at the often elitist Elven Society, but she did her best to make up for her muscular build by exploring typically feminine hobbies.
(2/9)

In particular she learned to create make-up herself, and was always trying to learn about how to make new shades, and new ways to make and use it. She decided to explore the world and expand her knowledge of cosmetology beyond the Elven guilds' knowledge.
(3/9)

In that process she befriended a group of adventurers with which she joined forces. On their travels, they found a campsite ravaged and abandoned. As they tried to figure out what had happened, the Cause sprang upon them.
(4/9)

A youngling green dragon. Not fully grown, but more than powerful enough to defeat a group of seasoned adventurers. Milui saw it about to attack her friends, channeling her bottled up anger into an explosive force of strength, and hacked into the beast with her sword.
(5/9)

We're not done.

Don't worry it only starts with a poll but if you have a degree in nigga theory, you probably imagine this is because "the pussy game ridiculous"

Words are not actions.
But boy is that a weird shift, huh?

Important though and why I'm really posting this.
This is the first time I've seen this one.

The first reason that wasn't a nullification or "I had a bad day"

My grandparents were very poor. My dad was ashamed & created dumb tension about it. My grandma though always took me aside to give me a chocolate orange after Xmas gifts were unwrapped; she’d make me crack it and eat a slice before going back to Xmas fun.

Did their poverty matter? No! Everything was out of love. My grandpa made us things from his workshop. One year he said, “We try” and 14 yo me said laughing “I know”. Gramps gave me a 1 arm hug & slapped my back with a grin. That did not go over well with dad.

He chewed me out for making them know I knew or something gay like that. My grandparents didn’t have hot water. They knew I knew. They were why I tried hard at college. My grandma came to my campus only once and gave me the “ya done gud, anon” line when she left.

Once I graduated & had a job, I got a case of Sam Adams for Xmas day with my grandpa because I wanted to drink with him when he went out for his Xmas cigar. My treat. I felt like an adult not just his grandson. We talked for an hour in his workshop with the space heater on.

Close my eyes: I can see the Adrienne Barbeau poster, the 10 hand planes on the wall & cigar boxes holding screws, nuts & nails. We started real talks then; he told me his war stories & life before grandma. We had more in common than I thought. I later named a son after him

1/ I was once in a position to find out from employees working in a regulatory agency which demographic groups cheat and lie the most in running their small businesses. These regulators (split pretty evenly between whites and non-whites) almost unanimously agreed that:

2/ Male business owners were more likely to engage in untruthful or dishonest behavior than female business owners.

Politically-liberal whites cheated a good deal less than blacks and conservative whites (who cheated at about the same rate).

3/ How did they know the political orientation of the owner? They told me that it was because certain areas in their jurisdiction were overwhelmingly liberal, and certain others were overwhelmingly conservative. They assumed political orientation based upon the business location.

4/ But everyone agreed that immigrant business owners were worse than Americans — much worse — and that:

Middle Easterners were usually untruthful.

But not as much as Chinese business owners.

And no one — and all of them made a big point of this — lied like the Indians.

5/ They told me that when they dealt with immigrant Indian businesses they safely operated under the assumption that there would be lying, falsifying, and cheating of all kinds. This was because none of them had ever run into an Indian business owner who didn't do these things.

2H Pluto people do you have a fear of poverty?

Do you have a fear of wealth, in some way?

What are your experiences with both? Your opinions?

This is a daunting placement but because it’s not a romance house or an angle it gets overlooked.

There’s usually a real deep rooted trauma associated w not having what you need.

Sometimes the 2H Pluto person is the only one with any financial stability and they can be very stingy with what they have because they’re so afraid to lose it.

The thing is tho, once they’ve gone through an evolutionary period (usually going from poor to stable to rich or skipping stable altogether

It’s very rare that they go back. They never lack again.

But the mindset of being without is sooo deeply imprinted into their minds that they don’t want to let go to anything they acquire. This backfires so.

Your mind has to evolve in the same way that your material circumstances have. Otherwise you never reach full potential—

I've also noticed that it's often that cheating is what women do when they don't want a divorce but, for a ridiculous number of reasons (most of which are probably ad hoc rationals) are upset.

>Why did you cheat?
>"I don't want to feel equal I want to feel special and I want dick."

>Don't you have a dick?
>"Oh he's so wonderful, so sweet, so kind. He is the greatest man in the world...but, I'm bored."

Welcome to the void.

And so the older study that concluded that "Women cheat because they love their husbands" is only getting more "correct".

This is not a world I was made for.

Ten years.
That's it.

Dogg Comms Thread

Finally starting a thread after noticing all the strange Dog Comms

1)

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT Y'SHUA, JESUS.

He is a RABBI. He came to the JEWS. He did not start another RELIGION. He freed the Jews from the dogma of the Pharisees. He told us all what to do.

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind," before also paraphrasing a second passage; "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

Israel is the result of the Tsaddikim. The souls of the Jews who perished in the Holocaust. WE MUST STAND WITH ISRAEL.

There was no "christmas star". The entirety of the NT was written to adhere to the prophesies of the Torah. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD OPEN YOUR EYES.

Y'shua does not have to be Mashiach! He is who he is, through eternity. He never once proclaimed himself as Mashiach. During his lifetime, Jesus himself didn't call himself God.

✨✨Dear Patriots✨✨

I love you all. ♥️ So it pains me deeply to tell you, I must be going. Someone must do this, for all of Humanity. I took the job before I knew what it truly meant. But accepted it once I knew what it meant.

Cardano and Elrond communites have always been on friendly terms and there is plenty of space for both to coexist.

I want to address some inaccuracies in @matiwinnetou's recent post.

👇Read the thread👇

1. The governance model on Elrond will be launched during 2021 Q2, and the ethos and spirit is the same as Cardano. To give governance power to the token holders.

2. Three years of development and plenty of external audits such as Trial of bits, hackers invited to break the network during BoN and 1400 validators strees testing for an extended period of time ensures that the network is secure.

3. Many Blockchains are only one company. Elrond Foundation is currently bootstrapping the Network, but will gradually hand over governance to the holders thus enabling decentralization

4. On-Chain upgrades have already been successfully performed both on the mainnet and on the public testnet. Elrond's hardfork detection mechanism has been thoroughly tested in Battle of Nodes under severe adversarial conditions.

Here's the gig from what I can make out.. #1, The majority of the masses failed the initiation test miserably... I mean, if there could have been a little bit of a whimper, or somebody yelling at the top of their lungs... But nothing... The test scores are in and the ...cont

Governments have won rounds 1-6. Because of that, a scared and frightened public, is now even more scared, frightened and confused. The way they see it, best to go with the flow for now until "THIS STUPID COVID BULLSH#! PASSES. Not so fast. That's because nothings passing..,cont

They moved into position quickly as soon as the Bullsh#! was in peoples head about a deadly virus.. Complete makeovers featuring facilities and safety equipment for Covid19.. I kept telling you to pay attention, now they've infiltrated this stuff into everything...cont

At this point, they have successfully removed anything and everything that made life worth livin.. THINK ABOUT THAT !!. I find myself getting highly frustrated when talking to people, and they have no idea whats going on.. Vaccine?? what vaccine.. If they hadn't seen me ...cont

By chance, and knowing me, if I find someone who'll listen I'll talk their ears off. Not trying to be rude, it's just to me, the information is something they need to know. Problems arise when it's discovered they have zero knowledge about any of it. Information is being withheld

@Qtah17 I just had a 98-99% blockage removed from my left carotid artery yesterday. For more than a year, I had EXTREMELY mild symptoms that only occasionally manifested & lasted only minutes. My diagnosis and survival is nothing short of miraculous.

The Government is forcing Australians who have lost their job to eat their superannuation before they can access unemployment support.

On 25 September the Government reinstated the Liquid Assets Waiting Period for Australians with liquid assets applying for unemployment support.

In question time today, the Minster representing the Minister for Social Services Stuart Robert confirmed that superannuation withdrawn early is considered a liquid asset for the purposes of triggering the waiting period.

With the Government encouraging out-of-work Australians to access up to $20,000 of their superannuation early, many have been subjected to the Liquid Assets Waiting Period.

The Minister also confirmed that the Government has plans to double the waiting period to up to six months, which would cut $10,600 in unemployment support to Australians who have lost their job.

The truth in Black and white: An apology from The Kansas City Star. In a six-part investigation, @KCStar finds it "scorned generations of Black Kansas Citians and...robbed an entire community of opportunity, dignity, justice and recognition."

As floodwater upended Black lives in 1977, Kansas City newspapers fixated on Plaza, suburbs and all but ignored how the flood destroyed the homes of Black citizens -- part of @KCStar investigation of itself in, "The Truth in Black and White."

Charlie Parker? Jackie Robinson? For The Star, Kansas City Black culture was invisible

When civil rights movement marched forward, @KCStar lagged behind. The newsroom was run by white men. They overlooked the protest the way they overlooked nearly everything else involving the Black community in the mid-60s

‘Brutes’ and murderers: Black people overlooked in KC coverage — except for crime. Rarely, even up into the 1960s, did the papers doubt, challenge or investigate the police version of events, or interview Black victims.

NEW: For more than 10 years, Scarborough residents have been promised improved transit — including a subway. But nothing has been done. Has Scarborough been taken for a ride https://t.co/Q3VP5lxK6w /1

With news the Scarborough RT will fail before anything is built, leaving transit users on the bus, possibly for years, I compiled everything I know about the decisions that led us here, for the first time in chronological order. This will be a long thread. /2

December 2010: During his first day in office, Rob Ford declares David Miller's Transit City LRT plan is dead (Spoiler: It's not). /3

March 2011: But it doesn't happen like that. Ford signs a memorandum of understanding with Metrolinx to kill the Finch & Sheppard LRTs and completely bury the Eglinton Crosstown without council's approval. The original seven-top Scarborough LRT is part of this non-binding deal /4

February 2012: In a major defeat, council rebukes this transit arrangement that requires their approval and votes to build the Transit City lines, including the Scarborough LRT. Ford’s TTC chair Karen Stintz leads the revolt. /5

Weekend Musings

Step by step guide on how to prove via SM photographs that you have embraced Class and crawled out of your Indian middle class origins and are ready to look down upon fellow Indians with that high society subtle and pretentious scoff and ‘OMG’!

Let’s go -

1. ‘The book I’m reading’ photograph isn’t about the book. It should have a frappe, cappuccino, anychino..basically any Barista level fancy stuff. Coz honestly neither you nor your friends understand or use French press or Colombian beans. An eatable, casually thrown around, but

make sure the label is visible. And it HAS to be some foreign brand of cookies, cheese, cake you picked up at your last Khan market visit and we’re saving for this photograph. Try Scandinavian brands. No one understands what’s written and everyone will assume it’s really fancy.

And all this should cover not more than 30-40% of space in your photograph. Rest should be of the ‘view’ of the localé which ‘ OMG I wasn’t even aiming at but it just came in picture’ kinda stuff. An opportunity to show your house, garden, hotel etc. Make sure the beverage is

in a big cup. Never China. That’s Middle class. Go for those heavy stone/ Earth shade ones that prove how you always prefer staying connected to ground but everyone know they are pretty costly at those fancy stores. You can also buy them from road side vendors and fool everyone.
