@BrianLehrer Maybe having the freedom and wealth to move abroad is actually what makes people happy, rather than the moving itself

@BrianLehrer Why is it that whenever I feel like I’d be safe doing stuff with reasonable precautions, the reasonable precautions disappear?

@HyveMynd To be fair, the marketing incentives in board games lend themselves to essentially lying about the number of players they support, so everything is “for 1-6 players,” even if it’s like… Tichu. Feels so very close to “for any number of players.”

@GeekEnby Black olives are both good and unpopular so more pizza for me.

@mountain_goats I’ve always felt strongly that most characters should be introduced at the end of the piece.

@BrianLehrer might be a great interviewer, but he is completely stymied by having a super dumb guy as a guest.

@smoreofbabylon I have selected the Dallas Cowboys! As I understand it they are the heels of football. Possibly it’s just a rivalry with the Giants. I call them “my boys.” I don’t know any names, just look at the first jersey I see and say “what’s incredible about x” is that he can run AND throw

Mr. Lieber also introduced performance management - the corporate process where your manager makes you write "self-directed goals" and you are evaluated against them. HR professionals have known this to be ineffective for decades, but Mr. Lieber introduced it recently. Why?

[Jeff Tolerates Games @ExcitingJeff]

The MTA is so averse to white-collar workers working from home that when they were forced to finally allow it, Mr. Lieber's staff initially demanded a daily hourly work log 8 hours a day, every day, even though at that point no new contracts were being rewarded. Why make ppl lie?

If you want to step away and look like a statesman, might I recommend not starting your conversation with an infuriating 20 minute boomer rant about how you were only joking.

For those of you having difficulty understand why people don't trust the vaccine, let me shed some light on the matter. A thread:

Imagine you're a normal person, and you come back from your men's rights group meeting and you log on to a gaming review website and 1/

It’s just… y’all I own a dozen fucking Warhammer and Star Wars t-shirts, and thankfully I am into those things, but I do not wanna either rep the same shit or wear a plain black shirt every day. I contain multitudes and I’m not JUST talking about pizza rolls.

Things I am distinctly NOT allowed to like:
Indie video games
Literally any music I consider important to me
Most role playing games (come the fuck on y’all…)
Most comics I like.

As part of personal crusade, I’d like to hear from my fellow fat people what you’re allowed to like, as determined by the T-shirts you are allowed to wear. For the purposes of the discussion, I mean “available in 3XL or larger.”

[Jeff Tolerates Games @ExcitingJeff]

Here’s everything I can think of:
Disney properties (includes Star Wars, Marvel, etc)
Warhammer
Superhero comics
Pro wrestling
Heavy metal from the 80s
“Clever sayings”
Beer and other consumer products
Sports
Video games

Everyone on twitter thinks they’re a comic, but my boy Holmes is NOT FUCKING AROUND.

[Barnacle Press @BarnaclePress]

The Barnacle Bros. strip debuted on this day in 2021. This loving homage to the history and formal conventions of the comic strip was the first strip produced by the curators of Barnacle Press.

There, now you have a non-fash Death Korps of Krieg army concept, please use it to excess.
