@DACDAC4DAC Don't look now, but you're currently demanding that others who don't know you change their lives so you don't have to, because you're afraid to make even minor concessions to public safety. We're still dealing with this pandemic because of people like you.

The real story here is that Netflix greenlit a third season of a television show.

Not a board game, but am entire PS4 controller and charging dock just up and disappeared.

[Joe Sondow @JoeSondow]

Retweet if you know you own board games that are just missing, gone, just LOST somewhere in your home forever, like you might never see them again but you’re 100% positive they’re less than two rooms away.

@rdonoghue One of my favorite things about Witcher 3 is that Geralt is the main character, but it's really Ciri's story.

Today my son found some old dried up pieces of paper and declared them maps and that we would follow them. I asked him where, and he said "California." California, it turns out, is the vacant building down on the corner.

@ShoshanaKessock Right, but then - and hear me out on this - then you add the smell of rotting garbage.

@BusinessInsider Why is Business Insider so bad at figuring out what people have been screaming for years?

I mean... if there's one thing America has made abundantly clear it's that kids' lives are an acceptable loss in exchange for profit.

[Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids @TobaccoFreeKids]

New research shows more teens are trying — and failing — to quit vaping nicotine.

The tobacco industry continues to sell highly addictive, flavored e-cigs and our kids are paying the price. Families can't handle this alone — @FDATobacco must eliminate flavored e-cigs.

@boymonster This is what happens when FromSoft gets the license.

@onejobbaltimore @petercalloway This is not remotely the point of the thread, you doofus.

There are people finished with Elden Ring already? This does not compute.

In most video games, you learn not to fuck with bears. It's a bit of a meme at this point.

Elden Ring ups the ante.

I've killed three demigods, six or seven dragons, and countless unfathomable horrors.

But bears? Those things still scare me.

[Brian Engard @Zelgadas]

@ShoshanaKessock @carrharr Yes. And also I just think there should be more Ghost Riders. Just lots of them, a whole Gist Rider Squad.

[Brian Engard @Zelgadas]

Even now, I feel a bit like I'm doing the, "Cis white dudes are the real victims here" thing, and that's not my intent. So I'll just say that a lot of my social interactions are characterized by some combination of anxiety, guilt, and feeling like an outsider and leave it there.

[Brian Engard @Zelgadas]

This hit me hard. It's super isolating being a man, and gets worse the more aware you become of the reasons. Rejecting toxic masculinity is a constant, conscious struggle, a process of unlearning things you thought were fundamental truths.

[Brian Engard @Zelgadas]

I'm silencing myself because I don't want to seem like I'm doing the "not all men" thing, while simultaneously being aware of how low the bar can be for me, and not wanting to take advantage.

@KrystinaArielle Widdershins is a good one
