@its_JFam@IvanCortez_@FriendOfAstraea@ConSelfOwns … ok. Let’s say that population of 10K people got married and had three kids a piece. So every couple has a net gain of one child every, let’s say 20 years. Let’s say everyone has all their children at 20 and die when they’re 80. By 2010 you’d have 532k people. So it’s not crazy
@its_JFam@IvanCortez_@FriendOfAstraea@ConSelfOwns By 2030, there would be 787k people at that rate. And that’s assuming an average net gain of .5 people per person every 20 years. If the average net gain in population among indigenous people was higher and/or more frequent, I can see it easily.

Does Patti have any idea what anyone is talking about? No. Does she confuse JRR Tolkien with George R Martin? Probably. Is it worth it to hear Alex and @sofakingpodcast's @Sofakingdave1 geek out about D&D? Absolutely.

@cbouzy “That coffee is coming out of your pay.”
I silently moved a buck fifty from the tip jar to the drawer. Still expecting... I don’t know what... something??? A laugh? Some recognition of what happened.
She said “maybe next time you’ll remember to check.”
Truly confounding.
@cbouzy I used the pen on the card he had given me—knowing full well what would happen—because... I guess I just wanted to see how she would react... would she put it together?
She did not. When the counterfeit pen left a black mark, she sighed heavily shook her head and said...
