It's weird how the Asian-American experience is the EXACT opposite of the Jewish-American experience. America wants Asians to remain foreign and separate; you could be as whitebread as the average Iowan with family who got here in the mid 1800s, but you'll be treated like you just stepped off the plane. By comparison Jews can't be assimilated and branded invisible whites fast enough (and then it gets turned on us for being evil infiltrators).

And it's wild how African-American experience is both yet NEITHER of these. Black people were supposed to be apart and yet not have a culture of their own and, when they kitbashed one, Black culture was another commodity.

@fairydoctor420 You didn't actually - I got onto Discord because it did voice stuff better than roll20, and then EVERYONE wanted to use Discord in the wake of Twitter becoming increasingly unusable.

really hits those childhood buttons about "an adult or peer has decided that no matter what I do I am going to fail so they can then tell me how stupid I am for not understanding something obvious." This is something about my childhood y'all probably didn't need to know right?

update, dealing with Discord was so intuitive and user friendly that I successfully finally reset my password, then it told me my email didn't exist, then I made a new account and it couldn't find friends by name, so after saying FUCK YOU loudly and punching into my own hand several times I decided that I'm going to give up on Discord for the evening.

I really miss drawing with blue col-erase pencils. They had such a nice feel and of course they were easier to clean up after inking.

So wait “smells like teen Spirit” was Kurt trying to write a Pixies song and wound up swiping “I bleed,” Dave Grohl admits swiping the drum pattern from a Bad Brains song.

So Teen Spirit was a hit because it was assembled from elements which were all good in themselves?

I still haven't heard anything back so I figure I didn't get the job at Africatown. And I mean, it probably SHOULD go to an African-American, just it would have been a good job with what sure seemed like good people doing something I could believe in.

@mcc I'd assume "jazz fission" involves having a saxophone and a keyboardist busking at opposite ends of the subway station

I still need to download Adam Driver so I can run Adam on my laptop

@frost is this at home or did you go out?

I am a MACHINE for turning EXISTENTIAL DREAD into POOR BODY IMAGE

well and a truly horrible opinion of my art and intelligence etc, but this is more compact

It's been cold so late into this year - I think it's weather patterns shunted over, after the comparatively mild winter. It's probably a little early to worry about how bad late summer's gonna get, but it's also around 6 and I've barely slept, so naturally I think about it.

having gender feels again. This is kinda not the best time for it.

apparently it's being a bad sleep night so I might try to roll with that a bit and just be a lump for Wednesday.

The world has changed. I feel it in the water. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, isn't. For there are few now who remember it.

1) the screen on this laptop is probably hosed. This is NOT a good time to have to find a new laptop, but when WAS going to be a good time?

2) I am up thanks to acid reflux.

3) Half-asleep reading a feat in an old Dragon magazine and thinking "what if we didn't carefully measure out movement by squares and instead just threw out bonuses or penalties to hit based on whether someone really hauled ass to attack or retreat" leads to more awake "what if I ran Dungeon World?"

@arakin DEVO: what if we wrote a song about a cute girl, and then jumped up and down?

SOUNDGARDEN: it's about 4 AM, what if we got in the van and drove to Fred Meyers in Federal Way?

most OWoD fans are split on whether Count Chocula is a Ventrue, Tzimisce or even Malkavian, but White Wolf never officially answered this question
