@acetone_kitten @starkatt basically a fox is a coyote whose dirty quotes occasionally come from Chaucer

Related tabletop RPG opinion:

the stock joke,
Player: "I rolled a 3 on the investigate check"
GM: You realize... you're in a room."

is funny like, maybe twice and just inane after that.

Tabletop RPG opinion: Apart from limited circumstances like warning about a sneak attack or trap checks, "roll to see if you notice a thing" is a bad mechanic.

You know what made my workday better? Wall-to-wall listening to The Adventure Zone. I'm a bit over halfway through The Eleventh Hour arc and it's so good. Very effective at taking my mind somewhere else, though sometimes trying to not randomly start laughing when around coworkers is a challenge.

Fuck it I'm going back to Chrome.
The ISP already has my entire history anyway.

I seem to have finally learned how to reliably spell "brachistochrone".

Nice.

Thing I enjoy: Glowsticks that still have a tiny bit of glow in them three days later.

GRS, terminology 

My favorite way to name The Surgery is "GRS", expanding to "genital reconfiguration surgery".

Because that's literally what it is. There's really no need to make anything about sex or gender or whatever.

"Personal brands" reduce complex human personalities and subjectivity into a series of marketable expectations and roles deemed fit for consumption.

They are not benign.

Reminder that @Leucrotta wrote the exact perfect description of what it feels like to be a fox:

"First, slam a batch of espresso. Then, when that wears off, find somewhere you're warm, loved, and completely safe."

The idea that you’re obliged to offer everyone who’s wronged and harmed you a redemption arc is both pervasive and toxic. If they redeem *themselves*, great. But you’re not obliged to be a part of it, to believe that they’ve completed it, or to extend forgiveness.

“The alt-right are people who are just like us, so...”

WRONG: “...we should sympathize with them and try to understand their viewpoints.”

RIGHT: “...we should see their transformation into hateful monsters as all the more horrifying, and guard against that transformation in ourselves.”

Reminder: Whenever you go to apologize but then realize it isn’t something you should apologize for and you wonder what to say instead: SAY THANK YOU. Your apologetic instinct is to lower yourself to raise up someone else, and the raising is great but the lowering is unnecessary: Just give them the blessing. Say “thank you for waiting” instead of “sorry I’m late”. It works.

Drawing a sharp dividing line between "metaphorically" and "literally" is modernist bullshit imo.
