Rachel, have you ever heard the saying "A corporation is a being with no soul to damn and no ass to kick"?

And I agree. Those dumb political philosophies that assume people will just magically do the right thing without government having some role are just plain dumb. There's a lot of libertarianism here in the US, likely in response to the pathetic amount of government corruption. Our Republican voters keep voting for people who don't even do policies that are broadly popular with both Democrats and Republicans. It could hardly be more obvious that the politicians don't represent the people.

So many people are thinking the solution is to run all the way in the opposite direction: NO government! My anarchist cousin and manospherian brother both came to that genius conclusion.

I say fuck it all. I'm going to Mars and live with Nerdcubed or some shit rather than sit here and bitch about things I can't fix.

On the bright side of something completely irrelevant, Jeb managed to survive my attempt at trying to kill him as opposed to surviving the rescue mission. (Timewarp, I love you. AND ALSO HATE YOU)

… good evening…

EDIT:
Didn't want to double post but random thought of some sort—

Why would anyone react with "Yay :D :3 :D :3" in response to getting warned for breaking a forum rule? surprised

And then ask for more, all with a :3 at the end of their post?

(I don't even know what Shane would do, seeing as its at his forum and he's unable to come online because fate apparently decided so…)

My mother's side of the family is full of huge groups of siblings because her parents' generation were farm kids, so learning I have cousins I didn't know about usually doesn't surprise me. But the day before I moved to Texas I went to a family funeral and learned there's a branch of the family in Texas.

Saw local rendition of Phantom of the Opera today. It was good, but not quite Broadway. Then again, if I hadn't seen the Broadway show beforehand, I'd probably be very impressed at this one.

Also, I started writing my own RP system today. I think it might be beneficial if I'd ever had played anything besides D&D.

Xeroop: Pro tip: Read some stuff from the Powered By The Apocalypse engine, like Apocalypse World (not free), Monster of the Week (mostly free), and Dungeon World (entirely free).

They're absolute wonders of game design and I feel like understanding them as games can be helpful in every respect of role-playing, whether it be homebrewing, gamemastering, or, uh...playing. Man, we need a better name for that last one, that made the whole sentence dumb.

You talking about... Undertale?

No, I'm referring to hipster indie tabletop RPGs.

Removing Undertale from premises doesn't sound like a bad idea in all honesty.

Long-ass message on Facebook from one of my friends just gave me some perspective that I had been woefully lacking prior.

My life is kind of a mess right nownote . And no matter how I go about trying to fix it, I just keep falling into the same patterns, even when I think I'm starting to break them, some patterns more self-sabotaging than others, some more potentially costly than others.

I know two things are for sure: I need to get out of my house and into a place of my own, and I need to get a new job (preferably one that doesn't make me feel increasingly homicidal). I would like to find new friends and new romance, but I feel like I should focus on these more attainable, reasonable, less whiny goals first.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

First they came for Undertale, but I didn't speak up, because I wasn't an Undertale fan.

Then they came for Homestuck, but I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Homestuck fan.

Then they came for Earhtbound — and there was no-one left to speak for me.

With apologies to Martin Niemöller.

Yeah okay you have fun with all your unnecessary math while my players have fun driving a wyvern into another wyvern. (This is a thing that actually happened in a Dungeon World game I ran.)

I figured out a while ago that the best way to make people like things was to *not* force them upon them.
