I similarly remember lots of pizza and chip snacks with soda in my youth, but these days it's often hummus and crudite and beer or wine. Though the DM has asked us to wait until the session feels half over before uncorking the wine...

We functionally switched to stuff that won't muck up sheets or dice. Also, as a group in our 30's and 40's, more people have various dietary concerns, so veggies and bean dips help solve a lot of that.

The DM and I love to cook, so sometimes we'll make themed dinners. Roasted, spiced mushrooms and asparagus and a kale salad for when we stayed with the druids, beer, bread and root veg for a Dwarven section of the campaign, grilled fish (that I caught earlier that day) when we started at a port village, that kinda thing.

This review was written like 2 years before the first ep of Enterprise aired, right?

God, I can't watch that episode without calling my dad after.

I'm less concerned about how these are deployed against soldiers as I am about how they're being provided to police departments as they are in the US.

Seems like an easy choice. You'll feel the effects of daily drinking with in a week or two, but pot smoking? Doesn't seem to affect the day to day

I'm not so sure I'd call myself a "tankie", but I'd like a $12k new car and if it were an EV, even better. I recently paid more for a used car! Cars, like everything else, have gotten so stupidly expensive. It would have been nice to see one thing actually become more affordable because I know wages ain't gonna increase accordingly for a long time.

Aren't those subjective things? It's easier to measure something like chess skill or whether or not someone can do complex math, but harder to quantify someone's morality.

Cis is a Latin prefix that is the opposite of the Latin prefix trans, so it makes sense to use it for people who identify as their gender assigned at birth.

Real skeptical about the government collecting data on minority groups of any kind, especially when connected with address and other identifying information.

I understand the government needs that data appropriately assigned resources to assist those groups, but that assumes that government will solely act benevolently towards those groups and I am not so trusting about that.

Something tells me that Congress isn't too concerned with protecting the self-determination of Bundists and would be quite irked at any attempt to resurrect the Bund in the US. Though, with the resurgent popularity of labor groups, maybe there's an opportunity there...

That said, your post got me thinking...

I know there are many varying opinions being shared at the many protests in support of the Palestinians, but I wonder if there's some appreciable nuance in the IRHA definition where one could claim they aren't saying any State of Israel is a racist endeavor, but this particular one is.
