If he was sitting on a golden toilet with a spray-painted phone, it would be indistinguishable from the original author.

Strategy favorite: Root - it's rules-heavy, but each faction functions completely differently, and the art is fantastic.

Strategy blah: Axis and Allies. It's more of a history lesson than a game, and I've never heard of a game taking less than four hours.

Chance favorite: Egyptian War (goes by other names, I think). Technically it's not pure chance, but mostly (which is probably why I like it).

Chance blah: Left Center Right. The most mind-numbing experience.

For the record, Bingo isn't dull if you play it the way those older ladies do, with like 12 cards at a time. Then it's just a rush of anxiety. Still not fun, but not dull.

As of right now, your other post has 15 downvotes and 3 comments from others (the other 4 are you). All three comments say that you're posting bait. This is hardly "oblivion."

To answer your question, people are harsh on the transracial thing because they feel it's similar to how some pedophiles are trying to normalize pedophilia, and are trying to make themselves part of the LGBTQ+ movements (even though most people don't recognize that as legitimate). Whatever your views on any of these issues, many people feel that injecting illigitmate (or bad faith) cases like this actually takes away from the people fighting for legitimate things.

I'm not taking sides right now, just trying to help you understand why you're getting this response. If you're vying for transracial identities as legitimate, you've got a long and harsh road ahead, expect more pushback like this in almost all spaces.

Thanks! It was about 10 years ago, but I still enjoy being artsy.

I (male) tend to do more tidying, while my spouse (female) tends to do more cleaning.

I'd say the stereotypes are dated from when men weren't expected to care for themselves or their home. And I know plenty of boomers and a few Gen X who fit into that, but I don't see it as common in more recent generations.

I arranged the flowers for my wedding.

Yes, polluting data sets is a way to combat unethical LLMs, but there's no practical way to publish something publicly while protecting it from data scrapers.

Yeah, this is one of those "broken clock" things.

Once again, D&D improves society.

Thanks, I just got suspended from school because I submitted a paper written by ChatGPT that called Christopher Columbus a "penis ass vagina bitch."

I read an article written by an inmate who explained how they'd form dice out of toilet paper (because dice were banned in his case) to play D&D. I assumed that was the case in most facilities.
