Mourning those friendships where you kinda just gradually grew apart and you don't know how to rekindle that friendship
I think I'm going to run a campaign where pretty much every item is magical and pretty cool but they're all cursed in some way, so it turns into a balancing act/find a priest. Or something like Bloodborne where you have to ration out the use of your powerful items but have to make do with weaker but less dangerous ones.
Cool thing about this is that it is almost a completely outdated idea in that it isn't really necessary anymore, but you can't easily move a whole city. It was originally because when those areas flooded and then receded it would leave far more fertile soil, the Nile is the most famous example. So when people started farming they needed to stay in one place and the place where all the fish and yearly refertilised soil and a body of water for irrigation are is really nice. Later trade was a lot harder over land so coastal cities near rivers were important trade hubs, so there were more jobs, so more migrants, so more people and bigger cities. Nowadays overland logistics networks are efficient enough that inland cities have a lot easier of a time existing. So that's cool.
Where we put Cities
I'm allergic to crabs, I substitute old bay and the flag. One time as a small child I saw a sign for live crabs, and something about asking at the counter, and so I was like "can we go and ask to look at the crabs?" And they let us look at the crabs, it was great.
continually awed by how american states function like separate countries
I held back on getting my gender changed in the state of Georgia because it required filing a court case and appearing before a judge to prove that I had transitioned enough to warrant calling myself male on my documents. there was a strong possibility they could deny me because I hadn't undergone any type of surgery (a requirement under Georgia law that is waived only sometimes), despite passing as male 100% of the time.
this morning I went to the Maryland vehicle administration building and they had a touch screen with buttons that said "male" and "female."
I paused and asked the lady "I can choose male, right?" and she looked at me (again, I'm just some guy with a beard) (and I think she misheard me) and she was like "Oh! Do you want to be female now?" I said no, my Georgia license (directly in front of her) says female, they wouldn't let me change it, can I be male now?
she said to just pick whichever I wanted. I got my updated license in 5 minutes.
A buzzard interrupted one of my axedwarfs in full steel armor while he was getting a drink and proceeded to get his leg busted up and his wing severed with no harm to the dwarf.
Did he attack the dwarf because he was shiny or did he expect to win or?
gays, like all people, deserve rights
