The problem isn’t the users of social media. The problem is the owners. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Just finished a solo RPG, Thousand Year Vampire, and it’s my first I’ve ever tried.

My character was a vampire in Trondheim, who moved to York and then New Orleans and NYC.

I learned so many things, like the Harrying of the North, Staple City laws, early NYC music halls, and more.

Good game :)

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

proud to eat like an imperial concubine

lemonsharks writes: "My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn: Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined."

sighinastorm adds, "I like this so much better than the idea that our ancestors would be embarrassed or ashamed of us for being 'soft' or some crap like that."

fantasyboudicca adds, "My ancestors, watching me stuff my face with fried chicken while studying: She eats like an imperial concubine and can afford to study like an imperial scholar. WE MADE IT"
