Sometimes I think I've got bad opinions about tabletop RPGs, and then I run into some fucker in the replies on one of my posts sincerely arguing that having a pronouns slot on your character sheet is "performative" and I'm reminded that everything is relative.

[prokopetz]

(Weirdly, their reasoning wasn't that it's pandering, but that people who need to be explicitly told that they're allowed to pick any pronouns they want for their character don't play the kinds of games where pronoun fuckery is appropriate in the first place!)

could someone bring out the ven-diagram of bdsm and ttrpg players please? this feels important to add to this discussion

[thedaygoesupinflames]

everyone got the blorbo where you'd really love to go "i think theyre a psychopath/sociopath" but if you do everyones gonna reblog the post bashing the shit out of them assuming you meant it in an insulting ableist way and not in a no they'd get diagnosed with it clinically if they talked to a professional way

Biggest fuck-up ever is that people have to pay to become doctors

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

Like unironically we should be subsidising at least 50% of their educations. What do you mean we have a shortage of doctors we should have surplus. What do you mean they’re being overworked they should be treated like royalty, they can fix human bodies

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

I don’t care if some of them are only doing it for the money. I don’t care if all of them are only doing it for the money. Intentions don’t matter to the stitches in my nana’s leg or the ten billion other lifesaving treatments we all get at a detriment to their finances and mental wellbeing. Entire cities are kept alive by just a couple thousand of them what are we DOINGGGGG

[naamahdarling]

If we had more, maybe it would be easier to get the shitty ones fucking replaced. The board isn't going to do much to the only endocrinologist in the state who takes Medicaid, you know? But if there were more than, idk, maybe 5? Maybe then?

[landunderthewave]

More importantly if you needed less money and less physical stamina to become a doctor, people with less money and less physical stamina could become doctors, which would increase diversity and improve patient care.

[votivemanatee0]

and on top of all that, if we have more doctors we have more people who know how some of the older technology works so they can help keep it functional, or even run it when others arent super comfortable using it just yet! not to mention if we even just doubled the amount of medical proffesionals out there we would reduce the physical and mental stress of everyone working medical by a not insignificant margin which would help save lives in and of itself simply because they would be able to work shorter shifts and get a functional and healthy amount of sleep every day before work.

Grace playing “Sisyphus” with the pebbles during recess in his dome where he rolls them in their balls up the hill and then lets go so they roll all the way back down to the bottom before he rolls the next pebble back up the hill.

The pebbles love it, it’s like going sledding given how cold the dome is, but Rocky wants to know why Grace calls it Sisyphus and not sledding.

So Grace explains the myth and the punishment. Sisyphus still thinks he’ll be able to get the boulder to the top and that he’ll still outwit the Gods one final time. It’s only his hubris that is grander than his cleverness and frustration in believing he is capable of completing an impossible task. Trapped forever believing he will be successful in pushing his boulder up the hill.

Rocky watches as Grace, years after arriving on Erid, finally having regained some muscle mass, gently pushes another xenonite ball up the gentle sandy slope of their beach. Rocky can hear the laughing tones of the pebble urging teacher-Grace to push them higher because they want to roll further than student-Ruby. Rocky can hear Graces smile and thinks, one must imagine Sisyphus happy.

one must imagine Sisyphus at peace with where he ended up

Submitter comment: I'd like to submit this '[s]tudy of defensive behavior of a venomous snake as a new approach to understand snakebite' not for it's topic (worth studying!) but for it's insane methodology, which... well, I'll just let the researcher speak for himself:

[Q: Why did you decide to do this experiment?

A: Snake behavior has been generally neglected as a field of research, especially in Brazil. And most studies don’t examine what factors make them want to bite. If you study malaria, you can research the parasite that causes the disease—but if you don’t study the mosquito that carries it, you will never solve the problem. Up until now, the popular wisdom was that the jararaca would only attack if you touched it or stepped on it. But that was not what we found.

Q: Why did you need to be the victim?

A: The best way to do this research is to put snakes and a human together. In this case, the human was me. We put the snakes inside a ring on the floor of our lab until they got used to it, then I stepped in wearing special protective boots. I stepped close to the snake and also lightly on top of it. I didn’t put my whole weight on my foot, so I did not hurt the snakes. I tested 116 animals and stepped 30 times on every animal, totaling 40,480 steps.]

From the recent (aptly named) interview: Researcher steps on deadly vipers 40,000 times to better predict snakebites

dehydrated is a thing, and you would think "hydrated of the de" would mean the same thing but nooo

[peach-paradox]

having being anti death penalty as one of my core beliefs is fun because it really makes me realize how even progressive people want soooooo badly for there to be a category of people they can kill. I'm sorry but "group of people okay to kill" does not exist.

[votivemanatee0]

the only argument we will accept for the death penalty is for people convicted of warcrimes by an international committee. and even that is tenuous

[writing-prompt-s]

You chose the name of a goddess of death for your online handle and kept it for games, websites and social media. You thought it was cool until the goddess herself came and wanted to have a word with you.....

Sometimes I look at the notes on one of my posts and I think, “good lord, I am so goddamn lucky to share tumblr with such an insightful, clever, thoughtful gaggle of freaks doing their absolute best.”

Other times I hold my head in my hands and sob, repeatedly muttering “they’re so goddamn stupid” to myself
