I don't know what is going on. This is the longest I've been cut on Fios. Its been 4 or 5 hours already. Phone forum? Its like methadone! It might be another internet attack or maybe I'm in the process of being "Wikileaked" by Hasbro with a member of their Elite Jedi Seal LARP team stuck in the cat flap downstairs...  |

Turns out its the wire just going to my box that was severed. Although I don't see any fallen branches... Its a conspiracy of treants. Been paying too much attention to trolls....

Don't rule Hasbro out.

Maybe it was Ents sent by the Tolkien estate?

Could be Hillary. I read on the internets that she's responsible for everything.

In NY, she can do no wrong. When I went to Lake George there were anti-Hillary slogans on everything. Here Trump is bashed routinely and no one mentions Hillary. Its the reverse.
I used to talk politics as a teenager but these days its just better off shutting the kids and their friends down so they can enjoy each other. My daughter lost a good friend over not agreeing on political racial nonsense and it was heartbreaking. My rule is no politics while I'm still alive.

Politics has nothing on edition 'debates'.

"Hey, Gene, want to try a Pathfinder session?" "YOU INHUMAN, SYPHILIS-ADDLED EXCREMENT!!!" "I'm guessing that means yo- WHA? Why are you rolling out a bed of nails next to my wall of Pathfinder books?" |

Its fixed finally. Now I'm free to waste endless hours looking up forgotten opening acts of the 1980s, sketchy cryptozoology videos, and lets not forget my Google News feed of whats NOT happening in D&D... |

I've lost all interest in debating politics and religion. To me there is a lot of possible downside and no upside. I find when these topics are off the table I get along fine with people whose views are diametrically opposed to mine.
Unless they play the wrong edition of D&D!
Actually I don't even care about what other people play... I only have a problem when they try to bash OD&D/AD&D.

The worst is not "DOUCHEBAG for president" or "I am a follower of DOUCHEBAG beliefs". No, no... Its:
"I couldn't wait for you two to meet since you both play the same game." then you find out they don't really play D&D for various reasons and there is no way out of this conversation without driving through a wall to escape.

A friend of mine discovered he had shared D&D interests with a guy he sparred with. Their friendly banter ended abruptly when he discovered te other guy played 3E or 4Eor whatever and wouldn't shut up about all the Power combos and feats and stuff. Now they punch each other with gusto!

There is definitely a thing for instance when people find out that I'm a D&D lover it will not come up as if I'm going to Jack-in-the-Box with confetti and polyhedrons at the mention of it.

Its funny I'm friends with the father of one of my daughter'former classmates and we dont talk politics, religion or D&D but I feel we've been friends so long that there is no place to go after this.
Honestly? I think D&D players are a pet peeve of his.

Seriously? The internet was/is/always will be a good thing. I can joke all I want but at the end of the day information, art and most of all humanity is all there when you look past the superficial "currently updated" daily fluff of the internet. Sorry, I just had to clear that up. |
