Wonderful. What is your wife going to do with pounds of frozen chopped tomatoes? Perhaps a pasta sauce base?

Looks like... one of the Number islands from FireRed? I like the scale we get of the normally unreachable highland area.

Lots of great tips here, but one that works pretty well for my group, is to think of myself less as an actor playing a character, and more like a narrator. Which is to say, I'll often describe the actions and/or thought process of my character before saying what I think they'll say (in my normal voice).

This is easiest for mages since cantrips like Prestidigitation become powerful roleplaying tools, but even something like holding a Fire Bolt in the air over the person you're trying to intimidate can have an interesting affect on the mood of the scene.

Don't listen to the haters here, you make a fine point. First, we stop criminalizing it. Let the hatred and the worship fade a bit. Then we can focus on objectively determining it's uses, it's dangers, and it's place in society.

Up to now, you've been following the track your society has laid out for you, growing and building yourself into a useful and civilized adult. Unfortunately, this where the tracks end.

No one will blame you if you fall into the perpetual cycles of materialism and let the world grind you up in exchange for occasional pleasure of increasingly empty quality.

The only escape I have encountered is to find something that calls to you, and to treat it as more important than yourself. The hard part about that is that other people, your friends and family and strangers online, who do not themselves worship the same, will criticize your choice. And you'll have to decide which you can afford to do without.

 

I've got a new job that I didn't realize tested until after they gave me the offer (legal state), now I'm one week sober and drinking/sweating like a monster, but I'm not sure it'll work in the one week I've got left before the start date.

Lots of websites suggest various detox drinks, but there's often a profit incentive for them to say that.

I'm not afraid to spend money, I just want this to be over with. Anyone know of any drinks or strategies that worked for them?

Oh man, I've been looking for one of these. Does it let you customize the homepage as well? I can't stand being blasted with eye-catching recommendations whenever I browse, it often makes me forget what I was going to look up in the first place!

Wouldn't that result in less cooling than colder water? Legit curious, since I've never heard of this nor even considered it.
