As someone who spent the better part of my life with undiagnosed ADHD, it do be. Although, since I started from a position of recreational use, it is hard to find that line between therapeutic and fun.

Good point. And we did manage to elect a Black man by a veritable landslide (twice). Maybe it's just anecdotal evidence or the particular flavor of MAGA in my area.

I don't know this particular asshole, but IME, the racism is typically more important than the misogyny for MAGA-types (but it's a pretty tight race)

It's with noting that the adventure paths and Paizo one-shots are also all very well-written (from the perspective of a novice GM). I've sat down with a group of 11yo kids after giving the adventure a 15-minute glance and been able to run a pretty decent session with next to no prep time.

Fuck yes, Carl Sagan. More people need to read Demon Haunted World. I'm happy for his sake that he died before he had to see what we've become as a society, but I didn't think he would have been particularly surprised at how things went down (especially given his cautionary essay about "The Dumbing Down of America" from the same book written in the 80's)

And you can see the wear on the treads. plus the handrail mount in the top left would be at a very inconvenient height if we were looking from the bottom up

Most of these would make pretty great flash tattoos

Edit: after looking at them again, I think that's exactly what they are

 

Connection: a pointed condemnation of the US carceral system (among other things)

I believe that the way the studio tried to avoid confusion on the Suicide Squad debacle was that one of the films had a "The" in front of it. Then again, I have no idea which movie was THE Suicide Squad, so you can tell how well that worked.

According to the Psychonautwiki on shrooms (which is fairly reliable in my experience), anything over 50mg of psilocybin is a "heavy" dose. Trouble is, unless you can get your shrooms from a reliable source, guessing the psilocybin content is pretty tricky. The one time I intentionally did a pretty heavy trip on shrooms, it was something like a quarter ounce of dried shrooms, but another time I just had a nibble on one for laughs while drinking with my buddies and it wound up being pretty substantial. If they're fresh instead of dried or just a different strain or batch, it's all pretty up in the air, so my advice is to always be ready for a heavy trip unless you've already had some experience with that particular batch.

 

Connection: What someone wants.

Bonus Connection: Both heavily featured in the seminal 90's masterpiece Empire Records

I believe that's the point of the original meme. I hesitate to say "whoosh," as you did eventually get to the the same interpretation, but you definitely took the pretty blatant subtext and made it text.

Then again, I still upvoted you

Yeah, that seemed needlessly confusing to me too.

Many, if not most, modern satanists are atheistic satanists. Satan is merely a convenient bit of Judeo-Christian mythology/imagery used to irritate Christians.

While I hesitate to recommend The Satanic Temple due to the actions of one of the founders, their "7 Fundamental Tenets" are a pretty great basis for an atheistic worldview.

Edit: normally, I'd link some resources, but it's late, I'm on mobile, and search engines exist, so... Sorry, not sorry.

 

Connection: the Steve Vai song is from an album called The 7th Sons

edit: maybe I misread the font and it's The 7th Song, but we've come too far to turn back at this point

Apparently Roger Miller also wrote "Oo-De-Lally" from Disney's Robin Hood, which was a very important song in my formative years.

Huh, TIL

 

Connection: Nilsson and Kristofferson are both stereotypical Scandinavian surnames
