I went to an indoor flea market/antiques sale today. I got some neat stuff that I'll show off in a video one day this week (because I'm trying to make video production part of my day to day workflow.)
While I was there, a woman pushed past me muttering under her breath that the radical left were a bunch of satanists and "he's going to make it all okay."
A few feet from there, another man was Shouting about how we all "needed to have some goddamn respect for the american military" and how "them (racial slur)s aint gonna kill themselves". A nearby man, apparently a retired soldier, talked him down and escorted him out of the building.
As we left, one vendor said to another "well, honey if you're still here then just take it. I won't need it. Trump's starting the rapture soon."
The mood on the ground is unhinged y'all.
I got to play DND yesterday (c&c ruleset) my character is presenting as a halfling Monk rogue from Tilverton, but in actuality is a Tibbit (dragon magazine #135 July 1988) which is a small Hobbit looking species of shapechangers who take the form of housecats and with a little homebrew jazz, he has a 3rd form which is a small catfolk khajiit looking dude. We're keeping the shapechanger stuff secret from the rest of the party for now.
I decided that since he's sort of a detective style character a la Eddie Valiant (who framed Roger Rabbit) that I needed a gruff rough and tumble kinda personality and I've landed on a terrible Robert Shaw impression using Quint from Jaws as inspo lol.
Listening to Behind the Bastards at 1.2 speed, for almost this entire year at least one or two episodes every couple of days, with taking breaks for mental health and I still haven't gotten into the 2020s yet.
Why are there so many bastards
Because I'm cool and sexy I was thinking about how anarchism is just temporary dissatisfaction with existing governmental systems. When something develops that checks the right boxes for the individual their anarchism fades.
(I don't know if I actually believe that statement, just a thought I had at the urinal)
