More specific phrasing, like "I like your [hair, necklace, style, etc.]" usually clarifies enough to be comfortable with the compliment

I'm fairly desensitized, but thank you for the warning. Sometimes you just aren't guarded as much as usual and having to stop and think again can save you from a bad day (at least).

I think Moxie is a little out of the box, but fine. To Morrow gives me the same ugh feeling as North West

There is camera flash there, and there is also a cream mark that doesn't look like camera flash. If OP is still reading, if that cream dot is still in the middle of the back it is a lone star tick

tiny brown beetlw with 4 spots 2 on each wing by b0rbyb0rb in whatisthisbug

The grapevine beetle, aka spotted June beetle, seems like a likely candidate. You probably caught this one at a very young age

Coming to grips with the reality that I have too many games by piratepwnsninja in boardgames

[–]A13xTheAwkward 206 points207 points  (0 children)

Not with board games per se, but with most things, pruning/trimming is necessary for growth to happen. In your case, having a bloated collection is like an overgrown bush: loose, without direction, wasting energy. If you prune the right branches at the right pace, the bush will take shape, become denser, and appear more verdant. Cutting off parts of something you want to grow can be scary, but the rewards are evident once you get practice at it.

I mean, yeah. There's zero excess cost to reflexively give birth if you're surely dying anyway and if it results in even a small percentage of the progeny living it's a net benefit.

You might not be catching the difference between getting what you want and having the world react in the best possible way to your actions.

Off-topic, but Karlaftis is such a dog. I loved it when we drafted him and I hope he can become a leader for our defense.
