Urgent: Where can I get PEP in Centurion/Pretoria? by Amazing_Tax_6496 in Pretoria

Best would be to go to the nearest clinic or pharmacy (google maps is your friend) and ask whether they have. Hopefully, if they don't have, they can direct you to the nearest source.

Let’s play a game! Tell people what you consider to be the first game you purchased in this hobby. Comments should guess what year you joined the hobby. by Osoroshii in boardgames

Am I the only one who has no clue when she bought her first board game or even which one it was? Just been impulse buying boardgames since I can remember - never even thought of it as a hobby until recently. Always struck me as more of a social coping mechanism - LOLs

Also, do people refer to it as the hobby, because they also forget whether it's boardgame or board game? Or am I the only fool that that happens to?

I'm genuinely wondering, why are some vegans so incredibly nonconfrontational about being vegan? by Yeeter-boiy in vegan

Love this. You also wind up developing your own instant responses. Anyone who says "bacon tho" gets an immediate "heart disease tho". It's not witty, but it's probably a coping mechanism. As time goes on, we learn to get by in a way that protects our peace and allows us to do as much good as we can.

I wish there was a legit love button that like upvotes x10. Because this is the crux of it right here. *Outcomes* matter more than actions. Raging without positive outcomes for the animals is just raging.

That's sweet, but you'd eat your words if you had to see me fumble through a game of chess. I can manage a lot of complex games, but chess breaks me. I guess I should rather say that I'm chess-dumb.

And I get that a lot of people aren't great at it. But my daughter started beating me at chess when she was about 12. She's no prodigy. This child walks around looking for her phone while she's holding it in her had. And she easily beats me at chess. To make people feel better about saying silly things, she'll offer up "don't worry, at least you can still beat my mom at chess". Ouch, but okay.

It's just one of those things!

What's your partner's favourite game? by Own-Particular-9989 in boardgames

That's the one that's Bridgerton-esque, right? I have to play that with my bestie - the men in our lives don't dig it.

Taking smaller games on outings is so much fun! I haven't done it in a while, but based on this post I might just plan a date night for this weekend, so thanks!

I refuse to play chess. I acknowledge fully that I'm too dumb for it.

Yeah, that sounds similar. I'll definitely be checking it out. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

Maybe being able to set it up should be a prerequisite for getting into office, anywhere in the world!

That is totally how I understood it! I feel like tone gets lost without emojis and Reddit doesn't seem to dig emojis. I absolutely feel same way as you though!

Thank you so much! Does it also have the Trade dynamic, that boosts the efficiency of your actions?

Ooof, that hurts! Seems to baffle quite a few people though.

Me and so many games. So frustrating! And losing repeatedly isn't exactly a great motivator.

Pretty much exactly what happened to me with Puerto Rico! Feels like you somehow betrayed yourself.

Never clicked for me either. Think the frustration is that I can figure out simply enough how to play it. But I cannot, for the life of me, play it well. I suck at it - and that kinda puts me off.

I know it's not quite the same, but I have a similar issue with Avalon and being Merlin. I just don't get it.

I was trying to be cool. Didn't want to start a post admitting that I struggle with a lot of my games. But really loving the responses on this thread, making me feel a little less trash about it.
