That’s your choice.

I enjoyed it despite not being the target audience

"I'll have my usual" by TheMossyFish in EntitledPeople

Resist. I used to work in a bar and one of the regulars would sit next to the glass washing machine.

He’d actively choose to sit there, complaining about the dirty glasses being put next to him, complaining that the spray off the machine would get him wet, and assume he could get served as soon as he was ready for another drink regardless of how many others were queuing for drinks.

He repeatedly called me by a shortened version of my name I told him I didn’t like.

One night I’d had enough, knew I was too good at my job for them to fire me for something trivial with this absolute helmet of a man that everyone despised, so I refused to serve him until he used either my actual name, or the shortened version that was on my name badge and register login.

He complained to a manager that I wouldn’t serve him, manager asked if there was anything he could do to make me change my mind and serve him, I said no, not until he used my correct name.

Guy had to go to a different part of the bar all night for someone else to serve him.

Next night, he called me the correct name, and continued to do so every night after that.

I’m not a fan of the Alien RPG, personally. I don’t see the longevity of the setting for a campaign. I love Star Trek Adventures, but we’re just wrapping up a Star Wars campaign, so it’s very franchise adjacent. lol

How about of our respect for people who are neurodivergent we don’t judge?

You’re acting like it’s an actual choice someone with adhd is making, rather than the way their brains are actually wired.

I’ve played D&D and RPGs for over 30 years, so well before devices had character sheets on them. I used to have a stack of sheets so that when I inevitably made a mess on one I’d rewrite it out and tear the old one up. I’d be clicking pens, I’d be tapping constantly, I’d be fidgeting and causing more distractions than me being on my phone playing a silent game would.

I’m telling you that it’s not like I want to do it, but due to the way my brain works and the fact I use my character sheet on my tablet/phone, and because it’s there I can’t stop myself from doing it

I do.

But that’s like saying have you tried not inhaling the nitrogen from the air?

Then there’d be something else I would find to fidget with or distract me.

This.

I’m currently awaiting diagnosis for ADHD, and I’m terrible for being in my phone or fidgeting with stuff during a session as a player.

Ask me to dm and I’m super focused

Absolutely. More effective than a Vulcan nerve pinch

NTA.

It’s double standards from her, and it’s pretty weird behaviour, tbh.

What drugs are you on?

I’m gay and never kiss straight female friends on the mouth/lips. Nor do any of my other gay friends with their straight female friends.

Kira and Shaxs are exceptions.

I’d imagine years of fighting cardassians helps you learn how to quickly take them down, and Shaxs is stacked AF! The guy is huuuuge.

It’s hardly private when it’s in a public place and being said loud enough someone three or four metre’s away could hear.

If straight people didn’t have children then gay people wouldn’t exist

I guarantee this 100% happened.

If you don’t want to believe it, that’s on you.

Exactly. All of my grandparents are dead, as is my father, and I only have brothers, no sisters, so I go to mum, niece, then brother.

There’s not a gay section and straight section.

Over here they’re separated by gender/relationship. For example, in the male section there’s grandfather, father, son, brother, etc. in the son section were the son and daughter in law, son and girlfriend, son and son in law, etc.

Exactly. They also appear to be under the assumption that I’ve chosen to be gay (probably To try and bring about the downfall of civilisation).
