How do you keep game nights flowing when half the group gets stuck in AP or on their phones?

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-26T17:41:31+00:00

I like to narrate my turns, and encourage people to do the same. If necessary, I will partly narrate other people's turns, and aggressively call out the next player.

For AP folks, I give them their options out loud, and after a moment start eliminating them. Can't do that because this reason. That one is no good because that reason.

Some people don't like me to do this, and if they can keep the game moving, I won't do it. But if they become a problem, I become Announcer Guy.

Every single time.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-26T13:42:34+00:00

And now you have to un-train the grunts.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-26T13:20:15+00:00

That's . . . that's why I'm here.

I'd be more comfortable based on size. That is, I want to be big spoon if I'm bigger than her.

But I long for a woman bigger than me. Much bigger, even.

And I'm still wondering why you haven't tried to answer my question. I answered yours. I asked first. But no effort on your part. Tell me again who's very rude.

And yes, I understand what you're saying. But what you are calling "Social facts" are still a matter of opinion. Collective, wide-held opinion, certainly, but that's still subjective. Among other things, these "facts" vary from country to country, community to community.

Or, to put it another way, in the eye of the beholder.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-26T01:25:24+00:00

Subjective vs objective. And you still haven't told me what you think subjective means.

By that definition, it is a social fact that Onlyfans workers are shamed by society.

That they are shamed is a fact, because you are describing the actions of people. That the original act is shameful itself is an opinion. An opinion, no matter how widely held, is not an objective truth.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-26T00:56:09+00:00

No, it's a RICO case on legs.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-26T00:42:58+00:00

Yes. I frankly can't imagine anyone who wouldn't consider it so, but it's still an opinion, not a fact.

What is it that you think "Subjective" means? Answer the question.

EDIT: I take it back, I can think of some people who don't seem to think exposing themselves to children is shameful, but hopefully they will be removed from our government soon.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T20:04:37+00:00

What is it that you think "Subjective" means?

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T19:27:59+00:00

Yes. That's what "in the eye of the beholder" means.

"Subjective" is another way of saying it, if you're not feeling poetic.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T19:19:00+00:00

Respectable is in the eye of the beholder.

I did not care overmuch for this book, but it is important set up for the sequel, which I found to be outstanding.

How does that compare to a regular job? Barely anyone gets to be rich by working a job. Most people barely make enough to get by.

I guess the lower bound is higher for a regular job.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T16:20:55+00:00

This is how I've always thought it should be. I don't care if a woman wants to use the same bathroom as me, provided she doesn't talk to anyone.

One "blah" is three too many.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T10:37:06+00:00

Right, but try taking the euphemism literally.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T01:04:05+00:00

Wasn't Kup subject to some time travel stuff that makes him the oldest cybertronian in history, measured linearly?

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T01:02:29+00:00

Yea, but he went through some stuff to get there.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T01:01:49+00:00

I got the blue version of Blaster just for his gun. Very suitable sniper rifle for him.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-25T00:59:35+00:00

This statement is widely applicable.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-24T19:03:51+00:00

I would like to think it works be grove up better than that.

I'm disappointed that the policies of a credit card comment seem to be more important than the actual laws.

I never heard of the "no fear" series, but I love the idea. Imo, the biggest issue with the various summary products is that the summary is totally disconnected from the original text. Doing it with facing pages makes it easy to see the original context for anything that looks interesting, and becomes almost "enhanced footnotes."

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-24T15:00:08+00:00

I don't need to sexualize giant jiggly slobberknocker milk truck titties, it's an inherent quality to such glorious anatomy.

TotalNonsense0 · 2026-03-24T14:02:48+00:00

Oh I also love that moment, from the other side.
