Gah, tell that to my parents. Please.

Only rogues and layabouts believe that. American Dad is so superior!

+1 for reminding me about Kewpie and cucumber… I'll be right back.

No worries there, mayo with its low pH is micro-resistant. There's a whole FDA category of foods called Acidified and Acid foods, mayo being one of the former. pH lower than 4.3 and you're good to go for most micro pathogens.

It's the 20-30 hrs that keeps me from playing. I had a group on Sundays, but the commitment got too much for me, not to mention every other week we had 1-2 people missing. Common complaint for adult D&D'ers, I know.

Pro-tip: Use medium sized paper clips instead of those stupid plastic tabs that always fall off the character pentagons. The double bend in the paperclip perfectly aligns with the attribute number.

"Shameless male fantasy" is a LOT of what's being churned out right now, was in the past, and will be, well into the post-apocalyptic future.

The main difference between the ACLU and Thiel is that the former is a bureaucratic organization with a set of enforced standards, and the latter being a singular asshole with a lot of money, beholden only to himself and his vendettas. I fully support the ACLU, especially when they advocate for seemingly adversarial
