We all played a game called Drug Wars. It was text based.

Wild cubs/kittens do though.

Being told that you should expect comments from random strangers based on your clothes is kind of creepy, tbh. Why can’t people keep to themselves?

I can’t stand the art style.

I look at it more on the level of discussing crimes via text or email or what have you. (I’m not saying sexting is or should be a crime. It’s an analogy).

If you don’t want it to get out, don’t document it. If you don’t care if it gets out, do whatever you want.

That’s not to say that it wouldn’t also be nice to have control over your own image nor that people shouldn’t go to jail for revenge porn, etc., but once it’s out there, it’s out there. You can’t put it back into Pandora’s box. That’s just how reality works.

There are decaf black teas if you want that. Or plenty of herbals.

I avoid stuff with hibiscus, which limits the herbals I can drink since it’s so prolific, but there are plenty of them.

Tea in America is fine. There are plenty of brands to buy and orange pekoe is perfectly okay, as long as it’s not Lipton. Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings are both America brands of tea that are perfectly fine and have large offerings.

I mean, if you’re that particular, just buy some PG Tips or Yorkshire Gold in the grocery store and brew it yourself.

Weird, about half of the sales during that time period for me were with plastic, but I lived in a city, so maybe that’s the difference.

At least do it outside or you’ll get blood on the carpet.

Context clues. Scorch is usually a temperature word, not a spicy food word.

Not all of us, but there is a subset who passionately hate cats and are very loud in letting you know about it.

I think they’re thinking of Sweetest Day.

That’s really just a Tuesday when you’re already used to roleplaying.

King’s Quest is still one of my favorite series ever and the one they put out a few years ago was a great retelling. I cried at the end.

Not having kids saves a lot of time. Also, not having a dog, or having a very low maintenance dog that doesn’t need a lot of walking.

GIF was pronounced with soft g since it came out, back in the 80s/90s when it was shared on AOL and CompuServe.

FWIW, in the 80s & 90s, everyone I knew pronounced it with a hard G, including folks at computer shows, which my family used to go to frequently.

To me, the soft g ‘jif’ pronunciation is the new Internet fad, not the other way around.

That’s because it’s a hard g.

You’ve been able to do diacritical marks with ASCII for over thirty years. It’s already standard. alt+0233
