Contender for most disappointing album of the 90's: the first Sugar Ray album. One okay song ("Fly") and then nothing but total garbage. I was so upset I spent money on that. Ugh.

It's good to laugh at your leaders. It prevents undo reverence. It shows they don't own you, that they are owed nothing but what they earn, not demand. It reminds you that, in the end, they are people fumbling through life the same as you, not figures of legend.

If someone asks me to "back up my point with facts" in an obviously confrontational manner, I'm just going to tell them to put on their big boy pants and do it themselves. I'm getting real tired of doing research for zombies who'll try to argue with the truth anyway.

If someone asks because they genuinely want to know more, I'm still happy to help.

Magic: The Gathering is pretty much ONLY fun when done casual. Competitive play has too much overhead. This is why EDH/Commander is the best format: high creativity while encouraging a fun table atmosphere.

I played the character Pretty Pretty Bomb Girl Sparky in Fate Accelerated.

I punched the axioms of the math equation dictating the structure of a hyperdimension, shattering a universal fractal and returning us to our reality. And I did it with a DBZ style explosive wave while SCREAMING for five episodes.

The EU is a system of terribly run countries bleeding off of slightly less terribly run countries. It encourages the failing nations to simply demand more help rather than improve, while punishing the nations with some semblance of productivity.
