Beneath the Mask in my ass

My first character was a "muppet-born" named Ché-Elmo, who interacted with the group over video chat directly (a hand-puppet Elmo with a red star cap was all they saw and heard), and was a Warlock who had made a pact with the being Carl Marx in exchange for power. His tome of power was Das Kapital, which I'd have him leaf through while we played.

He went missing a few years ago; it's my belief that he's out there now in some other dimension still sticking it to every merchant he encounters.

"Woman are you going to be able to get the kids"

Lmao this is not how I talk, nor do I have an SO nor kids. Though maybe that's for the best going by autocomplete

The good news: I don't drive anymore

The bad news: I did that shit because I grew up on an intersection with a real bad angle, so the only way to see both directions was to angle the car flat with the road I was turning onto. Then, even after moving, I did it because it gives better visibility.

Yo, the Elder hot sauce is great, though. I went online to buy more a few months after I saw them, lol

Hmm, perhaps I got lucky with my one work shirt - it was already a light red, and I didn't notice any dimming when I used a bunch of hydrogen peroxide on it to get a handful of blood out. Maybe it's just darker things?

There never was, all the way back to day one. Any given "operation" may or may not have overlapped in membership. The name is literal, and always has been; but with it comes a set of meanings and tropes (the mask, "we will not forgive, we will not forget, we are legion") that a given actor taking the name can invoke as a call to action for others, or use to simply mask their identity.

Most recent they passed the Inflation Reduction Act in '21, which gets me 30%* off my solar panels among a bunch of good moves for the country re: medication costs and the world re: global warming, and was voted against by every Republican.

Because of the level of polarization we have today, Republicans that vote with Dems worry about being primaried out of their seat, so the Republicans are against everything the Dems do anyway. It's impossible not to be defined by the phrase "not that guy" when "that guy" does the opposite of what you do on purpose.

Edit: bump from 20-> 30% Thanks Dempf!

Pretty much incapable of visualizing, even the simple apple experiment, but have loved reading since I was a kid. I've found myself when reading skimming a lot of the description sections and mostly following the dialogue, where most of the meat in books actually happens. I actually don't think I'd be able to write a book for the reason that I couldn't do the description section.

In my case I was read to sleep every night before bed when younger, so perhaps it was positive association that made it stick with me?

I do this for the same reasons - and also, snooze emails until two weeks before an event, then a week before the event, then a few days before the day of the event in order to keep reminding myself it's going to happen.
