I’d also like a pony, while I’m dreaming.

Calvin & Hobbes reference appreciated.

I looked it up out of curiosity, and in 2024, New York City provided 1.35 trillion of the state’s 2.3 trillion dollar GDP.

I have an orange butthead who likes to bite but I have mostly trained him out of it, which really means he still does it but very gently or just grazes you with a fang.

Community - The slogan was ‘Six seasons and a movie.’

We are still waiting for our goddamned movie!

Something something Westworld.

I made a new D&D campaign in my world. Haven’t had inspiration in a while but I am having a great time with it.

I am hoping to eventually publish some of it more as inspiration for other DMs than to make much money.

In the process of making the map and history for this campaign, I made an unrelated place on the map that is worthy of its own adventure. That kind of unintentional synergy is greatly satisfying, and if I do want to publish the damned thing, a nice bonus.

Also, my players are loving it and unknowingly made a perfect party for my shenanigans.

That’s the basis for a decent standup bit if you’re that type of fat guy.

The only furry I’ve known is also trans, fwiw.

I mostly agree with you that I do not get the subcultures at fucking all, only to know that they are distinct. I don’t think most furries actually think that they are actually spiritually that animal in any way. Thats otherkin; you’re conflating two weird subcultures.

So the otherkin folk are really weird to me, but I dunno that they are clinically weird unless they truly believe their own shit.

Furries who like to get into suits and party, hey, do your thing, and sorry the real perverts make your existence harder. I don’t wanna yuck anyone else’s yum, just keep them at arms length.

I barely have enough spare cash for my hobbies. I can’t afford fursuits even if I wanted them. It’s weird! (Just mostly harmlessly so.)

I do love that it’s set in Bikini Bottom.

We nuked the hell out of the Bikini Islands for nuclear tests.

SpongeBob and his friends are all mutants.

I actually saw a minute or two of SpongeBob and was surprised/annoyed they didn’t seem to be moving underwater.

I think I expected the show to be more sophisticated in a useless way.

Oh I definitely got the genetic reference already, just wanted to know if I was reading it appropriately as a laugh.

Never having watched SpongeBob, I hear Popeye laughing and think that’s the joke. Am I right?

Oof. I hope there is at least a great story.

But you may get moments where you realize you are a very different person and start to mature or develop more deliberately.

To reply more to the OP, settling into a routine is definitely not the same thing as growing up, although they can happen at the same time.

Routines are fine but also limiting, and maybe that’s what you’re feeling. Breaking out of routines tends to lead to growth and change, but at a cost.

With oil, barrels is the normal unit of measure. Changing that makes it more difficult to compare to other oil spills.

Equivalent to about 5,302 barrels of oil. Did the conversion because I had no idea. Bad headline.

It’d be even more amazing if the original owner was still around and then it was stolen.

I’m a Community superfan. Still waiting on the movie.

This makes perfect sense given the massive purchase they just… hey, wait a minute…
