Hold up. I'm pretty sure things that already exist don't count.

Probably not sorry enough to stop pretending to be a teenage boy.

Forget this predator.

I had so much fun with hyper card! We had to use it in my programming class, I made a small text based RPG out of it!

How so? Seemed reasonable enough for the few things I checked.

And let me guess, you're a realist who always has the exact right amount of positivity or negativity that each situation requires.

Funny, I'm typically used to people leaning towards pessimism as the "smarter" perspective, and optimists being considered in naive or ignorant to "How things really are."

And reading your post in that context felt like reinforcement of that concept.

To be perfectly clear, I'm more optimistic, and I believe that if someone's pessimism is constantly bringing them down, then they should probably not lean so hard into it. But I wouldn't say one is better than another, we need as many differing perspectives as possible to create real working solutions.

Realists are just people who refuse to believe that their perspective is skewed.

Imagine the arrogance to think that your life experiences are exactly what's required to be right and completely objective all of the time

I see what you're saying, but perspective is not equatable to a math equation. An optimist and a pessimist can both have a complete understanding of the facts, but one predicts that things will get better, and the other predicts that things will get worse, and eventually, given enough time, they'll both be right.

There is no such thing as a realist. That's just what someone calls themselves when they don't realize that their perspective is flawed and unique to themselves.

I just changed it.

 

The Cursed Egg.

The only way it could be any worse is if it was a rental too.

And now my wife finally has stackable laundry in the kitchen.

 

He went to a yard sale with his mom and this is what he picked out.

 

Not at all what I expected. It's just a big metal frame covered with wood planks, mats, and canvas.

 

In the past 24 hours, I've gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn't put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY'S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone's report, they call every number that's ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry.

One of the callers, after being told I was not my ex, proceeded to read off her birthday and ask if that's when I was born. "No, but thanks for sharing her private information without permission."

If anybody was thinking about using Rocket Mortgage, I would recommend that you don't. If they are this shady on cold calling, I wouldn't trust anything else they do.

 
 

He needs some extra hands to pick up a snowblower. We haven't really talked in years. It'll be nice to catch up.

Just a thought that crossed my mind today.

If I was to ask everyone that you've ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be?

Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc?

Personally, my answer is "A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful."

Just wondering what the rest of feel.

EDIT: Based on the first few responses, I'm thinking I should have clarified better.

I'm not talking about your legacy after you're dead, I just mean right here, right now. You have left an impression on people. That is inevitable. Surely there aren't that many people that don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, but I must admit, it is a valid answer. Maybe you are the person who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

The Pastor of Muppets is coming your way!

 

Kind of a shower thought, and maybe it's just how I run campaigns, but it feels like there's a lot of parallels between DMing and that guy who has a great idea for a book/movie but will never write a single page.

The DM comes up with "So what if there's this guy with this magic power, and the only way to beat him is through a very specific process." And then all the Players decide: who are the characters? What do they do? What do they say? How's it all work out?

 

My wife put in a pickup order at Sam's Club, so while we were up there, we got supper at the Chinese buffet!
