An adult secret I love to teach kids is that none of us really know what the fuck we’re doing either, we’ve just gotten better at winging it over the years.

Upon reading the title I thought, this person has never been severely dehydrated before.

I don’t recommend it, I must say.

Put it in front of a group of DND players, or any other table top RPG really.

They’ll weaponize it before the session is over.

Texan here as well.

Yes, the sex education that was provided was horrible, probably still is.

Thankfully, between the internet and other sources of factual information, most of us figured it out. Most.

That being said, there were quite a few girls who left our campus for a long duration, and some for a shorter duration.

Well, I was in a networking class and me and my friends were poking around the network.

Now, what we did was in no way shape or form hacking.

We navigated to the nurse’s computer, labeled for convenience, and started poking around. Open access to it. HIPPA information, etc.

Anyways, the girls who left for a long time got knocked up, had a baby etc.

The short timers were usually a combination of suspension and some STD.

We missed the next period reporting the security concern to administration.

We did not mention we were responsible for the network outage the previous month; but if a batch file placed in the autostart of a few computers can bring the school down, they deserved it. We just wanted to cause some chaos and blow off a day where we all had classes in computer labs.

Don’t forget his vampire character from Bloodlines.

He’s mostly in the tutorial though he does show up later.

Old-school clockwork is very interesting, I get that.

I just have no personal desire to try to build something like that, lol. Then again, due to a neurological issue, I have slight tremor.

Working on laptops can be difficult some days. Clockwork gears? Eesh.

Black.

To those that will argue that black is the absence of color, or ALL the colors, fine. Then blue.

I’ve done a little volunteer work, and in the past I’ve donated financially to various charities.

At the moment, my last paycheck was for two days, and it took 5 months to get this job.

So, currently, no. I’m trying to get back in the saddle, pay off some shit, and start saving for emergencies again.

Also, you know, eating at least once a day can be nice, even if it seems like a luxury some days.

I miss the original GW classes.

I could never “click” with any of the classes in GW2. I wanted to enjoy it, and did to an extent, but it never kept me coming back.

That being said, I have a friend who is still VERY active in GW2 all these years later, so I guess its just me, lol.

Eh, task ChatGPT with it.

I would posit that it could be based on something else entirely, a civic or moral obligation a person feels to abide by the spirit of the law to help protect fellow people, even if they would not be punished or could some how gain something - in this case, a finite resource - time, for violating the law.

Had a dude take power equipment into the meat freezer, sheared off a sprinkler head in the process.

The freezer remained operational, so everything was coated in frozen sludge. Total loss of merchandise, and I think the power equipment was a loss too.

I’m not sure how he kept his job, but that wasn’t my call.
