Yes, dear, strikes are *supposed* to disrupt the status quo. They're *supposed* to make things difficult.

That's the fucking point.

I swear shit comes in threes; twice this week my oldest went to the ER and we had a tornado warning the other night. Just let me hibernate until the apocalypse

@yurnidiot @spytfyre insert gif of Leo with a beer in hand pointing

To me Threads are just those things coming loose from my cardigan now stop bothering me while I navigate this micro fiche

@yurnidiot I wasn’t actually gone just incredibly inactive and lax in my posting

@gurupanguji thank you thank you I’ll be here all week

…because I was told to 👀😂

What if your safe word is actually a phrase

Is it then not an “escape clause”?

@gortehowe I actually did see it, it was truly a great exhibit!

@jeff @teddy @grumpylinuxadmin 5 minute limit Omg the willpower 😂😂😂

@teddy @grumpylinuxadmin @jeff how very dare you

And yes

@jeff @teddy @grumpylinuxadmin oh yeah as great as this game is it’s a huge time suck and i am coming to a point where I’m definitely going to be leaving it by the end of the next season or so

@jeff @grumpylinuxadmin @teddy also in addition to that it becomes a huge huuuuuge time suck the further along you get in the game and your server can be riddled with drama 😂😂😂

@jeff @teddy @grumpylinuxadmin basically, it’s free but you’re encouraged almost right away to start paying for stuff to make sure you get ahead and in this game because of the social and competitive nature you’ll most assuredly end up paying at least 50-100 a month. Its…a helluva rabbit hole. I manage to avoid paying for really a whole lot but the monthly pass that gives you access to some stuff

@grumpylinuxadmin @jeff no it’s like Risk with Zombies and a chat channel full of drama

@jeff @grumpylinuxadmin It has drained my life, it’s been the longest 20 years of my life playing this game

(It’s been 2 months)

@jeff @grumpylinuxadmin it’s called Last Fortress Underground and if you value your life you’ll run for it 😂

@jeff I stopped doomscrolling and traded it for watching imaginary borders on a fake map like a Hawk it’s about as useful to give my time to it as to throw myself down a hill head first 👀

@jeff I fell down a mobile game rabbit hole and I haven’t done a damn thing in two months
